ON SELECTION on Wall PAPERS

She is a very careless housekeeper
who does not take great interest in her
house at this season. With rooms
frightened with new paint and paper
and freshly laundered curtains, a
charm Of novelty exists for some weeks
to come. There is a pleasurable ex-
citement in selecting the decorations
of rooms, and this year the wall papers
are especially beautiful. A pattern
favored for a room not broken by many
windows and doors represent vines or
shrubbery running toward the top of
the room, where the design ends in a
mass of bloom. A rose paper with
branches Of green leaves tipped with
crimson or pink roses Is cheerful
selection and suggests delightful
scheme of carrying out the same idea
in furnishings. would suggest. how
ever, that instead of trying TO match
the paper with cretonne, the crimson
and green be used as touches of color
instead of being brought again into
great prominence in the cushions and
draperies.
This style of wall paper is used large
ly in bed rooms, and of course the eff
feet is not improved by being broken
up with little passee partout pictures
or in fact by anything hung on the
walls. The same paper can be used ON
cottage dining rooms where the fuIni-
ture used is not heavy. 1t might, how
ever, be carried to the plate rail in
more imposing rooms and the space
above be treated with plain paper as
for the plates, stein, etc,
used as a decoration. But by all means
avoid the effect of framed pictures or
Of china suspended amid vines and
trees.
The value of tile or washable papers
is also recognized for bath rooms and
but they are equally good for
back stairs and narrow halls where
the walls are liable to be defaced by |
hands resting against them.-Man-

HATS MADE OF WOOD.

The Japanese are experts in the man

this country. According to dealer
in these goods they are made Of wood,
but so thin and pliable is the fiber that

are made of this material. 1t has the
texture of fine satin, but is really

JAPANESE WOMEN.

The Japanese woman is in many re-
spects like her Western sister. though
her methods OF carrying out the same
IDEAS may seem to be so different. For
Instance while the Japanese woman
could not be induced to tight lace her
waist, she binds up her loins so tightly
that she cannot walk, but must just
shuttle. Though her clothes. too, seem
to be free from ornament, she has her
methods Of being ornamental, and even
extravagant.
For instance, every time her hair IS
taken down two hours are spent in re-
dressing it, and nothin. would induce
her to go TO picnic threatre
without popping into tie .eaves Of her
kimono her little dressing case made of
scarlet brocade, which contains her
steel mirror and dimunitlve boxes OF

Hemstitcing for table linen, etc, Is

Brooklyn Times.
Starched table linen may justly be
termed an abomination. A much bet

dry, it will not be at all stiff, will not
show the pattern satisfactorily and

NEEnLE USED RY Mes.

The masculine equivalent Of the word
needlewoman probably is not found in
any grammar or dictionary. Yet the
use of the needle by men is not at all
uncommon. Sewing is a masculine
occupation in india, and without going
so far afield "needlemen" may easily
be found In Europe the art Of needle
craft has some illustrlous male devo-
tees. The Grand Duke of Hesse is
devoted to embroidery, and among the
treasured possessions of Queen Alex
andra is magnificent shawl crocheted
by the Crown Prince of Denmark. ].
Cathcart Wason, the representative of
Orkney and Shetland Islands in the
British House of Commons, knits his
own stockings, and only the chatting
of fellow members has deferred him,
it is said, from plying the knitting
needles in the smoking room of the
House of Commons. Gerald Balfour,
nephew of the British Premier, is also
fond of knitting, while Victor Bowring
Hanbury seeks mental relaxation in
fine embroidery.

 The Indians of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are race apart .Ethnolo- gists say that the beauty of the women of the Zapotecan race, the principal people of the isthmus, is excelled only by the women of the Samoan Islands of the Pacific, says Modern Mexico.
 The principal ornament of a well dressed Zapotecan, aside from her rings of various sorts, is her necklace Of American gold coins. Nothing but American gold is ever used. British soverigns, French, German and even the present small percentage of Mexi- can gold coins are all disdained and American gold is bought at a high premium in order that it may adorn the necks of the bells of the isthmian metropolis.
 These coins are fastened together with gold wires and chains, making a very showy it not beautiful ornament. Every centavo a woman can save goes into her store against the time when she can buy another coin to add to her necklace. Half eagles and double eagles are fastened together in this

TTMELY AND USEFUL,

It always gives us pleasure to publish useful and timely information, and it gives us especial pleasure to be early and useful with the fashions for pet dogs. Mrs. Pearce, high London au- thority on dog fashions, has just said her say. Ladies, she remarks, ''are now seeking my advice as to what their little darlfngs shall wear in winter. For driving in the park or making calls, I am recommending that doggy should wear a neat tailor-made coat to supersede the sealskin jackets of last winter. This new coat is specially de- signed to protect the dogs chest while in the carriage or motor car. The handkerchief, by the way-and every well"cared-for pet has one-is now sometimes carried in a purse at the end of the leash, It is the newest thing of the kind and comes from Paris"
 In the matter of perfumes, Mrs. Pearce thinks that the household pet should use the scent that the mistress uses, and as regards jewelry, a few diamonds scattered over the collar, with the family crest added, would be about the proper caper. Boots for dog gie have about gone out of fashion, says Mrs. Pearce, as they have a ten- dency to make the feet look large.
 We don't know yet what high-toned cats are going to wear this winter, but just as soon as we do we shall give our readers the news.
