ElRST let US take n summer home IN
the mountains or somewhere in the
country where there are many trees
Here nothing could be more charming
than Japanese pagoda effect, especially
if one happens to be fortunate enough
to hnve a pine grove on the property
Another design that is most effective for
a house in the mountains or woods is
a second floor balcony built right in the
branches of a tree. Any girl whose father
is building home with large tree very
close to the house will be wise to try
to secure the room on that side and have
her balcony built as the house is built
She will want to spend most of the warm
days on that balcony. This particular
type of den, having no roof, can only be
furnished very simply, but the cushions
can be piled on the table at night and
covered with a tarpaulin, which will also
serve in small showers.
The balcony should have broad wooden
corner seats, painted to match the bal
cony; a wooden table, also painted; fat
seat cushions and square pillows for the
back All the cushions and pillows should
be covered with denim, red being the best

this summer as are ribbon belts hn-

years long sashes. therefore, it is possible
TO make extremely pretty and smart
round girdles. One width of ribbon is
generally sufficient, provided there are
three to five pieces of feather bonlng
three or four inches in length to keep 1t
from forming a narrow string about the
waist. There should he Il piece of boning

A fashionable girdle of to-day is the

and even though that waist line is still

have no perceptible dip up toward the

Moire ribbon is in vogue once more, and

NOVELTY FOR TEA TABLE

DELIGHTFUL accessory for Il Tea
| A table in hot weather is It bottle of mv
endcr salts. the stopper out of the bot
tie and the salts just sufficiently strong tC
| eNhalc deliciously pungcnt. cooling rs
scnce. just as 50 many girls love to hurI
a stick Of japanese incense on their win,
ter tea table, so in the summer time d;
] these salts add greatly to the charms OF
the tray set with goodies and cooling
lemonade or iced tea
The prettieSt receptacle for these salts
is Il glass flask or bottle such as were
often seen on a dressing table of tw0
or more decades back, but which have not
been in use in recent years. Any flask
or bottle, however, that has n fairly large
opening will do for this purpose. First
the flask is filled with little cubes of salts
of lavender, which can be procured mt
druggists, and then the liquid is poured
on. AS this liquid will Cyuporate quickly
in n bottle SO often open TO the air, an
extra supply would better be obtained
when the salts are purchased. When not
in. use the stopper should be kept in the
bottle and removed only when the tray
is brought into the room
A flask of these salts makes Il most ac-
ceptable prize or gift at any time of the
year and needless to remark, il can be
made as costly gift us could be desired
for while the really old square glass hot
Ties arc comparatively inexpensive, there
can aso be bought all kinds of TASKS Of
finest silver casing or of iridescent glass,
which are in themselves articles of real
beauty. Even a plain glass bottle with
a pretty ribbon tied about the neck, con
tanning the fragrant stimulating salts,
will make a charming gift to friend, kin
or amy one. a flask about square, four
inches wide by five in height, is best for
these salts, but even more important than
the actual size of the bottle itself is the
width Of the opening.

Rest House-Not Bungalow.

IF you wish TO be up with the latest
English wrinkle, which comes via India,
you must not say bungalows any more
in speaking of that type # architecture,
but call them rest houses We, of
course, got the word bungalow from In
dia, but we use it indiscriminately to
describe almost any sort of a small, ar
tistic house, whereas il properly applies
only 10 one story house built close to
the ground. Bungalows have grown so
popular with us that they have cropped

practical way TO arrange the furnish
ings of this little room is to have these
seats really boxes, with covers that pro-
ject beyond the sides and fastened on
with hinges underneath the back edge.
As the roof is not at all rainproof, the
boxes are used to hold all cushions
or other little things that arc wanted
when one is using the room. The boxes
can be divided into compartments and
one place used to keep a tea outfit, an
other for some magazines and books that
are not valuable and another for some

he no seats their theatres sale at the hotels
where Tyson has the exclusive privilege of selling

the richest of its kind in town. The

Explaining his attitude toward the Tyson agency,
Air Shubert said:
'Our purpose in refusing to deal longer with the
Tyson company is to give the public opportunity

Of the public squares Of Paris A coEnmittee
has been formed, q subscription opened ana
about So 900 has been collected for this purpose
Henri Rochefort. the friend and patron OF Louise
Michel during the dark days Of agitation and
exile, nevertheless abstains from the project
Louise Michel was a strange and apparently
inspired woman OF unquestionable purity OF
character and morals. At times her reckless
courage and violent language excited her fellow
communists to acts of extraordinary daring IN
this she had certain resemblance to Jeanne
dare She was a most kind hearted woman
But her mind unbalanced and her UtOptan
theories were absolutely impracticable-
Her kindness toward men and animals Is ex-
empIifed by an incident related by Henri Roche
fort When imprisoned in the DucOs peninsula
one Of her fellow communists who had talent
for gardening succeeded after great efforts N
obtaining a basketful OF green peas that had
taken three months to grow. This rare dellcacy
was brought to Louise Michel. who forthwith
gave the peas to her pet goat. who deVoured
them IN less than two minutes On another oc-
casion Rochefort found Louise Michel in her
cage with her bare arms. which were usually
very thin swollen to unseer1ly dimensions and
red as tomatoes owing to hundreds OF mosquito
bites RochefQrt offered her box OF cones or
pyrethre which in those days were used to Kill
or drive away mosquitoes Louise Michel re-
piled: "Oh. no. I thank you very much. but
these poor little insects should not be deprived OF
their nourshmenti'
Rochefort says that Louise Michers ideas
about statues and monuments were very SEN
sihIe She would have asked: why should
have a statue? That Is a terribly bourgeoise
idea Men and women in bronze are merely lay
saints. In giving bit Of land In public
square you would convert me into a sort OF

entering the ratings and gathering flowers
Besides it would est large sum OF money that
might be far better expended in aiding the poor
and in employing it, as myself would have
done in helping suffering mothers and succorinE
