This letter is published in full, as
it is of general interest The colors
selected for the dining-room and par
lor are in pleasing contrast, giving
variety and individuality to each room
without producing a worried or rest
less appearance. In regard to the
selection of pictures, the writer is
correct in feeling there should be
suitability in this, as in all other mat
tiers pertaining to the identifying of
the home. Great paintings heavily
framed would dwarf small and sim

graphic copies of well-known paint

hung in groups, or singly, according
to the importance of the subject.

Afraid to Tackle Us.

The refusal of the Flies to even
attempt to design another yacht to
race for the America cup is perhaps
the finest tribute that has ever been
paid to Yankees by their cousins
across the water.
A letter received from abroad by a
Boston yachtsman says that respect
for Yankee ability in yacht designing
has developed into sort of supersti-
tious dread among foreign builders
and sailors as well. The same letter
saws that the German Emperor, who
for time considered the possibility
of challenging for the cup, has also
given up the idea At Iittanys, IN

Russian Dishonesty

There is now resident i'll New York
a man who had much to do with the
construction of the Trans-S Siberian
railway, and who, therefore, learned
something about the honesty of the
Russian official-or, rather, learned
something about the vacuum which
exists in the Russian official in the
place where his honesty ought to be.
He believes that many of the Rus
sian reverses may properly be attrib-
uted to corruption in high places, and
tells, in support of his belief, some
thing about the supplies sent to Port
Arthur. Inasmuch as he was charged
with the supervision of the delivery
of a part of these supplies, it may be
considered that he speaks with knowl-
edge.
He related the other day that one
of the first trains carrying ammuni-
ton to Port Arthur was laden with
cartridges for the rapid-fire guns.
Something like sixty thousand such
cartridges were delivered in one con-
Segment. On investigation by the
officers at the fortress it was found
that not one of them was loaded with
ball although the contract called for
projectiles in each one, Of course. The
money had been stolen which repre-
scented the difference between blank
aud loaded cartridges.
He has no doubt that similar frauds
were perpetrated with the ammunition
for small arms. Thus it is possible
that in some of the engagements
where the Russian loss has been so
tremendous and the Japanese loss so
small. the Russians have been firing
harmless salutes instead of sending
death-laden volleys.

THE choice of pictures and
hanging them so as to gain
i the best effects is matter
of interest to many CORE
spondents of this department. The
answer to the following letter, there
fore, will serve as an answer to
several:
The Cottager" writes: ct have
been told that it is better to do with
out pictures in my rooms if I cannot
afford the best. Now, l dearly love
to see pictures upon the walls about
me. l am not now, and can never
hope to be, able to afford the best.
Anyway, it seems to me that it would
be inappropriate to hang the best
work of the best artists in my little
cottage home. I feel sure you can
suggest something that is within my
means.
Il have just papered and reprinted

paper to the plate rail, and above, to
the white ceiling, used the pine tree
pattern in blue on white which you
have recommended. The woodwork
in both rooms is of pine, stained the
color of mission oak. 1t has a dull
surface. The floors of both rooms
are covered with plain dark blue
denim. I used the heavy paper lining
under this. The seams of the denim
are Tapped and stitched twice.

I can afford it. For the parlor I have
used an old set of walnut furniture

This taffeta has a tan color back

color of the furniture is darker than
the mission oak wood stain, but it |
harmonizes perfectly. My bedroom

walls are papered in green and white
paper, and the ceiling pure white. The
woodwork is all finished with leaf
green enamelacq. I took this on your
recommendation, and it looks very
well. I also treated a wicker couch |
with it, and on the latter have used |
a plain green denim tufted pad. Please
tell me what colored pillows to use
here. I am much pleased with the
room, but it has little too much |

The guest-room (northeast) has a
paper with pale pink roses and green

picture, the paintings upon the walls
are evidently the motif around which
the room is planned. The color
scheme of rich old blue is taken from
the rarely beautiful color of the
drapery in the great painting at the
right The whole coloring of the
room is richly beautiful and soft. The
arrangement of the furniture is attrac-
tive, and the color effect of the room
is strengthened and accumulated by
the green tones of the dining-room be-
yond. The effect of the coloring IN
one room upon another should be a
serious consideration in house fur
nishing. However beautiful each
room may be in itself, the individual
beauty is destroyed when they do not
compose we'll together.

Flat Boas and Pe1erines

The new ostrich and maribout fiat
boas and pelerines are wider than
ever, more extravagant in coloring
and command an exorbitant price.
Some of them are eighteen inches in
width, and have decided cape effect
in the back and over the shoulders.
This cape is in deep shade of the
coloring selected, and the stole-ends
fade gradually until at the tips they
are almost pure white. The favorite
colorings are American Beauty red,
fading to a pinkish white, burnt
orange fading to palest lemon, and
rich seal brown fading to a white that
suggests both pink and chocolate
color.
