SUGGESTIONS FOR
TABLE DECORATIONS
An Opportunity for the House
keeper to Exercise Her
Sense OF Beauty.

Table decorations offer a most
charming opportunity to the house
keeper to exercise her sense OF beauty,
her taste. her love of harmoncy and
even her sentiment, for the poetry of
ones nature can hardly be better cN-
pressed than in a floral arrangement,
and to a woman of romantic tempera-
incnt the possibility of expressing her
sci in flowers is infinitely more attrac-
tive than that of displaying her ability
in the arrangement Of q menu. Con
sequently the subject of table dcrora-
lions to u woman who entertains al all
always appeals more or less happily.
There Is quite a fashion this season
for using bowls and round baskets in
the shape of bowls in connection with
table decorations. In a recent very
happy decoration of this sort seven
bowls were used, six being of one size
n the seventh, meant for the center,
much larger. The bowls were of porce-
lain, with pink and green decorations.
the designs all being alike. In each
bowl vas set q pink begonia in fun
bloom. with its heavy and beautiful
green leaves setting Off the clcar pink
| of the blossoms. The largest bowl was
placed in the center. A short distance
from this center bowl, toward the head
and foot of the table, two bowls were
placed on either side Of ii. Then at
other equal distances and still further
toward the head and foot of the table
another bowl vas placed on each end.
Ivy vine was laid fiat on the table in
graceful, careless prays that i'll a way
connected the design formed by the
bowls and completed it.
A more elaborate decoration is .nade
OF white friesia, s1nilax and palms i'll
gold wicker baskets. Graceful punches
of the flowers and the long blades
which are their foliage rise from small
beds Of moss and smilax. -Four of these
beds are arranged III a graceful shape,
resembling a diamond on either end OF
the central decoration. The beds are
not placed close together. but at some
distance apart or the cloth. In the
center Of each Of these groups OF
graceful blossoms Is placed a round
gilt basket. containing a small palm
which overs quite q little above the
flowers.

A most Charming sofa cushion was
made of heavy burlap. with art nou-
veau tulips or daisies. made in kid,
stitched tightly to the background. The
effect is best when the latter is in grass
green and the conventional decoration
is in brown.
Typography is also extensively used
to outline the Kid decorations.
Another sofa cushion is made of the
same green burlap embroidered in red
poincettias done in red yarn. The
only color to relieve. the monotony Of
the red and green is Il little bunch Of
French knots OF yellow silk IN the CEN
ter of the flower.
Another sofa cushion is OF tan linen
embroidered in a daisy design in the
coronation braid. This is II cushion
that Is more appropriate for the draw
ing room than the sitting room. but it
Is nevertheless original and effective.

WASHABLE CRETONNE

These Novel Coverlets Wear
Splendidly and Are Most

The new lowered cOverlet comes in
narrow and wider sets. A white or
cream ground seems to be the daintiest
for all purposes, al it goes with any
color of walls and hangings. There is
a small self colored figure through the
fabric, and the color work is put on in
a pattern that fits the rectangle of
the bed. 1t may be a broad ribbon eff

falls short Of the work aimed at in
this particular style of bed adorn-
ment.
Match Wall Papers.
One delightful feature OF these novel
bedspreads is that they are designed
to either match or go with the sea
sons wall papers and furniture COW

very reasonable cost.
These c%retonne coverlets wear
splendidly, and they car be cleaned al

handled carefully. There is no Other
trimming on them han the coloree

med up very simply or they are fin
ished with n narrow coarse linen lace
or washable gimp.

Stimulate Eyelashes.

What woman does not wish for long,
curling eyelashes?
They are one of the details that make
q homely woman attractive, and it does
seem as though they could be culti-
waited.
Vaseline pure, white vaseline-
rubbed on with a small brush every
night, is a splendid tonic for these
much-desired beauties. Keep the eye
tightly closed, that the grease ma
reach the roots Of stubborn lashes, al
though If the vaseline is fresh and Of
good quality 1t cannot hurt the eye. In
fact, one woman who has found the
remedy successful says that. on the
contrary, the eyes become brilliant
under treatment. while the longer
lashes make a marked Improvement in
the appearance.

Hot Shot for the Baltimore Sun.

EMr. John G. Rsinhart. a well.known
business man Of Shepherdstown, has
sent the following warm letter to the
Baltimore Sun:
EDITOR OF THE SUM- have read your
paper for more than twenty years and
have been a regular subscriber for at
least fifteen years, either directly
through your office or the news agents
here. have always considered your
paper the best newsgatherer, at least for
the people Of this section, and | have
read with pleasure and satisfaction your
editorials in the interest OF southern
people and southern institutions, OF the
upbuilding of Baltimore, the prominence
with which your paper has Advertised
your city as the gateway TO the south,
and the inducements held out to South
ern merchants to come to Baltimore to
buy their goods. The Sun deserves cred
1t for these as well as many other edi-
torials during former political cam
paigns, In which it has presented point
eddy and fearlessly the workings OF IA
robber protective tariff, the selection OF
United States Senators by theilpeople
that the voice OF people might be re-
fiected through the legislation Of their
representatives and not the voice OF
pur chased officeholder, purchased by
some gigantic trust that he must serve.
Again, your untiring defense OF Admir-
al Winfield S. Schley, to place In the
hearts and minds Of the people the true
victor off Santiago, and your more re-
cent editorial touching upon the treat
ment Of the exiled Col. Stewart at the
hands of the Chief Executive without
trial. All these, say, are TO be com.
mended in the Sun.
But, Mr.. Editor, you have shifted your
position. You now denounce by your
endorsem emit Of Mr.. Taft every good word
expression or policy advocated - in the
past. You have denounced Mr.. Bryan,
who stands for all the good you ever ad-
vocated and more.
You have made 1t an issue Of men and
not policies which they represent. In
the light OF all this, will the Southern
merchant look to Baltimore as the gate
way of the South tor her supplies, or
will they turn their faces toward .Phila-
delphia and New York
Now, Mr.. Editor, as the time OF denun-
citation is at hand, l wish to denounoe
you and your paper rs unfit to enter my
house and family circle. Ny paper is

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
an imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflamation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (csused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catsrrh cure. Send for circulars free.

The Register last week announced
that the troubles between the warning
Republican factions in West Virginia
had been apparently adjusted by the
withdrawal of both @. w. Swisher and
A. @. Scherr as candidates for Cover
nor, and the substitution of W. E.
Glasscock as the head of the State
ticket, all the other candidates on the
Swisher ticket retaining their places
and the Scherr men being dumped
overheard. 1t was a very bitter pill
for the Scherr forces. They realize
that they have been buncoed by Sem
ator Elkins and the Swisherites, and
Glas,cock is almost as Objectionable to
them as Swisher was. They are very
sore on Senator Elkins, and the Scherr
committee adopted the following rsso-
lutions expressing their feelings in re.
gard to the matter:
Resolved, That we recognize in the
selection of w. E. Glassoook, as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, the
direct personal selection of Senator Ell
kins, at his dictation, for his own bene-
At and for the perpetuation OF his own
machine.
Resolved, Further, Thatwe recognize
that the present condition of affairs in
the party makes the selection of the Re-
publican electors uncertain and may en- =
danger the election OF Taft and Sher-
man.
Resolved, further, That because Of
the possible danger to national success
it world not be wise to continue sep
arate State ticket; that the Lincoln Re
publican organization will withdraw its
candidates from the political field, with
out endorsing the nomination Of Mr..
Glasscock. leaving the responsibility Of
his election or defeat upon Senator Ell.
kins aud the State committee OF which
he controls majority; that an address
be prepared by this committee and is
sued, setting forth the facts which
brought about the nomination Of w. E.
Glasscock.
The Soherr mel realize what is sp.
parent to everybody, namely, that the
same crowd remains in the saddle in
West Virginia. Senator Elkins is still
the boss. The substitution of Mr..
Glassoock for Mr.. Swisher is simply
changing a man of good moral charac.
ter for one who is not 80 regarded.
No political principle has been vindi-
Gated. Mr.. Gla,scock, who holds q
fat job by grace of Senator Elkins, is
subservient to him and must do his
bidding. The gang of federal Office
holders and manipulstors is still in
full control aud the same political
ring is dominating the party and
rough.riding over the people. There
has been no real change in existing
conditions, and there is only one way
in which change can now be made.
1t is to elect Hon. Louis Bennett
and the whole Democratic State ticket.
