WALL DECORATIONS.
Latest wall Papers Show an Allow
Uatered Moire Ground.

Latest WnIi Papers Show an All-Over
Vatered Moire Ground.
The latest development in wall paper
shows neither flower. nor figure, nor
stripe, nor circle. 1t is simply an all
over watered or MORE ground, like a
piece of silk or satin MORE, and is
brought out in all satisfactory tints and
shades. Panels OF this MORE paper
used perpendcularly on calcimined
wall surface, the panels being defined
with a narrow gilt molding, afford an
effective treatment for drawing-room.
A sample lately seen was in leaf green
MORE paper, put on in up and down
panels three-quarters of yard wide on
q wall surface tinted in paler shade of
green. The gilt holdings that edged
the panels were chased and ornament
ed, and not even a very close observer
would have discovered that the moire
was paper and not silk.
Other new papers show the delicate
exactness and finely wrought figures
and flowers of the Louis XVI. brooches
and draperies, but most of the lately
set up papers have large, bold patterns,
either in scrolls or conventionalized de-
signs. A new treatment for these large
lowered papers is to have very deep
dado and frieze of narrow striped paper
of the two main colors of the pattern.
A room decorated in lavender paper, in
which feurs de lis on an ivory ground
formed the main coloring, had very
deep dado of lavender and cream striped
paper, marked by white molding and
a frieze of the same striped lavender
and white paper above. BY using dados
of either striped or plain colored cart
ridge paper the boldest patterns in
lowered or figured wall paper may be
employed successfully without detract-
ing from the size of the room.-Chicago

FILE FOR RECEIPTS.
An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man or Woman.

An Appropriate ana EASILY Muue UiAa
for Man or Woman.
A convenient and appropriate gift
for either man or woman can be made
very simply and will prove exceedingly
useful.
Twelve heavy envelopes, bound to-
eether and covered with suggestive
outside case, will make receptacle
for each months receipts, and file them
away in such order that they may be
referred to at a moments notice, dur
ing a whole year. The best and most
durable envelopes for this purpose are
the heavy brown paper ones, or those
linen lined, used often for legal docu-
ments.
These may be just tied together with
narrow ribbon, if one does not wish to
regularly bind them, but it is much
better to glue narrow strip OF linen
to each envelope and sew them all light
ly together, after which the cover
should be attached. The style of this
latter should depend upon the probable
preference of the one for whom the
gift is intended. a dainty embroidered
linen cover with ribbons to tie makes
a pretty finish for the nicely-appointed
desk of "milady" who perhaps has Dres-
den fittings.
In this case the cover might be en-
broidered in Dresden design and tied
with blue ribbons, or a heavy paper
can be painted in water color in the
same way. If this file is intended for
business mans desk, heavy brown
linen cover, or one of leather or chamois

Mistakes Made by Mothers.

How often we see mothers busily en-

in order that the girl may enjoy every
luxury and do nothing; indeed, many
hardly let their daughters soil their
hands, says a quiet observer. There
never was a greater blunder than to
substitute good looks for good quail

YOUR SILK UMBRELLA.
1t Can Be Easily Ruined by Careless
Treatment.

Treatment.
Many fine umbrella ds cut OF IN
youth through the carelessness OF it's
owner. Take, for example, good silk
watershed. If you will examine the
weave, usually twill, you will notice
that it is extremely sensitive.
Silk is moderately strong and elastic,
n long and patient sufferer, but when 1t
does begin to give out it gives out very
RAPIDLY. You will notice that it is not
bomb proof, neither is it hand proof.
Now, the more you put your hands on
the silk the worse it is for the umbrella.
Il is therefore a great mistake to catch
your closed umbrella around the silk
and go swinging along as if it were Il
club and could endure any amount of
rough usage.
The moisture of the hand Injuries the
silk far more than does the occasional
transforms. When carrying an UNI
brella, whether for protection or for
style, hold it by the handle. Another
point regarding the umbrella: When
closed do not hammer the walk with the
ferrule as you pace along. This spoils
the top of your umbrella and is not
good for the ribs.
Close-rolled umbrellas are now the
rage-have been for some time. The
modern silk umbrella is intended to be
graceful addition to mans style, as
well as his protector. The way to roll
an umbrella is simple, but the rule is
commonly ignored; hence the number
of those badly rolled.
To dry an umbrella, open it, secure
| the catch and rest it with the end on the
ground. To roll an umbrella shake out
the silk until no part of it is confined
between the ribs but all hangs free.
Then place the top of the handle in the
palm of the hand, with the fingers
| closed to form a circle. With the right
hand, palm down, grasp the tips of the
ribs; turn the umbrella from you with
the right hand. at the same time turn
ing the left hand toward you with
downward motion. Then hold the UNI
brella firmly with the left hand. while
with the right you take fresh grasp
at the same place as before and turn
until the left hand reaches the right;
then when the strap or ribbon is Sc
cured the umbrella will be perfectly
smooth. with every fold neat and snug
and the tips in an orderly circle near the
handle.-Chicago Tribune.

Twas only bright good morning"
That was called from over the way,
But it left it's cheerful memory
Through a long and weary day.
Twas only a gentle handclasp
That was given in sudden mood,
But it made all earth seem brighter
So that even work was good.

But all their hidden beauties
Were seen by an invalid there.

Duchenne's Curious study OF Facial

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The recent Inauguration in Paris of
monument to Duchenne of Boulogne, is
of interest to scientists all over the world.
Duchenne was proclaimed by Charcot as
the greatest promoter of modern neuro-
pathology. His treatise on 1.-The Physl-
ology of Movements was a revelation.

had also studied the reading of faces. and
Lebrun had written on the resemblance
between types of the human face and the
heads OF animals but Duchenne, by exeit-
ing the muscles of the face with electric
currents, founded the true science of fac.
ial expression.
He experimental on an Old and rather
dun, stupid pensioner, the skin of whose
face had no feeling, and could be travers-
ed by electric impulses without exciting
pain. This living mask Duchenne would
animate at will by stimulating the right
muscles without his subject knowing what
his face expressed. In this way he estab-
Hshed the law that in a general way the
contraction of a single muscle can pro-
duce a complete expression. that is to say,
each muscle has ITS part to play in the
mechanism of the physiognomy. For in
stance the frontal muscle Is the muscle
of attention; the s1perciliary muscle Is
the muscle of grief; the great zygomatic
muscle is that of laughter; the muscle Of
the upper lip is that Of weeping; the
