DECORATIVE SUGGESTIONS.
A Plaster Cast ImprOved-YeIIOw In
House Decoration.

A Plaster Cast ImprOved-YelIOv In
House Decoration.
The unattractive dull dead white Of
plaster casts in the form of statuettes,
many of which are exquisite replicas Of
classic works, causes them frequently
to be relegated to dark cupboards as un
suited to room ornament. Now, they
may be made to look like polished mar
lie by the simple process of brushing
them over with skimmilk, using cam
els hair pencil, the milk being applied
until the cast will absorb no more. An
other mode is to take about a quarter of
an ounce ayOirdupOis of the finest white
soap, CRATE it small and put it into
new glazed eartheu vessel with a pint
of water, holding it over fire until the
soap is dissolved and then adding the
same quantity Of white wax cut into
small pieces. AS soon as the whole is
incorporated it is fit for use The statu-
dipped into this varnish, and after a
quarter of an hour the operation is to be
repeated. Let it stand for a week.
Then rub it gently with piece Of mus
lin wrapped around the finger. Great
care is necessary, as the coating is thin.
A brilliant gloss will thus be produced,
says The Decorator and Furnisher,
which is the source of this and the fol-
lowing hints.
Pure golden yellow is prominent
color in house decoration; also reed
green, a pallid, grayish tint seen in wa
ter rushes. Rose pink and lobelia may
be said to rank next. AS to yellow, we
long since advocated its more generous
use for its inherent warmth and bright
ness, the vivacity it imparts to the at
mosphere of a room, its refining effect,
its suffering so little in juXtaposition
with tints that are theoretically har-
monious, ard generally its possession of
independent qualities that are not af
fected by externals and surroundings as
are the other pronounced tints.
Much more attention is being te-
slowed upon the hall than in byEono
years, when it was regarded as simply
an entry way to the stairs and other
rooms of the house Modern house
builders and homemakers are lavishing
the greatest attention upon this part Of
the domicile, making it as attractive as
possible A wood floor is par excellence
the thing. Next to it comes yellow
pine, unstained with a border Of alter
nate strips of pine and cherry, finished
with coach varnish. The woodwork
should be finished in the same manner.
Avery pretty wall decoration is called
the Louis XVI trophy of gardener S
tools. In polished wood and bright
metal there is miniature rake, spade
and sickle, tied together under hat Of
fancy straw, which is filled with flow.

That Hamburg steak is frequently
given up by housekeepers as unsatisfaC
tory after one or two trials is attributed
by a Country Gentleman correspondent
to mistakes in the cooking. Here is
what is said to be the proper way to
cook it: Put all that is to be cooked
into large plate and form it into one
fiat cake with knife, pressing it into
a compact cake as thick as the usual
slice of steak. Have ready hot "spi-
der" and gently slide the cake off the
plate upon the iron. When ready to
turn, loosen its under surface from the
iron with the knife blade, and holding
the plate in one hand and the "spider'
i'm the other, gently invert the cake
into the plate, when it can again be
slipped off on to the hot iron, with the
uncooked side down and with no break
ing apart whatever. In this way it can
be cooked and left red (but not raw all
through the interior in the same man
ner as with ordinary steak 1t is wise
to have the meat man run the Hamburg
steak through his machine twice. This
avoids any stringiness. Have him put
in little sage, summer savory or other
seasoning, if you like, and you will
have sausage flavor without the indi-
gestible qualities of sausage. If chill
dren are to eat meat, there is no better
form in which to serve it to them than
as Hamburg steak. Ordinary steak they
are not likely to masticate properly,

dence of the error of this view by bring
ing to notice some novelties which not
only serve as ornaments, but have be-
for which each is designed. Some of
them are illustrated and described as
follows, beginning with a shoe box:
Whenever one succeeds in making
something from nothing, she feels that
she has accomplished a great feat So
this article a all the more satisfactory
because an otherwise useless article is
thus put to service, for the foundation
is simply a dry goods box. The top of
the box must have a cushion, and this
may be covered with any material you
choose. There are the figured velvets if
economy is no object Bat the cretonnes
and chintzes are quite as artistic and
far more serviceable for us people who
need to count our pennies. The denims
with a satcen finish are pretty, too, and
now, having chosen your material, COW
er the cushion and three sides of the box
with it. Remove the front of the box
and fit a shelf in between the sides. In
the top Of this side put a small brass
rod for a curtain Of the material. When
this curtain is drawn, a row of shoes
may be seen inside. One side of the box
may be ornamented with the words,
Crest For the Weary" which may be
applied either to the shoes or their
wearer. A box of this kind would be a
great convenience, especially for a seat
when buttoning ones shoes.
Also pertaining to shoes are Figs. 4
and B. Perhaps you may smile and say,
"Oh, never sIipW But, my dear sis
ter, through many ages has come the
admonition, "Let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall, " so
even for you there may be danger Be-
fore beginning operations it might be
best to cut pattern by fitting piece
Of paper to the back of your walking
shoes, as shown at a. Then form heavy
black cloth cut the desired shape,
making the heel Of two thicknesses Of
felt. Line the upper portion with black
cloth Of a lighter weight and bind the
edges or simply finish them with stitch
ing. Sow the heel firmly in place, and
you are all ready for the ice, except
that short piece of elastic must be
sewed to the upper corners to hold it in
place over the ankle, as shown at b.

rying shoes when travelling. Every one

QUEER RELIGIOUS SECT.
Their Name Is "EveninE Light" and The!
Keep to Themselves.

Their Name Is Evening Light" and They
Keep to Themselves.
There is a sect known as the
Evening Light" scattered through
out Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. The
families are not isolated, but form
communities. No one is really lead
er, but in each community there al
ways is man who is looked up to.
Although nearly all are well to do,
no attempt at display is ever made.
Inc homes are in One-stOry houses,
built about a house where the sect
meet on Sundays. Where they have
no meeting house they meet in the
homes of the families, each in turn.
They have no ministers. Each mem
Der OF the sect says and does what
he considers best for the community.
When they meet at one of the homes,
the host always has ready a good
meal.
This sect wear peculiar clothing.
The women make all the mems
clothes. When the baby boys dress
es are taken from him, he is clothed
in the garb he is to wear for life.
They wear trousers reaching to the
ankles and boots to the knees. A
waistcoat end a hat complete the
outfit, except in cold weather, when
an overcoat is added Only heavy
brown or black material is used in
making the clothes OF the men.
The young women dress in either
black or bright blue and use no trim
mlngs. Their aprons are always
brown. Cashmere is the cloth used
for dresses. The bonnet is after the
sunbonnet style and has a skirt in
the rear Brown and black satin is
used to make them. To keep out the
cold of winter the women wear
black cashmere shawls.
There are no BARRIERS in the COM
munity The hair is allowed to
grow. These people never take part
III politics, never go to court and
don t have photographs taken. They
never insure their property, and if
one should lose his the others start
| him anew. The parents match the
children as soon as they are born,
and they are brought up in each 9TH
er's company and are made to I'M
derstand that they are to marry and
always live together after they
leave their homes. Children stay
with their parents until they marry.
The marriage ceremony consists of
the bridegroom putting a ring on
the brides finger and then both
drinking holy water. A big dinner
is served, and in the course of it the
young couple leave it and go to their
home, which they find all ready.
Where this sect originated is not
known. The men are very fond Of
horses. -New York Press.

To restore the finish to the woodwork
of furniture, according to professional
piano tuner, is simply to wash it thor
oughly with warm water, using soft
cloth. The dullness of highly polished
surfaces on furniture is due to dirt, and
rubbing in oils and polishes increases
the evil by collecting more dirt. A
small part of the surface should be
washed off at a time, doing it softly
and thoroughly. 1t should be given a
final rinsing with clear water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
