Although the small maiden may
have an assortment of silk slips she
never wears a separate silk petticoat
or one trimmed with ribbons. Her
white skirts are carefully measured
an inch shorter than her frocks, and
are of somewhat heavier materials,
preferably lonsdale or cambria. These
may have deep founces or embroid-

accompany lingerie dresses, or sew.

Balance in Furniture.

To lay down a set of rules for ar
ranging the furniture in any room is
obviously impossible, as fitments diff
fer so radically. But there are certain
things that can be done successfully
with furniture and others that spoil
the appearance of the most expensive
ly fitted-up apartment. First and fore
most of these is to balance" room,
meaning by that not to get all the
heavy pieces or all the large pictures
on one side. If, for example, there is
large sofa against one wall, across
from it there should be a table that
is in proportion, or a heavy chair or
something like that, to preserve the
equalities. 1t need not be exactly
across, but somewhere on the other
side, to avoid looking as though, were
the floor swung one side, it would go
down and the other come up. In rear
ranging a room the rugs, if any are
used, should be taken UP, and the
floors left so that the chairs, ETC., can
be easily moved to experiment for the
best placing.

Dispenser of Kisses.

A Frenchman, who apparently has
been amusing himself by reckoning
up the number of kisses he has given
his wife during the first 20 years o:
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day, or.
say, allowing for birthdays and lega!
and church holidays, about 36,700 IN
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half, and in the third
year to ten a day, while in the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
