A Blue and White Bedroom.

Some useful hints may be found IN
the following from the WOman's Mag
aZ1ne:
A hostess was recently showing some
friends her newly decorated bedroom,
and when they enthusiastically declared
it was the prett1est bedroom they had
ever seen, she astonished them by say
ing; well, l can tell you now it was
cone, for did it every bit myself. Not
a thing IN the room suited me, and l
uldnt have much money to return1sh
with, SO | had to- do a lot Of thinking.
Fred said he would help me paper,
SO l selected this pattern OF trell1s
design in small pink roses on a blue
background. We ran this up two
thirds Of the way and finished with
drop ceiling Of cream MORE paper,
putting the picture molding at the juno
r1on OF the two papers.
The bedroom set was Of ugly cheap
wood and had always hated it, SO 1
took off the varniSh with strong lye
water, taking care not to get it on the
mirror. Then | sandpapered it smooth
and gave it two coats Of white paint
anr later two coats Of white enamel,
letting each coat dry thoroughly before
applying the next.
The window curtains are made of
scrim, bought by the yard and hemmed,
making inch hens at the sides and
three-1nch ones at the bottom. [ made
these to fall straight from brass rods,
and to come just below the window sill.
Then from plain blue chambray I cut
bands an inch wide when done, and
stitched two rows around the curtains.
starting the first band three inches
from the edge, and letting it run
straight down to the bottom of the
curtain. he second band was one and
half inches farther in | ran a band
across the bottom Of each curtain.
lnree inches above the hem, and an
Other an inch ana a half farther up.
Acrss the top Of the curtains, on a sep
arate rod, l put valance one foot
ueep, and stitched on two more bands
to run across it, Omitting the vertical
strips.
For that portiere over the DOORWAY
got blue denim to harmonic with
the blue in the curtains, and trimmed
1t IN the same way with bands. ex-
cept that | used white in place of blue
strips, and hung it by brass rings on a
curtain pole so it slides easily. I
didn't use the valance, either, for this.
L made a cover Of blue denim for that
trunk, IN the same way, and call it nv

Ihe screen in front of the commode
was covered differently when I bought
It, but the colors clashed with every-
thing IN the room, SO I ripped off the
cloth and recovered the screen with

Emperor Must Abdicate Be
cause of Talking Done
at The Hague.
BY Associated Press.


Seoul, Korea, July 17.-Following a
long cabinet meeting yesterday, the
premier had an audience with the
emperor for three hours. making
strongly worded representations OF
the gravity of the situation caused by
the emperor sending a delegation to
The Hague peace conference. The
premier boldly pointed out the neces-
sity for the emperors abdication in
favor of the Japanese emperor. The
Korean emperor made no dehnite re-
ply.
1t is believed that cabinet minis
tiers will insist on the emperor's abdi-
cation but it is not considered likely
that he will yield to the demand with
out stuggle. The populace is gen
orally calm.
Although Korea is under an abso
lutte monarchy, democratic custom
has existed since olden days demand
ing the retirement of sovereign
whose conduct endangers the welfare
of the nation. The action by the pre-
mier, it is believed, will mark the
beginning of the end of the Korea
empire and the Inauguration of closer
control by Japan.

Fall From Rigging.

Greenburg's death was witnessed
by many. He had been employed by
the new owners of the Norwegian
bark Lila to repair and refit the
ropes and rigging of the bark, and
had been engaged in the work for
several days. About $50 yesterday
morning he was out near the end OF
yard arm, about IS feet above deck,
when he lost his balance. A scream
of "Oh, Lord" uttered by the man,
attracted the attention Of the men
aboard the vessel, and they looked up
to see him falling. He struck another
yard arm below the one from which
he had fallen, turned a somersault
and fell to the deck head first. There
was an extra topmast lying on deck,
on which he struck, bounding to one
side. Brain and pieces of skull scat
tered about the deck.
Greenburg came to Pensacola on a
sailing vessel several months ago,
and when not otherwise employed
had been making a livelihood here by
fishing. He was a ship rigger by
trade, and frequently did work on
vessels coming into port. The bark
Lila was one of those wrecked last
Septembe Der, and was purchased by the
Gulf Machine Works. Recently she
was sold to parties in Norway, and
when a new master reached here he
employed Greenburg TO rig the YES
sci so that she would be ready for
sea when q crew arrived.
