scrap occurred in which some pretty
close calls were made on the lives of two
or more individuals. 1t seems that a
Der took part; negroes on M side and

other as leaders. Nose LaMear recei,-
ed a gunshot wound III the left side neal

Use OF a Red Light in the Sick Room
Has Proven Beneficial.
1t is we'll known that red light pos
sesses some peculiar property which an
nuls the chemical effect produced by
other hues composing the solar spec
trum. A red light is used in photo
graphic dark rooms because it's RAYS do
not effect the sensitive plate in the
process of developing. Some time ago
it was suggested that the pits which ap-
pear in the face after a severe attack of
smallpox might be due to the action Of
the sunlight. With a view to testing
this theory the windows of the rooms
in which the patients were confined
were shaded by orange-colored curtains.
The results were not very satisfac-
tory, possibly because the experiment
was bunglingly done. The idea was
not given up, however, and lately some
tests have been made with red light.
which has a greater power than ors.gt
light to exclude the suns rays. The
light was tried on several unvaccinated
children suffering from smallpox in a
German hospital and the disease i'm
mediately took a favorable turn. AL
though the pits appeared, they did not
break, and finally disappeared, leaving
the skin perfectly smooth. There was
no secondary fever. According to DR..
Feilberg, who conducted this test, the

Good HOuSekeepers Did Not Die With
Our GruBdmOthers, Oh, No!
I T IS a mistake TO suppose that the
race OF good housekeepers died out

i small woman WHO could give some or
those blessed Old DANES POINTS On
Housekeeping that would make them open
their eyes II requires greater executive
ability to manage n louise that is dainty
and artistic in all It's belongings than one
whose chief characteristics are baroness
and clea niiness.
Drapcries and bric-a-brac and Gowny
cushions represent work in the way of
airing and busting and teating that our
srandmothers were strangers to. Not
that there were no curtains or cushions
in the good Old days, but they were by
no means so universal, and were found
principally in homes of wealth, where
there were servants galore.
The houseEccper who has inspired my
present theme is what might be called
a new woman" She is a MUSICIAN; she
has a ConImodioGs and clega ut home. which
is always in perfect order and perfectly
managed; she has four young children,
whose wardrobe and eduCations and amuse-
ments are managed with the most Perfect
generalship; she is a member OF soTosis,
and finds time for social pleasures as well
and, best OF all, her husba nd, himself uIo-
fessional man or note, is happy and proud
OF his wife.
Down TO the smallest detail her house
keeping is a perfect system perfectly man
aged. The mattresses OF the beds are ali
incased in muslin slips, which are laun-
dcred with regularity. There are laundry
bags in each room for collars and cuffs and
handkerchicfs. In the buffers pantry
hangs bag of heavy linen, in which is
kept by itself all soiied table napery.
There are silken bags for dust cloths
in some out OF the way corner of each
room and little feather brio -a-brac dust
ers at hand wherever needed. There are
always whisk broom and hat brush
in the hal! and large and small broons
and dustpans on each floor. The library
and guest room contain materials for
writing u letter, and in the latter room
Is also well-appointed wOrkbasket,

LITTLE ECONOMIES.
Colonial DraperieS and Inexpensive
Upholstering fur Y our BEDROOM.

- ONE OF the prettiest window curtains
andporticresIor country houses and.
indeed suitable also for city rooms
~ that are fisr,i ishcd in old Colonial
style are tie Colonial draperies, in
various colors, such ,asoid blue. old red and
forest green.
They have narrow cross stripes in self
colorings mingled Wiz white. and on the
ends these cross .stHpes. are i'll groups.
forming border. Tie material is Of cot
ton, ofrather loose we've, nd heavy enough
to hang gra, efuIiy. II is the same on both
sides, and is moderate in price.
Many and various are the pretty things
OF moderate cost which are used for house
decoration. and which, with judgment in
their selection. will make the most simple
room attractive. Among these are small
wicker chairs without arms. the seat up
holstered in striped japanese mating,
and the wicker painted forest green. Set
tees OF the same, with very high backs,
upholstered ON seat and ok with India cot
ton material, in groups OF brilliant stripes
on a dull burf ground, are also very hand
some and far from costly.
A new and attractive material for up
holstcring white enameled furniture is of
olive-green color, with wide stripes OF a
darker shade gree, The material is OF cot
ton with corduroy stripes. and there are
wall papers which are made to match.
Chairs OF oak or other wood which have
become defaced and scratched. and are
seemingly hopeless. may be changed to
very decorative objects by painting them
with white enamel paint which dries very
rapidly, and when applied carefully has
most beautiful smooth surface. The seats
can he easily upholstered at home in some
pretty stuff, such as above described, and
should be put ON with very small gilt or
brass-headed tacks, the heads not much
larger than those or the ordinary carpet
tacks.
A white enameled chair, with seat up
holstered in forest-green corduroy, put on
without braid, and with tiny brass acks
placed very close together, was so attrac-
tive that it has formed the keynote for
wholeset ofdelightfulfu furniture yolved from
much be-scratched and shabby bedroom
suite. If fOrest-green is used to paint
old furniture it shows its best effects when
oak is the wood, the handsome grain show
ing to perfection under the green color, and
giving to the piece richness ard beauty
that are most satisfactory.-Vo gue.

Hand-Painted Shades.

Now that afternoon tea is one of the func-
lions of social life every woman Is trying to
Guido every other woman in The way she
arranges her tea table. The china and
silver are, of course, more or less alike. but
there can be many an individual and dis
iinctive touch given by the placing ofthe cups
on the tray, and above all by the lighting
OF the table. Electricity and gas are not
to he thought of, but there is an infinite
variety of the daintiest little lamps and
shades to choose from.
China. glass and silver lamps are all fash
ionable, and the little empire shades are
singulariy pretty. They are all of the one
shape, of course, but are of different ma
terials, the parchment hand-painted being
the su,artest. Some arc embroidered with
opalescent spaDgIes on silk, and these are
very snowy. Pink Is the favorite color, for
it casts the most becoming light.

WOMEN THE MORLD OVER.

lhERE any tHiilS, asks MlraUQd,
u tartiy in the Lady's Pictorial, .of
which Mrs. Lynn Linton approves?
j 1t seems as if her voice were raised
in continual wall of lamentat ton
and denunciation over everything a nd every
body. She has way of brea king out, too,
when most other people have quite finished
with a subject over which there has been
any controversy, and she invariably treats
itfrom the unfavora Bile point Of view. This
is, OF all times, the most unpromising, one
would think, to begin to inveigh against the
cycle craze, but, on the principle that any
ropeis good enough to hang with, Mrs. Lynn
Lynton apparently thinks any time will do
for grumbling, and accordingly she is now
having her say-a very severe one, of course
on the Uncomfortable craze which has
swept over England and which she finds "A
cross between tight-rope and the tread
MILL Possibly IL Mrs. Lynn Linton would
for once in a way allow herself to fall a vic
tim to craze and take to the healthful pas
time of cycling, she might see things in less
pessimistic light, and make a few allowances
for young people full of life and spirits.'

example consisted of an enormous hat,

interesting flora Of black ostrich feathers.

who sat directly back of the prima donna,
the hat was just about the size Of cheese

OF this glossy silk. The bonnets are de-
mure little affairs OF light ground, with
blurred chine flowers, trimmed with loops
and drapery of velvet of the color pre-
yailing in the flowers. The round hats
are OF plain black taffeta. somewhat In
sailor shape, but shirred all over in row

small, nearly flat puffs around the crown
and brini. The trimming Is black Brus-

Lavender Pillows

Lavender pillows are the latest comforts
for tired heads, and the bare thought of
the clean. refreshing scent seems TO give
Keller. Certainly they are likely to he much
more inviting than the pine needle cush-
ions that are used for the same purpose.
The covers are made of heliotrope-colored
linen prettily embroidered with flax threads
OF the same tint, but in paler shades. Others
are covered with white linen and are deco
rated with spikes of the lavender flowers
worked in the natural colors. These cush-
ions are a development OF the lavender
sachets that have been SO much appreciated.

To Make Tea-As Requested.

TEA should never touch metal. 1t should
be kept in paper, wood. glass or porce-
lain. To max II, put small quantity in a
porcelain cup, fill the latter with boiling
water, cover 1t with a porcelain saucer and
let it stand three minutes. Then, If You
desire to be an epicure, drink only the
upper layer OF the golden liquid, throw
the rest away, rinse the cup and begin
again. Never use sugar. Do not use milk.
1t ruins the flavor OF the tea, and the
combination injuries the stomach. So the
Chinese say, and they ought to know their
own beverage. Aobve all things, do not
boil teaa.

flaring as an umbrella, is made OF plaid
velvet in small checks, showing tints of
dull old blue, gold and tobacco brown.
1t is softly lined with rich brocade,
