into pieces of wood should be fitted on
to the walls at the back and sides of

Now, all the other necessary furniture
will be the bed, which can be placed
against the wall opposite the fireplace;

John Ruskin,s Ghost Story.

Ruskin told me, says w. J. StillAa@ il
The Atlantic, of locality in the valley
of Chamounix, haunted by ghost which
could only be seen by children. 1t was
a figure of a woman who raked the C.
leaves, and when she looked up at thee
the children said they only saw a skull il

Kuskin sent to n neighboring valley for
a child who could know nothing of TIE
legend and went with him to the local.
which the ghost was reported to hau.
Arrived there, he said to the boy: "WE8t
a lonely place! There is nobody here b..
ourselves"
Yes. there is" said the child; ''there
is woman there raking leaves,
pointing in a certain direction.

so nearer, for the woman looked up. and

HOMEMADE FITMENTS.
They Solve the Problem of Comfort
able Living In "A Small Room.


able Living In a Small Room
1t seems part Of the awkwardness of
things that bedrooms should so often
be extremely small when bedroom fur
niture is OF necessity SO intentionally
large The ever growing tendency to-
ward occupying flats rather than
houses may have something to do with
this condition
The fact remains that the smallnesS
of bedrooms is a difficulty with which
the home decorator has frequently to
grapple. There is one solution to this
problem, however, in which the same
factor which solves so many knotty
questions plays the chief part e..
money. The wealthy, if they ever had
a small room to contend with, would
fly to a system of ''fitments," and ev
cry conceivable requirement in the way
of furniture would be carefully fitted
into the smallest possible compass.
But those sorely tried housewives who
have to work wonders on very small
means must overcome the difficulty
otherwise, and to make the best use
of all available space appears the wis
est recourse.
Recesses on either side the fireplace,
if such there be, are of greatest value,
and the cut shows how TO utilize them.
In the recess on the left there is
small chest of drawers. but as this is
not by any means decorative piece of
furniture it is concealed by a curtain.
Any carpenter can make two shelves
to fit into the recess at n convenient
height. In the middle there is bonnet
cupboard, and the space on either side
can be used for books or china. Just
in front of the lower shelf thin rod
is fixed, from which the curtains are
suspended. They pull on one side
when it is necessary to get to the chest
of drawers behind

nature and studied its ways as her first

renee says, Il was child of the plains,
running barefoot and spending many
hours on the backs of Indian ponies
with my fathers herd" Later, when
the girl felt the impulse TO write rising
strong in her, she began and made
word pictures of the things she knew
cowboys, Indians, never ending plains
and liberty. No wonder her stories
were accepted in eastern periodicals,
for she wrote of freedom and the
things she knew. She also laid up
such electric store of life in this glad

hotel at his place. 1t is to be a mod
ern building in all its appointments,
a strictly up to date structure, with
II foot ceilings and large airy rooms
furnished in the very best style. Such
a hotel building will be a great add
tion to hal part of the country. Mr..
Peryam has been compelled, ever
since the mining boom in that part of
the country, to open his house to trav-
elers and from the very first it has
been a favorite stopping place. 1t
has been renowned for its good table
and comfortable sleeping quarters
AMI in consequence the house has
been full all of the time. Mr.. Peryam
has also supplied travellers and tour
lists with teams and saddle ponies and
there has been demand for all he
could furnish in this line. We are
sure that his new hotel will be quite
as popular when it is completed as
his ranch house has been and that it
will be full of guests from the start.
