twenty-four pints Of hot water, the
larger ones being intended for camp
purposes. Still smaller ones for parlor
and table use are fitted with small tea
kettles.
Metal trays with removable glass
slides laid over the bottom are intended
to hold collection Of tobacco ribbons,
stamps, or monograms. These are stuck
on with a transparent glue, with
background Of bright red. An idea
more attractive to the housekeeper, if
not to the collector, is to use them
for the mounting Of a choice bit of
tapestry or an old sample or bit Of
brocade from some old dress which one
wishes to keep. They come in all sizes
and would be pretty for brush and
comb trays with embroidered linen
slipped under them to match the bureau

In the Parkor

n OR giving style to the room which
must serve as living groom and re-
Il ception-ro room at the same time
there is no one note 50 effective as the
proper ftting-up and placing of the
piano. Where room will admit it should
be drawn across the corner, and the first
essentials for this arrangement are the
drapery and the arranging Of lighting
facilities back of it.
The light is most easily and simply
managed by attaching small candele-
bra Of two or three candles to the front
Of the piano itslf, putting it in at the
low point at the left where the light
falls upon the music. With electric
lights this can be easily managed, or
without it candles will well repay for
artistic effect.
To the fastidious taste the little metal
touch given by the candelabra is empha-
sized in way worth while by the addi.
tion Of hanging handles in the same de
sign and material. These are put on at
each end Of the instrument and have
their raison d'etre in the saving Of
fngermarks with every change Of posi-
tion.
The drapery is managed with two
materials a soft silk, which is gath
cred over the back or rather the front
surface and heavy embroidered strips
which are used as a narrow frieze across
the top, and corresponding bane
across the bottom.
These hold the drapery silk in place

For the Baby

-OR AN apartment baby is a little
r folding bathtub and cot combined,
4 which is SO simple Of construction
that it could be made in the house. 1t is
made something like cot bed, and the
legs are crossed and pivoted together,
in the middle, on a center bar which
reaches from one end to the other. The
side bars are fastened to the top of
the legs. Smaller bars also join the
legs near the bottom, to strengthen
them.
The legs are thirty inches long, and
the side bars thirty-six inches long, the
former being made of strips about an
inch and half square, and the side
bars Of little thinner stripping about
two inches wide. The tub is made of a
piece Of rubber cloth, which is yard
and a quarter long and about thirty
inches wide. The selvage is tackled to
the outside Of the side bars with brass
headed tacks, and the ends Of the
cloth are hemmed and drawn up with
braid. This is pulled up to about
eighteen inches and securely fastened
at the corners, forming the ends Of the
tub, which is shaped like hammock. !.
A small plait is taken at each corner
about an inch from the end, which gives
little more depth to the water. Il
can be folded up and slipped out Of the
way in the bathroom, and, with a
pillow, makes comfortable little bed

Cleaning Laces

r ACES should be cleaned accord
ing to the material Of the
- lace. Silk lace should be
stretched evenly over small, clean,
thin wooden boards and laid over
night in warm milk, This should
be rinsed out in fresh, warm water and
it should be soaked as many hours more
in a strong solution Of soap. At the
last it should be rinsed thoroly without
rubbing.
Linen lace should be wrapped on a
bottle which has first been covered
with muslin or flannel. After the lace
is stretched on, piece Of coarse, open
crinoline should be stretched over it
and sewed lightly. Soak the bottle in
lukewarm water and rub the outside
wrapping with soap and piece Of fan
mel. Afterwards steep the bottle for
some hours in soft, clean water. It may
then be dipped in a thin starch water
and rolled between dry towels. After
it is taken off the bottle press it be.
tween napkin.
To starch nice laces first squeeze
them thru soap suds and rinse. Add
bluing to the starch If you wish them
white or few teaspoonfuls Of clear
coffee if you wish them yellow. Squeeze
out Of the starch and roll up in towels
Pull gently into shape every little while

Thanksgiving Decoration

~RUIT candle shades are made
r for Thanksgiving decoration by
Il painting fruit designs on pa
per and cutting away the spaces
between the patterns. Designs in
which the stems and leaves form
a trellis work should be used, and
the more cutting out the scheme admits
of the better. The frame chosen is the
simple style in which there are two cir
cles, smaller above a larger, and in
which the shades has fat surface and
sloping sides. The wire Is then covered
, with thin silk gathered to both edges,
the color being chosen to contrast pref
tily or to harmonize with the fruit
scheme. Lattice designs are good, and
plums, peaches, oranges and grapes are
painted to trail all over lattice work.
Flowers. such as pansies, wisteria,
peonies, roses, and chrysanthemums, are
painted In brilliant and natural color
3ngs, and the stems are twined in and
out to form the intersections.
A pretty idea is to match the shade
decoration in the flowers Of the center
piece, using glass candle sticks and set
ting the center one into great mass OF
the flowers, which are SO arranged as to
bank around it without vase or bowl
being visible. Chrysanthemums in red,
and while, and yellow shades make a
lovely combination in which the lining
can be Of the lighter color and the
most Of the outer decoration in the
dark.
The painting IS done with water col
ors, but when this is too laborious a
process wall paper can be used, and can
\ be found in many latticed patterns
which are even more effective than the
water colors.

and If the piano is to be perfectly
.caparisoned there should be designed at
the same time another broad strip,
which is lined, folded over envelop-
fashion, and laced together into music
cover for permanent use on the rest.
There are all sorts Of latitude in the
choice Of decoration. The least elabor-
ate plan is to choose linen, having it
stamped in design that would lend
itself to the ordinary long and short
COUGHING stitches, and which can be
carried out in heavy rope silk.
In Louis XVI. parlor, in white and
old rose, a design of ribbon-work was
done after this fashion for the piano
the little wreaths, garlands, and hang
Ing baskets of the Louis XVI. patterns
being worked in rose and mahogany
colored ribbon on a white MORE. Soft
rose silk and cords finished the decora

tiful In itself but must also be of value
to the scheme Of decoration.
Any color need may be met in artistic
potteries where there are many selec-.,
tions at small cost, especially in the
beautiful and inexpensive American,
kinds. In room which is kept to one
or two harmonious colors one good piece
Of pottery may be made to raise the.
whole room from the level Of the ordi-
nary to that Of distinct beauty simply
by intensifying the color tone.
The relation to the whole must be
mainly effected in the color, and a gem
eral fitness, as keeping to one period
and country, is only possible to the con-
tinuous art student.
But if, when buying with definite
ideas of color and effect, one follows
the rule Of insisting upon obtaining .
bit Of china or pottery which is Of the
distinctive style Of the factory by
which it was made, there is great step
gained. For instance, If the green's and
grays of bit of Wedgwood should fit
into niche of your room you will find
just now particularly a greater selec-
tion in a snowy pottery which initiates
1t In colOrS and treatment, but which
runs to fantastic shapes and to a forid
Italian style in its cameo work. The
habit of associating each piece ever 50
slightly with its make and history soon
brings the discrimination which makes
this piece horror, while the other Is
an endless satisfaction.
There always is meaning and ex-
preston to piece as made by its orig
inator which is absent from the imita-
tion. For instance, the high glazed
Copenhagen and faience Of other north
ern countries have the grays and cold
blues and whites of their atmosphere.
It also has the conventionalized pat
terms of the sparse animal and vegetable
life of northern lands. The clever imi-
tations which the Austrian potteriel
have worked out ON similar lines fail to
suggest this, altho its work may satiate
the eye with attractiyeness and color.
The observer who trusts to the feel
ing that he has for thing when he
looks at it is in fair way to become
connoisseur. Without knowing why
the eye fingers and the mind focuses
upon the good, while it IS confused By
the overornate.

- RYNESS Of the hair accompa-

~ RYNESS OF the hair accOmpa-
MES but does not cause
O grayness. It Is, like gray
ness, the result Of certain nervous
disturbances within and, unlike it, can
be corrected by artificial means. Oil,
glycerin and petroleum are the three
lubricating substances which are best
for the purpose. A good mixture is
olive oil and an equal quantity of liquid
vaseline with one-eighth part Of recti-
fed spirits containing Few drops Of
tincture Of myrrh and glycerin added.
This oily mixture rubbed into the
the roots Of the hair is beneficial to a.
certain extent to the nervousness which
is the cause Of grayness. It is not
understood generally that tho color Of
the hair, and to some extent tho COM
plexion, is dependent upon the condi-
tion Of the nervous system. The ner-
vous disturbances which give rise to
such pain as persistent neuralgia are
the same that later cause the hair to
change in color. It often is noticed
that patches Of whiteness appear In the
hair in spots where pain has been To-
Gated. ....
The person with nervous, excitable or
artistic temperament usually is inclined
to early whitening Of the hair, while
grayness often appears to be entirely
retarded when relief from mental worry
has set in.
AS a general thing the most that can
be done to make luxurious growth for
tho hair is done for it In childhood. It
never should be allowed to outgrow its
strength and to exhaust the energies Of
tho follicies at it's roots without being
properly clipped and pruned. This also
