BOxES AND BAGS FOR THE GIRLS ROOM
ROOM

without being made to order There are
those finished in plain colors, with deco
lrations of French engravings; others COW
cred with striped or lowered paper or
chintz, white moire and, indeed, an end
less variety.
There remain the shoes to dispose Of,
for if the girls room is to be the pink of
lperfection of order they cannot be left
to the care of the closet. If there is room
it is a good plan to have a window seat
made. 1t may be quite small and serve
as an attractive seat, having couple Of
pillows for the back and an upholstery
to match the room. The top lifts up and
the shoes are kept inside on trees-of
course each pair in its own particular
lplace.
Less important, but still occupying a
necessary place in the closetless room, or
that which is well night closetless, are
the various bags which serve as storage
Iplaces. There is, of course, the laundry
bag, or, if possible, two-one for fine
neckwear, &c, which is small, and
tlarger one for heavier things. The bag
may have an upper and lower compart-
ment, the upper being shallow and the
Hover deep, which will serve these uses.
Laundry bags that are most satisfactory
for their decorative and laundering quail
ties are made of linen with big conven-
tional design in contrasting colors of
stitchery or of unbleached cotton muslin
with applique designs of linen.
N LMOST every girl has an embroid-
IA cry bag or bag for fine needlework,
but it is also necessary, especially for
the girl away at boarding school, to have
bag for heavier things--a darning bag,
in which she can put the underwear she
must mend and the stockings each week
when they come from the laundry. A
useful little bag also is one for lingerie
ribbon, in which is kept, besides the rib
bon of various colors, the bodkins of sew
eral sizes which are needed for putting it
in. Many girls also like to keep their
handkerchiefs in a bag and this may be
hung at the side of the dressing table,
leaving the space in the drawers for other
things.
1t may be said that nothing has been
described in this article which will take
the place of the closet for ordinary suits,
mackintoshes, &c, provided the room is
absolutely closetless. The only thing to
do with such room is to build a closet,
for there must he some place where ordi-
nary clothes may be hung. The easiest
way is to have a closet built across a cor
ner, with a shelf at the top and a door
inside of which is a pier glass. For a
girl who does not wish to go to this ex-
pense curtain rod may be put up across
the corner, from which a straight curtain,
preferably of the same shade as the wall
paper, may hang. A disused door leading
into another room, if the hollow space is
closet.

trelliswork was a group of the wild roses,
with their silk embroidered tendrils and
leaves.
For heart shaped cushion the design
was a bouquet of pansies and maidenhair
ferns The cushion was in a dull pink
silk with a narrow gold frings outlining
the edge. The flowers. in applique, were
fastened with French knots, the ferns
being also appliqued; the stems and a
narrow vine-like tracery were done in
silk The flowers were tied with mar
row gold ribbon.
Photograph frames, sachets, table COW
ers and all the various boxes which now
are needed for the dressing table are
decorated in this manner Basket and
rose designs and allover designs are popt-
lar. Gold thread and ribbon. fringe, both
in gold and silk: small ball fringe, coored
braid and, for very dainty cushions, lace
lis used to supplement the applique work
and embroidery.

NEW UMBRELLAS.

UMBRELLAS which can be folded
| Ito fit into a twenty-four inch dressing
case are the only type which now
appeal to the college girl who does not
like to be burdened with more than one
package when travelling. These folding
umbrellas come in black, tan, taHpe, dark
red, blue, brown and green twilled SIX,
mounted upon steel frames and usually
have wooden handles. Among the aH++aewd new,

Uses for Odds and Ends of Lace

II is not in the least necessary that the
various kinds of lace be all of one design.
On the contrary, this would not be the
which were constructed of material
bought for the purpose. Provided the
design is attractive, the material fine and
the Stitching of the most dainty, the use
of half dozen patterns of lace on the
same cushion cover or handkerchief bag
would not detract in the least from tne
beauty of the article.

keep the breath sweet and ward off an
incipient headache.
'"rhe schoolgirl who goes in enthusias-
tically for out of door sports is such an
exceedingly busy young person THAI she
can scarcely spare the time to eat and
drink regularly. Consequently she
either subssts upon an insufficient diet
or she positively bolts a quantity OF
food, and by the time she is ready to
make her formal bow to society has
innocently ruined her digestion and her
complexion"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

n NE of the first things to consider is
"a large box to go under the bed, in
which dancing frocks and other best
gowns may be kept. There is something
untidy about thrusting ordinary boxes
under the bed, but the daintiest girl will
find a box made for the purpose ad-
mirable for fine gowns. This box may
be nearly as long and as wide as the bed.
lit is of light wood, fitted with castors,
and has a lid which is cut down the mid
die and hinged at both sides, so that 1t
opens in the middle, which is more con-
venient than at one side. The box may
be stained to match the woodwork of the
room or the floor, or it may be covered
with enamel paint in a harmonious color.
The lid should fit closely, so that the dust
will not get in. The box is padded with
cotton on the inside and lined with white
or it may be lined with flow
cred paper. 1t is best not to have 1t
covered with chintz or denim on the out
side, as this gathers dust.
In this box the gowns may be laid full
length, with tissue paper between and
several layers Of tissue paper and per
.haps a cheese cloth covering over the top.
A paddock may be put on if desired. The
use of several sachets in envelopes or
bags is considered better for seeming the
box than to have the lining scented, be-
cause then the sachet may more easily
be kept fresh.
Any carpenter will make such box at
a moderate cost, and it is an easy matter

of the bed. These boxes are finished in
such a variety of ways that they really
fit into almost any scheme of decoration
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

out some distance beyond the legs and
the hat box. 1t is necessary to have a
fairly good sized table for this, but as it
is to serve two purposes, the room may
usually be spared. The top of the table
is fitted as a desk and a wall cabinet
hanging directly over it, quite low down,
may be used for the cubbyholes so neces-
sary for a complete desk equipment, or a
set of small rectangular boxes covered
with fowered paper may be set on the
back of the desk.
n RDINARY frocks and coats and
| underwear may usually be cared for
in the closet and bureau or dressing
table, which should always be provided
with drawers in a room where space is
precious. For shirt waists, neckwear,
gloves, wells, &c, set of rather large
boxes, covered with fowered paper,
chintz or linen, has been found almost
indispensable in every boudoir. These
boxes may be bought ready made in the
frame if desired, or they are made to
order to fit any space. They may be
tall and narrow or rather low and wide,
If there is no other place for them they
may very well be placed against the foot
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

to line it, using tiny tacks to fasten the
edges.
After the fine frocks have been dis
posed of it is well to consider the hats,
which are really a matter of much con-
cern when closet space is not ample.
Here again the box comes to the rescue
and may be utilized in several forms,
If the room is large enough to afford
the space a very simple way is to have a
stand made into which hat boxes may be
slipped. The stand consists merely of
four uprights of enamelled or stained
wood connected by horizontal strips of
wood placed at equal spaces apart. These
horizontal strips are fastened inside the
uprights and are wide enough to form the
resting place of the hat boxes.
\ FOWADAYS attractive befowered
v hat boxes may be readily procured,
and three, or if necessary four-all of
the same size and design-are bought for
the stand. A single box fits into each di-
vision. The hat boxes must all be the
size of the largest hat, but if there are
small hats two may be put into one box
by fastening cushions to the sides of the
box and pinning the hats to these.

ing school, is how TO secure
enough closet room and other
storage spaces for putting away
their possessions so that they VIII be kept
in good order and will at he same time
not be too difficult to get at when needed,
In houses and apartments in large cities
also there is frequently 200 little space in
the bedroom which has been allotted to the
girl of the family for her to find the dis
posal of her personal belongings an easy
matter The closets are small and there
is no place for an additional wardrobe. In
despair the girl who is to occupy the
room sees her luggage unpacked. There
seems absolutely no place for her dainty
gowns where they will not be numerically
crushed.
She regards her several hats, which be-
fore she had thought all too few, with
disappearing eye and almost resolves that
she will give them all away and buy
comfortable folding Tam o Shanter. Her
boots and slippers are ranged along the
wall in an obtrusive row. The accesso-
ries to her costuming-gloves, wells, col
lars and handkerchiefs-seem imposslbly
numerous. Usually at this stage the girl
sits on the floor plunged in despair
for q moment or two, then, if she be
sensible young person, she sets about in
venting skilful methods Of slowing things
away.
There are two good fairies ready to
come to her aid in this matter, and it is
perfectly wonderful how they can help
out. Their names are box and bag and
their possibilities are endless. Girls who
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

have tried it say that if necessary an
entire bedroom can be furnished with
boxes and bags with the exception of the
bed and the mirror.

$4,000 IN CASH IS GONE
PaoIi, OKLA, Scene of Latest Hold-Up
BY Expert Cracksmen, Who Sc
cure Money From Bank.

Pauls Valley, Okla, Dec. 15.-Rob-
bers early this morning dynamited the
safe of the Paoli State Bank of Paoli,
twelve miles north of here, and es-
capped with four thousand dollars.
Three blasts were used, cracking
the safe, but before the residents
were aroused the robbers escaped on
a south bound freight train of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad,
which arrived there shortly after 1
o'clock.
Before forcing an entrance to the
bank the cracksmen secured tools
from a section house and broke into
the railroad station.
They removed the telegraph instru-
ments and cut the telephone wires.
They secured $500 in silver, 5000 in.
gold and $4,000 in bills.
This is the fourth safe blowing
here in the last two months. Two
men are now in jail here charged
with robbing the Santa Fe station
there a few weeks ago, following the
two attempts to rob the Wells Fargo
Express company's office safe.

THAT HIGH SCHOOL PIANO.
A Few Statements For the Benefit of
the Public.


The students of the High School are
very much Interested in raising funds
for the purchase of a piano to be
placed in the study hall of the High
School Already through their exer-
tons and the kindness of their friends
the sum of one hundred and thirty
five dollars has been placed to their
credit in the bank. Within the next
few days additional efforts will be
made.
1t is but right that those interested
in the movement should have, in the
words of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, "a decent respect to the opinion
of mankind" and that they should de-
clare the causes that impel them to
desire a piano.
The question has been asked, not
once but many times, and by those
whose attitude is most friendly,
What do you want with a piano at
SCHOOL," How and when will you
use it?" And it is to answer the ques-
tions that this statement is made. A
High School student spends approx
mately one-third of his waking hours
at school. OF course, the greater part
of this time is, and should be, given
to the preparation and recitation of
the lessons; and it is only incidentally
that his faculties other than intellec-
tual can be ministered to. But it
would surely be a short-sighted, if
not an actually injurious system, that
would make no provisions for his
wholly natural and legitimate desire
for diversion, for the proper express
sion of his social instincts, and for
the cultivation of his tastes
Those who are directing the piano
fund campaign feel that a piano would
be an important factor in creating
and maintaining the right spirit
among the students, and that it might
possibly contribute to a better under
standing among the patrons, the stu
dents and the school authorities.

of both pleasure and benefit to the
students and give them an added in

and girls hope that these brief state
ments will give their plan more FEAST
bility to the minds of their friends,
and that they will continue to have
generous support in their undertaking
