Written for The Evening Star
The latest indication of luxury in the
home is the introduction of tre throne an

Others from the far east 1t is a great
improvement over the stereotyped cozy
corner.
The throne is especially desirable in a
| room where there is high window com

thus be broken, and the window be made
useful.
The first step in the securing of a house
| throne is to erect platform of the desired
height and size. If more than eighteen
inches high. steps lead to the platform
When finished the platform is carpeted or
has rug thrown over it. The latter is
usually considered better, as it admits of
cleansing with less trouble than the car
pet.
A box couch upholstered with good
springs. is then set on the platform and
over this an artistic drapery of tapestry
is thrown. Bright colored cushions to har-
monize with the draperies and rug help to
make the corner attractive.
The high window beside the couch is cur
tanned with soft silk. chintz orvelvet If
the latter is used, il will also make good
porueres to hang over a pole in front of
the throne. The portieres not only add to
the artistic effect, but will be found use

A high window is not an absolute neces-

entire room. As there was no window.

the corner of the wall and framed on this

A big drop electroiier with shades of
green and red, swung over the couch,
so that the occupant could read in the
evening. The cushions were of veivets and
soft bright colored silks.
This idea can be carried out in accurate

The Fashion Outlook.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Plain cloths and rough cloths are alike
fashionable, and plaids, checks, stripes and
cheviot effects for the hard-wear, sensible
walking costumes. Silk, lace, yelling, net
and once again chiffon are to be worn for
afternoon and house gowns. Both long
and short coats, the former, however, more
wear with a skirt to match, will be fash
ionable
Muslins and thin materials of all kinds
will be most noticeabiy popular, and an
immense amount of embroidery and lace
and passementerie will be found necessary
to the success of the so-called simple little
muslin frock. Shirt waist suits are again
to be fashionable, and made in heavy as
well as light materials, but these are very
much more elaborate than they have been
and it will be found necessary to have a
lining and often boned one, in most of
these waists.
The skirts will be worn short and long
the short skirts for street wear and also
for morning wear in the country--but no
smart gown will be made with a short
skirt. Veilings, silks and all such mate
rials, and more elaborate cloth gowns as
WELL will all have trained skirts. There is
a great attempt being made to have skirts
very full, gathered and shirred on the hips,
pleated and, in fact, constructed in such a
way as to use just as much material as
possible; but as yet the question is not
definitely settled as to whether this full
skirt will be received with enough enthu-
siasm to make it a desirable one to invest
in for all the gowns in an outfit.

CORSET FIXINGS.
Big Bows and Wadded Hearts Among
Them

The new corset decorations are as much
necessity as an adornment to oorsets.
The full bodice fronts and yoke effects
make it imperativ that there be an even.
full line across the front of the bodice from
shoulder to shoulder.
One of the confections made to achieve
this result is a band of lace. run through
the top with ribbon fastened inside the
shoulder with ribton bows to which
gathered two or three ruffies of lace of
graduated widths, one falling over the
other.
Another band effect is covered with a
Deep quilted ruching of bobbnet. Still an
other has full quilting of pinked taffeta
and similar one is made of ruffies OF rib
bor with or without a big bow in the mid
die.
More popular than these are the padded
bows. strip of figured, dotted or plain
So tin or silk is cut to reach from shoulder
to shoulder. This is lined with cotton wad-
ding folded over and sewed together on the
edge. 1t is then tied tightly across the
middle with a large ribbon bow of the
50 me color. Where the material is plain,
it is decorated with hand-painting or hand
embroidery on each end of the pad, and
often upon the ribbon ends and loops.
White. pale blue and pink favorits
colors for pads. while forget-me- e-nots, yio-
lets and little pink roses are employed prin-
cipally in the decorations
Plump women prefer a decoration imme-
diately in the front of the corset. The gen
eral style is a fiat, wadded heart larger
tfan a large hand, and trimmed around
the edge with fine narrow lace. The heart
is covered with fine embroidered null, or
some otEer sheer Uaterial, over eolored SILK
or satin.
Little lacebordered and embroidered
handkerchiefs with a beading In the upper
portion or across the middle, are popular to
wear In front of corsets Narrow ribbon,
run through the beading is drawn to make

Indian Households.
m Everybody's Magazine.

From EyeryDody's Maghzihe
No one is separate unit in India. The
sons never leave the parental rooftree. All
marrying-marriage with them Is as birth
and death inevitable-and their children are
added to the family. There are always Wild
owed aunts, other grandparents-no relative
is ever left to shift for himself In India-so
that households of 100 are not uncommon.
Add almost as many servants. and we have
some idea of the occupation and cares OF
the mistress of such home. The servants
quarters surround the yard or compound,
and the ladies of the household care for
them as did the stately DANES of old Vir-
ginia in the plantation life before the war.
The great zenana court yards stretch back
to fruit and vegetable gardens, and there
are tanks artificial ponds. where ladies
and children bathe in secusion. Blossom
ing trees rise above hedges that jealousy
guard these sacred retreats, where family
may sport in private with freedom unknown
to us. and suited to their shy, poetic. play
full natures, that only unfold when with
each other, caring as little to see the world
outside as to be seen by 1t.
