key are supplied, and shelves are placed
inside, the edges Of each shelf having
its quota of hooks for cups. The interior
is finished with dark stain. These cup
boards are very popular with Dutch
housewives, who, while proud of their
dishes, are compelled to economic on
space. The hanging cupboards are best
fixed to the wall by a carpenter, for when
filled with china they are so heavy as to
be a severe strain upon the supports.
Corner cupboards may be made with
cabinets in the drawers of which silver
odds and ends of china and anything OF
the sort may be stored. They are simple
and look very nice when pretty handles
are put on the drawers. Any woman
who is accomplished in making burnt
wood designs may construct very hand
some shelves or cupboards. Large flow
ers applied in conventionalized patterns
make the most suitable decorations.
The space over the mantel, usually so
difficult to decorate, may be very effec-
lively adorned with plates, platters and
plaques The long platters in blue and
white are the easiest to match and most
difficult to identify as spurious unless
closely examined by the eye of an ex-
pert. Therefore they are most useful.

course enlarged to fill the center of the
plate, and an appropriate border is sup

to the china and painted in suitable col

kiln, where it passes through the process
of baking, to give the picture perma-

was a gorgeous creature whose husband
recently patented something which made
him immensely wealthy. Consequently,
the pair came to France, as so many
new-rich Americans do, hoping to enter
New York society via the Partisan back

Some one took up the new-rich lady's
husband-a young sprig of Paris society

as.,his lineage. A woman in q tactful
way might tone down the chief plumbers

hint to madame that her toilets stand
much in the way Of her social advance

lady clad in the most absurd Mistakes
as, for instance, on that afternoon at q
very informal tea wearing a wretch6d
arrangement Of cheap imitation lace
about her bodice which was pinned with
numerous costly diamond ornaments
There was no striking gorgeousness in
her toilet, and there never is anything
worse than concentrated incongruity
Doubtless she does not give enough
thought to the subject of dress, or she
would not go on wearing fabrics which
were seasonable half a dozen years ago.
