the color predominating is an Irish
green; at least, the heavily woven car
pet from the sister isle, which gives
the keynote of the color scheme, is
made by Irish labor, the silk panels and
window draperies taking up the same
color in a softer tone. The Kings sit

Prince Consort passed his last hours,

Prince Albert have been preserved

ly nervous and sensitive. and she
works from an Instructive earnestness
of character. It is well to persuade her
that the bright UNI Yum is also TO
be admired, for the studious little
maiden requires twice as much recrea-
ton as her lazy ompanions and the
teacher should see; to it that she gets
it!
IF managed PROPERLY and directed
wisely, the quiet, studious girl Will
grow up, very likely, into bright and
radiant character, ibrimful of humor
and gayety. The secret of the change
will lie in this: That the girl does
with all her heart whatever she turns
to. and as girlhood develops into wo-
manhood she will discover that 1t Is
worth while to laugh with ones whole
heart, as well as to work, and the
strong, nervous character will have
the energy to act upon the discovery.

CHAIR TRAP FOR CALLERS.
Used by an Official Who Had Little
Spare Time.

No man, in either public or private
life, can ask favor except in a modu-
lated tone of voice. This is the con-
clusion of Mr.. George Beavers, who is
the head of the division of salaries and
allowances at the Post Office Depart
ment 1t has resulted in the creation
Of what he terms his conversational
CHAIR" The chair in question stands
beside his mahogany desk. 1t is the
only one which offers itself to callers
when they are ushered into Mr.. Beav-
ers' Office.
1t was first tried on a Western Con-
gresham, who hustled into Mr.. Bea-
vers Office with an air of Importance
the other day. The Congressman sank
into the chair. He began to explain at
length postal conditions in his dis
trict to the listening official, and had
reached the stage in his representa-
tions when he wished to ask for in
creased clerical allowance for one of
the larger offices of the district. He
seized the arms of the chair and gavait
a vigorous "hunch' forward. The
chair failed to "hunch." In the in
teresting moment the Congressman
failed to notice the fact. He contin-
ued his representations, and in mo-
ment gave the chair another pull. This
time when it failed to bulge the Con-
gresham bethought himself that it
had caught in the pea-green carpet
which covers the office floor. He half
rose out Of the chair tried to lift it, and
then gave it full-arm tug forward.

TYPES OF SCHOOLGIRLS.
The Little Mother, the Unconscious
Beauty and the Studious One.

woman who has passed years as a
principal of large girls school. and
who has made a profound study of her
charges, said the other day:
When you see a cluster of school
girls do you think of the types they
represent? Now, one of the most in
teresting types is the little rno,..e-
Something of the maternal instinct is
irrepressible in this girls heart. sshe
makes favorites among the smallest of
her companions, and the distant home
is still incumbered with the old dolls
on which she lavished her great love
in nursery days. One has great faith in
the happy future of this simple, ten
der type of school girl.
And then there is another type" the
principal went on. ''There is the I'M
conscious school girl beauty, and she is
a veritable vision of delight. OF course,
there are schools where coquetry is
learned side by side with grammar,
and where the passions of grown-up
people begin to spoil the happy air OF
childhood. But that is a sad mistake.
1.-THE little beauty we admire has not
the slightest notion of her gift. This
little maiden is just at the meeting of
the brook and the river. Her fingers
are inky, but her face would pass for
one of Reynolds angels. Three or four
summers more and the pair of blue eyes
will find out their power. At present
She will thank you for an apple, and
when she smiles it would be 'profana-
ton to tell her of her lovlins.ss.

Miss Alice and some of her friends, older than Teddy, Jr., and his chum, danced in the other parlors Unfortunately the plain citizens were hurried through so rapidly they caught but a fleeting glimpse of the festivities in the smaller parlors.
 When the "card' guests had passed the line and the time for the multitude to be received approached Mrs. Roose- welt withdrew with the ladies of the re- ceiving party and devoted her attention to them. After the common citizens had been passing for some time the Pres- ident sent for her to take her place be- side him.

vate citizen. But events in connection with the New Years Day reception, when the most distinguished ladies of the city were invited to assist in receiving; when the line of visitors, headed by the repre- sentatives of all civilized governments, included the most prominent army and navy officers, the leading officials of the government, members of both Houses of Congress, representatives of all the mill itary patriotic, social and business or ganizations of Washington, to say noth- ing of 6000 plain citizens who had testified to their respect for the President by pa- tiently waiting for hours for an opportu- nity to grasp his hand-these events are fit subjects for comment.
 Skylarkng by the Roosevelt children cannot be regarded merely as an over flow of exurberant animal spirits when it is indulged in at public receptions. Con- sequently some of the ladies who were behind the receiving line on New Years Day are freely relating their experiences, saying that so much of their time was occupied by their efforts to keep the children from stumbling over the long trains of their best gowns they had lit- tie time to enjoy themselves. These stories make it appear as though the children had taken great delight in the apprehension which their antics caused the ladies who were constructively "as- sisting' their mother in receiving.
 Nor were the efforts of the children to amuse themselves and their child friends confined to the parlors where the receiv- ing party was stationed. In the East Room Theodore, Jr., and d friend of about his own age were observed strolling about in a lackadaisical manner with their heads on each others shoulders their arms twined about each others waists, and their attitude described as one of sickly sentimentality. While stroll ling about the room they made comments upon the guests which appeared highly diverting to the precocious youths. Pres idently Theodore. Jr., spied his uncle Douglas Robinson, leaning over some la- dies who were seated, endeavoring to entertain them. The opportunity was too good to be missed, and, according to an eye witness, Teddy, Jr." advanced, fair
