coLoRs FOR SMALL HOUSE.
The Furnishings Should All be In Perfect
Hnrmony.


How few people when furnishing a
small house or fat remember that old
blue is one of the ,iiappiest colors to
| cho ,se fora foundation. A house where,
as a rule, all the rooms open into one
another, especial care must be taken to
preserve harmony. 1t is hetter then
to select one color which shall run
through all the rooms. Old blue is the
color par excellence in such case,
combined with tan, gray or white for
the rugs, while the same scheme pre-
walls in the heavy draperies. A lovely
little house in mind has parlor and
library in one. The large rug, cover.
ing the greater part of the room, is
old blue and gray.
In front of the fireplace is long,
light gray fur one. A broad, low
lounge is covered with dark gray. II
is always better to cover lounge in a
solid color as it takes more kindly to
the pillows of endless hues The large
dining-room rug is old blue and tan,
with smaller rugs of tawny brown.
The bedroom has an old blue and large
white rug and white fur smaller ones
Let old blue predominant everywhere
in the floor furnishings and draperies,
but not to the exclusion of all other
colors elsewhere for where one color
only is used the effect as a whole is
fiat Odd, bright color touches in the
way of pillows, lamp shades, odd bits
of china and bric-a-brac, but with al
ways an eye to what is the proper color
for each room. When all furnished,
be careful to see whether all the rooms
blend into beautiful harmony.
In bedroom white enameled or
bird's-eye maple is exquisite where two
or three pieces of fresh old mahogany
are added. Each heightens the others
beauty in the most charming manner.
A room furnished entirely in mahoga-
ny gives a heavy, dismal effect, but in
a parlor and library combined, say in
a fat or small house, place large,
quaintly-caryed old desk, and one OF
those highly-polished, round card-ta.

the modern and equally beautiful fur

mahogany table with surface like

else in the room. Have exquisite

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

How Our Foreign Representatives Appear
in tho Eyes of Mexicans.
The Correo Espanol affects to consid.
err the Americans of no account diplo-
matically, possessing no moral and in.
tellectual influence in the world, and
points to the fact that the United
States have not yet produced a great
genius We yield to none in our ad-
miration for the great men of Spain;
no poet like Calderon has arisen in the
United States, no great and splendid
genius like Cervantes, but the Correo
Espanol should remember that Spain
itself does not produce such giants Of
the human intellect every generation,
and it should not forget that the Amer.
leans come of that great race that has
given the world Shakespeare and a
Bacon, colossal minds who belong to
all the world, to all humanity, even as
do Cervantes and the splendid Col.
deron.
The French commissioners at the
worlds fair at Chicago have made a
report that it would be we'll for the
Correo Espanol to republish. The
frank and candid Frenchmen avow
their astonishment at the munificent
provision the United States have made
for education, at the school-houses,
which are palaces at the huge public
libraries open to the poorest, at the
great publishing houses which give to
the world more than four thousand
books year-all evidences of re-
markable intellectual movement which
fair-minded journal should take into
account.
The Americans are not always shin
ing successes in diplomacy, and yet
any American may point with pride to
diplomats like Motley, Bancroft and
Lowell, and to the great Franklin,
who, in simple citizens dress at the
brilliant court of France, obtained a
success that old-school diplomates, all
lace and ruffles, might well envy.

foreign countries ministers who are
