ture.
There are afternoon tea screens OF
which the lower part is lattice work
stained black or made of ebony, the up
per part a panel of embroidery, and
between the embroidery and lattice
work is shelf wide enough to hold
cups aud saucers.
For the dining room are screens OF
leather work, each panel piece Of art
in itself, with the different colorings
thrown out into full relief by the plain
band of some bright color.
In some of the empire drawing rooms
the screens are of satin, embroidered
in most exquisite designs, in tiny flow
ers, and ribbon bows.
A dining room is unfinished without
a screen, ostensibly to hide the door
leading into the pantry. but in reality
adding to the furnishing of the room.
When such screens are not in
leather they are made up in plain col
ors, with gilt figures, and there are al
so some most inexpensive models made
of denim in bright colors, with figures
in heraldic designs.
For bedrooms lowered cretonnes,
chintzes, and India silks are pets.
They are much smaller and much
lighter, and generally have carved
frame, while the material is put on
full, as though gathered on tape or
rod.

SPEED OF ToRPEDo.soATs
Depth Of the Water Has a Great Effect
Upon the Power Needed.

The recent tests Of torpedo boats in
the Pay OF Dantzig, Germany. have
resulted in the ascertainment of some
facts regarding their navigation not
hitherto known. The particular object
OF these experiments was TO ascertain
the influence OF the depth of the
water on the speed of the boat. II
is stated that up to a speed of twelve
knots an appreciate influence was
observed, but from fifteen TO twenty
knots the unfavorable character al
the Influence increased in proportion
to the diminution OF depth. In shallow,
water-about two fathoms deep-twice
as much power was required Of the
engines TO get the speed easily OBJ
tainable in deep water.
With an increase Of speed. the
strange fact was remarked that condf.
tions unfavorable to the beats way
were no longer apparent in two
fathoms, but rather al a depth OF foul
or FIVE and better results were OBJ
tanned in shallow water than in twenty
fathoms. In consequence Of these
observations The government naval

ONCE UPON A TIME

And not SO long ago either, super
fiuous introductions were an almost
universal nuisance in this country.
The woman who persists in the
farce of making people acquainted
in the twinkling of an eye under any
and all circumstances is still to be
found, but she is happily becoming rar,
er and rarer.
We will not suffer unalloyed grief
when we write "Hic jacet'' over the
last of her kind.
Still there is no need of burying the
introduction itself.
They have almost done so over in
England, but America has often found
happy medium between her own
early ways and the customs of EuroIe
She finds that common sense is gen.
orally safe key to any guide to de,
corum.
The confirmed introducer has been
called bore, but until mental tele-
pathy shall have become more wide
spread accomplishment than it is now,
the old fashioned introduction has
need for not lapsing into utter disuse.
To send total strangers out to dinner
together without so much as giving one
clew to the others identity may be
good English form. but it is not good
common sense.
A woman who aspires to be a good
dinner giver will find that success lies
not by this path.
Even at teas and receptions an intro
duction need not always be made with
bated breath and an apologize air as
If ones conscience accused one of max
ing faux pas.
Finally, although there are those who
might condemn this as rank social
liberalism, there are circumstances
when passing ihtroductions are per.
fectly legitimate and most agreeable.
The introduction has as much need
of raison d'etre as has any other So
cial custom.
But once it has the reason for being
it is most valuable and welcome.
1t is the only superfuous introduc
ton, whose name is even yet legion,
which has numbered the ground and
needs roofing out

OUT OF SMALL BOXES

Big fun can be made for little people.
Let boy who can use simple tools
fit up a grocery shop by painting such
a box on the outside, then painting or
papering it's walls and ceiling, and
staining its floor.
A neat little sign can be made out of
strip of wood and fastened over the
front Of the shop.
A cigar box without the lid, sawed in
hall lengthwise, yields two counters.
Sets of shelves for merchandise are
easily put up on the walls.
Meantime, the little sisters are busy
getting ready a supply of bottles and
pasteboard boxes to serve as recep-
tacles for candy, rice, and such mat
tiers.
They are also rolling long strips of
cloth about thin bits of board, from one
to two inches wide. to make them look
like miniature bolts of calico, muslin,
and wooden goods Last of all, a little
settee can be made of cigar lockwood.
A step ladder, a few barrels and
churns, and other little trifies can be
bought at toy shops for penny apiece
to add to the stock, including set of
scales. Over the counter a spool of
coarse white thread is slung by a cord
from the ceiling of the little shop to
serve as Irvine.
Such a shop can be used by way Of
variety for a grocery. dry goods shop,
and, in summer time. when there are
plenty of flowers, florists.
This last plan delights small lovers
Of nature. Empty spools make nice
!. pots. with sprig of a bush or flower
ing plant stuck into the hole of the
pool flower pot.
Another use for a box is to make a
theater of it. The boy with me-
