I'VE spent the night in Barbizon,

company OF our English friends for

the centre OF fifty square miles Of
Forest" writes a girl, from Paris, to
the Ladies' Home Journal. "It is
never wild, never mysterious, this
forest that thousands of artists have
loved to paint, but it is calm aud
grand, aud never tedious. For eight
hours we wandered over plains
covered with towering oaks, among
rocky gorges, out OF which slender,
graceful beeches rise, aud through
miles OF fragrant, giant pines. And
everywhere are feathory ferns and
purple heather. There is not the
slightest chance of losing ones way;
every square inch OF tho forest has
been mapped out, and at the interseo.
tion OF every two avenues a red hand
points to the town and blue hand
indicates the direction OF one OF the
sights. And Fontainebleau? We
saw only the palace, bewildering
maze Of magnificent rooms. Every

ways, wonderful tapestry, wonderful
inlaid furniture. The grandeur il

Room For "A Small Girl.

II your little daughter is about to
move from the nursery into room OF
her own here are few suggestions as
to its furniture:
Have dotted Swiss curtain at the
window, tied back with forget-me-not
blue ribbons. Let the little bedstead
be painted with white enamel and
draped with canopy of white Swiss,
through which blue silk lining
should show. The bureau, which
must correspond in size to the bed,
should also be white, and, if ones
bank account will allow it, decorated
in silver.
The latest washstand for child's
room is OF willow, painted in white,
with deep hollow in the center to
hold the dainty bowl and pitcher. In
this room all the appointments of the
washstand should be of white china,
strewn with forget-me-nots. In the
corner of the room have baby divau
covered with light blue chintz and
banked with white linen covered pi!.
lows, ornamented with blue silk
frill. A little willow rocking chair is
another requirement. 1t should be
painted in white and have the seat
cushioned in light blue plush. Cover
the walls with paper which looks
like q pompadour silk. II may be
cream white in color striped with lines
OF forget-me -nots. Have plenty OF
pictures on the walls, and carpet OF
blue felt on the floor, half covered by
rugs, and the small girl who owns this
apartment cannot fail to be happy. --

The craze for lamps Of every de.
scription has led to the utilization of
almost every old piece of silver or
pottery in ones possession. Even
water. coolers have been called into
play; but the extreme, ofbad taste has
been reached when the reservoir of the
lamp is shown resting on top of vase
intended for flowers, and fitting so
badly as to look as though careless
jolt would send the whole affair over.
A lamp is altogether a failure when it
does not suggest stability, and the in
genious housekeeper or decorator has
missed good point when, in strain
ing after novelty, all sense of fitness
Las been lost.
