The queen OF England's dinner hour
is 9 O'Clock. but royal dinners are serv-
ed with commcndable rapidity, so IN
spite Of the lateness Of the hour the
banquet is over by 10. Her majesty
precedes her family and guests into the
dining room and again heads the pro-
cessiou on leaving the room. This by
the way. is the arrangement in all royal
households Even when the Duke and
Duchess Of Fife give "a dinner iu their

Duchess Of Fife goes into dinner alone

FURNISHING
A BEDROOM.

In these days Of luxury the furnish
ing OF bedrooms requires a certain
amount Of close attention. for fashion
changes in this line as in all others.
and to keep everything uniform
throughout the house the bedroom
needs its furnishings in the latest style.
Bedsteads are much decorated and in
many instances display very skilled
Workmanship. The most beautiful and
expensive kinds Of wood are used and
are made into beds with seemingly no
limit To the variety Of shapes and style
OF decoration
Old mahogany beds, which FOR time
We're net SO popular. have again their
place Of prominence and. with repolish-
ing. look as well as the new ones. The
new beds Of mahogany are made on
nearly the same graceful lines as those
/ OF years ago. They are an expensive
luxury, but when used in a room with
the furniture 70 match they certainly
are the handsomest.
The coverings for these beds must OF
| course be in keeping Rich lace over
silk or satin and the finest Of linen with
hand embroidery are used.
White bedstesds with gold trimmings
and painted designs and beds OF light
colored woods are very beautiful in
their decorations. Many appear in the
Louis XVI. Marie Antoinette and Pom
padour styles. but We have seen very
pretty wooden beds painted white and
| blue or any color wished that smart
young women have decorated them
selves to suit their own fancy.
Enameled bedsteads with brass trim
mings and brass bedsteads are also very
popular. They always look neat and
can easily be kept clean. Another fea-
| ture in their favor is that they can be
SO daintily trimmed. The spreads for
them are of silk. satin. lace. linen or
muslin in as elaborate or as simple a
design as you please.
Linen bedspreads with a deep border
OF drawn work and drawn center make
very attractive covers when placed over
bright colored foundation. With this
Kind OF spread large. square pillows
are preferred. with pillow slips OF the
same design as the spread. Muslin is
perhaps the least expensive material in
bed furnishing and one that gives
very satisfactory effect Fine dotted
muslin over a bright colored silk. with
a deep ruffie for the valance and dain-
tily draped curtains for the canopy top.
makes a neat and pretty bed for any
young persons room. The draping Of
the curtains gives. TO a great extent.
the smart appearance to the bed. These
curtains can be hung from a curved
square or shield shaped top. The curved
and shield shape allow of prettier ar
rangement
1t is quite the fashion to have sleep
ing rooms hung and upholstered with
tapestry or any one Of the many mate
rails used for upholstery purposes. Den
i'm is often employed. and. when II is.
the bed covering, canopy and valance
are OF the same material, with white
cotton embroidery in outline. Heavy
linens in various tints and japanese
cottons in soft, harmonizing blues and
greens are in great demand Tor this
purpose.

dren. Loads of sand are bought and
dumped in the corners for the children
to dig in. Here they build houses with
as much zest as though they were upon
the seashore. Baseball tennis and ath-
letic games of all sorts are played by
the boys. and in the neighborhOods
where the police have previously been
annoyed by the unruliness Of the young
sters only glowing praise is heard Of
the transformation wrought in the
neighborhood by the Fairgrounds.
The George Junior Republic movement
has its hosts Of friends, who every year
collect thousands Of dollars for the good
work, while countless other organiza-
tions along the same line every year are
doing good work
The contributions to these charities
come largely from women. They are
managed mostly by women. who under
stand and sympathize best with the
needs Of childhood on the subscription

an is not fOrgetful OF the less fortunate

The lace furore increases day by day,
and we have lace stockings, lace frocks,
lace wraps, lace hats, lace parasols and
even lace mits, to say nothing of the
Spanish mantilla and broad scarf, which
would fain be regarded as a wrap.
Many of the old time laces are again
popular, chantilIy being especially mod
ish. Boas of lace and chiffon are made
by using three-quarters of yard of
chiffon shell plating, to which are fas-
tened two lace ties, fashioninS one end
into a rosette where they join the chiffon
ruche and letting the other fall free.
They may also be constructed entirely
of mousseline Or chiffon. In this event
IL yards of chiffon are required for the
tie ends. the width being split in two.

- Y JUNE the more serious problems
~ of dress for the summer have
been solved, and women turn
their attention to the smaller accesso-
ries which triumph during the month of
roses. OF neckwear there is an endless
variety-something suitable for every
body and everybody's gown. Among
the dainty things are tulle bows, both
in white and colors. These are some
times fastened to stocks dTaped in
tuIle, or they may be worn with velvet
or silk ones in contrasting hues. Silk
stocks with a mousseline plating on
the upper edge and double ends of the
same falling in front are among the
prettiest Of the seasons output. Lace
scarfs are mounted on a stiff lining to
form a stock and are crossed at back to
be tied at front in a sailor knot. Fancy
squares of silk, caught up in the center
by a buckle, form a pretty neck piece
Among the serViceable kind are those Of
taffeta with a butterfly bow hemstitch-
