Chintz Covered Walls.

An idea utilized in an out of the
way attic room which had to be
converted into a bedroom at the
least possible expense was that OF
covering the walls with old fashion
ed chintz-not paper, but the gen.
uine woven material. The scrt
chosen had a ground of cream, on
which full blown roses were strewn.
just the daintiest thing imaginable
and costing only a'few cents a yard
The room never having been used
for anything but purposes of stor'
age, there was no wooden surbase,
and the chintz WIS hung before this
was put in, so that the lower edges
of each strip were concealed.

No More Suffering.

If you are troubled with indl-

pepsia Cure and see how quickly
it will cure you. Geo. a. Thorn
son of Spencer, Ia, says: "Have
had Dyspepsia for twenty years.
My case was almost hopeless. 10
dol Dyspepsia Cure was recon-
mended, and l used few bottles
of it, and it is the only thing that
has relieved me. Would not be
without it. Have doctored with
local physicians and also at Chi
cago, and even went to Norway
with hopes Of getting some re-
lief, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
the only remedy that has done me
any good, and I heartily recon-
mend it. Every person suffering
with Indigestion or Dyspepsia
should use it. :" Sold by A. R.

A Clever Idea.

A dish draincr was thought out
by an invalid whose mind is much
stronger than her body. 1t was Sc
beverly thought out that it saves
at least one-third of the work-the
great, great work-of dish drying
The dishes are firmly held at their
lower edges in the bottom Of the
wire basket. They are rinscd on
both sides at the same time and do
not steam. There is central bas-
ket which holds knives, forks and
spoons upright, insuring perfect
drainage and preventing soaking
and loosening of knife handles. No
pretty finger tips are scalded In
hot rinsing water.

Ever since THE SUN told the story OF how
Wyck. the trick horse Of the Police Depart
ment, appealed to Commissioner McAdoo
to send him back to Central Park from the
hard dusty streets, people have been calling
on Wyck at the mounted police stables in
the sheepfold in Central Park. Most Of the
callers are women, who give Wyok more
sugar plums than are really good for his
digestion and who pat him and make much

Mr.. McAdoo believes firmly that Wyck
meant Just that and he agrees with Fer
guson that Wyck can do about everything
but talk. He knows Wyck's honorable
record in the Park, a record OF lives saved
by swift running and instant obedience.

His lege are as clean as any Bluegrass Judge

he is as clipper and frisky as Kentucky

SINGERS IN WINTER QUARTERS
TWO OF THE PRIMA DONNAS ARE
KEEPING HOUSE.
Others Are Wrestling With the Steam Heat

Attended by n Polish Cook, SignOr
Caruso by an ItRllan-vignss In = Fiat.

The singers who settl down every year
for six months in this city rarely undertake
the troubles of housekeeping. Sometimes
they 60 to the expense OF bringing Win
them from Europe an entire establishment
Of servants, and life flows smoothly along
for them. In other cases they do not sue
ceed in the experiment.
This year the only two prima donnas
who are keeping house are Americans ana
they naturally find it easier to accommo-
date themselves to the conditions OF lie
in this city than il they were foreigners
They are Nine. Eames and Nine, Nordica.
Nine Eames is settled in one OF the large
apartments Of the Navarro block In West
Fifty-eighth street. From her drawing
room windows you see stretches OF roof
tons as far down as the Flatiron Build
inr and the sun pours into the windows
whenever there is any sun to be seen any
where. Nine. Eames has the prima donna
love OF sunshine and the curtains are al
ways drawn back TO admit as much OF It as
possible.
Mime. Eames rents the apartment FUR
nished from friend, but has brought
fro m her homes in Paris and Vallombrosa
certain souvenirs that give character to
her drawing room. These include photo
graphs OF her colleagues and her family
Accompanying Nine. Eames Ia her in
separable and devoted companion, Miss
Fetredge, who relieves her OF all the bur
dens Of housekeeping.
Nine. Nordica has an apartment on
Madison avenue. 1t is the most splendid
abode that any prima donna has ever had.
Her domestic staff consists Of three Jap
anese servants in addition to her maids.
Nine. Nordica Is leading all her sister
singers in luxury this year and in addition
to these handsome quarters now pos
sesses an automobile and an opera box.
Her home Is further downtown than most
OF the singers live and in a quiet part OF
the city, far from the noise Of traffic and the
sound OF the trolley cars.
Some OF the singers have lived 10 long
in the same hotels that they have become
identified with them. Nine. Sembrich has
lived every year since she came to New
York at the Hotel Savoy. There she has a
Polish cook and every winter has occupied
the same suite OF rooms, which comprises
almost half a floor in the hotel.
Long az she has lived there, Nine. Sem.
brich Is not known by sight to half dozer
persons in the house. She Ia rarely seer
except on her way to her carriage or start
ing for her walk around the Central Park
reservoir.
Nine. Ackta is also a guest OF the Hote
Savoy. and there, too, Mime, Ternina Lives
when in New York. Nine. Ackte Is some
what lonely in this city, az she has come
this year without a oomr anion. Last year
abe was accompanied by compatriot; but
this wintar she decided to make the expert
rnent Of fpendine a winter here alone.
