DRAWINGRO0MS.

How different is the drawingroom
now from that of a generation ago
even of half a generation! Writers in
the women's newspapers in England,
says the New York Sun, are comment
ing on the fact with keen appreciation
of the change, and in this country it
is even more in evidence than across
the sea.
The wax fruits, the woollen anti
macassars of the last generation pass
ed away with the stuffed birds and
the wealth of artificial orange bios
SONS under glass cases long ago. The
present generation has almost forgot
ten them.
1t does remember better the chenille
monkeys that used to climb over the
gas fixtures on the walls, the yards
upon yards of art muslin that used to
be turned over chairs and flower pots,
and the sofas that came in when the
horsehair period expired. And it re-
grets them and the array of Japanese
plates on the wall even less.
That period of eccentricity in dec
grafton has passed.
The modern drawing-room," said
a man interested in the development
of domestic art the other day, lis,
under proper auspices, now picture
of refined simplicity, an epitome of
art and a real haven of rest.
The furnishers and decorators
have combined with housewives Of
more developed tastes and better ideas
than their predecessors to make it so.
They have borrowed from the past all
the best ideas it had, and they have
added them to the conveniences of the
present,
Take the taste in wall coverings.
Crudely colored. gaudy papers, dis
playing impossible flowers and gro
tesque Unconventional designs, have
been abandoned in favor of self-col-
ored papers, striped ones showing va
rants of one color, silken hangings,
tapestries and stenciled sackcloth ar
ranged in panels after the old method.
Then the carpets. Where beauti-
full rugs, the highest development of
the weaver's art, have not replaced
them we have velvet pile, with a bor-
der repeating the main color in many
tones.
And for chair coverings we have
kept the old-world chintz, redolent of
an age when women wore white, Law
ender or cinnamon, pale blue and sim
pie pink, and dressed their hair in
ringlets.
And never has there been day in
which cultivated women have been
more keenly alive to the beauty of
good wood than they are now They
collect satinwood, walnut oak and
mahogany, and will not suffer an inch
of table cloth to hide the exquisite
sheen of their favorite pieces of fur
niture.
taking the drawingroom as indi-
eating the artistic sense of the period,
surely we have ever reason to be
proud of the progress Of art in the
home"

FOR THE BRIDES MOTHER.

There has been a great change with
in the last ten years in regard to
the correct costume for the mother
of the bride. She may be as expensive
ly or as deliberately gowned as posi-
BILE, but she must wear hat both at
the ceremony at the church and at
the reception following. Her hat is,
of course most elaborate and, so to
speak, quite full dress. AS middle
aged mothers are wholly out of date
now, this elaborate reception costume
with hat to match often makes the
mother seem at first glance no older
than the bride herself. Black is not
fashionable for such an occasion, light
gray, mauve, pale blue and even white
being considered suitable.

MARRIAGE A FAILURE?

To an outsider, one of the strongest
arguments against matrimony is the
number of those who try to get out of
it. Being tied is in itself condition
trying to an erratic temperament, for
you are never so eager to get away
as when you know you can't.
l have watched devoted lovers grow
into Indifferent partners, and also
have seen most beautiful marriages
grow from rather commonplace Woo
ings, so the advance stage seems not
much of an indication what the fu-
ture will give.
One of my girl friends said to me
of her fiance: Il am not one of the sill
ly girls who cannot see faults in those
they care for. 1 can see them all
the palmer because 1 love, and though
l have hunted very hard for them, l
can't see a fault in Joe, and so l know
he hasn't got any," She and Joe got
married and went their loving way.
Some years later 1 met her, and in
the course of conversation she surpris-
ed me by saying: NO, OF course, l
don't tell Joe everything, the way /
used to. Men are so stupid they never
understand, so it is foolish to tell them
and get into fuss"
DO they grow stupid after mar
riage?"
well; they may not, but they seem
to. Why, Joe nearly went wild over
the most innocent letter that man
sent me, and he happened to find. I've
told the maid again and again never
to bring my letters to the table. but
to put them in my bureau drawer, but
she is so careless. One often has let
ters she doesn't wish her husband to
see. bills and things of that sort.
Now, it is hard for me to imagine
A marriage a success in which one
marty to the contract has such
feeling as that. Marriage, it seems to
me. is one of two things, either a
business contract, or union found
ed upon sentiment, and if deceit enters
TWO II one party or the other is not
living up to the agreement however
smoothly things may seem to go. If
it is a business concern, each partner

THE MARRIAGEABLE AGE.

CHANGING down carefully compiled
list of fashionable weddings celebrated
during the last eighteen months, says
the London Daily Mail, it was found
that the average bridal age worked
out at a trife over rs, which is also
said to be the age Of our newest An
glo-American Duchess.
Ideas on the subject Of the mar
riageable age have changed with
changing years, and no one will deny
that the change is for the better.
It would be considered outrageous
now for girls TO marry at the age when
many of their grandmothers took up
the cares and responsibilities which
that step almost invariably entails.
Girls of IA and Is were then looked
upon as women grown.
Their granddaughter Of to-day at
the same age are little else than chill
dren. scarcely half way through school
life.

SHE WEARS
QUEENS DRESSES.

At cost of $1,000 young woman in
Chicago has been fitted out with a
coming OUT gown and outfit consist
ing entirely of the castoff clothing of
royalty.
From her head to her feet, says the
Chicago Tribune, she is attired in cloth
ing that queens have worn. She is
not the only one with desire to appear
attired in clothes that queens have
worn. So great is the demand that
certain agents, especially in England,
make a business of supplying it, and
most of their trade is in America.
The father of this Chicago girl either
conceived the idea of an entire royal
outfit or else he ably seconded his
daughter in her demands. He gave the
order to the English woman who acted
as the agent.
The shoes were white satin, beauti-
fully embroidered with gold thread and
seed pearls. They cost $40. The stock
ings cost s25. the gloves SIS, the linge-
RE, of the finest lawn trimmed with
lace, SITS, corset $50, two underskirts
of silk and lace 5000, and the dress

Ethel was the despair Of the family.

New York Times. never had overcome

dolls. Nothing interested her so

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and
rest:
Home keeping hearts are happiest;
For those that wander they know not

Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east they wander west,
And are baffied and beaten and blown
about
BY the winds of the wilderness of
doubt:
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and

A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
