he is. He is in splendid physical con-

FOR DARK CORNER
IMPROVEMENT ON USUAL HAT
AND UMBRELLA STAND.
Something That Ordinary Amateur
Carpenter Should Be Able to Put
Together-lIIustration Shows
Effect When Completed.

In the accompanying sketch, a
capital suggestion is given for way
of utilizing a dark corner of the hall.
II is an arrangement that is intended
as a substitute for the ordinary hat
and umbrella stand. which is never a
very slightly thing. and one on which
hats and coats are liable to become
very dusty and dirty if left hanging
up for any length of time.
1t is quite a simple matter to ar.

the sketch, and the amateur carpenter

at the small sketch at the top left
land corner will explain this, and "a
marks the two bars of wood support
ing the roof of the cupboard. A few
inches under this are fixed two row'
of pegs; articles of this kind may be
bought for very little, ready-made, oi
the pegs and the boards can be
purchased separately and screwed to
gether and then nailed up in their
places. When the woodwork has been
placed in position, small flounce, oil
material to match the curtains. should
be fastened along the edge, with small
brass-headed nails and brass rod
arranged just inside on which the cur
tains may be hung. Only one curtain
is shown in the sketch, but either ono
that will pull right across or two dt
vided in the center should be used. A
little three-cornered bamboo umbrella
stand or one of the drain-pipe pat
tern, will fit comfortably in the cor
ner, and on the roof will be found a
nice space for a pot with a fern or
other ornaments.

Drawing rinn Out.

The drawing string is now obsolete.
as is the appendix or the ear-moving
muscles. Formerly the main reliance
of woman's undergarments, it has
been relegated by the new sheathlike
skirts to a position which is complete
ly ignored by the up-to-date dress
maker. For the up-to-date dress
maker realizes the Importance of un-
derwear in a perfect fitting gown, and
she insists that the lingeries be ad-
justed to the figure as carefully as the
dress itself.
Now. the drawing strings never
guaranteed anything save convenience
even in the days when skirts were
fiaring as peony, and in these days
their use is sure to produce great
bungling welts under the skirt and
bodices. For this reason, no woman
who pretends to dress we'll now ac-
knowledges acquaintance with the
drawing string.

Gold-Plated Rosebuds.

A new fad for stickpin is a genu.
inc rosebud heavily gold-plated. The
idea does not sound particularly at
tractive, but If mint leaves and violet
blossoms may be candied, there seems
no reason why unfortunate buds
should not be pretrified by the appli.
cation of a good quality of gold.
They are used not only as Plus, but
also as watch fobs and pendants, and
small pearl attached here and there
successfully carries out the illusion OF
dewdrops.

boy loved the man so that he forswore
his own mother to run away with him.
And when the moment came that the
man could stand his pain no longer,
alone in the woods beside the lake the
boy lay down, barred his breast to a
dagger. and waited with closed eyes
while the man sought his heart.
The boy died. With shaking hand
the man plunged the knife into his
own breast, but his stroke failed to
find vital spot.
Hours later soldiers at Fort Sheri-
dan found the man. wandering and
gibbering and clawing at his bloody
breast. They took him to the hos.
pital at the fort and strapped him to a
cot. IL was not until daylight came
that they paid much heed to his NUT
terings and the writing that he
scrawled upon n slip of paper.
Then. when they followed his vague
directions. they soughtrin the woods
and found the body of the boy, cold
