The Popular Dull Finish.

After a riot of shine and sparkle the
weathercock of popular fancy has suddenly
veered about. A ruthless campaign is now
being waged against glitter This applies
to all the implements and decorative things
with which our rooms are fairly strewed
NOWADAYS.
Silver candesticks dishes, trays, bowls,
.eapots. each and all of the many trifles
that go to make up the outfit of the dining
table. dressing table or writing desk. must
glow 1--WE even have to be careful how we
use the word "shine') with chastened
luster. They may not show one spark of
glitter.
The innumerable things that are made In
brass are now cunningly treated to a dull
finish. and they gain immensely in attrac ct
iveness by the change. For the relief of
careful housewives who groaned over the
daily polishing of the domestic brasswork
a transparent LACQUER was devised which
covered the surfaces and prevented them
from furnishing. An artist made the har-
rowing discovery that his brass lamp had
been put through this labor-saving process
and it was not until he got every trace
of the stuff off that peace returned to him.
1t took days of hard rubbing. helped out
with liberal applications of acid, to do it,
but he now points with conscious pride to
his softly FURNISHED brass.
Another thing may be said of dull-finished
metal-it offers no unseemly contrasts
either TO OLD tnlng or new. Almost all of
us have at one time another come
triumphantly home with some resplendent
little affair only to find when it was stood
up among our other possessions that its
heartlesS glitter made the whole place
seem colorless if not actually shabby
1t had a painfully new look which never
let it seem quite at home. This change is
not owing to desire to have ones newly
bought things masquerade antiques 1t
is the natural revolt against the much
brilliance, which was often mere shininess,
that had been flashing at you from every
corner until you thought longngly of the
eyeless fishes of Mammoth cave.
There is one thing that is to be said of
most of the innovations that are sprung
upon us In these variable days, and that is
that they are usually founded on principles
of good taste and common sense

The Useful Lamp Chimney.
m the woman's Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion
A chimney taken from a lighted lamp Is
one of the best and most quickly prepared
hot applications. Simply slip the hot
chimney into an old stocking and apply to
the pain. If steam is needed take a damp
warm cloth and wrap around the chimney
If the heat is for a cough or the Group,
wrap in flannel rag smeared with NUT
ton tallow and turpentine. Applied to the
chest or throat, relief will be had almost
at once. If your feet are cold at night,
place a hot chimney to them. and they will
soon be warm. A lamp chimney is especial
ly practicable during summer months, when
the fires are out, for you can light the lamp
and thus have hot applications in a few
minutes. Group, collie. toothache earache,
coughs, rheumatic pains and many other
ills flee before the hot lamp chimney In this
household.
To press short seams without using an
iron, light small kerosene lamp, regulat-
ing the blaze to keep the chimney moder-
ately hot, then dampen the seam to be
pressed. Pass the seam quickly over the
spherical part of the chimney, and il will
be pressed as nicely as could be done with
a hot iron. Velvet ribbon, also. may be
pressed in this way by dampening it on the
linen or satin side, then rubbing on the
chimney.

well as a magnificent shade of liberty red
called the Morris"
A certain London firm is more successful
than any other firm in the world in the
matter of artistic dyes, and the best of
American neglige models come from its
establishment. The colors they employ owe
their beauty to William Morris and other
gifted poets and artists, and more than
one tea gown is an exact copy of some
classic robe in well-known picture. With
a definite picture effect. rich colors and
stuffs are sometimes combined with jew
eled girdles and clasps. producing gorgeous
results, for the rose gems and unique set
tings used by the firm are highly effective.

Children.

Written for The Evening Star.
Don't expect children to be beautiful I'M
less healthy, happy and contented. This
indeed goes far toward making them
lovely.
Don't think too much time can be devoted
to physical development. In nothing is 1t OF
more Importance to take time by the fore

Don't let children sit without support to
their backs; and encourage them to rest
their spines by lying back in a chair. Once
a day make both boys and girls lie fiat on
the floor for half hour. This Will make
fine figures.
and low in the middle, or their necks will
be certain TO sink within their shoulders,
and their figures become distorted.
Don't let them sit still too long at time;
If they do, they will iidget, move restlessly
from side to side. and take attitudes which
may make them grow crooked.
Don't let d STOPPING lesson, such as writ
ing or drawing, end without some simple
arr, exercises.
Don't have heavy curtains at bedroom
windows; let the sunshine pour in.
Don't paper bedroom walls; paper catches
| all floating gases. Finish the walls with
some non-absorbent material.
| Don't have any carpets on bedroom floors;
| use rugs instead. Have few hangings and
| little bric-a-brac.
Don't let them spend any more time in the
bedroom than is absolutely necessary.
Don't allow a child to sleep with an older
| person.
Don't give a child a harsh rub after a
| bath. Drying should be done carefully with
| a soft towel; there should be a warm tub
| in the morning and quick sponge bath at
| night.
Don't comb a child's hair too much. Brush
| carefully with a soft brush
Don't use curling tongs. II locks abso-
| lutely must be curled-in little sugar
curls"-twist them at bedtime on soft
| cloths.
Don't think a child can have brightness of
| eyes clearness softness and smoothness of
| skin without good food
Don't coax child to eat Lack of appe-
| tite often indicates lack of necessity.
Don't allow a child to grow up with
squirting eyes or crooked teeth. The sci
entific treatment of physical defects has
reached a high point of skill, and many of
natures unkindnesses may be overcome.

Five O'Clock Tea.
'om the New York Times

From the New York Times
The o'clock tea is getting to be very
much less elaborate of late. The sand
witches are made of bread and butter and
sometimes there are a few of pate but.
owing to the horror of most women for
growing stout, there are but few sweets,
and one rarely sees the nut and almond
and mayonnaise mixtures recommended in
various cookery columns. The little bottle
of rum is still in evidence for the few men
who like 1t, but as rule there is whisky
and soda in another room. One of the ia
vorite sweetmeats is the old-fashioned loaf
cake. which, after all, is very simple and
which partakes almost of the nature of
raisin bread. There is a bakery in town
where these loaf cakes are speciality, but
they must be ordered long time in add
vance. Rock candy and saccharine are the
two sweets used for the tea. although many
take their cheering cup with only slice of
lemon and neither sweetening matter nor
cream and sugar.

NEW YORK, June 4, 1903
Always a fascinating garment, the new
neglige is now more than ever persuasive
OF the most tropical tint-sea green, mist
gray or one of the many shades of white
1t Is ephemeral In quality and indescrfb-
ably feminine In line.
In this soft feminine essence lies the
chief charm of all the dainty folderols fash
ion has designed for summer boudoir use.
These garments have always expressed
some such appealing sentiment. When a
graceful gown is in white the poetic feel
ing of the new designs is also marked. es-
pecially if the sleeves are wide and flow
ing, as many of them are. In fact, in this
department. In all the others of dress,
everything is done to enhance the charms
of the fair, and new gowns destined for the
most clustered use radiate with a delicate
coquetry.
No matter whether the things have been
