room the table was exquisite in its dec

piece was basket, and from the arch of
the high handle hung clusters of bride
roses, tied with tulle. From either side Of
the basket were trailing vines of smilax,
making a graceful effect. At the ends Of
the table the smilax formed hearts, in the
center of which were silver candelabra
holding green-capped white bells. The
chandelier above the table was adorned
with cluster of bells tied with tulle.
The basket in the center was filled with
favors appropriate to each guest and

Is a contentment that knows the difference

So today our contentment is satisfied with

We are contented with today as today, but

We are contented with our mistakes of

us on points which needed calculating. else
we should not have made the mistakes.
We are contented with the sorrow of to-

But the pain we take only as a teacher.
We do not lend ourselves to the luxury of

but seldom of blue one. Yet blue was
the color scheme Of a smart affair given
short time ago by hostess, who endeav-
ored to please her guests, even at meal
time.
The table. square one, was covered with
a large centerpiece, embroiderea In the
Canton pattern, with windmill. bridge and
boats. in delft blue, in the center of which
was placed high blue Nankin jar filled
with blue hyacinths. Smaller jars of the
blue Nankin ware held pots of hyacinths
and were placed at the four corners.
The bonbons, dishes and compotes were In
Nankins, and the doylies under each blue
china plate were embroidered to match the
centerpiece. Corsage bouquets of blue hya-
cinths, tied with blue ribbon. were In front
of each place, while the menu and cards
also carried out the blue idea.
At

ter was made with bowl Of goldfish set in
q wreath of flowers. The wreath was made
of as many small bouquets as there were
children, each tied with narrow ribbons
with. long ends. After the refreshments
were served. the children gathered around
the table and to each ribbon was given.
At a signal there was q general pull, and
the pretty wreath broke up into separate
pieces, to the delight of the youngsters

room be considered. but also the style and
dimensions Of the picture. An ordinary and
safe course to adopt is to hang the pictures
in line all around the room. This may
be done when the pictures are all about the
same size Their lower edges should be on
level with the eyes Of the spectator. An
other system is the symmetrical one, in
which balance Is preserved by the pic
lures of large size forming outstanding
points of observation, SO to speak, the
smaller pictures being hung evenly on either
side Of them and leading up to them.
The size of the room must determine the
size of the pictures which are to decorate 1t.
Large pictures dwarf small room, and
the spectator is not able to get far enough
away from the picture to enjoy it's charm.
Remember, then, that spacious rooms re-
quire and do justice to pictures of large
proportions. The same remark applies to
halls. staircases and landings, which, if
small, should be hung with moderate-sized
engravings, sketches or other examples Of
art. as circumstances may determine.
Damp and dust are great enemies to pic
lures; therefore, every precaution should be
possible. No extremely valuable picture
ever. IL possible. should be hung against an
outside wall. nor even on freshly papered
wall until 1T is perfectly dry.
For Ink Spots
On leather chairs try washing the spots
with milk, renewing the milk until it is no
longer stained and the spot on the leather
has disappeared. Then wash with warm
water and when dry polish with boiled lin
seed oil and vinegar mixed in equal proper
lions. An ink stain should be removed as
soon as possible after 1t is made. If 1t has
dried and hardened it is doubtful even IL
with several applications you will be able
to remove it entirely.
To Clean
Glass and globes, wosh them with soap
and water to which little salts Of lemon
has been added. The grease, setting in the
roughness. is hard to remove by soap and
water alone, or even by the help Of soda
After the globes have been washed carefully
do not dry them with q cloth, but after al
lowing the water to run on them for while
let them drain until dry.
Damp Closets.

found to absorb the moisture and render
the air pure. Renew the lime from time to

NO DENIAL AS YER or THE
RAYNoLns RESIGNATION


From Albuquerque Journal.
Santa Fe, ". NJ, July 20.-The ru-
NOR which was current here yester-
day to the effect that the resignation
of J. w. Reynolds, as secretary of New
Mexico, had been called for, has been
somewhat strengthened and made ev-
en- more persistent today from tine
fact that although the rumor has been
printed in the Santa Fe New Mexican
there has thus far been no denial of
its truth by Mr.. Reynolds n any one
else authorized to speak for him, the
New Mexican combining itself tonight
to a somewhat painfully humorous ar
ticle which tends to confirm the belief
here that there is perhaps some foun-
dalton for the Reynolds rumor.
The New Mexican on its eighth
page has the following which could
hardly be called an official denial of
the rumor of Reynolds retirement,
and which for that reason is of in
