This work is OF the very simplest, and
for that reason it must be perfectly exc

is imperative. for the cretonne must be
harmonious in coloring and design and
the arrangement faultless. A tint too

Seen in the Shops
To Replace Family Silver

l-OR those who have cottages at the
l seashore or country 1t is a good idea
to provide plated silver to use while
there. This obviates the necessity OF
taking costly family silver. and in sum-
mer 1t Is a relief not to have the care
and responsibility of heirlooms and valu-
able plate.
There is nothing so tiresome to the
housekeeper as the endless thought for
expensive adornments. and when for q
few months in the year she may rest
she should have every opportunity to
profit by the chance.
At the present moment there are on
sale in the shops many sets of very in
expensive plated silver which looks very
we'll and yet Is not of intrinsic value,

sometimes it is used as a piping around

1t Is pretty and Frenchy. and. indeed, 1t
helps greatly to give a hat that desir-
