They will ask for the appointment of
a committee from the legislature to go
to Madison, Wis, and work for the bill
now being considered there and for
the formal Endorsement by the legisla-

customer to a visit to Chicago. She
came, she saw, and I am told, she was
conquered. The next day all the Chi
nese furniture was moved out of the
salesroom, the quaint decorations left
the walls, and Art Noveau designs
were moved in for another prospec-
tive customer. And so on, from day to
day, these four salesrooms are being
fitted and refitted on the merest chance
of making a sale, at an expense of $50
to 500 daily for each room
When a contract has been secured,
the decorator takes possession of the
residence. He considers himself no
ordinary man of business, but n artist
and a genius. AS rule, also, he exer-
cises all the liberties of genius. Thus,
as the story goes, one of Chicago's dec
orators was sent recently to a South
side home. AS he entered he fell fat
upon his back.
''Goodness, are you injured?" cried
the lady of the house.
"No, madam" was the calm reply,
'merely looking for inspiration-lo
ing for inspiration"
And the decorator, lying serenely on
his back, got the reverse of a bird s eye
view of the room, with the results, it is
said, that he secured some new ceiling
effects for beautiful dining-room.
On the largest contracts the dec
orator sends to all parts of the globe
for his furnishings. Quite frequently
in the last few years-but in the last
few years only-fresco painters have
been brought over from Europe for
special work. Tapestries are imported
from France, and have heard of sew
eral cases Of buyers being sent on spe-
cial trips to Turkey for rugs, and to
France, Belgium and Switzerland for
lace curtains to fill the orders of only
q few customers.
In fact, there are three men connect
ed with Chicago's department stores
who cross the Atlantic several times
every year to buy goods which cannot
be obtained through the regular i'm
porting channels. One of these is .
rug buyer, who visits Constantinople.
The other two are upholstery buyers.
They 60 not only to the European tex
tile, mills, but visit many .hamlets in
out Of the way places. There the peas
ants make some OF: the most exquisite
fabrics of the world, and are glad to
sell them for Q few sous. Antique
goods are also picked up BY the Amer
lean buyers on each trip, bought for al
NEST nothing, and sold in America for
. fortune. For instance, Z piece OF
mural tapestry with . DOZEN urmors
holes in It and the edgessadly tori, was
sold thin month for @7,SoD. I suspect
that tho Chicago buyer zsve shout 10

the Encouragement of the White
of $4,000.
These are but two instances of
enormous sums lavished on home
decorations. In Europe, for genera
tions past, it has been considered
matter of course among wealthy
families to employ highly skilled art
lists for the arrangements of private
residences. In this country it is only
within the last ten years that rich
men have begun to devote these
princely sums to any private luxury
outside of the dresses and diamonds
of their wives. Today every big up
holstery department in Chicago has
three or four expert decorators who
draw salaries of from $4,000 to $1,000,
possibly $4,000, year, while score
or more of special interior decorat-
ing firms make a business not simp-
ly of selling furniture, rugs and wall
paper, but of advising the wives of
the very rich how to spend the larg-
est possible sum. Twenty to $4,000
contract to supply only the mural
decorations, the rugs, curtains and
furniture of private residence.
Every season there are new furn-
ishings-entirely different styles
come into vogue, and perhaps thou
saids of dollars worth of furniture is
put aside or sold for trif1e, while
mural paintings by great artists are
torn down or scraped off the walls,
to make room for some still more ex-
pensive luxury. AS an instance may
be cited the white house, which is
completely rearranged every time

Or the case of Chicago brewer who
had his house furnished, painted and

some $4,000. Several thousand dol
lars had been spent in merely plan

N order to make room for $50 antique

Loves Seven Ages.

Loves Seven Ages.
When was fifteen years of age
And less and thought myself a man,
The girls loved with storm and stress
Had various names from Kate to Bess,
But every one, I must confess,
Had lived of life a generous span,
For so in youth my fancy ran.
When twenty years had passed me by,
loved a maiden debonair
Who counted three more years than I.
But would not give me sigh for sigh
She called me boy and drove me nigh
Distraction but I banished care
BY loving other maidens rare
When twenty-one had come and passed
My fancy dropped to twenty years;
For, though my heart still throbbed as
fast
At beauty's smile, that heart was cast
At youthful feet. for love. to last,
Dare have, I said, no timid fears
OF coming wrinkles-grooves for tears!
And now that have thirty seen
I choose them somewhat younger still:
never go above eighteen,
And often less. The fruit that's green
Will ripen soon enough; mean
To wait awhile, to wait until
The buds Of next year bloom and fill.
Indeed. experience seems to show
That as the years go on apace
Mans taste in girls doth younger grow,
Until at last he comes to know
At sixty-five. we'll say. or So
How vain to wait, 30 ends his race,
Still dreaming Of the youthful face.
