There's a Lad That I'm Thinking of

And does the weather-vane nervously turn
Or steadily stand rest.
Are the winds a-blowing the white-capped sea,
And the weather-vane restlessly turning? tell me-
For lad I'm thinking of. far the sea,
May be furline his sails and thinking Of me.
Tell me which way the tide is flowing
Whether from the land
And whether il washes bright shells ashore.
And buries them in the sand.
Is the tide flowing in from an angry sea,
And washing ashore bright shells? tell me.
For lad that I'm thinking of, far the sea,
May be furling his sails and thinking of me.
Tell me which way the clouds are going
Whether TO sea or the land
And whether they blacken the oceans breast
And shadow the golden sand.
Do the clouds lie low on the darkened sea,
And shadows envelop the sands? tell me.
For lad that I'm thinking of, far on the sea-
May be furling MS sails and thinking OF me.
Tell me which way the guHs are dying
Whether if low of If high
And whether they circle the open sea.
Or under the lee-shore ly.
Are the gulls flying out on the crest Of the sea.

1 would have the walls papered with
cartridge or ingram paper of a French
gray color, and you can use your discretion
about the woodwork, as almost any finish
looks well with the colors I have suggested.
Hang Copley prints of details from Abbeys
and Blasield's works, in black frames, on
your walls, and you will also find that
small painting in a gold frame will look
well hung there. A good piece of plaster in
relief. against the wall, over one Of your
book shelves. would give an added distinc-
ton to this refined and pretty little room.
If you have your shelves made of redwood
do not varnish them, but rub them down
with oil. If they are of pine paint them
black and they will make a rich and beau
tiful setting for your books
CONCERNING ORIENTAL RUGS.
There is in many places a mistaken idea
prevalent that the Turkish rug is a luxury
which is beyond the means of the ordinary
purchaser. Also, that to set the pace with
a Turkish rug means that one is to be led
into all sorts of extravagances, and that 1T
looks we'll only with the richest accessories.
Both of these ideas are mistaken ones and
1t would be greatly TO the advantage OF
many people TO discard them. First, as to
price: Brussels or Moquet rug or an
American Smyrna will often exceed in
price a rare, soft-toned everlasting and
always beautiful Oriental one. OF course,
there are rugs and rugs, even when genu-
inely Oriental. Sometimes. but rarely, they
are really ugly; but if one will, in selecting,
choose one i'm which her favOrte colors
predominant, if she will assure herself that
these cOlors are softened so that they tone
readily into one another land this tOning
is only accomplished by age) that. in other
words, there are no cOlOTs which are crude
and staring, she will be sure to buy a good
one, and will never regret the purchase.
Whether the weave be an Anatolian, with
in tone, or a Cashmere, with its heavy
fringe and it's Indian designs she will ex-
tract thrill of pleasure from it every
time her eye encounters it's soft beauty.
word as to the purchase of a Cashmere: 1
would advise the avoidance of those which
have a strong yellow in them. Many very
handsome pieces present a strong yellow
against dark background and running,
a border, into the fringe If this light
thread is white instead of yellow, and the
fringe is strong, pure white, you have a
much more valuable rug and which
will look welt wherever you place it.

people who have to suffer from it 1 have
set myself to make study of it, and L find
there is just one way to treat such floor
10 make it presentable. Your woodwork is
fortunately in the oiled yellow pine. L say
fortunately because such woodwork is ca
pable of golden lights. and these tones will
be necessary to your floor. Buy for the
center of the room a rug (either an ORR
entail one or an American imitation having
tones of shaded brown, orange and old
gold, mingled with blue. Sometimes very
good homemade Smyrnas come in these
shades, and you often find them in the ORR
entail Anatolians. When you lay these rich,
soft colors your blue drab' floor you
will find it suddenly beautiful; your paint is
just the background for the warm browns
and yellows, and the dull blues must be re-
produced in other places about the room.
Above your bookcase your walls should be
a tawny saffron color You can obtain a
very rich and finished effect also if you will
use a frieZe of dark blue tapestry paper,
and then have made for your central cleo
trio light a border in leather work This
should encircle the chandelier, coming
against the tan-cOlOred yelling, and should
be done in blue, silver and gold. 1t can be
designed and made to order to correspond
with the general effect of frieze. Any paper
hanger can apply it for you. Now for your
bay window. You complain that the win
dow runs up high that you could not
take away the inside shutters without CIV
ing a look of extreme barrenness and let
ting in too much light. AS this window is
allowed l can tell you of an arrangement
which will add much to the beauty of your
room. Remove the shutters entirely and
upper sash in all three of the windows and
replace it with rough glass in a clear green
color. In front of this and over the three
upper sashes place a lattice work Of inter-
woven bamboo. This should be stained
quite dark, and the light streaming through
the green glass broken by the delicate lat
tice will have a fascinating effect. A shelf
at the bottom of this top sash, that is, just
midway of the window holding pots of fern
and small palm, will add to the effect, and
the lower sash should be curtained with
green silk. Let the green of the glass and
the curtain be much the color of your ferns
and palms when the light shines through
them. If you will place a handsome palm
in the alcove near an easy chair you will
find the little green retreat great addition
TO your room.

worth 10 furnish an excuse. In other words,
that your piece OF bric-a-brac or furniture
is really of intrinsic value. so that you can
