MUNICIPAL ART.
Beauty Should Not Be Overlooked In
Public improvements.


The architectural League of New York
lately devoted an important meeting
to the discussion of the planning of
cities. and the National Sculptors' soci-
ETY. has in like manner treated the en-
bellishmcnt of public places. with in
tCrCsting suggestions for the bcautifi-
cation of rectangular street intcrSCC-
lions. 1t is to the voluntary activity
Df the most prominent members of this
latter society that we owe the creation
Of the Dewey arch and colonnadc,
most important achievement in munic-
ipal art. In fact, most of the dcCOra-
tons of the Dewey festival in New
York were examples of municipal art
in the highest sense, the public moneys
being turned over to the artists.
New YOrk'S latest and greatest
achievement in municipal art is the
new appellate court building. In this
building the estimates of the arChi-
tcct. James Brown Lord. originally
made n large appropriation-abOu
$215,OO0-for sculptural and pictorial
ndornments. The exterior Is built in
the classic style and Is richly decorated
with groups and statues by French,
Karl Bitter and other prominent sculp-
tors. The main hall and the court
room have wainscoting and plastcrs Of
golden Sicna marble, and the walls are
covered with representations of Law.
Justice and similar subjects.
Such achievements should be shining
examples to our Municipal Art league
md to the city of Chicago, says George
Krichn in Chicago Record. The eX-
pcricnce of New York, however,
teaches us what to avoid as well as
what to initiate. We can see that the
most effective activity does not con-
sist in spending large sums of money
to erect great works of art, but in agi-
tation, in holding competitions, in
pointing the way. 1t is also evident
that the greatest works of public art
must be paid for by the city govern,
mcnt. Municipal art societies should
therefore keep in closest touch with all
public improvements and see that the
ideal of beauty is never forgotten. Our
artists too. might profit from the eX-
ample of their brethren In erecting the
bcNcA dIcH' Even HOW tlie SlultdTy
canal commission Is anxious to have
the Municipal Art league appoint an
architect to cooperate with the en-
ginccrs in making the new bridges
beautiful as well as useful. Soon IA
new city hall will be built, and per-
haps a building for the board of edu-
cation. Then will be our chance to
come forward with plans and sugges-

Discouraged the Write Up Man.

The Independence QaJ Bulletin has
struck out on an original line, best de-
scribed by the word that serves it's
town for name. What The Bulletin
has been doing is to discourage the
proposition of travelling write up man
to ''do" Independence, though it in
volvcd handsome profit for the pub
Usher. In his paper the latter says:
1--WE have come to the conclusion that
such schemes are fakes that should not
be encouraged. We are satisfied that
such advertising is of no value to the
business man who uses 1t, and have
therefore decided to have nothing
whatever to do with him."

MAYONNAlSE DRESSING.

How to Make This necessary Com
poncnt OF TIE Salad.
The most important element i'll the
dressing of salad is the oil. And re-
member there is no economy in spelling
your salad by using oil of poor quality.
Although Il dinner may be perfect in
every other detail, the poor quality of
the salad will lie the only part of it re-
mcmbcrcd or commented upon. 70
insure success in your undertaking you
must be sure that everything needed
is thoroughly chilled before beginning
the work-the oil, plate, eggs and even
the fork.
The uncertainty and much of the la
Dor are lcSScncd by using Il mayonnaiSc
mixer But soup Pete and silver or
wooden salad fork VII answer. Tn
less you intend making Il pint of dress
ing use but one egg. Separate the yolk
very carefully from the white, drop
the Nolk into the soup plate and stir
rapidly with the fork until the yolk is
broken ana well mixed.
Now add the oil drop by drop at first,
being careful to stir always in the same
direction. If your plate and the oil are
perfectly cold. the mixture will soon
begin to thickcn. Now add few drops
of tara gon vinegar or lemon juice;
then add more oil, and as the emulsion
becomes thick you can add the oil fast
err, in n slow, steady stream. Always
stirring, not beating, continue to add
the acid. Il little at a time and just
enough to keep the dressing from sep
arating. Continue in this manner I'M
til you have used half Il pint of oil.
Season with salt and cayenne and give
n good, vigorous stirring. When fin
ishcd, the mayonnaise should be like
thick. smooth jelly. 4 perfect dressing
must not be too acid. as that destroys
the delicate flavor of the olive oil.

If an advertising agent wants to ad-

Small pieces of soap that accumulate
in the soap dish may be used in either
one of two ways. Some housekeepers
make what they call soap bags. put

little bags made of old toweling. The

the bits is to shave them up and put
them into twice their measure of boil

turned into molds and, when dry,
