Run a slender brass rod across the top
Of the mirror, and from this suspend the
curtains. This gives quaint effect to
your chiffonier, and you can carry out
this little suggestion by placing tall
crystal candlestick with wax candle and

tain. But do not leave your dresser in
this state; give it dainty and finished

low ribbons in it, pin cushion, fashioned

Without them your pretty scheme is
wasted.

Two slender upright strips Of wood
tackled at the back and holding brass
rod in place support white muslin frill
which serves as splasher, and on this
place your white and yellow toilet set.
For a little book shelf in this tiny
apartment, whose keynote is economy,
get soap or candle box about two feet
long, paint it black, and place it against
the wall little more than five feet from
the floor; support it by two light iron
brackets screwed to the wall. You can
buy them for 10 cents apiece. Put the
bottom Of the box against the wall, the
side resting: on the brackets, to which it
is also screwed. Now fasten small rod
against the upper euge OF the DOA, IN
front, and hang silk curtain correspond
ing with those on your mirror, so that
they will fall on either side of the open
ing. If you wish to draw the curtain
you will find this convenient place for
medicine bottles, and there will yet be
room for the three or four books that
it is pleasant to have conveniently at
hand in a bedroom. On top of the box
you can place more books or photographs.

The best informed Cubans know that
the only hope for the future of their coun-
try, politically, commercially and in every
way, lies in maintaining close and friend
ly relations with the United States. A
member of the new congress said to me ::
II am a graduate of Pennsylvania college,
I lived for years. in the United States. I
feel as much at home there as do here.
I like the people there equally as well as
I do my own. I would fight for the Stars
and Stripes as readily as l did for the
flag Of Cuba. A majority Of the men who
will compose the new congress are like
me. We love the United States as well
as we do Cuba, for the reason that we are
as much a part of one as we are of the
other This man told the truth There
are many like him.
Wrong Impressions of Americans
There are thousands of others, however,
who are equally as well disposed but have
not had the. opportunity of living in the
states, and who have formed their esti-
mate Of Americans by some OF those they
have come In contact with on the island.
1 know of well-to-do merchant who met
couple Of well appearing young men
shortly after the occupation and asked
them to- call and see him. They did So.
They sported white vests and bamboo
walking sticks, and were evidently the
real thing, but when they left one Of
them took their hosts new hat and left
an old one in its place. This particular
Cuban gentleman formed an erroneous i'm
preston. Whenever he sees an American
he looks to see if his hat is safe.
A young lady belonging to one Of the
best families told me that she attended a
dance shortly after the army of inter
vention came, and among the young men
present were two fellows who seemed to

Next curtain your windows with French
cretonne, having an ivory white ground
and pale pink roses scattered thcikly
upon it; line the curtains with pink sat
cen in the same pale shade, and hang ruff
fled point d esprit curtains under them.
Tie all back together with pink cords and
tassels. Cover one large Morris chair
with the cretonne, also two smaller chairs
and q footstOol. Beside a white chif-
fonier would have dressing table
draped with white point d'esprit net over
pink sateen. Hang full curtains of the
net on either side of the large square
mirror, and put full ruffie as valance
across the top. AS a finishing touch to this
dressing table would set two tall crys-
tai candlesticks in front of the glass,
holding pink wax candles, and on these
have French candle shades, made either
of innumerab1e tiny pink roses or to rep
resent a single rose.
Let your slender crystal night lamp,
placed on white stand beside the bed,
have also a shade of pink roses You will
find this mingling of white and pink and
crystal very beautiful, and you will feel
repaid for keeping everything alien to this
scheme out Of the way.

hang full diaphanous curtains of the net

tiny white silk cords and tassels. These
curtains should fall to line with the
bottom of spread. Finish the edge Of the

ends, makes the proper finish for the bed.

more than So. Have the ceiling carried
out in the tint of the ground work of your
frieze; this may be a cream, just Oft OF
white, or it may be white.
So far you have room sweet, sunny
and airy looking in the extreme. I am
glad that you say you do not feel inclined
to buy from the furniture store cheap
wooden set. This would remove all pos
sible distinction from your little room.
The cheap, white iron bedsteads are
usually poorly painted blue white; you
can change this by giving it two coats of
your creamy yellow paint. This will look
we'll with the brass tips, and dainty,
carefully made spread of white dotted
muslin, with a deep frill all around it,
Of beauty. This frill, or valance, should
be quite full and have a hem an inch
wide. If you find it flares too much
while new, crease it in little pleats with
the fingers. A good quality of dotted
Swiss can be bought for from Is cents to
20 cents yard. There is a double width
also for the center of spreads. Hang full
white curtains of dotted muslin at your
windows, ruff1e the front edges with plain
Swiss, III inches wide. The very wide,
f1oppy looking ruffles that wer once so
fashionable are not used now; crisp look
ing little frills have taken their place.
Tie them back with white cords and tas-
sells.
Instead of cheap bureau I would buy
a chiffonier, which has so many more
drawers in 1t. Get one which is per-
fectly plain, but has brass handles of
good pattern; have this and your two
plain light wooden chairs rubbed down
with sandpaper and painted yellow, with
the same soft yellow as your walls, bed
stead, etc. Next get one OF the long,
narrow mirrors, which, hung sideways,
will just reach across the top of your
chiffonier; paint its wooden frame also
yellow, and hang little curtains of figured
yellow India silk on either side Of it.

gress will do the same. The best class
of Cubans are very enthusiastic over the
character of men who have been elected
to Office. The president is a wise and
good man, who has time and again proved
his friendship for Cuba. He owns thou
sands of acres of land along the Cauto
river in the western part Of Santiago
province, but none of his possessions have
been under cultivation during the last
thirty years. He is land poor. He has
been in charge of school at Central
Valley, New York, for the past ten years,
but has devoted the most of his time to
the interests Of Cuba. His devotion to
his country's welfare seems thoroughly
to have won the confidence of the people.
On account of his long residence in the
United States he is familiar with the
customs of both countries, and will be
better able to discharge the important
duties of his high office on this account.
The vice president will be Luis Es-
tevez, an attorney of Havana, and former
ly secretary of justice Of the island. His
wife, Marta Abreu, Is the philanthroplst
of Cuba. She has given many thousands
of dollars for the maintenance of schools
and hospitals throughout the island. Es-
tevez and his wife are both very wealthy,
their joint holdings probably amounting
to $5.0O0,O00, but they are held in the
highest esteem on account Of their liber-
ality and public spirit.
Best Classes Interested.
The first congress will be composed
principally of men of wealth. That is
why the outlook for the future is .consid-
cred hopeful by those in a position to
judge. Heretofore the best people would
have nothing to do with politics, and
things were always in~a bad way as a
consequence. Now that the people who
control the substantial interests of the
island are to take charge of It's affairs the
