All. OVER THE HOUSE.
The Newest Ideas In Furnishings For
the Coming Summer.

Furnishings for summer homes
This year seem to be of dull finish
dim tapestries, soft finished liberty
yelvets and cotton brocades-every-
thing, in fact, to suggest a certain
antiquity. Greens, deep rose and
old gold form the foundation of al
most all the fabrics for summer use.
Color schemes for room furnish
ings begin to appear everywhere,
and exquisite are the Holland prints.
Huge, splashing flowers are combin-
cd with natural looking foliage, and
down pillows are shown covered
with this same fabric.
These lovely summer fabrics are
used for furniture covering as well
as hangings. There is wide range
from which to choose, beginning
with denim and jute and going on
through the choice of silk and linen
or cotton mixtures, heavy linens and
plain and fancy china silks.
Fish net draperies are coming in
again. People are beginning to
grow tired of clouds of muslin and
demand things that, while cheap,
are lighter and prettier. Both plain
and modified nets are to be had with
pretty figures in self colors. The
deep reds and dull greens are very
beautiful and are said to stand
dampness and salt air without fad

HOW WATER FREEZES.

1t used to puzzle all thinking
people why ponds and rivers do
not freeze beyond certain depth.
This depends on a most curious
fact, namely, that water is at its
heaviest when it reaches 40 de
grees Fahrenheit, that is, eight
degrees above freezing point. On
a frosty night, as each top layer
of water falls to 40 degrees it
sinks to the bottom therefore,
The whole pond has to drop to
forty degrees before any of it
can freeze
At last it is all covered to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is very bad conductor of
heat. Therefore, it shuts off the
freezing air from the big body of
comparatively warm water un-
derneath. The thicker it gets
the more perfectly does it set as
great coat, and that is why even
the Artic ocean never freezes be-
yond a few feet in thickness.

A CeIestine OmeIet.

A Celestine omelet, as made by
French cook, is something to re-
member. 1t is, in fact, plural, for
the real Celestinc is served individ-
ually, one egg, the white and yolk
beaten separately, to an cmelet. As,
however, this form of the dish needs
a rapidity in preparation that is not
possible always in the average kitch-
en-, it is quite as well to make one
large omelet-say of six eggs-aft-
er the usual method. Just before
folding cover the omelet with a
thin layer Of peach marmalade, and
on this sprinkle chopped candied
fruits. Fold and slip to hot dish,
spreading over the top a few aim
onds that have been blanched and
chopped, covering finally lightly
with whipped cream. Once eaten in
its perfection, this omelet will be a
thing to be afterward desired and
striven for.

Dressing Table Attachment.

Every woman who dresses her
own hair knows the terrible difficult
ty of arranging the coiffure satisfac-
torily at the back by the aid of
handglass. To hold this toilet ad-
junct in one hand and do the hair
with the other is impossible, and to
loosen the hair in order to see the
effect so far as it has gone with
small mirror is often to wreck the
whole structure. An inventive man
has come to the rescue, however,

WEDDING THEM OUT.

81 smile over it even now," de-
clared the well known minister of
the Gospel, who was in reminis-
cent mood, says the Detroit Free
Press. ut was my first church,
and | was ambitious to make a
good showing. We were sadly in
need of new church, and / deci.
ded to make an attempt to get
one. The congregation was not
a wealthy one, and fully realized
that it would be a difficult matter
to secure the needed funds
Knowing that many are sensitive
over the fact that they are not
able to give as much as others, |
tried the plan of having them
write the amount they were will
ing to give upon a card and put it
in a small envelope that l fur
nished.
"Well, | collected the envelopes
and took them in my study to
look over. The amount pledged
was very satisfactory, but there
was one card calling for 500 that
was unsigned. At first l thought
this was an oversight, then, think
ing l recognized the writing, l
was not so sure. There was on
ly one member who wrote a hand
like it, and that was Deacon
Jones, a man who had the reputa-
ton of being very close. Now,
500 was none too much for him
to give, although | had not ex-
pected to get more than S25 from
him. | distinctly remembered
seeing him make a great show of
dropping his envelope in the hat
when it was passed, and as there
was no card with his name | felt
sure that the unsigned card was
his, and that he was well aware
that he had not signed it.
"Well, the next Sunday-re.

ed upon bold plan. Iarose and
requested all those who had hand.
ed in an envelope the Sunday be-
fore to stand up. This they did,

as | read list of the givers | had
made from the cards, | request
ed them to be seated. One by
one they sat down, and when my
list was exhausted only the dea

he had done so, much against hi.
