rooms which are to be very fully and

mirrors, bric-a-brac, and furnishings,

dull shade of blue in art denim for couch

for this I am sure you can find a cotton.
Upholster your stuffed chairs also in the

would use the green of stem or leaf of
the rose, in jute or velours. For Access

light stands, holding glass bowls of pink
roses. and lamp shade of pink roses.
Having done this much for harmony,
you can Introduce anything else into the
room that you care to use there; you will

hall, which opens into it, would use the
cold green of the rose stem, making it a
little stronger than the jute curtain. Up
holster your hall seat in green corduroy.
You could have these walls plainly kali

than paper, and would lead beautifully
into the parlors. Your dining-room could
also be kalsomined, and as it is not

which goes best with oak. My impress

to SO curtain as to have the effect of being

t1ly You could use your lace curtains at
the side windows and run your strip or
narrow shelf from the tops of these win
dow castings clear across the central one.
Your valance of thicker material than
the lace would cover the difference in the
varying heights. Then let the same stuff
sweep down the sides on the very outside
edge of your lace curtains. In this way
you can make the whole thing look much
wider and you will have an ideal cottage
window. You could hang a sash curtain on
your central window if you wished to.
Instead Of letting these curtains sweep
to the floor, why do you not have pref
ty little window seat under the whole
thing and just let your curtains come to
that?
II you feel that the wall space on either
side of your central window must be COW

lace curtains will not do it, hang two
strips of your lowered stuff here too.
These strips must be slightly fulled, as
we'll as the lace, as all must hang full

would be pretty here, but there are many
cottons which would produce just as good
an effect. If you use silk you will like 1t

Heinrich has been lined and wined at the
palace by the king and at the Grand hotel
by resident Germans-the king has visited
the squadron and taken lunch with the
prince. All the commanders of the Ger
man ships and several officers of inferior
rank have received the decoration Of the
Norwegian order of St. Olaf. The Off
GERS have been invited to dinners, prom
enade concerts and representations at the
National theater, the non commissioned
officers have been invited to a :'biera-
bend' at the principal restaurants of the
town.
The browning event was a gala repre-
sentation of Bjornson's great historical
play, "Sigurd the Crusader at the Ma
tional theater, to which all the officers of
the German fleet were invited. The king,
Prince Charles, Princess FryebOrg, the
royal suite, army and navy officers, high
officials and. the upper tendon of the cap
ital generally were present, the men In
gala uniforms bedecked with decorations,
Christiania has never seen such galaxy
of splendor. Everything went off splen-
didly. The enthusiasm of the Germans
was something tremendous. And all the
while; the streets here swarmed with
thousands of German sailors on shore
leave, all we'll behaved and extremely good
natured. They have given the police no
trouble at all. The Germans had their
own naval police on shore; If man be-
came hilarious and boisterous he was i'm
mediately hustled on board.
Thousands of people visited the German
ships and were received with the utmost
kindness and cordiality and shown all
over the ships. The good-natured tour-
tesy of the German navy officers and men
contrasts very favorably with the stiff
ness and military rigor usually displayed
by men of wars officers, notably So, I
think on American ships. The visit of the
German ships has been an extremely
pleasant affair all around. When \ the
ships left last Thursday Prince Heinrich
issued an address to the people of Chris
tiania thanking them in the strongest
terms for the royal welcome his officers
and men had met with in the Norwegian
capital. ~"

1t Is a Warning to Russia.

Now when our German friends have left
us some people ask the question: Why
did the Emperor William send such a ire
mendous fleet up here in the dead of win
ter-such an array of naval power as has
never been witnessed in our waters? Is
it simply intended as compliment to
King Oscar and to the Norwegian people
in whose beautiful country the emperor
has spent so many pleasant summer days
OR is it possibly intended as demonstra-
ton of the close relations existing be-
tween Germany and Scandinavia with a
possible reference to our neighbors In the
east?
William is not in the habit Of doing
things without purpose. Russia Is get
ting unpleasantly near the Scandinavian
peninsular. Finland is a buffer no more.
The Finnish army has been dissolved.
Russian troops stand on the border OF
Sweden. Russian strateg1cal railways are
under construction to the boundary line
Russian forts are to be erected at the enc
of the line, Russian warships have been
maneuvering unpleasantly near the SWed-
ish coasts, taking soundings and even
landing parties in places where they seem
to have not business. Experiments have
been made with transports of large bodies
of troops in the Baltic, Russian military
men in disguise have been studying the
of Sweden and Norway for the
last year or two.
It is possible that William may want to
give the car gentle hint that he in
tends to take hand if trouble should
come? The Russian press has taken
suspiciously strong interest in the
troubles between Sweden and Norway uni
for1nly siding with Norway. Holy Russia,
of course, always takes side of the weak
against the strong, always sympathizes
with the cause Of liberty and progress
they are the allies Of republican France
and would like amazingly to be the allies
of radical Norway. .. ~ =.

respects to King Oscar at his Norwegian
capital. The emperor has always taken
remarkable interest in Norway. He
spends every summer on his yacht in, Nor
wegian waters. He is the only reigning
sovereign who has officially visited the
King Of Norway at his Norwegian capital,
on which occasion, a few years ago, he
was received with tremendous enthusi-
aSm, and now he FASTENED to send a large
and powerful fleet, under command of his
brother, Prince Heinrich, to bear greet
ings to the Norwegian king and people.
The season Of the year is not a propiti-
GUS one for naval visits. At this time of
the year the days are extremely short in
this latitude and the fog lies thick and
heavy on the ford, hides the beauty Of the
surrounding hills and renders navigation
difficult and dangerous. But in spite Of
the fog the German vessels under the
guidance of picked corps of Norwegian
pilots found their way up the ford and
approached the capital.
AS they drew hear, about noon on Dec.
Z, the fog lifted, the sun came out in all
it's wintry splendor and against the dis
appearing bank of fog doomed up column
of ten colossal warships, headed by the
captain Of the port on the steamship Polar
Bear, who had gone out to meet the fleet
and to conduct the ships to their anchor
age. AS the outer harbor light was passed
every ship fired a salute of twenty-one
guns, sharp flashes of light and one con-
t1nuous roll Of thunder, and then the
ships, one by one, swung into their ap-
pointed places and anchored in three lines,
while old Akershus fort and the Nor
Wegian battleship Tordenl1jold Numbered
forth their acknowledgment of the greet
ing. Thousands OF people lined the quays
and the ramparts of the fort, enjoying the
beautiful marine spectacle. Four of the
ships were battleships of about II, 900 tons
each, three more of about 10000 tons each,
one smaller battleship Of about 5000 tons.
one armored cruiser of nearly. 5000 tons
and one torpedo boat destroyer of about
1000 tons-the crews of the ships num-
bering nearly 5000 men.
The squadron spent five days in the
harbor and these days have been almost
one continuous round Of festivities. Prince
