Bed Rooms and Living Rooms Made
 Attractive With Floral Garnitures.
 Dainty Ideas in New Furniture.
 A few scattered days of almost sul- try weather have turned the thoughts of home keepers toward the necessity of putting away the heavier household furnishings and replacing them with materials that will look cool and be easily kept fresh when warm weather is fairly upon us Sunny. windy days are just right for airing and brushing winter belongings preparatory to stor- ing them until cold weather again de- mands warm furnishings.
 Green as a Moth Protector.
 An experienced housekeeper tells me that she uses dark green coverings. either paper or muslin, for wrappings for furs and woolens as the arsenic used in producing this coloring. is an antidote for all insects that prey upon such materials and if packages are carefully sealed they are safer in green covering than in cedar chests. What ever the value of the vermal shade may be as moth protector it is without doubt the happiest choice for summer furnishings and is particularly accept able in wall hangings and floor cover ings since it affords the best possible background for other furniture.
 The Newest Wall Papers.
 Foliage designs in wall papers are increasingly popular and the Picture" friezes have been brought out in many styles that adapt them for rooms of moderate dimensions. Even in quite inexpensive papers it is now possible to obtain very artistic effects in floral or Picture" friezes. The former are used in bed rooms and dainty living rooms. while the landscape and figured designs are especially suitable for din ing rooms libraries. and halls.
 Striped papers are fashionably em- ployed for walls with floral borders. These are cut out irregularly. follow ing the pattern and are applied over the striped paper. so that the effect is as decorative as a fresco. Particu- larly pretty are these where lavish use is made Of lowered cretonne or chintz for cushions and draperies Last month I told of the extreme popu- larity of all sorts of lowered materials in household furnishings and described the length to which this fad has been carried in bed room furniture covered with cretonnes.
 Cottage Furniture Revived.
 In line with this rage for floral ef fects is the revival of the painted chamber sets formerly known as Got tage Furniture" The new form of this is a decided improvement over the old and is many times more costly, since the enamels and the decorations, are much finer. This revival has re turned to us by way of England and is now known as the Adam" style after the famous English decorator. A pretty set seen recently is of white enamel the backs of the chairs, and the foot and head boards of the bedsteads being made of colored finish. The seats of the chairs and sides of the dressing case are upholstered in ere tonne of delicate colors in a tapestry pattern. 1t
 Hygiene Rec uirannents.
 To satisfy the intelligent demand for furnishings that are not only good to
Arizona republican., 1908-05-12

look at but easily kept in that state of dainty cleanliness that is essential to the health and comfort of the house. h, Id the majority of sensible buyers select beds of metal. either brass or enameled. These go nicely with any of the new styles of furniture. and are practical and hygienic as well as pret- ty. which can hardy be claimed for the wooden framed beds especially where these are caned and upholstered in woven materials.
 Floor Coverings.
 No woman who knows the comfort and neatness that are had where floors are of hard wood. well finished, would willingly go back to the old time tackled down carpets. but very often old floors are not in condition to be left without some disguise. In such cases painted borders and large rugs. not too heavy to be easily taken out rcors for the weekly beating and brushing. are the best solution of the situation. Where one desires a neat artistic floor covering that withstand more than the ordinary amount of wear there is nothing better than the rugs and mattings made from the wire grass of our own western prairies. This material is known as "Crex" and is constantly growing in popularity with people. who appreciate a sanitary. durable carpet at a cost that makes it as available in modest homes. as in those where expenditure is not greatly considered.
 Colonial Rugs.
 The rag carpets of our grandmothers days are revived in greatly improved form in the pretty washable colonial rugs that are daintily in accord with all the cretonne colorings. These are somewhat more costly than the old time Init miss" rag carpets, but any woman who will take the trouble to cut and sew strips of desirable color, can have these woven into rugs for d very modest figure at one of the many places that advertise to do this work
 Delft Effec's.
 Delft effects that go so well with the old blue and white Canton ware popu- lar in former rag carpet period. are now Ve rvmuch in demand in fashion able decoration. especially for dining rooms in country houses and small apartments, and there are so many furnishings to be had in this clear dark, blue andwhite that it is easy to fit out Delft" room almost any where. An ingenious woman has re- gently made over the decidedly shabby furniture of the living room in her summer cottage at a very modest ex- penditure for material and with not more labor than she has enjoyed, for, like most people, she finds that the yielding of paint brush is fascinating especially when it transforms old be- longings into new fresh furniture.
 The frames of. the cane seated, cane backed set" were of light oak. These she covered with two coats of white enamel. having first washed them thoroughly with strong solution of soda and water to freshen the cane. Where the seats had given way, or were weak. she tackled over them heavy unbleached cotton and made loose cushions of chintz in Delft pat tern which were tied in place by blue and white tape The walls were hung in pale green with a wainScote of tiled pattern in a Delft design of Sanitas. and the floor was covered with d large Crex rug of the same soft green. which made an admirable background for the

"The Iattooed MAN.

At the Salt Lake theatre Monday
week, Charles Dillingham; will offer the
favorite comedian, Frank Daniels. in
His latest comic opera success, THE
Tattooed Man" This popular piece
has had three months run at the
Criterion theatre New York. The mu-
sic, which is said to be one of its great
est charms, is by that master of melo-
dy Victor Herbert. The libretto is by
Harry B. Smith and A. n. Fowler. For
their locale the authors have gone to
the seldom visited land of Persia. In
this picturesque environment they have
placed the pIeasure-loving personality
of their leading comic figure, travesty
on Omar Khayam, the role played by
Mr. Daniels. The production is said 10
be one of more than ordinary magnifi-
cence, and the scenic artists are cred
tied with having captured the light
and blOss0my suggestion peculiar TO
the shah's land of perfumes, palms ana
palaces. The opera is in two acts, the
first of which shows a garden adjoining
the palace of the shah. and the other
represents a Persian rose garden. 1t
is in this atmosphere of suggested
poetry that the inimitable Daniels Gre
ates his fun. He appears as Omar
Khayam, jr., q deScendent of the Syri-
an tentmaker. and pretendS to be a
weather prophet and astrolOger. On
the neck of the chaTlatan prOgnostica-
tor is a scaraebus from which mark
/ he gets his name of THE TattoOed
Man" The story of the opera is said
to be very droll and right in line with
| the whimsical methods of making fun
| for which the comedian is famed.
| A large supporting company of wei
known players attends the star, and lit

New York, July S0.-Charged with
homicide in having frightened man

Gurgos Marsho, 20 years old, a bar
Der, is locked up at police headquar-
sters. His case is one of the strangest
that has ever found its way to the po-
lice blotter. T.. -: r.
The address given by Marsho is a
barber shop. The police allege that
Marsho went to the barber shop on
May IA last to collect bill from Inn.

sployed there. Nazariana appeared to
be reluctant about paying the money.
and the two men exchanged words
Inthe heat of argument it is said that
Marsiho drew a revolver and pointed
it at Nazariana. At sight of the re.
'volver Nazariana dropped to the floor
in a fainting fright, and Marsho, who
was also badly frightened, took to his
heels, although he did not discharge
the weapon. Nazariana was taken to
the Bellevue hospital. After he had
been there few hours internal hem
orrhages set in, and he died a few
days later,
