PORTRAIT PILLOWS.
n New Fancy for Home Adornment
That Is Becoming Very
Popular.

Here is something new in pillows
portrait pillows they are called. The
face of a noted poet or statesman
looks up at one from a background
of one of his own quotations. We
may see Whittier and Burns, Kip
ling and Goethe in this array of good
folk who are willing to lend them
selves to our ease and enjoyment,
says the New York Herald. One is
bound to be soothed in resting upon
this happy thought of Stevenson:
1.-The world is so full Of a number OF
things,
] am sure we should all be as happy as
kings"
An excellent portrait of Stevenson
Is framed in this quotation, and in
the four corners are clusters of the
red Mulberry berries" as they are
called, of Samoa.
On the Roosevelt pillow is the
rugged countenance of the president
with his words:
"The only man who never makes
a mistake is the man who never
does anything"
Then there is the toast pillow, a
comfortable adjunct to the bachelors
den. Round and smiling, happy Pick
wickian gentlemen are brewing
steaming punches or offering one of
these merry toasts:
"a long life and happy one,
A true wife and a pretty one,
A cold bottle and another one"
"a glass Is good and lass is good,
And a pipe to smoke in cold weather.
The world is good, and the people are good,
And we are all good together"
Here's to the light that lies in woman's
eyes,
Ana lies and lies!! and lies!!!'
These pillows are artistically got
velours, however, seem better suited
to the use for which they are intend
ed. The designs are wrought in a
combination of coloring and pyro-
graphic work. This 'fire painting"
as it is called, upon velvet is a work
somewhat new. Hand painting upon
velvet has never been satisfactory.
The paint in time cracks and loses
its color, and the whole effect is in
artistic. A new method of applying
color to velvet has been most happy
in its results. BY chemical process
the dye is removed from the velvet
in the required designs, then the for
eign colors are applied.
This same fire painting" has been
seen this winter in elaborate orna-
mentations on portieres and heavy
draperies in velours. A popular de-
sign is a large Japanese lily, which,
with the graceful twistings of its
long stems, forms beautiful border
for such hangings. When this is
wrought in dull greens on a rich red
velvet the effect is charming. An
other style of decoration in this line
is an applique of leather upon velvet.
This is used for smaller table covers,
mats and even for sofa cushions. A
notable design which has been copied
for portiere and table cover decora-
tions is conventionalized poppy in
burnt leather, applied to the velour.
Strips of kid in contrasting colors
reach from poppy to poppy and are
finished with slashed ends.

One Minute Cough Cure gives relief
in one minute, because it kills the mi
crobe which tickles the mucous membrane,
causing the cough, and at the same time
clears the phlegm, draws out the inham-

parts. One Minute Cough Cure strength
ems the lungs, wards off pneumonia and is
harmless and never failing cure in all
durable cases of Coughs. Colds and Group.
One Minute Cough Cure is pleasant to
take harmless and good alike for young
and old. Eli 7. Reynolds.

STRANGE INFLUENCE OF DOORS
Peculiar Power of Perfumes Over
Many Women, Who Can En-
dure Only Certain Kinds.


The perfume of flowers exerts a
peculiar influence upon men and wom-
en-. Oftentimes this influence is
agreeable and altogether to the lik-
ing of the person concerned, but fire.
auently exactly the opposite is true,
and the odor of some one flower is
so offensive that it even produces
faintness.
Naturally women. whose love for
flowers is more noticeably developed
than that of men, are more suscep-
tible to the effects of these odors,
and their aversion to certain flower
perfumes is so marked that it is
oftentimes little short of an ailment,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Florists are familiar with this pc
culiarity of women, and while they
are inclined to attribute the inf1u-
ence of flower odors to imagination,
they cannot overlook the fact that
such condition really exists.
can example of this sort came
under my notice not long ago." said
a downtown florist. ga woman
came into my store to give an
i order for some flowers for a party.
She did not want violets, because
they did not light up well, and she
| spurned roses because she was tired
of them. She wanted lilies, because
her guest of honor bore that name,
| but the odor of the flower was re-
/ pulsive to her, and she hesitated
about ordering them on this account.
finally succeeded by a good deal of
; persuasion in getting her to take
them, and 1 afterwards learned that
she was compelled to leave the room
on the night of the party, because of
faintness brought on by the heavy
odor of the blossoms.
another example was young
woman who ordered a handsome cross
for friend of whose death she had
i just been notified. Hyacinths, white
flowers of that sort. and fine ferns
were used. Fortunately she ordered
i the flowers sent to her home for in
spection. When the floral piece was
! delivered it appeared that the man
had not died, but was recovering.
Consequently the flowers were
stripped from the frame, and as it
requires a great many to fill one of
these pieces, the collection filled to
overfowing every bowl in the house.
The odor of hyacinths was every
where. Since then the young woman
has refused to buy white flowers for
any consideration. She says they
sicken her with funereal suggestions.
"The safest and most popular flow
ers here in Chicago are violets, lilies
of the valley, and carnations, in the
order named. There is something
! sweet and caressing in the odor of
the first two that almost invariably
appeals to the gentler sex. In con-
nection with the carnation 1 have no.
ticed a popularity that it always at
tracts the large, athletic appearing
woman, the typical American girl. It's
pungent, invigorating sweetness finds
a responsive something in the breast
where independence reigns.
"Imagination has much to do with
the influence of these odors over
women, for while northern women
may not know it it is still true that
forcing and grating rob flowers Of
much of their sweetness. When they
are put on the market here little OF
their original perfume remains"

TO MEND FAMILY MANNERS.
"A Generous Infusion of Formally In
to Home Social Intercourse
Never Harms.

Family manners are apt to suffer
from too much candor. We speak
with great plainness in the circle of
our own kindred; we comment too
freely on foibles; we express the
contrary opinion too readily and with
too little courtesy. A slight infusion
of formality never harms social in
tercourse, either in the family or
elsewhere, says the New York OBJ
server.
Beyond this too common mistake
of an overbluntness and brusque free
dom in the manners of household,
in some of our homes, there is a
greater fault, even lack of demon
stration. There is the deepest, sin
cerest love in the home-the broth.
ers and sisters would cheerfully die
for one another if so great a sacri-
flee were demanded-but the love is
locked behind a barrier of reserve.
Caresses are infrequent, words of af-
lection are seldom spoken. 1t may
be urged with truth and some show
of reason that in the very homes
where this absence of demonstration
is most marked, there is complete
mutual understanding and no posi-
bility of doubt or misgiving, and, so
far as it goes, this is well. But often
young hearts long unspeakably for
some gentle sign of loves presence,
the lingering touch of tender hand
on the head, the goodnight kiss, the
word of praise. the recognition of
affection. Older hearts, too, are
sometimes empty. and many of us,
younger and older, are kept on short
rations all our lives, when our right
is to be fed with the finest wheat,
and enough of it, too.
