A Den for the Man of the House.

n man vino is SO successful in his busi-
ness that he is enabled to maintain q
modern apartment in New York city.
and who, on coming home at night has
no room to claim particularly as his
own, is nothing but passenger in his
own establishment. The New York man
is Il nervous man. The wear and tear
of business day increase the tension
upon his nerves to the very limit, and
by the time he is ready to respond to the
attractive force of the magnet he calls
home, he is more of a shackled brute
who, but for the force of his chains of
courtesy. would yield to devastating and
bloodthirsty impulses and wreak ven
gcance on all that came in his track.
He leaves the cares of business to shout
der other cares. His intentions may be
the best in the world, naturally, but the
abnormal condition superinduced by
OverWrOught nerves changes his nature.
l like the word den as name for the
place to which he may repair and grad
1aliy loosen the nerve tension and re-
move the chains with which he has
bound himself, fguratively, in order that
he may be a criminal in thought only.
Livery man has right in his own
home to one room that is exclusively his
own. He is entitled to have door to
the room; to couch on which he may
iHuulSe III Il nap "neQ nature suggests
it; to desk in which he may file away
his rent receipts; where he may even
lay those receipts carefully on a chair
and find them there when he looks for
them later; where he may hang his hat
on the bric-a-brac if he wishes to; where
he may, smoke the draperies and fill the
atmosphere with the smoke and have no
one to comment upon it: where he may
read late at night and sleep in his chair
for hours and have no one to prompt
him or object; where he may go at times
when he loses his temper and wishes to
exhaust his vocabulary of profanity.
Den is such good name for retreat
of this sort. 1t is the cocoon room i'll
which the metamorphosis from the brute
to the man takes place; wherein Mr..
Hyde becomes DR.. Jekyll. In the mod
crn apartment the various rooms belong
to various persons. The kitchen be-
longs to the cook; likewise the dining
room; the parlor belongs to the public;
the library to the wife, and likewise the
boudoir. a man SO situated tells me he
hasn't foot of space to call his own.
This chapter was suggested by him.
In conclusion, every wife might WOO the
god of happiness quite successfully if
she would set aside one roon-the most
quiet room in the house, if possible-and
arrange it to suit the taste and con-
venicnce of the nerve-weary bread Win
ner of the family.-Haryot Holt Cahoon,
New York Recorder.

J. T. WAREHOUSE

So many things are adver-
tised by dealers as suited to
the wants of persons who de-
light in giving during the
Christmas season. Nearly
every merchant or manufac-
turer advertises that his wares
are suitable for Christmas; it
doesn't make any difference
whether it is a needle case or
a IL ton roller. We differ from
most merchants because we
believe our stock contains the
only useful articles fit to be
put in a stocking. In these
fin de steele times when Santa
Claus has ceased in the minds
of anyone above a four year
old, useful and beautiful pre-
sents are selected. Where is
the Miss Of fifteen who would
| not rather have a set of China
in her stocking than a wax
doll? We have sets or single
pieces fit to grace any table
beautiful French Ware with
handsome decorations.
But our stock of Cut Glass
is what wins the ladies. Com
petition in this line of goods
has brought the price down
with US to a trife above cost
it is cheap enough now to go
into the homes of the poor.
We have everything in the
line-Pepper and Salts, Oils,
Vinegar, Asparagus Dishes,
Rose Bowls, Butter Tubs,
etc, etc.

LATEST STYLES IN eoNNETS AND IN
DRESSES.

Dress Skirts Arc Less Simple, Being
Trimmed With Flounces, Embroidered
Bands, Braid, Eto.-Trimming on Sleeves
Confined to tho Upper Part.
There is nothing strikingly novel as
get in the dresses, at least among those
30 far made by the leading dressmakers.
The general tendency is in tho direction
Of less simple and less stiff skirts.
Sleeves are almost tight fitting, and only
assume importance in the upper part by
reason Of tho trimming. The princess
style and the use Of two skirts, also the
adoption of small flounces, crenulattons
and bands ornamented with embroidery
round the lower part Of skirts. appear
to to predominant. Boleros continue to
be fashionable. As to materials, cloths
Of light texture, india and tibet CASH
meres, are to be chiefly worn, with fur
for trimming. This is the news from
Paris as reported IN the European edi-
ton Of the New York Herald, which
gives illustrated descriptions Of the
modes seen in leading Paris houses.
An evening gown Of white MORO aid
brocade affords a model for full dress
occasions. The skirt is round, touches
