the kettle or saucepan set on this. Small

vel is how they manage to accomplish

The family washing is simple affair.
The kimonos are as a rule ripped apart,
the long breadths washed in cold water,
stretched on boards, which are set up in
the sun, to dry. Kimonos are made of IS
inch wide goods woven for the purpose.
They are sewed together with coarse
darning cotton and long basting stitches,
SO that ripping garment to pieces and
putting it together again is not the la.
Dor it would seem. Most of the native
cottons have rough surface, so that
when dry they really need no ironing,
particularly if they have been properly
stretched and fastened to the boards.

Training Of Children

Do not coddle your children, for it is
a great mistake, and one that is bound
to result in great delicacy and discom-
fort. Boys are often made delicate by
oyercareful mothers. Girls are still
more frequently protected from every
blast that blows as though 1t would kill
them instead Of helping to make them
strong and healthy. To mothers OF
young children / would say, send your
children out in all weathers but heavy
rain, unless they are weak in the chest,
then remember that an east wind will
do your child no good. A great evil In
training girls is that they are not taught
TO use their muscles They should do so
i'm moderation, and there will be little
fear of strained backs or any other
mischief

A New Game.

With the long winter evenings and
the entertainments and parties which
they bring comes the old question,
"Isn't there something new that we can
play?"
1t is always difficult to find anything
altogether fresh and original, and some
of the older games, a triie worked over
and freshened up, will be found quite
as interesting as anything else.
For instance, there are E;any word
games, but not one Of them isqu-te like
the little funmaker known as the word
rhapsody"
In playing this game each OF the
guests is called upon to choose one word.
This word is written upon little card
furnished by the hostess. 1t may be an
adjective, a verb, a common or proper
noun or any other word that may sug-
gest itself. The cards are then gathered
up, and the hostess writes all the words
OH large piece of white paper with
blue pencil, so that when hung up 1t
can be seen all over the room.
Then each guest is invited to write
short story in which every one OF the
words appears, all Of them being used
dramatically and in a manner 10 make
sense. The time of work should be linn
tied to ten minutes. When the stories
are complete, the authors are invited to
read them aloud, or the hostess collects
and reads them herself. The results are
often very amusing. The rhapsody also
makes O good school exercise.

drapery, and there is no end to the de-
signs in which they are applied. There
are full vest fronts with big bowknots
at the neck made of fine black net over
laid with white and black chantilly
and all the design picked out with fine
iridescent spangles. Some lovely flower
designs are wrought by different colored
beads and spangles ON the net. These
aluminium spangles are so light that
they may be applied as lavishly as one
likes, even 20 chiffon. There are buttons
for spring that are almost as bright as
Jewels. Some are enameled, and some
look like fine Turkish filigree, and 9th
ers are Of steel. They are quite large.

MASHDAY.

.,ooo ~ food is of far more account In
,ha orient than hours of what we are
nleasod to call precious time. Conse-
ppnantlv the economy of that portion OF
tbe earths globe differs very materially
from ours.
Fpel and certain food supplies have
,oen scarce and dear at times. and the
Isranese cook has learned that these
Commodities must be made to go as far

and labor, which have up to the present
been the cheapest things in the island
empire
OF furniture such as Europeans use
the Japanese have no need. They lay
their feet under their bodies and make
a chair Of their heels. They place
thinly wadded circular cushion about
three feet in diameter on the white mat
ted floor and by dexterous movement
Of the feet they squat plumply IN the
middle of it. These cushions are covered
with cotton grasscloth or silk, accord
ing to the wealth of the family.
The Japanese sleep on heavy wadded
comforts called futons. These are laid
on the floor of the coolest room in sum-
mer and the warmest in winter. They
use no sheets simply covering them
selves with more futons as the weather
grows colder. In the depth of winter
they put on over their other clothing a
huge kimono, thickly wadded, having
velvet collar and cuffs.
Mosquitoes are so troublesome in sum-
mer that all must sleep under net. In
the homes Of the poorer class there often
is but one, which is hung from the four
corners Of the room. Under this the
whole family sleep, and sometimes the
servants as well. In the morning they
literally obey the injunction to take up
their beds and walk. The futons are
folded and laid away in, one Of the many
closets behind the sliding screens
The pillow Of the orient is oddly

rest. That of Japan is an oblong wood

How to DaintiIy and Inexpensively Fur
nish n bedroom.
Many charming new designs in wall
papers, curtains and carpets, as we'll as
many novel ideas in decoration, have
been brought out this season to aid the
housewife in making her home bright
and attractive. The new wall papers
are especially artistic, both in coloring
and design. Probably the prettiest is
the flower series for bedrooms, showing
roses. violets, daisies, chrysanthemums,
cornfiowers, poppies and fruit blooms
in conventional and realistic treatment.
For drapery there are chintzes and cre-
tonnes matching the papers. They cost
but little more than silkoline and are
more satisfactory, as they do not get
stringy or hold the dust as thin, loose
meshed fabrics. Then, too, they can be
kept fresh and crisp, as they launder
perfectly.

of them had black silk skirt with large
velvet figures upon it and noisy purple
velvet Cossack Russian blouse reaching
to the knees. This was trimmed with
pointed beaver in shawl collar and
cuffs. The next one wore gown OF
ruby velvet hanging in heavy folds from
a raised draping at the left side, which
revealed a ruffled underskirt of taffeta
silk notified in red, yellow, blue and
green. There was short Russian blouse
Of green velvet with gray fur collar, re-
yers and muff. The next one had skirt
Of astonishingly brilliant plaid, where
scarlet, blue, garnet, green and yellow
besides black stripes fought for ascend
ency. The prevailing color was red
The waist was cobalt blue velvet
blouse, with green velvet epaulets, stock
and revers collar. This opened to
show a vest of the same plaid gathered
very full and, like the skirt, on the
| bias. The sight of so much splendor
| made the passers draw aside and look at
it, and yet we see just such colors and
combinations everywhere, but seeing
them singly is not likely to cause such
| q sensation.
Just at present fur and braiding
| are the most popular Of all trimmings
for all heavy garments, but in less than
| short time fringe will be seen every
where. Fringe is very graceful gar
| niture for any garment, but it is so apt
to catch things one does not wish as adj
ditions to ones toilet. One lady went
out walking with splendid velvet cape
on with fringe around it. At the back
there dangled baby's tin rattle box.
The new fringes are made Of beads and
spangles, and also of deep, heavy knot
ted silk. One style is full IA inches d ,eI
and is intended to be sewed straight
around the skirt like flounce. BlacE
fringe will be used on gowns of any col

The door was taken off the closet ana

floor was too Old to look we'll stained 1t
was covered entirely with deep yellow
mating. Then the room was ready for
the finishing touches.
The decorative effects are principally
obtained by the judicious use OF color,
the clear yellow and green making the
room bright and cheerful with sense
of space. The few pieces OF bric-a-b rac
possess the merit Of being interesting by
virtue Of their good color and form. "A
narrow three panel mirror hangs over
the mantelshelf, which is adorned with
bits of glittering green pottery and
pair of brass candlesticks. The fireplace
is tiled and has an open CRATE, and be-
fore it the settles, well cushioned, are
placed. On bracket over the closet
bookcase a ginger jar Of goldenrod and
cattails. q blue fan and brass platter
are effectively grouped. A bunch OF
chestnut burs, two small plaster masks
and a chianti bottle Of peacock feathers
break the straight lines of the closest
frame. The toilet china is sprinkied
with punches of yellow daisies tied with
green ribbons, and the same design or
naments the trays on the dressing table.
