FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


For the sofa handsome pillows are
made whose covering is of velvet or
suede, with designs in leather applique
of contrasting tones. A moss green vel
vet is appliqued with the rich hued
disks of the sunflower and marked by
the pyrograph with brown shadings.
Foliage and stems are also burned. A
poppy design in red and suede has
background of tan colored suede. Pic
turesque heads cut from leather and
brought into relief by the pyrographs
etchings are also appliqued on suede.
Both sides of the pillows are of the
leather laced closely with thongs at
the sides and decorated at the corners
with leather tassels.
Colored suede skins tanned whole are
as popular as ever for table coverings
and sofa pillows, but are less frequent
ly than formerly decorated with the
pyrograph and brush. Two of the
skins are used for pillow. which is
laced between them with leather
thongs, and the extra length and
breadth of the leather are left hanging
loose. Often these irregular sides are
slashed into fringe.

An EIizabethan Room,

We go to Elizabethan models for in
spiration which finds expression in a
ribbed ceiling and a paneled and re-
cessed chimney piece. The walls
should be paneled in white woodwork
except for the frieze, which should be
embossed in gold. A pretty effect would
be given by having a raised dais at the
window end and fitted window seat.
Then the electrollers should be of
quaint pattern to initiate medieval
lanterns, the carpet warm in tone. say
old rose, and the curtains matching its
shading. The furniture may be either
what Is called Queen Anne or have the
quaint note of the existing Elizabethan
style. With this you will have treat
ment which combines cheerfulness
with refinement. 1t needs by way Of
supplement few prints-proofs from
Romney or Sir Joshua, for choice
but failing these high priced luxuries
some good strong modern etchings and
half dozen pieces of china or delft,
and then your room cannot be sur
passed for comfort, usefulness or eff
feet.

as he entered the store the proprietor
advanced and shook hands with him
and gave him warm welcome. The
bookkeeper was puzzled and put out,
but only for moment. Then the pro-
prietor explained.

"Y-yes, SIR"
"Ie has discovered that you have
embezzled $35O,000 from us during

Fried Kidneys.

Three large kidneys, three table
spoonfuls of butter, half teacup good
brown gravy, one teaspoonful of
chopped parsley, half teaspoonful of
minced onion, pepper and salt.
Skin the kidneys and cut crosswise
into round slices quarter of an inch
thick, then roll them in flour. Have
ready in a frying pan the butter, well
seasoned with pepper, salt, parsley and
onion. When it begins to simmer over
the fire, lay in carefully and evenly the
slices Of kidney. Fry gently for two
minutes; turn and let them fry as long
on the other side, or until they are of a
light brown. If cooked too much or
too fast, they become tough and taste
less. Remove instantly from the fry
ing pan with an egg slice and arrange
ON a hot dish. Add to the gravy in
the pan a few tablespoonfuls of broth,
thickened with Drowned -four, boil up
once, pour over the kidneys and serve.

see tardy recognition of its pictur-

now bought for use on the porch or
