removing the chandelier and introduc-
ing side lights. In a narrow parlor

in its plaster medallion, the arrange.
ment repeated perhaps in mirror over
the mantelpieee, adds very porceptibly
to the narrowness of the room. Take
it away, make the ceiling plain and
you have gained an effect of space that
cannot be realized till the experiment
is tried, Side lights are understood
now to be much more artistic in light
ing in any but very large and lofty
apartments, as well as more convenient.
A pair may be near the piano, another
over a corner seat or against book
case, and so on, to give the light where
specially needed.

EInHNcr Menn Holders.

The newest whim of the hostess who
dotcs on eNtravagant simplicity is TO
have her dinner table as plain and sim
pie as poSsible-a cloth of satin white
ness ferns instead of flowers. unshadod
candles instead of elaborate and petit
coated electric lights or lamps The
only bit of pretension is the menu
holders, which may serve as well for
Tho name cards. This bit of prettiness
is in the form of proclaim flower,
tinted in natural colorings. At one
place is put a buttcrcup, at another
a poppy at a third a pansy, etc. The
flowers make Il charming, decorative
garland around the snowy table.

EnameIed Baths.

Enameled baths are the trial Of the
housewife who does not understand
how they should be made to retain
their pristine freshness. Vigorous
scrubbng of them is not desirable, but
a simple way of cleaning them is this:
First wipe out the tub with dry cloth;
then thoroughly rub ii with cloth
dipped in salt and turpentine, than
which nothing is better for removing
stains. After the tub has been gently
secured in this manner rinse with clear
warm water, dry with fresh cloth,
and the tub will look like new.

 By the time the season closes Hayes will be i'll good ripe condition to take q rest from the injuries he has re ceiyed i'll the game.
