THE DINING ROOM.

In tall dining-room, if the plate
rack is filled with bits of china, make
picturesque effect with fancy shaped
jugs or any Quaint-shaped pieces of
pottery placed above the doorway
and stain the wood to match other
woodwork of the room. This relieves
the barren aspect of room which is
very high. A low room will appear
neatest If these decorations follow
certain lines around the wall and are
not placed haphazard at any con.
venient place. 1t is feared that the
dining-room will soon have the as
pect of the old-fashioned kitchen,
where it used to be the pride of most
women to have one article of every
kind of tinware hung around the wall.
If the china is to be hung round the
walls, 1t is going to detract great
deal from the cozy apartment. The
plate rack is pretty and the bits of
china for the shelves above the door
are not amiss, but use some judg-
ment in arranging an artistic effect

The DANGERS of Optimism
BY THOMAS L. MASON.

Optimism is really an excellent the
DRY if kept in its place, but in these
days the tendency is to run it into the
ground. We meet professional opti-
mists everywhere. What can be more
terrible, for example, than to be in
such a mental state that you can be
cured by any form of the New
Thought?
In the first stages Optimism is cas-
lily durable. One of the receipts is to
buy hundred shares of Amalgamat-
ed Copper.
In it's second stage it is susceptible
OF treatment by marriage or living in
the suburbs.
In the last stages, however, the
patient is hopeless. He is too happy
for any use, and is, of course. quite
unbearable.
The worst feature of Optimism is
the people it forces you to associate
with. Not to be able to get rid of the
man who has discovered the-true-
meaning-of-Life-indeed, to become
SO that you actually enjoy his COM
pany--is beyond all cure. And there
is nothing worse than the man who
has discovered the-true-meaning-
Life. There may be other grades of
superiority more offensive, but we
have never met them.
1t is better, indeed, to be conserva-
tive, and not admit that there is-too
much good in anything.
Only in this way can one retain
ones self-respect in this days of uni
yersal panaceas. From Judge.

A BIR rHDAY PARTY

A pretty idea for a childs or even
a grown persons birthday is to have,
instead of big cake. small cake
for each guest, with name card and
appropriate motto. A somewhat
larger cake my be made for the
candles. This obviates the necessity
and expense of making large cake,
which is seldom so good Even the
centre cake for the candles may be
omitted altogether and around the
centre-piece, which in this case
should be shallow vase or bowl of
flowers, the proper number of small
glass candlesticks, which may be pur.
chased for ten or fifteen cents apiece,
may be arranged in circle.-New

Reinforced concrete IS now being
used for innumerable purposes. not
the least important being in the
building of ships, Several of these
vessels have been built for the Italian
navy. In 1906 a 120-ton barge was
built on the plans of Mr. Gabellini,
an Italian, who has given his whole
attention to reinforced concrete and
for many years has been conducting
experiments with this class of ma
terial.
This boat. which was built with
double bottom and of the cellular
type. was submitted to severe tests in
which a much larger boat built of
iron and with an iron ram was di-
rected against it without producing
any considerable damage. Four more
OF these boats were then ordered by
the Italian navy.

Various fittings and pleatings in

yard, ready for jabots or for lacking

ferred; use brass-headed tacks; put
shelf half way down the box with

pocket for collars, small one with
a lap that buttons securely for collar

Must BE slender.

The one effort of the dressmaker is
to make her client as slender from
shoulder to skirt hem as possible.
slipping shoulders, sleeves without a
vestige of fulness and skirts made to
fit the hips without extra cloth
enough to make wrinkle are the
leading resources toward this end
Such a fashion is, of course, for the
woman who is slender by nature.
