Mirror for a Piano Back.

One of the hardest things in a room
to arrange artistically is the piano
now that fashion has degreed that it
shall be dragged away from the wall.
Many an otherwise perfect apartment
has been spoiled by the inartistic ar
rangement of the piano back. A great
aid in overcoming this is a mirror,
made the exact width of the piano, and
placed fiat against its back. On each
SIDE narrow curtains may be placed,
and the mirror used either as a re-
Hector or with painting on the frame
and glass. Palms may be prettily ar
ranged at the foot, to be repeated in
the glass surface, or a tiny seat placed
there, with cushions of quaint shape
and material.
With the mirror as a starting point
one may have endless varieties of dec

An Inexpensive DESIGN.

Creponette is without a rival for SUI

and wavy patterns at thing less
than 30 cents, and like IL. other very
up-to-date me- ter'-1c an seen in
all OF the delightful new hues.
The wavy patterns, however, are not
warranted to retain their crinkled
loneliness against the damaging in
huences of damp atmosphere and for
this reason the smooth effects afford a
wiser field for investment.
A very stylish toilet in smooth
1sh creponette is here shown. The
skirt is gored and trimmed over the
hips with curved pattern OF braided
goods put on SO that it seems to have
been woven in the goods. This trim
ming is also repeated at the foot Of the
skirt, and below it are rows of mar
row braid put on perfectly plain. The
bodice has short side fronts of the
braided trimming and a scalloped woke
of embroidery. This is outlined with
fancy braid sewed on in decorative
design. The neckband is of silk rib

Adieu to the Puff.

The bandeau style of wearing the
hair is coming in again, and a parting
or at least separation Of the hair in
the center Of the front threatens to

for deserving the pompadour is that
men do not like it. They like sleek,

like bangs, curly and rtngletty." But
the average man smiles benignly,
and when the happy medium between
the puff and the bandeau appears he
gazes in deep admiration. Mrs. Ken

men like it; so do Jane Hading and
Maude Adams and sweet Annie Rus
usually fine hair, heavy, long and
thick, and they also have good fore
heads; but the parting, with ripples
on either side and a big, soft knot
in the back, cannot be called a trying
style, as none Of these actresses, with
the exception of Nine. Jane Had
ing, is noted for her beauty.
The chignon, when worn now, is
placed on the top of the head in the
form of soft loops or fluffy curls. The
nape of the neck is left uncovered.
Combs are used more than ever, and
the broad shell ones are particularly
pretty. A new and becoming way of
dressing the hair is to have two ban
deaux descending rather low upon the |
forehead, with the hair turned up in |
wavy curls at the sides. The Golf |

Of the head the hair is rolled with |
two waved marteaux separated from
the front hair by a band of velvet or
satin, on which are fixed two gar

Children love

and almost necessary. Children love
TO have q place of their own where they
can hoard their hundred and one treas
ares, and many a wet morning can be
pleasantly passed in turning out and
rearranging them. Gas should never
be allowed in a nursery, as it vitiates
the atmosphere. A good lamp should
be used, instead, placed on a bracket
safely out of the way, so that there
is no danger of its being overturned.
There should be good, roomy sofa,
so that the little ones may lie down

the rocking one is not approved Of.
crawling rug is a capital thing for a
baby, and it can be decorated and en-
brcidered with all kinds of comic de-
signs and representations of animals,
birds, etc. A thermometer should
hang on the wall, and the temperature
be kept as near 60 degrees as possible.
If the nursery is obliged to be on the
attic floor, it is a good plan to have
the slate whitened with a mixture Of
lime and size. This will help to keep
the room cool in summer.

His glorious law of sympathy it labors to

The mighty, universal schemes of his

Love! If We can not learn to love your

How shall we grow in faith toward the

it is praise,

Its vast illimitable range of power and

The length, the breadth, the height, the
depth Of this which we call man,
God hath made this to worship him, as
nothing narrow can;
Universally of gifts upon one creature

And to the Benefactor's praise shall all
