alive to the fact that advertising space in

A Dainty Redspread.

A bedspread that is rich looking,
washes well and is easy to make may
be evolved out Of a hemstitched linen
sheet, two rolls of mercerized linen
floss, four yards of torchon lace edging.
four yards of torchon lace insertion
and six torchon medallions or squares
or three medallions and three squares.
The spread is supposed to cover the
entire bed, so only the sides will need
the finest of the edging and insertion,
the latter being sewed on two or three
inches from the edge and then the
linen cut away from underneath it,
leaving it transparent.
The medallions and squares should
first be pinned on in an irregular way,
so as to show to the best advantage,
and then sewed and the material cut
away beneath. All the edges should
be hemmed on the wrong side and
featherstitched, with the foss on the
right side.

that the harness be clean before apply

rubbing with a dry cloth; then apply
the oil while tile leather is soft, but
not too wet. The harness may be hung

Old, neglected harnesses that are dry

flbers Of the leather have lost their

Oil does not add to the strength of

Color has its influence in apparently
increasing or diminishing the size Of a
room. Blue is called retiring color,
therefore is used on low ceilings and
elsewhere to give an idea of space, or,
rather, of increasing space. On the
contrary, yellow is an advancing color
and If used generously will make a
room appear smaller. Red and green
make but little difference. If olive
green or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture the
general effect would be quite different
from what it would be if blue were
used. Blue would accentuate the taw-
ny orange in the wood, being its COM
Elementary color. There should be
only one decided color in room, used
as a background, against which the
others are employed to give value.

blossoms.
This man does we'll not to reveal his

Lace ON sleeves Going Out.

Six months ago all fashionable street
and carriage gowns were made with
sleeves filled with white lace. This
fashion was boon to the woman with
none too lovely hands, and her poorer
sister FASTENED to dress up her last
winters suit by sewing lace at the
cuffs. Now is the time to rip off the
lace, because lace trimmed cuffs are
gone. 1t is almost the badge Of being
behind the time to have lace deck the
wrists. Black lace is not so bad, and a
bit Of white ruching is proper, but
white lace is hopeless. The end of this
fashion is heralded by many with ac-
claim The white lace dragged in ev-
erything. 1t was constantly in the
way, and at tea or luncheon table 1t
was nuisance.
