rive in New York. The articles have al
ready been drawn up by the clubs match
maker, Guy Adams; Sharkey and Munroe
have already posted 81, 600 as forfeits and
have asked the club to put up 5000, the
same to be divided equally between the
men should anything crop up whereby the
mill cannot be held. According to present
schedule the fight will be decided in July,
possibly on the 4th. This would give the
miners in that part Of the country a holt
day and insure a good attendance.
Munroe has been doing some light work,
but will not settle down to hard training
until a month before the battle. His the
atrical engagements will not expire until
late In May. It is estimated that Munroe
has made at least 5000 since he jumped
into prominence by staying four rounds
with Champion Jeffries.
Sharkey who Is always in fair shape, is
going to train zealously for Munroe. He
regards the miner as tough proposition
and realizes that another defeat will put
him out of the game forever. Sharkey will
secure quarters in Butte and will leave for
the west in six weeks time.

comment although not long ago when a
Harlem woman undertook a trip TO Bos-
ton. Mass. under the shadow OF the wing
of a messenger" Of diminutive propor-

to chronicle.
But a most popular field for these Jacks
OF all drades is shopping for women and
doing detective work. Women are for the
most part the employers OF these very
youthful detectives. nd certain It Is that
not even professional detectives can
eclipse some of the messenger boys.
Messenger boys as shoppers seem the
beignt Of luxury to most women. but
there are not a few women Of wealth in
New York who employ them exclusively
for tkis purpose" said the manager in a
big New York office. Mrs. Delaney Kane
has for years made use Of a messenger
boy to shop for her. She always wants
the same boy and. as you may suppose,
he has by this time become quite expert
in the selection of ribbons and laces and
feminine apparel. There is one thing about
a messenger boy, he won't stop until nc
gets what he was sent for. If he can't
find It in one store he keeps on until he
does.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
DAINTY peasrrenas.

The busy housewife who has taste
but no time for embroidery, yet would
like to have pretty bedspreads, toilet
covers. screens and other dainty things
IN her bedroom, viii find a few sugges-
tions useful.
An extremely pretty bedspread is
made by taking new linen sheet and
with dinner plate and small dessert
plate or saucer making lntersccted cir
cles with a hard lead pencil at regular
intervals over the spread. when this is
done the foundation lines are made for
a pretty design OF wreaths, on which II
Is easy to draw flowers or leaves.
One wreath OF wild roses or another
OF daisies has good effect. The small
er circle OF green leaves and the larger
OF any simple flower Is good idea.
When the flowers have been sketched
stain them the color desired with a fast
dye. There are several dyes that vii
stand cnreful washing-violet ink Of
red ink, for instance.
After the designs have been stnineS
outline them with a single zephyi
worsted, which washes admirably

not so effective and takes more time.
The easiest outline stitch is 10 sew

ion. This gives rope effect. which
looks well.
A bureau cover TO match the spread
made in the same way with smaller cir
cies would be decorative, and panels
for a screen look effective done in this
way.

About japanese Houses

The principle Of simplicity in house
furn 'shing, which so many profess in
these days and few practice. is applied
with great literalness by the Japanese.
They have very little furniture i'm their
houses, and much of that little like
cushions, finger warmers and tobacco
stoves, is only brought in when re-
quired. The only furniture which re-
mains permanently in a room is a
screen or two, a table a foot or two
high-not for sitting at, but to support
some valuable vase, and at New Years
time the three TERED sacred rice flour
cakes, known as mochi. The beds are
rolled up when not In use, and though
the owner may have many handsome
vases, he does not. like an American
housewife, try TO display them all at
once. One or two are brought out at a
time, the rest being kept in q fireproor
depository made of cement.
The Japanese house is as simple as
its furnishings. II is all ON one floor.
and is so light and Derishable in its
materials and construction that even
when secured for the night it would in
many cases scarcely bear the weight OF
q drunken man leaning against IL. The

sliding in grooves serve as partitions.
The better class Of houses are q little
more Substantial and have glass in the

a house that can fall about the ears OF
the occupants without doing them any
serious injury is perhaps the most de-
sirahle.
These houses have no heating ar
rangements. except little hand stoves,
and the Japanese ara seldom warm in
winter beyond the tips of uheir fingers.
