Artistic Apartments

A decorator who has his own original
ideas on decorations says that the great
fault in American houses is over-orna-
mentation, says the Upholsterer
Things beautiful in themselves are SC
crowded that the eye is bewildered and
can find no central point on which to
rest. The decoration of room should
culminate or center at some spot, and
from that the lines should divergs ac-
cording to artistic rules. We see the
force of this in cathedrals where the
altar forms the grand climax of orna-
mentation of furnishing. OF course
there are minor centnrs as there is
always secondary plot in every good
play, but the eye should ins inctively
be guided to the main point of decora.
tion. In an ordinary house this is the
fireplace and maatel in each room, and
special care should be taken that artis-
tic rules are not broken in the orna-
nentation of that most important part

On the whole, though, women are

try house, save for servants on the top

continued to make up her accounts,
contriving to atfix mark ON every bill,
and the whole sum, amounting to sew

lessly in her dress drawer, blew out her
light, got into bed, and heard very dis

Women and Burglars

To scream is convenient but doubt
full expedient, and few enough of US
have just the courage to meet the
situation as did Mrs. Lorillard. She
had come home one night from the
opera, kind-heartedly dismissed her
tired maid, and began to undo the
jewels from her hair, when reflection
from her mirror showed her an unmis-
taxable masculine foot, clumsily clad,
protruding from beneath the bed.
When all the ornaments had been re-
moved she went across to the bedside,
knelt down and softly began her pray
ers, which somehow that night we're
more hearty and generous than ever
before. She prayed for her friends
and family, for the needy, and then in
placid voice for any who might be
tempted to commit crimes. An uncon-
trollable sob interrupted her devotions,
and gaunt, hungry-looking red
headed man crawled from hiding blub-
bering like small boy.
He turned out to be an eX-coachman
of the family, who had fallen from
grace into crime, in which his extraOr-
dinary tender ssnslbillties must sooner
or later have brought him to grief and
