The popular velveteens have a soft

Satin seems to be especially dear to
the dressmaker's heart.
Observe the preponderance Of the

Fur boas will not be quite as long

early models.

through no end Of difficulties.
The chiffon veil has new use. It

hanging Pictures.

The greatest stumbling block of the
amateur decorator is the hanging CT
pictures. Excellent taste is required
in this art, true eye and knowl-
edge of suitable combination. For ex-
ample, photographs should never be
mixed with paintings. Have a cor
ner devoted to them and try to form
design in your mind when hanging
the frames. Do not have the square,
oval and panel frames all hung in in
coherent confusion and never mix old
prints with new ones. The fine ef-
feet of a really good old print is often
lost by disregarding this rule. And,
speaking of rules, the first one to OBJ
serve in picture hanging is not 20

aside, and made for the door, but Mr..

by an unexpected display of agility and

heavily that he left his wits behind him.

and novel method of being put to bed or
no, he gave no sign. and in a minute he
was snoring softly like man who might
practice one deep aud vibrating note on
