ARRANGEMENT OF FURNITURE.

Many people have a natural gift for
arranging rooms, and may be called
artists in the art, while others have no
idea at all, and their rooms, despite
costly or really beautiful articles of
furniture or ornament, are always prim
everything is so very badly placed.
A table in drawing room should
never be in the center of the apart
ment. Let it be pushed away, and the
chairs disposed of in such a manner
that it may be seen that they are in
tended to be sat upon. Chairs placed
against the wall or rammed into COR
ners is an ugly and inappropriate ar
rangement Have what the French
call little Establishments in tine room,
if it be large enough. For instance,
near small or large tables, have two or
three chairs or chair and a lounge,
enabling those visitors, should several
call at the same time, to talk comfort
ably, which is impossible if large
party have to sit in a circle and join in
general conversation.
A table upon which ornaments and
books radiate in a star-like shape iS
very ugly. Let the books and orna-
ments We placed in studied careless
ness, and avoid primness in every way.
1t is rather the rage in the present
day to decorate rooms with trif1es.
This is mistake, and often really
pretty ornaments are not seen to adj
vantage because of this. Allow suffi-
cient margin of space between your
may be properly seen.
A superabundance of Japanese fans,
common knickknacks, bits of pottery,
china animals, cheap frames, and gim-
cracks generally, should be avoided,
though on the ouner hand much that is
had nowadays very inexpensively. The
mistake is in the crowding of two many
of them together, and having gewgaws
which are really rubbish.
Do not have newspapers and maya
zines scattered all over the room. Let
the old ones be put by and the latest
be laid on table kept for that pur--
pose. Unused lamps should never
be kept in a drawing room, especially
when they diffuse an odor of kerosene.
They are out of place by daylight, and
should only be brought in lighted
VIXEN necessary. Candles should al
ways be begun, and even if not in con-
slant use should look as if they were.
Candles not begun have very sense
less appearance and look as if placed
for ornament, which as a matter of
fact, they can hardly claim to be.
All clocks should be kept going If
the clock will not do it's duty send it
to be repaired, and if it declines to go
after judicious treatment then put it
aside, for silent clock is depressing
object.
Brackets are very inexpensive, and
with a little taste can be made to look
very pretty. Ovals, shields, rounds,
or shamrock shaped pieces of wood
covered with velvet or plush are ex-
ce1lent backgrounds for china. They
are better undraped.
In fine, with books, natural flowers,
a work basket, pretty hangings, and
little care and taste expended in
general arrangement, the drawing
room may look charming, and be in
perfect taste, even though it is very
small indeed, and the intrinsic value
of its contents be trifiing

SONG OF THE SWIMMERS.

Oh, fair as love
In the blue above
The silvery sun-clouds bleach,
In the blue below
The white-caps' snow
Turns gold along the beach;
Bright ripples run
Against the sun
Before the soothing breeze,
And dear the tone
O. the summer moan
By the smiling summer seas!
If sweet the draught
From the well-springs Quaffed
To dry and thirsty throats,
Thrice cool and sweet
Are the waves that greet
The swimmer as he floats;
Though soft the mesh
Against the flesh
Of silken sash and sleeve,
Yet softer far
The garments are
That velvet waters weave:
For weary heads
On sleepless beds
A couch of ease they lie
No anodyne
Can match this wine
That sparkles to the sky;
At trick and trade.
Gold lost or made,
Who fingers in his sweat,
When sea and star
Call from afar
To live-and to forget?
The great gales blow,
The high and low
The seas their lilies wreathe,
The rollers lift
Their sheer spindrift
Where waters strive and seethe;
The lunging surge
The swimmers urge,
Compellers of the brine,
And stroke an stroke
Win through the smoke
O. the breakers battle line.
The city ways
Make weary days,
And weary brains they make,
And city roads
Hold heavy loads,
And heavy hearts they break;
But light as air
Our bodies there
At Oceans laughing lip,
When in the comb
Of bubbling foam
The merry swimmers dip.
Oh, fair as love
In the blue above
The silver sun-clouds bleach,
In the blue below
The white-caps' snow
Turns gold along the beach;
Bright ripples run
Against the sun
Before the soothing breeze,
And dear the tone
Of the summer moan
By the smiling summer seas!
