curtains, be they simple or expensive
material, are sure to look well, and no
number of other good characteristics,
such as beauty of design or pattern,
will compensate for the loss of this
quality.
In the matter of Innings it is well to
match the principal shade of your
drapery with some soft material, such
as armure or the silk-faced goods sc
plentiful in the market nowadays, end
to be found in every conceivable color
and shade, from 25 cents per yard and
upward. An immense step has been
taken lately in the production of fab
RIGS suitable for household draperies
and it is safe to say that it is the pYr
chaser's own. fault if the materials
chosen should not suit even the most
fastidious taste.-Chicagp Chronicle.

NEW FLOOR TREATMENT.
Paper Representing Grained Oak, Par
quetry or Tiles.

Paper Representing Grained Oak, Par
quetry or Tiles.
The last new thing in foor-coverina
is paper-that is, the floor is laid with q
paper initiating or representing grained
oak, paIquetry, tiles, mosaic pavement
or what not. The process is as follows:
The floor is first smoothed, then two or
three layers of newspapers, saturated
with -four paste, are applied, made
smooth, and left to dry. Then the wall.
paper-that which represents grained
oak being preferred-is glued down on
the substratum of newspapers, and,
after being sized, is vanished. The
chief recommendation of paper floor
ing is its cheapness; for a room not
used for much traffic it will answer a
purpose. 1t will not do if there is any
dampness about the floor.
Enameling is another novel process
for treating floors, but it differs from
papering in that it is rather expensive,
requiring as it does several coats of
paint, with vigorous intermediate rub
bings down with very fine glass paper.
The ordinary enamels sold in the shops
are not to be recommended for this
purpose, as, from the nature of their
composition, they are apt to crack and
chip.
Ebonizing for floors can be easily
done by boiling logwood chips in water
one pound of chips to one quart of
water-till the liquid is well colored.
Apply this to the floor evenly and care
fully, giving second application if the
boards are close textured. When this is
quite dry apply in similar way a
strong solution of sulphate of iron in
water. A good chemical Unlike black
will be the result, which, after sizing,
may be vanished like any other stain,
or, preferably, it may be polished with
beeswax and turpentine. The duller
surface so given is better, artistically
speaking, than the glazing, shining sur
face given by a varnish, at any rate
where a black stain is used. Apropos
to a floor stain, any which pretends to
be varnish as well, and in which the
varnish is spirit as opposed to any oil
varnish, is a mistake in so far as floors
are concerned. 1t may answer for some
articles of furniture, but is not durable
enough for floors. To an oil varnish,
suitably colored, there is no objection,
but stain, subsequently sized and var
nished, is best. 1t is a mistake to size
the floor before staining it, although
some people prefer so doing. 1t may
save little stain, but there is the GER
tainty of the stain and the varnish peel
ing off eventually in fakes where there
is much wear.-Diana Crossways, in
Chicago Record.

wreaths can be cut from the thin sheet
iron with stout pair of shears and ap
piled to the box with iron carpet tacks,
The stems TO the wreaths are pieces Of
ron caught down with small staples.
At hardware store purchase four
claw feet and fasten one under each
corner of the box; these will elevate 1t
from the table, and allow draft to
pass under the box and up through the
holes in the bottom; otherwise the
lamp would not burn in satisfactory
manner.
All the metal work should be given O
coat or two of black pain; thinned with
turpentine and Japan dryer to finish
them nicely, and if a more glossy
black is desired, they may be painted
with asphaltum varnish. A very good
black paint for metal can be made by
adding lamp black to brass lacquer
and il too thick it may he thinned with
alcohol TO the consistency of rich milk
and applied to the metal with a soft
bristle brush.
| A balloon shade made of silk, paper
or silkoline will add the finishing touct
20 the lamp, and one of this shape will
be found desirable, as it completely
shades the eyes from any direct ray
from the bright light-Boston Globe

Crash Toweling the Best.

Don't try to bathe with stingy little
wash cloths. The very best kind of a
wash cloth is made of rough crash tow
cling. The square of the cloth will
answer. Hem ON both edges, and boil
till all the brown comes out oft. 1t
takes right hold of the dirt. A sponge
Is not body cleanser at all. 1t is too
smooth and soft. Pretty gift wash
cloths are made by crocheting large
squares of coarse white Irvine in the
common one-thread stitch, and put
ting @ pretty border about the edge,
in scallop fashion. Many people do
not know it, but for baths In hard
water common sal soda Is the very
best substance for breaking" the
water. 1t lis kind TO the skin and 1,
whitening. II fact, 1t IL much better fo1
the flesh than borax or ammonia.

PRETTY STANDING LAMP,
A Bit of Home Handiwork That Is Not
So IEtrIcate as IL Looks.

A BIT of Home Handiwork That Is Not
So IEtrlcate as 1t Looks.
The illustration shows an attractive
design for standing table lamp.
For any woman who is handy with
light tools this lamp box will be an easy
one to make, as it is very simple af.
fair, though seemingly elaborate.
This box for the lamp, strangely as it
may seem, is made of thin pieces OF
board, a yard of bagging, some strips
of stove pipe iron end few large-head-
ed nails, also small quantity of paint.
First secure box such as canned
goods are packed in and break it apart,
taking care not to split any of the thin
boards. Then purchase lamp fount
having a good central draft burner,
and of the boards made q box the
square of which will be about an inch
larger than the diameter of the lamp
fount.
This box should be about 10 inches
high and eight inches square; in the top
cut round hole sufficiently large to adj
nit the fount, but not so large that it
would fall through.
There will be a metal rim or flange
around the top edge of the front to rest
on the edge of the hole. In the bottom
of the box have few large holes to al
low the necessary draft to pass up t0
The burner.
Cover the entire outside of the box
with bagging stretched tight and
tackled securely at the corners, or, il
preferable, It may be held in place with
rood liquid-glue painted on each side
of the box and against which the bag
ging may be firmly pressed. When the
glue is dry give the bagging several sue
cessive coats of paint of some desirable
color, such as sage green. old iron or
light salmon pink, and when it is thor
oughly dry bind the edges and cor
.rers of the box with thin strips Of
metal.
At tinsmith's purchase few sheets
Of thin stove pipe iron and cut it in
strips an inch and half in width. Lap
them on the corners of the box so three
quarters of an inch of metal will ap-
pear on a side. With an awl and a
small hammer make holes in the metal
