LIGHTING THE ROOM
A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
THE HOME.
side Lights Increase Apparent Size Of
Apartment-kerosene Still Used
for Reading Lamps-Fernery
for Dining Table.

OF the various problems of furnish
ing house, the question of lighting is
an important factor. For rooms of
some height it is generally agreed
that the invisible source of light is
the best. This means concealed lights,
high above the eye, that reflect upon
the ceiling and then throw a soft light
down over the whole room High cell
ings, however, are not built in the
ordinary house, and, therefore, would
be impracticable for domestic USE The
apparent size of rooms in an apart
ment or house may be considerably
increased by using side lights instead
OF the regulation chandelier. A pair
may be placed near the piano, another
over corner seat or against book
case, and so on, to give light where
specially needed.
Some consider. however, that a
house is not properly lighted where
side fixtures alone are used. Low CEN
trail lights are often a necessity, and
these requirements are best met by
lamps or drop-lights. Even where
electricity and gas are used kerosene
is still popular. 1t provides a steadier
and softer light for reading. Many of
the lamps of to-day are handsome to
look at. but give a poor light for read
ing or sewing. No form of electric
bulb has yet been designed that in its
unshaded form is beautiful or artistic.
The ordinary bulb needs a covering
that will give beauty, and the shade
must be carefully considered.
Nothing piyae tba dining tabla a
more cheerful appearance than a few
flowers or fernery. So popular has
the custom become that the filling of
ferneries is large part of the florists
business. They should be made with
an outer and inner receptacle. The
inner case can be taken out and re-
moved from the table whenever wa
tering is necessary. Stand the ferns
in the dish first and then carefully fill
in the soil between the plants, press
ing it down firmly and evenly. Ferns
will not grow in the common garden
soil, but should have rich soil from
the woods. The common hardy green
house varieties are the best plants to
buy. Whatever receptacle is selected
it should not be less than three inches
deep.
Several new and attractive sand
wich filings are suggested: Take
green peppers, remove seeds, chop fine
and simmer for ten minutes in butter
Add a dash of salt and cool. Spread
between thin slices of lightly buttered
bread; cover with a layer of grated
American cream cheese.
Mince fine cold boiled ham, chop fine
some peanuts, using half the amount
of ham. For every cupful of ham use
a heaping tablespoonful of minced
sour pickles and half a cupful of
chopped celery. Mix to a good paste
with salad dressing.
Chop very fine blanched almonds,
add cream cheese and chopped olives.

one desires to have them look little

even possible, and very practical as
well. to cover the entire frame with
soft fowered silk shirred gracefully
over the ribs of the frame. A set OF
half a dozen or eight of these frames,
all daintiry covered, would make a
most acceptable gift They can be
placed on a shelf of the closet which
is deep enough to hold hats. or If the
shelf will not hold more than three or
four two shelves may be used. This
arrangement keeps ones hats in shape
and ready to don at a moments notice
II thin curtain is hung over the front
of the shelves the possibility OF dust
getting on ones hats is reduced con-
siderably.
Other hat rests are made of wood,
with circular base about six inches
in diameter and heavy enough to keep
the frame firm, and then, with a
smaller circle of wood, placed hori-
zontally and at the top of small con-
Meeting wooden brace which joins the
centers of the base and top. The en-
tire rest is covered with fine cretonne
or silk. The base and top are padded
with cotton and delicately scented.
Some have little flutings and frills OF
silk around the circles for the crown
of the hat to rest on.
Rests should not be very high-not
more than an inch over what the hat
actually requires to keep it raised
from the shelf, and If one has trail
ing blume then the rest for this hat
should be high enough for the plume
to be entirely clear or else give 1t a
place on the shelf where it will lie
without being interfered with by the
other hats and their trimmings.

MAKES GOOD CALENDAR FRAME.
Pretty Design viii Provide Amuse-
ment for Skillful Fingers.

pretty design for frame for
calendar is shown in the accompany
ing sketch, and 1t can be easily made
by skillful fingers. Stout cardboard, or
even thin wood, should be used for
the foundation, and this should be
slightly padded with cottonwood in
front and then covered in silk or any
pretty material we fancy. The space
for the calendar must be, of course,
previously cut out. A printed calendar,
suitable for fastening at the back of
frame of this kind, can be obtained

The Noseqay Fashion.

That very charming habit of wear
ing bouquet of flowers tucked into
the corsage is again universal among
the best dressed women, only as often
as not the flowers worn are artificial.
A bunch of malmaisons, of roses, or
of violas is modish. The first-named
blossoms wear well, and so real ones
are chosen in preference to made
ones; but roses soon droop and violas
cannot always be obtained, SO in their
case artificial blossoms are preferred.

CHAPTER V.-continued.

But few minutes after, Barnes sud
denly remarks that he wants some
more cartridges for his pistols, and
obtaining the cutter is rapidly rowed
to the landing and disappears in the
sixteenth century architecture of the
town.
Consequently, when Marina and Enid
come on deck, the latter discovers her
swain is absent and, being now in
clined to find fault with her gallant,
pouts mentally: Burton might have
asked If I'd like a run on shore also"
But both boats being now at the
landing, the ladies are compelled to
spend their time rather monotonously
looking at the picturesque little port,
though Marina does little of this. The
very sight of France seems in some
occult manner to alright the beauti-
full woman as she leans upon her hus-
bands arm. To him she whispers,
nervously: "Will we get to Nice to-
day?"

she answers. ambiguously; and clings
more tightly to his arm.
During this, Miss Anstruther, rather
moodily with a marine glass inspects
the neighboring fishing boats in the
roadstead, some of these seagoing
craft. Among them is one whose
graceful lateen rig attracts the Eng
lish girls attention. Having little
else to do, the young lady several
times puts her binocular upon the
lateen-rigged fishing boat. and in the
course of two hours weary waiting,
becomes quite familiar with its grace
full outlines and rig.
About this time Parnes returns in
the cutter and is not overgraciously
welcomed by his fiancee, who, though
generally level-headed. has now nursed
the slight that she conceives her love
and trust had received yesterday, into
fervid jealousy under which each un-
Intentional omission of service in her
betrothed is an additional offense.
Together they pass a tiresome hour
till Leboeuf makes his appearance in
the dingy.

To this Edwin gives slight heed. He

dingy hoisted up, has broken ground
with his anchor and the Seagull is un
