A Question OF Hiqh Finance.

The restitution by George W. Perk-

company OF s54.0 19 which includes
the principal sum and interest that
was contributed to the Roosevelt cam
paign fund by that iLstitution, leaves
Chairman Cortelyor, Treasurer Bliss

solely in TIE belief that IL was for the
best and s.oadest interests OF the poll

Mr.. Perkins was the active manager
in these insurance affairs of J. p. Nor

have been expected in return for this

otherwise that the officials and finan-

FOR DECORATION OF HOUSE.
New Ideas That Have Sense OF In.
~dividuality.

Perhaps this is a ti, oIt OF the regu.
lar order Of things. but these ideas
seemed TO me SO good and practical
that thought the department readers
should hear OF them.
The young daughter OF the house
had brought home from time 10 time
specimens Of her w%atcr-color work at
school which were all lone on the
same sized paper and all we're flower
subjects.
They were so good that with a
mothers inspiration she decided to
make them into a frcize for the child's
room. Accordingly. they were put up
separated by inexpensive holding in
TO panels: the side walls were a plain
gray cartridge paper. so che effect was
decidedly harmonious and pleasing.
Then 20 shut ont the view of a too
observing neighbor the window sin
was covered by a board that Just
fitted. then this board was coated with
2 good thickness of cement. which
was obtained from some obliging
workmen who We're laying a walk
in the vicinity. In this cement a row
of decorative cheap English ware
plates were imbedded and on these
plates potted plants stood. making a
most beautiful and effective screen.
In front OF the lavatory in this same
room there was a three-quarters
screen made from strips of u%nbleached
muslin. on which blue prints were
pasted illustrating trips taken. and
the many scenes In which the family
had participated.
Possibly some people do not know
that frlezes suitable for nurseries.
dens and libraries may be obtained
separate from the side wall papers.
and anyone with a sense Of the arts
tic may arrange and transform a
plain, characterless room into one OF
distinct originality.
