TO REPLACE A s1DEBoARD.

touch of sunlight, was treated with 4
green paper in two tones in which the
pattern was so well mixed that il pre-
sented almost plain surface. The
woodwork was yellow pine, and this
suggested a combination of yellow and
green in the floor covering. For this 4
mixed brussels was used, with the
breadths sewed together like rug,
but without border, the short ends
finished with a wooIen fringe The
furniture was of oak--table, chairs and
sideboard. At the windows dotted
swiss in linen color was hung without
looping back as n screen from the vivid
light
A dining room that achieved its pret-
ty effect quite entirely from its color
combination had blue green burlap
on the wall as far up as the plate shelf.
Above was patterned paper in buff
and the same tone Of blue green. Ecru
net was hung at the windows and blue
green hangings at the doorways.
While the colors adopted in q dining
room are of great importance, the fur
niture demands fully as careful con-
sideration. Tables are made now in
simpler and better shapes than in fer
mer years, and the round size is easily
obtained. The polished top of the table
is often used without a cloth to econ
omiZe laundry work.
Oak chairs with cane seats are usual
ly chosen for cottage use, but q splint
chair made especially for piazzas has
lately been found serviceable and more
artistic 1t may be stained OF painted
to conform to the other furnishings Of
the room. Its light weight, too, makes
it desirable in summer homes, as it is
so easily transferred out of doors.
The sideboard shown in the illustra-
ton is an original design that was put
into the hands Of carpenter to carry
out. 1t affords opportunity for keeping
cups, saucers and other table equip
ment that is most in demand conven-
iently near at hand, making also dec
orative feature Of the room. The side
board may be stained any preferred
color to match the woodwork of the
dining room OF the rest of the furni-
ture. For a room with white or oak
woodwork it could be tinted dark green
with excellent effect.
Sometimes an unused doorway falls
to the lot Of the cottage dining room.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Paris Girls Luncheon.

The Paris factory girls restaurant is
a bench on the boulevard or in a public
square. She does not bring her lunch
from home in the morning, but buys a
little sausage or similar delicacy at one
shop or vender's wagon, a few cakes
at another and an apple or banana at
third on her way from the shop to
her favorite bench.
Ten minutes suffice for the frugal
meal, and the rest of the hour is passed
in chatting and promenading. Usually
she economies on her lunch and
spends n couple of sous for violets or
other flowers.
Now, all this is very pleasant in fine
weather, but the girls do the same
thing on rainy days and in the worst
storms of winter.
Why? Because they have to. The
French believe in regulating everything
by law. AT one time the girls were
compelled to eat their lunch in the es-
Establishments where they were employ
ed. This regulation being complained
of rs oppressive, it was decreed that
they should not lunch in the establish
ments.
Now some progressive people are sug-
gesting the propriety of letting the poor
creatures do as they please.

oxford ana American students.

oxford is far from being the most
progressive Of the worlds colleges. 1t
is the intellectual center OF all that is
undemocratic. 1t is the bulwark of the
monarchicaI system, the defender Of
the British aristocracy, the foe Of re-
ligious freedom. 1t is absurd to sup
pose that this ancient institution, with
its 5000 students, will be much affect
ed by the influx of a hundred callow
American boys On the contrary, the
stamp that oxford will put upon its
American students will, we sincerely
believe render them unit for a useful
career as citizens of the United States.

Nicaragua. If There 1. a canal.

~ u Ndhdls
The construction Of the transisth-
mian waterway through the productive
country of Nicaragua means to that
country an opening up of its latent re-
sources, immigration and improved
transportation facilities. The construc-
ton of the canal will draw thousands
Of foreigners to the country, both capi-
talists and labor, and it requires no
stretch of the imagination to see this
increasing population spreading over
the adjacent country both to the north
and to the south and settling on the
lands which can be had for the asking.
Where there are now only dense for
ests, silyery lakes, rushing mountain
streams and silent prairies with tall,
waving grass there will spring up
towns and villages, plantations and
farms, and a new geographical and
commercial center of the western hem
sphere.-Outlook.

'The true test" says an art critic,
"0f the successful room is the first i'm

remembered in selecting the colors for
the dining room, the style Of wood

according to The Designer, which finds
tmOng them the following suggestions:
One that has windows to the south
and west that bring in every available
