FOR UP-TO-DATE PoRTIERs.
Soft Quality of Moreen the Most Ef-
fective Yet Devised.

Moreen is n of the latest fabrics
to be used for portiers or heavy cur
tains. A soft quality must be secured,
as, of course, a stiff weave of the ma
terial would hang in u%ngraceful lines.
The MORE effect is very fashionable
just now in wall hangings of all sorts,
n the moreen will be found quite
purpose. The only advantage of silk
is, in fact, the softness of the folds. II
care is exercised in the selection of
the proper quality, the moreen will
serve equally well in this regard. To
make the portieres full and rich they
should be lined and even interlined.
For the latter purpose a cheap canton
flannel will do or any old curtain ma
terial which has been in use, provided
it is very soft and not too bulky. The
main thing is that it should have no
~unevenness whatever. The lining may
be of soft silk, s~ateen, satin or silko-
line.
The curtains may be in n shade
which is harmonious with the room.
but in cream, deep ivory or dull greens
or blues the material is at its best.
These curtains are suitable for rooms
the walls of which are hung with satin
or brocade or with fine satin finished
paper. For drawing rooms and sim
ilarly elaborate apartments they are
entirely in place.
For libraries, dining rooms, ETC., rep
curtains are very fashionable. They
are used in all the old rep colors. dull
wine color and dark green being the
favorites. Usually they are trimmed
with wide bands of figured material,
which are set in as a border.
For bedrooms where they can be
tremendously employed the favorite
portieres are made of delicately flow
cred chintz, usually having a white or
light tinted background, with scat
tered flowers and a more heavily flow
cred border which goes across the bot.
tom and up the sides.

RATHER A POINTED REHuKE.
Minister'S Amendment to Usual Grace
Fitted circumstances.

A Pennsylvania divine formed n
OF q house-party in Philadelphia
where the younger son, in accordance
with what the clergyman observed to
be his constant habit, as soon as he
had seated himself at breakfast i'm
mediately possessed himself of a large
slice Of bread, the quality Of which he
proceeded to test by a liberal mouth
full.
The minister, a stickler in such mat
ters of propriety, gazed blandly at
him for a moment or SO; then he fold.
ed his hands and closed his eyes in
preparation for grace.
For what we are about to receive"
he intoned with painful emphasis,
"and for what our young friend has
already received, Lord, make us truly
thankful."-Harpers Weekly.

JUST WANTED TO see MONEY.
Then italian Woman Was Satisfied Il
MAJ All Right.

A savings bank Is never a very
cheerful place. To one smiling young
matron putting aside the ~proverbial
NEST egg." or, still more, smiling
young mothers depositing in trust for
the first baby, there are ten sad-faced
women in black, many Of them with
widows wells.
This was especially true recently
when the panic sent anxious deposit
ors by the hundreds to draw out their
small savings, and it was therefore es-
pecially refreshing to e in that
crowding somber line not Lola from
Berlin" but Marguerite from Italy, a
trim, b~right-eyed little woman with a
scarlet handkerchief around her neck
and her uncovered, glossy. black locks
puffed and braided and curled as II

She waited patiently-even cheer
fully-as slowly foot by foot she ap-
preached the paying teller's desk. but
it was two o'clock before her turn
came. She began to look weary. but
she gave the wearier man behind the
little window a coniding smile as
she handed him her bank book and
said:

He glanced at the book and count.

woman.
The teller nodded.
She fingered the bills. looking more
puzzled. The woman behind her was
almost crying with Impotence. The
bricks and some one had hit the lasI
brick in the row. Still Marguerite
folded and unfolded the bills: she had
all the repose of her native land.
"You sure" she said at last. you
sure these all mine

Ordinarily he would have told her
she was blocking the line, but this
day he saw no objection to the delay.
She ventured one more question:
you sure these mine-these dollars?

These are all yours" he assured
her emphatically.
She flashed him a glimpse of white
teeth.
"All right, them she said, idiomat-
ically. ''Tony-my mamie tell me
my money not here. He say, take it
all out l say: L go see.'"
Then untying the corner of a red
handkerchief and taking from it. a
ive-dollar gold piece and several
grimy bills she added them to the pile
in front of her and pushed the whole
toward the astonished bank official.

How He Did IL,

Early in the morning session, when
the pupils were feeling bright and
happy, the teacher thought it a good
rect, both as to grammar and sense.
She accordingly wrote on the black
board:
"The hen has four legs. He
done it."
Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the
foot of the class, pondered deeply, and
at the end of Is minutes time, allowed
for correction, he wrote:
He didn't done it; God done it."

A Brides Little Scheme.

Nearly all brides are getting sore

cause they always get so much more

jeweler recently, but I never heard of
one going SO far to block the cut glass
as a little bride that was In here the
other day.
she told me her name and asked
me If / wouldn't keep my ears cooked
for any customer who might come in

cut glass. She said she had been to two

made in very. very full gagged skirts,
almost recalls the housemaids' skirts
of some 80 years ago. The simple
babe corsage is also fully gagged at
the neck and waist, and a soft liberty

allowed to fall to the hem of the skirt.

Preachers C~omfortino Remarks.

At an evening prayer meeting in a
Maine village the senior deacon,
Dominicus Jordan, arose to make ap-
propriate scriptural remarks about
the death of the late Miss Simpkins.
In conclusion the deacon said: Il re-
spected Miss Simpkins, the members
of this church respected Miss Simp-
kins, the citizens of this town re-
spected Miss Simpkins, but now she's
dead and gone to the Lord, and the
scripture saith, The Lord is no re-

Truth and

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it ~cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
