Pianos.

There are many cheap, inferior pianos
in the market which can be obtained on
almost any terms. They are dear at any
price. A high-class instrument may cost
little more, but it is cheapest in the
end, besides being superior in tone and
volume, and much more satisfactory.
Such one is the Wing piano. You can
have twenty days trial of it without cost,
and if not satisfactory it may be returned.
Terms reasonable. For particulars call

Warm Weather Spreads.

The most elegant and dressy spreads
for the warm season are of EN- broid-
cred muslin. These come with initials
elaborately worked in the center and
border all around, edged with lace.
The bolster sham may be separate,
though many prefer the spread in one
long piece to cover the whole. TO SIM
ulate the expensive kind, the skirt em-
broidery may be used, joining the
scal1oped edges through the center by
tapping them on lace. The plain edge,
being tucked in, requires no finish.
Thin spreads such as these are laid
over sheet or coIored muslin
as preferred. Flowered Swiss and
organdie muslins, though cas-
ily rumpled, make most dainty
spreads, and are well worth the care
to keep them smooth. For instance,
three breadths of the muslin, lowered
with great, luscious pink roses. are
matched in figure and hemmed IN all
around; to this is sewed pretty
cheap lace. The Italian is a good kind,
if very light. Swiss is used. Heavier
goods require heavier lace. The
room being dressed ia pink, the spread
lends its color, and curtains are hung
of the same tied with ribbon TO
match. This sort of spread is espec-
tally appropriate for the brass and iron
bedsteads. A valance Of needlework
is hung along foot and sides. m. Y.
