You know you see such things in
some houses that look just right, and
feel comfortable. In other houses
where perhaps more expense has been
lavished on decorations, the rooms and
the furnishings lack that atmosphere
of comfort that you like to feel. A
seat of this kind should be upholstered
high up at the ends, and upholstered
at the back as high as the window
stools, and the colors, of course, should
match the prevailing coolrs of the
room.

room The porch is inclosed with
wire screens and furnished with com.
Portable easy chairs with possibly a
hanging lounge. This article of furni-
ture Is matter of preference, how
ever. Some people like them, while
others think they are ~reat nuisance; I;
but there is one thing about porch fur
niture that should be remembered
1t must be solid and comfortable, and
1t must have colors that little sun
or dampness will not ruin
OF course this porch is pretty well
protected. 1t is just a hole in the
corner of the house to start with,
having only two sides exposed to the
weather, and these are walled up at
the bottom and overhung by the roof.
But there are damp days, especially in
spring and fall, and there are driving
storms which send the rain and moist
ure into almost any kind of an open
room. You feel more comfortable II
you have good solid porch furniture
that cannot be easily damaged, and,
in addition to the extra comfort, II
looks better. Delicate spindle.leg
chairs have no business here. The
cushions should be canvas covered,
and the color should be chosen for
wear. rather than looks. At the same
time utility need not mar the appear
ance of porch furniture even In colors.
There is one thing to be remem-
bered In building bungalow, and
that is to put the bedrooms and bath
room together, shut away from the
the living-room and dining-room. A
great many bungalows are built with

DOG A TRAIN BEARER.
Lifts His Mistress's Skirt When She
Walks Over Wet Pavement.

Clipped and blanketed dogs. French
poodles. pugs and such excite the
contempt of the average person who
likes dogs of more vigorous sort.
These folks also have a dislike for the
small dog that is trained to carry pack
ages on what not. Those who do not
like this use of a really very fine ami
NAL should have seen an exhibition on
a West Side street one wet afternoon
recently.
A woman was about to cross the
street followed by small and mean
looking pet dog. The pavement was
wet
She called to the dog and the dog
trotted obediently up and took the
hem of her skirt in his teeth. Then
staying just far enough behind to keep
all the skirt clear Of the street the dog
followed her across.
Some other woman going along
said, Isn't that cute?" A man who
saw the performance remarked, Poor
beast."-New York Sun.

when all attempts to extinguish the fire

from the six-inch guns sent the ship to
the bottom. Thus do warllke weapons

GAZETTE PRAISES SHOW.

The following extract taken from the Little Rock Gazette of this week, reveals the charac- ter of the performance the thea ter-goers will get tomorrow night. The Gazette's critic is not given to generosity in the matter of complimentary notices and the show must be good:
 The Ralph Riggs company, which opened an engagement at the Capital theatre last night, gives old English farces with in- cldental songs and dances. Last nights offering was Its All on the Quiet" a farce which, like all farces is based on mistaken identities Some of the situations are quite amusing. The plot is not particularly deep, but there is enough of it to carry along the specialties, some of which are are eXcellently done. This is especially true of a dance by Ralph Riggs -.and Catherine Witchie, the soubrette of the company. She is a good-looking young woman and a very clever dancer. The wild knockabout dance in the second act brought them encores until they had to refuse them The song Skating" by Riggs, Rex Wilson and Catherine Wit chic was also a good number, Miss Rose Stillmaa has a comedy character part as Slavey.
