HOME DECORATION.

The Revival OF japanese Decoration-A
Cinderella Room.
The use Of japanese decoration, which
first became fashionable Immediately
after the centennial in Philadelphia,
has had revival. Our posters, our
fondness for line drawing and for wide,
fiat washes Of color, are distinctly Japa-
nese in origin, and as the fad for these
becomes grotesque, the wise decorator
goes back to the old art Of japan for
fresh inspiration. Tho Puritan, In this
connection, says:
We know more Of Japanese art than
we once did, and we apply IL different
ly. 1t does not consist In lacking few
fans and embroideries about the walls,
but in an artistic arrangement Of OBJ
jects and lines Of decoration, and in a
fine simplicity. The oricntals have
taught us how to put flower in vase
and how to leave uncovered spaces in
our rooms for the eye TO rest upon.
More than all, they have taught ms fine
shapes in furniture, and even given us
new pieces.
Attention Is also called in The Puri-
tan to the pleasing custom of the wom-

ans Town room," corner in the mod.
ern house which is her special domain.
An illustration is given showing one
such apartment, which was recently de-
signed for well known New York
woman. The story of Cinderella is the
motif of its decorations. The walls are
covered with painted tapestry telling
the old fairy tale, and all the furniture
suggests, in some quaint way, the de-
tails Of Cinderella's adventures. The
curtain poles are made after the pattern
of the godmother's wand, and in the
folds Of the net curtains can be seen a
cupid holding the magic slipper.
The idea is particularly pretty one
and can be carried out in greater or less
completeness by any one possessed Of
the talent for decoration, which appears
to be woman's birthright in these
days, whether she has full purse OF
not. The Cinderella room is only sin.

SEPARATED BY A SHAVE.

Old Man Wheeler's Home is a Home No More Since He Cut Off His Whiskers.
 Old man Wheeler's whiskers were the joy and satisfaction of Mrs. Wheeler s life. They were long and luxuriant and fell down upon his breast in wavy pillows. MT. Wheeler took an almost Populistic pride in these whiskers and this pride was shared by his wife. To caress or to pull, the whiskers were equally welll adapted. Little did the aged Mir. Wheeler suspect how strong a bond of union between himself and his better half were those whiskers until last night
 In an evil moment he had them shaved off and last night went to his home minus the beautiful growth 4 quarrel ensued and to-day the old man told his melancholy story in the police court. The whiskers in question had adorned Wheeler's face for many days and his wife thought that the shave had spoiled his appearance. His mouth curves up slightly, which was not dis cernible when his face was covered with the heavy growth of beard. This angered Mrs Wheeler.
 There was a disturbance. He says she raved and quarreled, and actually called him bad names, alarming the neighborhood The narrowing scene was ultimately interrupted by the ap- pearance of Policeman Willie. The old man insisted that case be made

the hem. You would hardly believe what change in effect is made. Well might she have afforded what she did for that glorious commencement day, because that one dress will almost get her through the summer, if like a wise girl she sticks pretty closely to white for her wardrobe.
 White cashmere dresses for outing, yachting and kindred uses are plentiful, but for dressy uses gray Is a more fashionable color. It was from gray cashmere that the gown pictured here was made, cream lace insertion trim ming its skirt in encircling zigzags, and being headed by frayed-edge gray rib bon. Similar trimming was put on the front of the bodice, lace furnished the yoke and appeared in the slashes near the shoulders, where the material was embroidered with coral and jet beads and double frills of lace capped the tight sleeves.
 Now that country clubs are every bit as many and as swagger as yachting clubs, the inland girl is being able to sport private signals and emblems with the sailor-lad girl The country clut damsel wears a stunning white sweater with the private signal of her clut sprawled over the chest of it, and feels quite as proud as the girl with a pair of crossed flags on the front of he1

 try dress from being "yachty." FLORETTE.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
 ANIMALS.

Perhaps the last instance of a pro- secution of animals is one extracted by M. Agnel. from the 'Nova Floresta" of Manoel Bernardes. The Franciscan friars of the monastery of St. Antony in the Brazilian province of Piedade no Maranhao were much molested by ants, vast multitude of which devoured their furniture, and rendered the very mon- astery insecure by their innings. All attempts to get rid of them were vain, till a worthy brother. moved, as we may believe, by divine inspiration, :" advised that they should resort to that spirit of humility which made their seraphic founder call all creatures his brethren, brother wolf" sister swal- low" etc. Let them bring an action against their sisters the ants before the tribunal of Divine Providence, repre- sented by the bishop.
 This was done accordingly, an ad- vocate being appointed to represent the ants. The prosecuting counsel declared that his clients, in conformity with the rules of their order, lived on aims, which they collected with great difficult ty, and that the ants fanimaIs whose spirit is totally contrary to the Gospel, and who were therefore abhorred by St. Francis) did nothing but steal from them, and, worse than ordinary thieves, were even trying to ruin and destroy their home. He asked that they should be required to justify these doings. and failing in this, that pestilence and inun- dations should be invoked to extermi- nate them. The ants advocate replied that since God had given them life
