best, because when soiled it can be washed.
1t should be carefully adjusted and tackled
on all edges except the front, so it will not
roll up.
Among contrivances of a useful nature is
an ironing board, which, when not in use,
becomes a seat. 1t may have a large,
roomy drawer for the keeping of holders,
wax, etc.
Among new designs is the kitchen cabi-
net, or portable closet. full of pigeonholes
for spices, bins for flour and meat and
other ingredients used in cooking. In some
of these portable affairs there is a wooden
shelf which forms a table and closes when
not in use. These closets take up but lit
tie space and are movable anywhere.
For the keeping of meats milk, butter,
ice, etc, the tiled refrigerator surpasses
anything yet invented. Ii is lined with
pure white tiles, inside and out, and fitted
up with all the conveniences required.
Yet with all these new additions for excel
lent housekeeping there is still a homely
fascination in the old-fashioned farmhouse
kitchen. with its rag carpet, its dried
herbs hanging on the wall, its ancient clock
and looking glass, fits wooden or split-bot
tom rockers. The window shows a lace
curtain and a ginger jar filled with gar
den blossoms. 1t is a room which speaks
of coziness and comfort, and of the never
surpassed Old-fashioned cooking.

THE PERFECT KITCHEN
HAS THE MODERN CoNVENIENCEs IN
SMALL SPACE.
There Are Shelves and Closets Galore
and All Manner of Handy Com
trivances for Work.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star
Every woman who takes an interest in
domestic arrangements considers her kitch-
en- with as much care as her parlor.
Whether large or small, just as suitable
appointments are needed. If small and
with only one window it should be paint
ed in a very light tone. If the room is
large and airy, the woodwork may be a
little darker. The floor may be painted
with two or three coats and then allowed
to harden. Very desirable is a smooth
pine shellacked or well-fitted linoleum of
a durable color, which may be frequently
washed and wiped once in a while with
kerosene
In kitchen comforts there are some es-
sentials, such as ample closets, of which
there should be three. One for coarse
china and porcelain of a finer sort: an
other roomy place for tins, graniteware,
iron utensils and other conveniences; the
third for odds and ends of every day
use. The china closet may be made by
placing some three four narrow shelves
in the inside woodwork of closed door
This gives a decorative effect, the tints
OF the china acting as a bit of color for
this working room. Or wider shelves may
be placed over the stationary wash
tubs in the apartment kitchen, and then
dressed with white shelf paper, for large
platters, soup tureens and the like. The
upper shelves may have a curtain, hung
on rings to narrow wooden rod. This
same drapery may decorate the lower half
of the window with a linen shade above.
Among the comforts for the maid an
easy chair and looking glass are necessi-
ties. A small rack does excellent service
for holding cook books, newspapers, ETC.
and should be found in every kitchen.
In kitchen appointments nothing is more
wholesome than the porcelain sink made
in one piece. OF course, in every day
moderate homes it is seldom found but
for the perfect kitchen it should be there
If possible have a corner closet some
where 1t can be built by carpenter and
painted by some member of the family
Its drawers are for the holding of towels
ironing sheets, work aprons, etc. while the
shelves supply place for preserves
pickles and dainties for winter use
The perfect kitchen boasts of three ia
bles-a large, substantial one of pine with
out cover, which should be scrubbed every
day. The other two smaller one with
marble top for the making of bread and
pies, and one covered with white oilcloth
for preparing food, cleaning fowls and veg
etables, useful in the never-endng details
of good housekeeping. Every kitchen
should have a standing tray, where dishes
from each course are placed when taken
from the table, or desserts kept up to the
point of serving.
For dressing the closets narrow oilcloth
in black and white pinked on the edge is

A Rare Old Bedstead,

From the Poughkeepsie Eagle
The story was told a few days ago of a
young lady in Poughkeepsie who was the
owner of a beautiful piece of antique fur
niture, which cost her So and for which
she has been offered $500. The story is
true, the furniture being a handsomely
carved old-fashioned four-posted bedstead
of mahogany. 1t was the pride of the own
er, and though not a family heirloom, all
her friends had admired it, and she had no
thought of parting with it. However, when
eX-Mayor Hull appeared on the scene and
pleaded for a friend, who had discovered
that the bed had formerly been the resting
place of members of his family, and who
offered to duplicate the bed and pay $500
besides, the owner, it is said, at length re-
luctantly decided to part with it.
The second piece of good fortune concerns
former Peughkeepsie girl, Mrs. Brown,
Conn.,, and daughter of Mr.. John Barratt
of this city. In the consignment of Pan
American stamps sent to his Office were
about dozen 'twos with the locomotives
printed upside down. MIR. Brown is some
thing of a collector, and he recognized the
fact that he had something good. It is
said that he sold six of the stamps for SIS
each, and is holding the rest, the latest
price offered being $24. With the proceeds
he has rented cottage at Westbrook
Conn.,, and Mr.. Barratt is going dewn there
to visit for a week or SO.

endless variety of designs suitable for fash

signs in gowns Of this description have the
lining foundation of silk or sateen made
separate the color of which may be varied
from time to time. Bought skirts Of this
kind are, as a rule. somewhat fun round
the hem, so that the silk foundation will
have to be in seven breadths-that Is, a.
front, two side pieces each side and two
backs, and, whatever the length OF 'front.'
may be, the center of back seam must
measure five inches longer or if it is TO be
of cotton six widths will be sufficient. And
should the ready-made skirt be too short
narrow frills of lace or glace silk might ne
sewed on to the separate foundation.

From the independent.

We have spent 100 years in recklessly de-
in placarding the glories of nature with the
announcements of our enterprise. There is
no longer any question about the push and
go of the American people. The interests
interests of individuals. The reaction is
coming; but what Augean toll we have
before us. A few individuals are doing
much; corporations also doing some
thing, but the people have not gone beyond
the establishment of national parks and
reservations. Is it not time to insist with
emphasis that will be understood, and law
that can be enforced, that public property
shall be left as beautiful as nature made
it? Is utility the only possible aim of the
united people? Our highways stretch from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, in continuous
interlacings. They are public property;
but everywhere at present they are the
dumping grounds of private individuals
breeding places of noXiOus weeds. Fences
are pasted and placarded by patent medi-
cine vendors; and the bordering lands, as
blaze of advertising. One may travel 5000
miles across the continent, and rarely be
out of sight of a billboard. while many of
the states still permit the DETACHMENT of
rocks and trees. We have become so used
to being ordered to smoke Roscoe Conkling
cigars or give CaStoria to children,
that we forget the whole thing is an i'm
pertinence of the grossest sort. The po-
etry of life is TUNED into prosaic push, and
Gods landscapes compelled to repeat the
slang of trade.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 10, 1901.
Except that the graduated f1ounce is not
so much in evidence, the new skirts differ
little in line from those of the summer.
Effects are still clinging at the top and
sweeping and furbelowing at the bottom;
and in order to make these more than ever
pronounced, dressmakers are bringing forth
some singularly unlovely garments which
are intended to take the place of the petit
coat and time-horored chemise. These may
be modestly called divided skirts, if you
choose, but they are to be worn on either
leg, fastening with ribbon draw strings or
elastic, either above or below the knee,
something after the fashion of the old-time
pantalet bottoms The additional bulk the
long skirt gives to the hips is thus OBJ
waited, and when the outer jupe is lifted
no division is perceptible in this under
petticoat
But seen in process of the toilet these
leg skirts (what else can they be ealled?)
are funny, to say the least. What is worse,
they will afford little protection against
the blasts of winter
However, there is no great need to worry

1t seems that the straight fronted cor
set must go. The Medical Academy has
been making lengthy investigation of
its shortcomings and claims that the hard,
straigh front Injuries the internal organs
in some manner ineXplicable to the scien-
tific mind 1t is said that surgical opera
tions and examinations on bodies of those
who wore straight fronted stays have dis
closed the internal organism in shock
ingly unnatural condition Terrified by the
disclosure Frenchwomen are inclined to
repudiate the straight buSked corset and
adopt that of 1880, which has no steel in
front and is closed by lacings behind. An
outside corset or, as it is called, bodice,
for winter wear has been designed which
will mold the figure as far as the middle of
the body, the skirt coming under 1t and
having all it's fullnesS behind. Stiff mater
ials, such as gold and silver brocades, will
be utilized in making this novel waist,
which was originated by the famous Agnes
Sorel, favorite at the court of Charles VII.
Physicians of those days were just as vio-
lent in denouncing the Sorel waist as are
those of today in scoring the straight
WASTED corset.
The Boni de Castellanes are keeping pace
with the tendency to revive extinct fash

of the gamins of Paris, who never fail
to hail its appearance with a tribute of

wag who saw the white clad menials for
the first time at Beauville, where the De
Castellanes spent the summer. Going up
up to the position, the wag, with mock
formality, inquired if NJ. de Castellane had
sent his chef out for a drive The unfor-
tunate servant replied to this mock, polite
inquiry:

'Indeed!' replied the joker. You ere
certainly the most chic member of the

Some hint of what the winter coats will
be was obtained from neat garment Of
broadtail exhibited at of the shops.
Bands of stitched trimming gave the effect
of a triple garment to the coat, the idea
being further carried out by stitched bands
on the sleeves. The high turned-over col
lar, the wide pointed revers and a band
about the waist were all heavily stitched.
The coat was of three-quarterS length, fit
ted in the back and hanging loose in front.
A single jeweled button just below the re-
vers, which held the coat together at the
left, was to all appearance it's only security.

Ways of Trimming Coats.

Horizontal, graduated, stitched strap
pings form a favorte decoration, three or
five lines terminating at the left side of
the front with large pierced bone buttons

and single breasted, long and double

And a Russian blouse affair fastening only

Simple white muslin always sounds so
nice There is something cool and maiden
Iy about it. At the same time it is not
very economical wear When a white mus
lin has been worn a few times it gets dis
tinctly draggled unless it is mounted over
very thin silk, when it loses it's simplicity
and becomes what is known as a best
frock, which always seems to be sugges
tive of silk lining and is judged more by
the amount of trimming it bears than by
it's cut and style. No, 1t is a mistake to
think that white muSlins, belonging by
right to fair heroines, are ever really cheap.
You cannot economic in white muslin.
1t must be dainty, fresh and of beautiful
quality, and above all, simply made, 30 be
a success This cannot be achieved unless
you are prepared to eXpend enough for two
ordinary dresses So leave the white mus
lin to those who can afford it.

the aged recluse of Farnsborough has be-
come an object of Indifference. This latest

ribbon and sets off to advantage the tine

beauty. The silk is shaped over founda-
ton of fine black sateen insertions OF
black lace trim the sleeves and collar
bands deep frill of black lace falls over
the shoulders, the vest of tucked silk being
framed by the lace of the collar. Under
the frill the fronts of the bodice are laid
in plaits of four groups each. The sleeves
resemble bishop ones, having puffs at the
elbows and tucked and insertion trimmed
sections above and below the puffs. rhe

bands of ribbon velvet finished by neat
bows.
Grenadine and ChantiIly.
A gown of black grenadine trimmed with
insertions of chantilly lace and bands of
black velvet makes a handsome frock for

Medallions of jet are inserted at the head
of the three narrow ruffles on the skirt,
each ruffle being set off by a band of fine
ruching. The bodice, supplied with
bOlero, follows the skirt in design, medal
lions over it's surface being arranged in ar
tiStic combination with the ribbon velvet.
