When New Workers began turning the
main floor Of their dwellings into foyer
drawing rooms or sitting rooms, Offset
in the larger houses with smaller reception
rooms, visiting young women from the
country realized all at once how much
behind the times their parlors at home
were. and at once set about following the
fashion and having their homes remodelled
Now some OF these maidens wish they
hadn't.
The foyer parlor is all very well for every
use except counting. This can be proved
by one young woman who in confidence
told a city friend that she had not had
a steady admirer since the new style parlor
was introduced into her house. A young
man may see her home from church or
from a sociable, but he refuses to come in.
He says good night at the front o
In the new arrangement OF the house
the main staircase winds mp from the foyer
parlor, which absorbs all the available
space on the main floor not given over TO
the dining room. There was no room for
even the smallest OF reception rooms after
the plans for the new parlor, supervised
by the grown daughter OF the house and
certainly a very smart room indeed, we're
carried out.
No sooner was the smart parlor an accom-
plished fact h the grown daughter
discovered hat she and her beau were in
the public eye not a little, that a sentimental
glance was apt to be frozen by the passage
of a member Of the family up or down stairs,
that a small brother or sister was apt to be
hanging over the banisters long after he
or she was supposed to be fast asleep: in
short, that what the new parlor had gainedin

her young men friends began TO make ex-
cuses and to stay away. and the family
found they could enjoy the new parlor TO
their hearts content without intruding.

In Buying Gloves.

There are more important consid-
erations than their color, and the
number of the buttons. Black gloves
are generally less elastic than white
or colored ones, and cheap grades are
dear at any price. Dressed kid usu-
ally retains its freshness longer and
Is more durable than suede The
best and most serviceable kid Is soft,
yielding and elastic. Aglove so small
that 1t cramps the hand and prevents
grace of motion gives poor service.
Short-fngered gloves are ugly and
certain to break soon between the fin
gers, II not at the tips. The way in
which glove Is first drawn on and
shaped to the hand has much to do
with both its beauty and durability.
Unless you have ample time, do
not have them fitted at the shops, but
at leisure draw them on as here rec
commended and If possible, wear them
half an hour without closing the fin
gers. In buttoning a glove the great
est strain comes upon the first but
ton, so, before attempting to fasten
this, button the others, commencing
with the second one and finish the
first button last.
