With the growing appreciation for deco

interest to the fact that the MeXicans of
Old Mexico and our own southwest have
many beautiful things to offer us.
The serapes or blankets are fine in weave
and often of beautiful colorings and de-
sign. They too light in weight to be
used as the Navajo rugs are for floor COW
erings, but they make beautiful couch COW
ers, portieres and wall hangings.
The rebosa or picturesque long scarf,
which all women in the Spanish American

shoulders, lends itself admirably to decora-
tive purposes. 1t comes in all colors, though
the soft cadet blue affected by most of the
Mexican women is usually most effective
When the rebosas are made in silk the color
harmony is particularly fine. They are
usually finished ON the ends with deep
knotted fringe Their long, narrow shape
makes them specially suitable for piano dra-
peries and the like. d.

If an ordinary dining chair needs to be
made higher to accommodate a small child

equal to having rubber lifts and is a vast
improvement on using the dictionary. This
is simply to procure four of the glass insu-

and set the chairlegs into them.
Another pointer that,z like young Lochin-

The unfortunate posseSsor of a red nose
may be glad to know that certain cure is
promised if the following directions are
obeyed. Cut the meals down to three a
day, and take all foods and drinks cool. Do
not eat meat more than three times a week.
and then only the lean The foods which
chiefly give rise to the complaint are sweets,
fats and very rich ones. These must be
avoided, particularly the sweets. Tea and
coffee must be left entirely alone. Drink
cocoa, cool and only slightly sweetened,
milk and water or barley water at meals.
Take two hours open air exercise daily and
sleep with open windows, and cure will I'M

An excellent oyster sauce for fish is made
in this way: Stir together in a saucepan a
half cupful of butter and two table
spoonfuls of flour. When frothy, add one
pint of boiling water and stir constantly
until thickened. Add one-half dozen oys-
tiers cut in bits, and few drops of lemon,
let 1t just come to a boil and serve.
