chair, narrow hall table and
tabourette holding small palm are often
enough to furnish a narrow hall comfort
ably and richly. Flemish oak pieces made
IN square shapes and heavy in effect are
good in hall. A mellow toned tapestry,
something that melts readily into yellow,
would be the thing for the davenport in
your parlor; two or four mahogany chairs
With seats Of the same would complete the
set prettily. You know that you can
often pick up at secondhand shops chairs
in good shapes that are worth having
done over and upholstered to correspond
with some special scheme.
Unless am familiar with precisely the
limit Of your resources it is difficult for
me to advise floor coverings A few gen.
eral suggestions may, however, help you
and others.
First i would always choose oriental
rugs; next, soft and rich-toned Royal
Wilton; these often come in oriental pat
terms. What Is known as Wilton filling
makes a beautiful floor covering in plain
color, with a small Turkish rug or mat
laid here and there upon it. If you should
use this on your parlor you would find an
empire green most effective. The AK
minister carpets often come in small fig
ures and soft tones, and a Lowell velvet
rug is less expensive than an oriental and
is often very beautiful.

He is connected with several business
institutions and owns and operates four
shining stands, each employing from
eight to twelve bootblacks, in different
parts Of the city.
Mogy has led several strikes against
Chicago and st. Louis papers, and has
invariably won the battle for the small

"newsies" would congregate in the rear

some ideas helpful to me in Transforming
very dull interior into something more
artistic and cheerful. I enclose a rough
sketch of the lay Of the rooms, and, as
you will observe, there are not many win
dows to let in the sunlight, which to me Is
almost requisite to cheerfulness. To add
further to the difficulty of getting more
light, the houses are built very close to-

and studied how to accomplish the de-

IF you could give me some ideas as to

not possibly afford all of her cruel neces-
stiles. So, much of the beauty of the
artistic furnishing lies in the fact that
the feeling for rich, soft tones, glorious
masses of color, dainty bits of effect, may
be gratifed when the purse is too short
for sedate and handsome furnishing In
conventional lines.
To the artist soft toned l1iskhi1im con-
veys as pure njOyment when thrown over
plain wooden table as when it covers the
most elaborate work of the cabinet-maker,
and while he is most appreciative Of rich
carvings and fine old furniture, if he is
denied them he yet has a compromising
enjoyment in the exercise of his inge-
nuity in devising beautiful effects from
limited resources. Color he must have,
in clear, pure tones and deliciously soft

trail spaces for backgrounds, and he con-
tents himself with furniture which Is so
simple and plain as to be unObtrusive, in
order to gain some coveted effect of color

I was once impressed deeply with this
when l saw what man and a Wo1na II
had done with plain little room in the
Tar west. The house, built of thin boards,
was hardly more than shanty, yet these
two people, by their industry, artistic
taste and ingenuity, had succeeded in pro-
duclng an effect In the interior Of COM
fort, refinement and beauty. Their re-
sources were pitiably limited and their
materials of the crudest description, but
they had fashioned with their own hands
a room which would excite the instant
admiration of the most critical observer.

MONEY FOR THE STRIKERS.
A National Fund May Be Organized
to Help Anthracite Men.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July S.--A ma
tiOnal defense fund, to which all or
ganiZed labor and the public in general
will be asked to contribute, is the lat
est proposition advanced to help the
striking anthracite coal miners if they
need assistance in their struggle for
higher wages and a shorter working
day. Harry White, of New York, Sec
rotary of the National Garment Work.
erS' and member of the Cancellation
committee of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, had a long conference with
President Mitchell today, during which
the plan was approved by the miners
chief, and Mr.. White will at once be-
gin preparations to carry out the plan.
President Mitchell says it is under
stood that the miners will not accept
any aid until their own resources are
exhausted.
Mr.. White said: president Mitchell
will accept the cooperation and what
ever aid may be rendered by labor
organizations of the country and 9TH
ers, but with the understanding that
1T is to be only used when their own
funds become exhausted, which will
not be for some time.
public men will also undertake an
Independent movement and solicit sub
scriptions from those not connected
with labor organizations. This move
ment will be inaugurated in New York
city and the labor organizations and
sympathizers in all the principal cities
Of the country will be called upon to
appoint committees to carry on SINH
lar work. All friendly newspapers will
be asked to cooperate. The scheme,
in brief, contemplates the concentra-
ton of the energy and resources of
organized labor in behalf of the min
erS' cause, a result which has never
before been achieved. 1t involves the
raising of a given amount of money
each week with which provisions and
other necessaries of life will be pur-
chased. The plan has the approval of
President Samuel Gompers, and it
will be placed before the executive
council of the American Federation OF
Labor for it's Endorsement at it's ses-
sion which opens in San Francisco
