TIP TO THE CLEVER.
An ingenious woman has evolved a
pretty lamp from an old-fashioned sill
yer caster. The cruet stand was I'M
screwed from the base and the frame
for the bottles taken out. II was
then easy to fit a glass oil receiver
in it. With a shade, chimney and
burner got at lamp store, the pref
test of boudoir lamps was evolved.
These old LISTERS have often been
turned ,nru fern dishes or flower
holder. Some of them are of a
shape to make pretty nut dishes, if
the centre rod is removed.
OLD KID GLOVES.
A piece of old kid makes the best
and strongest loop to sew on winter
coats and wraps to hang them up by.
Use an old kid glove, cutting a mar
row strip in the best part of the
leather. Roll into this piece of
coarse string, sew together neatly
and attach it to the garment with
strong thread.

FAURE FOR CLEANLINESS
He upsets Provincial France With
His Demands for Bathtubs

! President Felix Faure devotes
special and unceasing attention to
cleanliness. He is doing more to
spread the use of the bathtub in
France than any other Frenchman OF
these or former times. A Paris
correspondent says that whenever the
| President goes for week or ten days
there must be bath-house with all
modern improvements He refuses
/ to stop even over night in a house or
hotel that has no bathroom. His hobby
for the bathroom is not a universal
institution in France as ia this coun-
try. In fact, the provincial French
towns are as barren of private bath,
tubs as most prairie villages in this
country. Nevertheless the President
holds fast to the bathtub as a condi
ton precedent to his visit to any town
or castle.
In the Presidential palace in Paris
and in the castle at Fontainebleau, M.
! Faure had elaborate bathrooms fitted
with the latest appliances and lux
uries In the castle at Ramboillet last
year JH6 IIeSlueHL cduSeu lVV,UOV
francs to be spent for bathrooms
which he might use during his three
or four weeks residence there.
The Presidents passion for cleanli-
ness has been a source of much vexa-
ton and industry at all the provincial
procedures which he has visited since
succeeding NJ. Carnot. Usually on
his excursions through the land he
lodges at these procedures, and as
none of them was provided with bath
rooms when he began MS tours, there
has been a great bustling about to
make good the deficiencies. A large
bath-house was built last year at the
prefecture in Revnes, preparatory to
his brief sojourn there, and similar
house was erected at the prefecture in
Valence this year in anticipation of
his visit. The vigor with which the
President is leading this movement
for bath reform is said to have
brought him many converts and to
have given the neglected bathtub in
dustry a great boom in the republic.

HER PICTURE ON SALE.
Embarrassing Discovery Made by a
New Orleans Society Beauty.

/ Though in England and some other
European countries it is common
enough for society beauties TO permit
and even encourage the sale of their
photographs, American leaders of
fashion generally frown on such pub
licity and take all means of avoiding
it. This objection to a public display
of female charms is particularly
strong in the south, one of whose
daughters has just had an experience
which she does not care to duplicate.
| The lady in question is Mrs. Edward
Bright of New Orleans, who was one
of the Mardi Gras queens of beauty
at the last carnival in the crescent
! city. She is one OF the most beauti-
full women in all the southern coun-
J try, and as Miss Ella Mehle, before
her marriage, she was for two seasons
the unrivaled belle of the most exclu-
siye society of proud old New Orleans.
Mrs. Bright is one of the rulers Of
that brilliant society which embraces
the aristocracy of the south and
claims New Orleans as its capital AS
one of the queens of the carnival Mrs.
Bright was photographed, as were all
the other ladies of Rexs gay court,
and a New York magazine published
her picture in a series of articles de-
picturing types of American beauty.
The photographs from which the
| illustrations were made were taken by
a leading photographer of New
Orleans. Either through his careless
| ness or through the ingenuity Of
some other photographer, two mega
| tiyes representing Mrs. Bright some
how got astray, and in the early sum-
mer the pictures Of the New Orleans
society leader were scattered all over
the country, doing duty as part OF an
advertisement AS soon as the fair
) original learned Of this state of affairs
! she took instant steps to end the sale.
i A detective was employed with in
structions to buy up all the copies he
could find. In the course of his
search he came across 6600 in little
store on Park row, New York, the lot
having been bought for So. The owner
on learning that the detective wanted
the entire number, demanded and
promptly received s33 for the pic
lures BY that time the detective had
concluded that no more were on the
market and his search has been given
up.

SCISSORS HOLDER .

Who has not longed for some per-
tectly secure way to fasten the scis-
sors, SO that they would not be for
ever getting lost. For If there is one
necessary article never on hand when
wanted 1t is the scissors. Ribbons
nave been tried but they have been
found untidy, easily soiled, and con-
tinually getting in the way. A very
nne idea for this purpose is here
illustrated, First procure forty-two
brass rings, the regulation size used
'or making tides, ETC., and crochet
around them with some pretty color
of crochet silk until the ring is COM
pletely covered, After they have all
been treated in this way, join them

as shown in the cut. Then take
piece of gold military braid the length
and width required to go through the
rings; draw it through fastening it
at the end Of the long strip, making
the two smaller ones separate. To
secure the two rings of the scissors
so as to allow perfect freedom when
using it, it is necessary to attach
two catches, such as are used on
watch guards to the end of the two
small pieces. This handy article is
not only secure and useful but gives
a dainty appearance to the work table
as well.

center decoration let there be an
ample round or circle of white duck,
stitched very smoothly on the white
surface. To hide we'll the outside edge
that has been stitched, work a fiowery
design of flags in pure white. All
embroidery of this kind should be
perfectly done, its success lying in
the carefulness and precision of the
entire plan. The back Of the pillow
is simply of blue cotton material
used for the main scheme.
COLOR IN ROOMS.

therefore a room fitted up in yellow

BRAID IN EVIDENCE.
Many Of the new fabrics have had
horizontal rows of braiding inter
