cHlNrzEs MUCH in FAVOR.
Used In Many Ways for the Deeora
ton of Bedrooms.

Chintzes of all kinds have been a
perfect craze among fashionable wo-
men for some time past No bedroom
ia considered quite up-to-date unless
the furniture is covered with gay-col-
ored chintz and the curtains are made
to match.
A new departure In interior decora-
ton is to have the bedroom walls also
covered with chintz to match the
hangings. Chintz is almost as easily
put on the walls as paper, and the eff
fact is far more attractive.
A bedroom whoch has just been fin
ished for woman was most attract
lively fitted up.
The walls were hung with a pink
and green lowered chintz, which was
finished at the top with pink gimp
put on with brass nails.
The furniture was covered with

Chintz is also used as border with
plain paper below in some bedrooms,
where people do not want to go to
the expense of having the entire wall
covered with material which is a lit

During the early part of the year,
when there is usually considerable &C

candle shade comes in for special
amount of attention. The variety in
these fascinating little additions to
the decorative scheme of the luncheon,
tea or dinner party is already so great
that it would be difficult to find any
thing really new
But there are adaptations of the lat
est and the oldest forms of shade that
possess all the charm of novelty, and
many of these are the prettiest and
daintiest imaginable. Not all are in

The correct attire for having ones
photograph taken this season is an
evening gown cut decollete. Clad in
light colored frock of the newest
filmy material, with trimming of sheer
lace or hand embroidery, any woman
may feel that so far as dress goes her
picture will be correct. The wearing
of big picture hats, with plumes, rib.
bons and velvets, becomingly ar
ranged, which was such a fad a year
or SO ago, is still in vogue. 1t depends
entirely upon the person posing, and
though the majority of photographs
will be taken without these hats, the
latter are an adjunct of picture taking
that will probably always be consid,
cred good form.
The use of furs, provided they are
handsome ones, will again be fashion

placed carelessly around the neck

fur cape or even a long coat thrown
open in front to show the evening cos

doubtless little worn for photographs.

problem. The telephone is a natural
monopoly, for it is to the advantage
of every subscriber that al users of
telephones should be on the same sys-

means that a subscriber must have
more than one instrument, or be out
of communication with part of the
world of telephone-users 1t is diff
cult, however, to adjust human nature
to ideal mechanical conditions. Estab-
iished companies, without rivals, lack
the motive of competition to keep
rates down aud service good. There
fore some communities have welcomed
new companies which promised better
and cheaper service. Dual systems,
like labor strikes, are ON their face
economic losses, yet it may be worth
while to endure the temporary dis
comfort and loss in order to secure
better conditions ultimately The
butcher may be on one system and
the baker on another, yet low rates
may bring two instruments within the
previous cost of one, and may so in
crease the number of subscribers

serbs the other, the community may
have become so well established in
low rates that the surviving company
dare not raise them. On the other
hand says the Youths Companion, the
effect of competing companies is
sometimes merely to divide the tele-
pbone-users OF a community without
adding many to the total number, and
IL the companies then make an agree
ment TO keep rates up, the community

Match Ven and FACE.

Black wells must not be worn with
very light hats or gowns unless there
is touch of black somewhere about
the costume. Match the hat in the
veil whenever it is possible, but don't
make a fright of yourself in doing it.
For instance, blue veil is apt to
make a woman with bright color
look purple, especially If the mesh is
