A Novel Dining Room.

\ bright little woman of artistic tastes
recently found herself the mistress of 4
tiny cottage i'll which there was no din
ing room. Her husbands bank account
permitted the building of Il new room
l4X16 feet square but left a very small
margin for tinishings and furnishings.
They were young people who came of
good families, possessed a large circle of
friends and Were fond of entertaining
so that the dining room must be the CEN
ter of the home. Since an attempt to
make cheap copy of the dining rooms
OF her friends could only end in disaster,
she resolved to have something original
and entirely different.
In pursuance of this idea she had the
walls. with tue exception of an eighteen
men frieZe at the top, finished in hard
Tough kalSomlne. colored strongly with
red aniline. which gave rich rose tint
rs uncommon as it was beautiful. All
the wood work of the room, whica was
OF pine, plain and heavy, was finished
with dull stain Of lamp black and lin
seed oil rubbed in with Il flannel cio:k
&c bring out every line of the grain.
ne carpenter who put in the wood
work was retained for few DAYS longer
and built a sideboard. dining table and
chairs Of pine which were then stained
to match the woodwork All were of the
very simplest design. The table, for
wide, which folded over and Joined in
the center of the top when not in use
The legs of the talle, as well ms the
frame of the Sideboard, were made of
material four inches square. the chairs
from pieces two inches square.
The frieze was painted yellow-gray
tint. with ii design of eris in yellow and
creamy white, the leaves being in gray
green.
This room needed no pictures or deco
rations of any kind, its simplicity being
its chief charm. Its we'll chosen china
dainty linen and two or three ported
ferns are sufficient 1t looks cool and
clean in summer and warm and cosy in
winter, and many guest who could af-
ford to spend the cost of it all in morn
ing's shopping, goes home to her own
elegant and overcrowded rooms with Il
sense of dissatisfaction which she hardly
knows how to define Men and Women.

POLO
LOCAL TEAM
 STRENGTHENED Tamny Holderness and Two Fast Rushers Have Been Signed
 By Waterbury.

Waterbury is to have polo team that is certainty. for Manager Me- MahOn returned from up Massachu- setts way yesterday with the names of three crackerjacks attached to contracts. One of the three is our old friend. Tommy Holderness. who was once the pride of the local fans when he played here before. Tommy has been playing with Taunton on Dickey Pierce's team and the papers up that way speak in glowing terms of his work. He will all his old posi- tion at halfback. The other two are Bob Loxson, the first rush of the Taunton team, and Kid Murray, sec ond rush. Both those fellows are fast and clever polo players and have been setting the Massachusetts fans wild with their good work. That ought to make pretty good team for Waterbury with Loxson and Mur- ray, rushers, Johnny Griffin at cen ter, Holderness at halfback and John Allen at goal. Certainly the old fans and the new ones ought to give Tommy Holderness the glad hand when he appears here New Years afternoon in the opening game of the league in this city.
