Many housekeepers supply their res
licences, whether in city or country,
with dark green shades for summer
use They are especially grateful to
draw in these mornings when the in
sistent sun proves an enemy to sleep
after a very early hour.
The proportions of dado, wall and
frieZe in halls. dining-rooms and libra
ries. where such are usually used, are
to be measured by the hight OF the
room An authority says the dado
should be about one-fourth TO one
third of the wall and one of the frleze.
This arrangement is always in style IL
the wall is of delicately tinted solld
color care should be taken that the
frieze is not too heavy, or the effect
will be topheavy. The frieze should be
lighter than the hanging, Whatever IL
is. and when the novice approaches the
ceiling decorations she should pause
and reflect seriously. Some papered
ceilings look as if the refuse OF a pa

Kaleidoscope fashion. Delicate tlnts
and indistinct traceries are all tnat

wise the room may have the appear

fashions III hangings. These chahse
almost as periodically as the fashlohs
in dress 1t is folly TO attempt to fol-
low them and poor taste besides.
When a room is decorated in the best
hangings may be kept SO long as they
are fresh and in good condition. II
they have been selected with due regard
TO the principles of artistic effect they
may easily rise superior to passing va
garies of style.
The efforts of the various relief or
ganizations that have been formed
among Women'S clubs are connned 10
the most practical methods. 1t is sig
nificant of the experience of the women
at organized work that they nave uh-
dertaken these measures in such
promptly efficient fashion. Cool-headeu
women. accustomed to committee work
have brought quick order out OF appar
ent chaos, in the embarrassment u
volunteer service, and prompt dis-
eliminating judgment has rapldly pro-
duced tangible results. The lmpTac-
tical woman who has occasionally pre-
sented herself has been quickly sup
pressed and the work in all its phases
has gone ahead with most commend
able dispatch and efficiency.

The Syracuse School of Domestic
Science, which has just sent out its sec
ond graduating class. continues 70 pe q
shining light among organizations OF
this sort. The experiments in this line
which have been tried in many cities
much larger than Syracuse, have in
most cases failed. The organization
in Central New York, however, has
struck the keynote of success and goes
on constantly to larger things. Classes
in three courses went out from the
school this year-a small one in dletetic
cookery. whose members We're recruit
ed from one OF the city hospitals. and
two much larger ones in mattresses
