Decorative Notes

Some very decorative screens have
been recently shown. The frames were
of weathered oak; a ten-inch panel at
the top of each fold enclosed a decora-
tive subject done in burnt-work and
oil colors. The lower part of the fold
below the panel was, i'm one screen,
filed in with deep, soft, purplish-red
burlaps; in the other with leather and
burlaps the leather i'm the original hide
shape laced by leather thongs to the
frame. A group of Rough Riders" ap-
peared i'm each panel of one screen,and
Dutch canal scenes in the other.
Very Inexpensive yet decorative cush-
ion covers are made by sewing two
bandanna handkerchiefs together and
trimming the four edges with a plain
frill of the leading color in the hand
kerchiefs. These bandannas come in
bright deep blues, reds and yellows and
cost but twelve and a half cents apiece
and wash and wear well.
a very decorative piece for hanging
from a small wrought-iron crane or
bracket is one of the 'beggar baskets"
from Damascus. They come i'm two
/
and engraved metal resembling Be
mares brass and the other in gay en-
amels. These baskets hang by chains
ana are boat-shaped.
Very decorative jardinieres of Rus
sian hammered brass are being shown
this season.
A charming piece of bric-a-brac is a
Russian hammered copper loving cup.
Such a cup would be fine wedding
gift.
Flower tubs for the porch or garden
should never be painted green-they
are i'm execrable taste. Buff with brown
hoops or Indian red with black hoops,
are allowable combinations for the
purpose, or either color alone. A gold
en- brown is also pleasant in effect for
garden-tubs and plant-boxes. None of
these colors. it win be found, jars with
the green of foliage or lawn.
