The ceiling has a circular centerpiece of

Mrs. Watson's boudoir was being deco
rated under her personal supervision, until
her hasty marriage, which occurred in San
Jose, Cal, the day before Christmas. 1t
was Mr.. Spreckels' idea to secure all the ma
terigls in his house from this side of the
Atlantic. When Miss Spreckels decided on
such an elaborate bath room there were
doubts about getting the material here, but
the manufacture of fancy tiles in this coun-
try has improved SO rapidly that several OF
tho concerns arc excelling the work of the
European makers.

INTERIOR DECORATIONS.
Reputation and Fortune Achieved in
Practical Art Work.

Reputation and Fortune Achieved in
Practical Art Work.
Women have at last established a foot
ing for themselves as artistic interior dec
orators.
This is due to determined effort as vel
as to superior education and ability.
Wall papers and carpet designs and all
of the embroideries that go to embell.sh q
home have long been considered women's
work. The desire, however, to put this
knowledge to practical uses at once brought
about the struggle of competition with men,
Yet, strange to say, in spite of the marked
success already achieved by those artist
workers, the old idea that decoration means
paint and ladders, and hence must be a
masculine undertaking, still remains.
To be a successful decorator means years
of study in art and architecture, that both
color and proportion may be thoroughly UNI
derstood. To this must be added a knowl-
edge OF rugs, antique and modern, and of the
tapestries of different ages and countries;
in fact, a knowledge of all textile fabrics
and their possibilities is essential.
The ability to adapt the material at hand
to the apartment as wellcas to the occupant
Is a distinct talent. To make a small room
large, in effect at least, to bring down a high
ceiling and to give the appearance of space
cred. must be within the power OF every
successful decorator in modern cities of flats
and small rooms. 80
An apartment of five rooms can be COM
pletely fitted by an artistic; woman decora-
tor for $500 and In a style, TO, suit the taste
or requirements OF the occupant.
Among the most recently known and mcst
popular artistic decorators Is Mrs. Bodine.
Her otill in color and III, oriental effects
Is so conspicuous that she has recently re-
ceived an order to renovkte d large house In
London. The plans and photographs of the
building sent her are so complete that she
expects to carry on the work without leav-
ing her New York studio.
Another well-known New York woman is
Miss Brush, the originator Of the wonderful
Limoges embroidery, and she it was who
executed the famous jewel work in the Van
mansion she is an inventor of fabrics,
as well as a designer, and her great success
Is due, not only to ability, but to earnest,
untiring attention to her profession, coupled
with years of study.
Miss T~illinghasts knowledge of stained
gIaso and her famous tapestries have won for
her reputation as well as fortune.
In Cleveland the fashionable thing just
nov is to have a home or at least a room
by the Misses Cahoon and Smith.
They opened last year a beautiful studio and

each side, one toward the front and one

tiers of fine tucks running up and down and
Is open over a front of gray tulle s~pangled
with steel. The blouse droops a little all
around over a four-inch wide belt so that
1t has a little the effect of a bolero. The
belt Is OF white, striped with lines Of steel
braid, and is fastened with q bow of velvet.
Spangled tulle Is in the neck and wrists.
A heart-shaped piece of white lace, with steel
is appliqued on the front of the neckband
and falls slightly Town over the tulle. The
sleeve Is cut in one piece with a puff at the
top, and the lower part of the puff is in
tucks running round. The skirt is finished
separate from the lining and is slightly gath
cred on the sides, the p,aits being included
In the gathers. Openwork steel passemen-

A BUTTER MILK FAD.
An Up-tO-Dnte Complexion Wash and
Drink.

Drink.
The fashionable young woman has dis
covered in a homely farm product a potent
charm. Physicians claim that a daily glass
of buttermilk, slowly taken. will do much
towards repairing the wrinkles and ravages
caused by late hours and myriad social func-
tions-that it tends to render feminine nerves
what they should be.
Women with lovely compilations are heard
throughout the land attributing these to the
same gentle restorative. Wherefore, the
up-to-date maiden has resorted to butter
milk.
For the complexion, the milk is applied
outward as a face wash. A few days ago
a Philadelphia Prees reporter asked a society
girl who is decidedly up on the subject,
just how the liquid must be applied in order
to produce best health results.
WELL" she answered. First Of all, the
face Is bathed thoroughly with lukewarm
water, being we'll rlnsed and dried. The
buttermilk is then laid over the face with
a cloth or the hands only. The entire face
must be creamed with it. 1t is allowed to
remain until thoroughly dry. Some women
keep 1t on over night. but this is rather an
extreme measure. Once that 1t has become
thoroughly dry, the milk is washed off with
warm water, CASTLE soap and a soft cloth,
and the face thoroughly dried. That's all
there Is to 1t. The foundation of a clear
ohiH ID ldIu.
Another individual who knew all about
the buttermilk cure was the proprietor OF a
small milk shop upon a modest side street
in the central part of the city.
Have the young ladies got a buttermilk
craze?' he said, laughing. in answer to my
question. II should think so. Drop In here
some morning about II o'clock and see for
yourself. They come in-lots of them-every
morning. Sometimes they sit light here
upon the stools and drink il. Sometimes
they take 1t way in TASKS and bottles.
Those who drink 1t right here in the es-
tablishment very often bring a sandwich
along or a bit of cake in their pockets. Most
OF them like 10 take 1t here because of the
queerness OF the thing"
How much is usually ordered?" /
asked.
Casually one glass. They drink very
slowly. Some thin. delieate-looking girls take

Last OF all. but by no means least, l

clan.

Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, believes
that next to sweetness cleanliness is the
greatest OF virtues. While some rich men
build churches, his penchant is bathrooms.
He is now putting up a G 5000, 900 palace that
will have six of the finest bathrooms in
America. They will cost s5O.O 900 when they
are all finished. Each bathroom differs from
the others, but there is one that has more
art and science to the square inch than any
other place In the land
One is the bathroom of Mrs. Emma Wat
son. That is to say, the room was intended
for Miss Emma Spreckels, was designed by
her. and was to be- part OF her quarter of a
million boudoir, but Miss Spreckels has
since changed her name and residence, and
she Is now Mrs. Thomas Watson, and is bath
ing in an ordinary hotel bath tub in San
Francisco. Her secret marriage to Mr..

PARIS, Feb. 17.-If we have not a definite
new style VIC seem to have a new departure
for one, which amounts TO pretty much the
same thing.
The latest novelty In bodices Is a Ions
pointed front. The point is oftenest made
with a belt, whaleboned to keep 1t down.
] think that probably It is only a passing
fancy and that 1t may even have disappeared
by the time these lines are printed; for 1t is
out Of harmony with the general movement
OF the mode and has tho air OF having been
inspired by the near APPROACH Of Mardi Gras;
nevertheless, as II is the caprice OF the mo-
ment, here is a GOWN made with such a
point. II is Of gray zibelline cloth, a fash
ionable material with a woolly surface like
cotton narrel, trimmed with velvet of the
same color. There is a belt Of the velvet
with a deep point in front, a bolcro of tho
velvet pointed in front and running up high
behind. ard a velvet band on the skirt that
begihs low In front and runs high
at the back. All these lines are
parallel and give the figure a suggestion
OF being cut in three diagonal sections. To

less here is a model. The materials are
gray surah shot with black and black jetted
lace or passementerie. Make a black lining
skirt and cover the top smoothly with the
surah; to this add a plated skirt OF the
surah, sewing 1t on some five or six inches
down from the top so as to leave a yoke.
Ooyer the yoke with the Jetted lace, letting
the lace run down in points at intervals all
round to break the effect of a straight line.
Make the blouse with a yoke and cover the
yoke and the top OF the sleeves with the
lace.
NEW JACKET AND BLOUSE.
But perhaps the greatest marvel the times
have perfected Is the loose jacket that In the
beginning was flowing and wide. and is now
metamorphosed by the chic tailors into an
effect OF slimness and length. This jacket
rs the principal element in the serge gowns
and the bicycle dress for spring. 1t is drawn
as close to the figure as keeping 1t straight
will allow, for II must not curve In any
where, an apparent contradiction that gives
rise TO an entirely new effect.
