FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

A dainty bedroom has a wonderful
charm to the average woman, yet We see
none too many where the possibilities
have been realized. There is a sameness
about such rooms that does not speak
well for feminine. ingenuity. The accept
ed bed covering is a fiounced affair with a
round bolster covered to match. and the
usual window dTapeTy is muslin. ruffied
and leOped back in conventional fashion.
wish the owners of such rooms could
see a few that have come 10 my notice
quite by accident.
one room I remember well had quaint
wall paper in the dull pink tones, con-
ventionalized poppies on n cream white
background The room was painted
white, but the door panels were pink of
the faintest shade in the wall paper, and
the narrow casing about them was cream
white Cream madras window draperies
trimmed with bali fringe matched the
bed cover and sham. which tucked over
the pillows at the top. The floor was
covered with fine mating of the same
general color as the paper.
The toilet covers were white and green.
the dull shades sparingly used in the wall
paper. and the toilet articles were white
ivory. perhaps. though celluloid would be
quite as effective The room was lovely
and distinctive. which Is better. In the
same house was a bed with a valance of
muslin in pinhead dots and a dream Of a
coverlet knitted by hand and finished
with knotted fringe. II was an heirloom,
as were the hemstitched sheets and pill
low cases that went with IL. There were
draperies OF bright chintz hanging in
straight folds each side Of the muslin
draped windows ana chintz-cOvered box
IS beneath the windows with frilled mus
lin covered pillows.
The rugs were green and white cot
ton and the dressing table was fitted
out with Dresden china. The covers for
bureau and plncushion were of frilied
muslin. and the pink and red Of the
Dresden were repeated In the shades OF
the candles in ol1-fashioned holders on
each side OF the dressing table. ] have

Light office this morning TO endorse
what the paper said yesterday with
reference TO a hospital for this city.
He said there was no reason why

The number of persons who 20
Annually from Ellis county TO sani-

more than defray the expenses OF
maintaining a modernly equipped

Waxahachie in one of the sanitariums
at Dallas The majority OF these went
there to submit 10 operations.
