PICTURE FRAMES.
How to Mount Pictures Economically
at Home.

Gilded bands or passe partout are in
variably in good taste for any picture
setting, but this season a series Of
charming novelties in frames have
been put forth. greatly to the gain in
house decoration. The matter OF prime
interest in thi regard is the archi-
tectural frame nat is not the gothic
pattern always so largely and discreet
ly used in picture upholstery, but the
models of Grecian II Egyptian ar
chitecture. These frames are oeautl-
fully carved in wood, gilded or stained
any color desired, n are chiefly used
to inclose ~enerayingS and photographs
of great paintings.
BY very natural selection, the Greek
frames AXE the first place. the picture
being set between two delicate huted
pilasters, whose Corinthian capitals
support the frames top, a straight
cornice and frieze prettily decorated
with carved beading, and an egg and
anchor pattern, while the bottom OF
the frame, on which h plaster bases
rest, is a simple wood moulding. In
such graceful frames, stained black or
treated to resemble light or dark oak,
photographs from the old masters and
from the decorations in Boston's or
Washington's famous libraries, are en-
cased. The frame-makerS, with equal
effect, use the Ionic, Doric and Tuscan
capitals on the ~pilaSters at the ends
of the frames; or, more gracefully still,
bring out the whole of the duted Greek
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-23

columns in full, to support a small
pediment top to the frame, and putting
the columns bases on the wooden step
for the frames bottom. Thus the
whole facade of a Greek temple is cut
out of wood, and the picture it frames
is set in a recess half an inch deep. The
result is something wonderfully unique
and decorative, especially when the
whole frame is gilded or cast in plas-
ter and polished with oil and burnt
lumber, TO exactly represent in tint the
color of those Greek temples left
standing.
Almost as alluring are the frames
on the same order, but representing the
facades of Egyptian temples. Here the
ends OF the frames are Egyptian col
umns. with lotus leaf tops. and the col
umns, cornice they support n the foot
of h frame, are all Drettily carved
with hieroglyphics. 1t is when gather
ing several narrow pictures or a trip
tyck under one frame hat these archi-
tectural designs show to especial ad-
vantage. These groups OF slender pill
lars are set at intervals where a divis-
ion between the pictures is necessary
Unless very elaborate, these architec-
tural frames are not expensive. though
the obligNg upholsterer of pictures says
there is a way for those who can only
afford to decorate their walls with I'M
mounted photographs and pretty enc
cut from the magazines, to frame their
art selections both securely and eco
nOmically. The way is to buy for an
unmounted photograph a plate of plain
glass exactly its size, lay on this the
picture, ard over the latter a piece of
heavy brown linen. of the sort used for
window shades. On this a be sewed
two little brass rings, through which to
u the wire for hanging. At the franz
ers can then be bought a strip of linen,
in n color desired, and pasted on one
side with the strongest glue. Strips of
this linen are used to bind together the
glass and cloth backing, and where it
OF erlaDs on the edges of the glass it
gives the effect of a simple dark frame.
At something like an outlay of % cents
apiece the most effective setting a be
given the simplest prints.
OF interest to persons who have costly
portraits and valuable works of art to
decorate for hanging are the novelties
in hammered brass frames. Out of thin
sheets of brass, frames on the FlOren-
tine pattern are wrought and hammer
ed in exquisite design. Most beautiful
round and oval portraits OF men or
women are now encased in wreaths of
gilded olive, or bay or laurel leaves, tied
at the top with huttering ribbons, INC
for a delicate water color or pastel pOr-
trait of a woman the appropriate frame,
provided the latter is wealthy and a
woman OF taste. is an oval frame of
brass, so cunningly wrought and deli
cately pierced and treated as to re-
semble a stiffened iuting of golden
lace.
Yet more costly and for very small
portraits are frames of silver, but in
this extravaganza of fashion in franz
ing, beautiful though it may be, the
work of the painter is belittled, and
artists themselves frown on the fancy.

AS GOOD AS NEW.

Way to Renovate Old Materials and
Fit Them For a Second Career.
How often an article is truly, as the
old Scotch put it, "almaist as guide Is
new" but it wants a little renovating
given by a deft-handed woman. These
ideas of f~reshening and renovation
come to one only with years of expert
ence, but when once learned, the know
how remains.
For instance: Some handsome jet
beaded passementerie could be used
again if not so dull in appearance. SO
the clever woman wipes it off with a
flannel rag dipped in equal parts of
water and alcohol. and then with a dry
cloth, and renews its youth.
If the white silk handkerchiefs, so
dearly beloved by conservative men, are
washed in warm soapsuds, rinsed and
dried at once in the shade, and then
ironed with a moderately warm iron,
having a soft muslin cloth between it
and the handkerchief, the latter will
not so SCOT take on the yellowness of
age.

need not be thrown away when soiled,
as they wash nicely in warm water and
can be dried, pinned up in a window.

winter plumage. In addition to these
not at all expensive ornaments for
such hats as have no business at the
theatre. and. indeed, are not worn
there, women are giving hourly more
and more attention to the dressing of
their pare heads.
Some gay girls catch all the shiny
