HARD PILLOWS ON pIvAN.
Should Be Arranged So as to Support
the Softer Ones.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan is made more comfortable
by having at its back two huge, hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones.
1t is usual to heap up great variety
of these extra soft ones on a large
divan SO that anyone sitting or reelin-
ing may arrange them according to
ones comfort.
These are needed, it is true, but
they also need a support. The wall is
usually too far back from the front
edge of the divan to serve. The two
large pillows made of the material
which covers the divan are not only
comfortable, but artistic
They may be stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking, then
covered with the chosen fabric. They
look better with heavy cord around
the edging.
If the end of the divan is against the
wall as well as its side, a third pillow
may be added to give an added frame
work to the little pillows.
This is not an expensive trick, but
If housewife ever tries it she will
never let the divan go without this
part of its equipment.

DO YOU FEAR GROWING oLDq
Remain LovahIe and Keep the Mind
Alert to the Times.

The future is not half SO creepy to
the girl standing with unwilling feet
where the brook and river meet" as
it is to that same girl when she
reaches "the between age" and finds
age staring her in the face.
Every woman hates to grow old, and
the more vital has been her life, the
more filed with joy and popularity,
the greater that hatred.
It is not pleasant to picture oneself
friendless, lonely and not wanted
around; to feel ones hair and eyes
and teeth get the worse for wear, and
know that however tight your grip,
youth refuses to be held.
An old woman who is lovable never
yet lacked love; the trouble is that so
many of us forget to keep lovable. We
grow sour, or discontinued or captious
and then blame our lack of friends on
our years.
The woman who need not fear grow
ing old is the woman who keeps alive
to the times, whose mind is alert to
the best in the world to-day rather
than raking over the past, who does
not worry, therefore does not fuss. "
whose aim is young heart and in
achieving it forgets to fret over
wrinkles and bodily age.

Haunted House in the Capital.

At the corner of Thirteenth and K
streets, in what used to be the most
fashionable part of Washington, stands
an imposing mansion which was built
not long after the war by a certain
Col. l., a man of considerable for
tune. He was stricken with a mortal
illness not long after the house was
finished, and the doctors told him
that he must die. Being greatly in
love with life, however, and possess
ing so much to make it enjoyable, he
declared that he would not give it up.
Resisting stoutly the approach of
death, he shrieked and blasphemed
so loud as to attract the attention of
the entire neighborhood. Neverthe-
less, the grim enemy carried him off
finally, and the funeral was hardly
over, when his ghost made its first
appearance. Afterwards it was seen
on many occasions in various parts of
the house, especially in the library,
and so persistently did it haunt the
premises that servants could hardly
be induced to remain. At one time
the mansion was occupied by the
Spanish minister, who told remark
able stories of things apparently super
natural which he wftnessed.-The H.

Apartments for Taft Family

The apartments of the President
ana Mrs. Roosevelt, in the White
House, are those occupied by Presi-
dent and Mrs Harrison and President
and Mrs. Mckinley and will doubt
less be chosen by Mr.. and Mrs. Taft.
They are in the southwest corner of
the house. It is in the great corridor,
upstairs, Immediately over the famous
one on the first floor, that afternoon
tea is served by Mrs. Roosevelt, a
pretty custom which will no doubt be
followed by Mrs. taft, as she formed
the afternoon tea habit during her
long residence in the Philippines. Dur
ing the spring and fall months this
tea is served upon the south portico,
which Mrs. Roosevelt always has
fitted most cozily with rugs, easy
chairs, benches and innumerable pill
lows

WOULDN'T TAKE OFF ANY MORE.
Minister Thought He Had Done
Enough for Cause of Truth.

A quaint Scotch minister was given
to exaggeration in the pulpit. His
clerk had heard the minister criti-
cised for this fault and told his mas
ter.
THE next time I do it, mon, give a
cough by way of hint"
Next Sunday he gave a discourse
on Samson, and in describing the ty-
ing together by Samson of the foxes
tails, said:
1.-THE foxes in those days were
larger than ours, their tails meas
ured 20 feet"
"Ahem!" coughed the clerk.
THAT is" continued the preacher,
according to their measurements, but
by ours they were Is feet long"
"Ahem!" coughed the clerk, louder
than before.
But, as you may think this exag-
gerated, We'll just say ten feet"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
The parson leaned over the pulpit,
and, shaking his finger at the clerk,
said: you may cough there all night,
mon; I'll nae tax off fut more. Would
you have the foxes with no tails
at all?"

Origin and Aim of Gaelic League.

An organization that after Is years
trial has proved itself a great factor in
national unity is the Gaelic league,
which its founder, Douglas Hyde, has
described as IAN educational body
tinged with industrialism." 1t arose
when not 10000 people spoke Irish,
bidding Ireland not to be Catholic,
Protestant, unionist or nationalist, but
just Irish. The obvious objection to
it was that it was sentimental and irn-
practical in asking the Irish boy to
learn the difficult Gaelic when he
could learn French or German, which
he might use in business. Such an ar
gument left out of account the char
acter and temperament of the Celt
Nine times out Of ten it is through
sentiment that he can be put off or on
the road to the practical To-day there
are 100000 students of Irish; it is
even being put in the schools. There
are almost thousand branches of the
Gaelic league throughout the country
supported chiefly by the farthings of
the poor.-Collier's Weekly.

The Price of Pearls.

Consul General William H. Michael
of Calcutta reports that a scheme has
been set on foot to regulate the Indian
pearl market and to prevent repe-
tition of the disastrous experience of
last year, on account of the money
crisis in the United States An agency
is to be formed in India with several
branches, and head office at Bombay,
to collect pearls and to dispatch them
to the London market at fixed price,
but subject to offers. Against these
parcels a small advance will be given
in Bombay, while the price is being
cabled for to London. The promoters
of the scheme say that there is a great
future in store for the Indian pearl in
dustry if it can be properly handled
The syndicate intends to extend it's
operations to the Australian fisheries.

subject of building for the readers Of this

One of the most economical six
room cottages ever built is represent
ed in this design. 1t is 20 feet in
width by 80 feet in length with both
porches built into the main frame.
The layout of the rooms is we'll liked
by most people, in fact, it is a very
popular house both for looks and con-
venience, besides making a very coy,
comfortable home at a moderate cost.
On the first floor we get a good liV-
ing room, IL feet square, and a splen-
did dining room several feet larger.
The living room is entirely shut off
from the other part of the house,
which is considered a great advantage
by some housekeepers.
Economy also is adhered to in build
ing the stair. The cheapest way to
get upstairs is to build the steps be-
tween two partitions, and it is very
satisfactory arrangement, too, espe-
cially where you can have a window
at the bottom and another at the top
for light, as we have in this case.
1t will be noticed that economy is
the prevailing idea all through the
house, not parsimony, but pure, sim
pie, Straightforward economy. In the
first place, it is a straight-sided, right
angled plan, high enough at the sides
for the first story only, the upper
rooms being made entirely in the
roof Of course the curb in the roof

Taft Furniture for White House.

The great White House library over
the blue and red parlors will be an
admirable place for the splendid teak
wood pieces of massive carved furni-
ture which Mr.. and Mrs. Taft brought
with them from Manila. They have
not only great cabinets, but small
chairs, large chairs, low back and high
back chairs, and chairs without backs,
tables, both large and small, all with
associations clinging about them of
their life in Manila. The Taft dining
room furniture is also all in this mas
sive' style, and whether they will re-
move all of this to the executive man
sion is not yet a certainty. 1t is still
in storage in Washington. where it
was removed after the nomination of
the former secretary of war, and the
departure of the family for the Hot
Springs last July.

GRAY and pink Wells.

Even on inclement days the girl of
to-day wants to look her best. She
does not wear any old hat and frock
for fear of rain, but she dresses her
self from head to foot in costume
built for the weather.
1t is now her custom to save her
good and expensive fish net wells for
dry weather, so on wet days she wears
a close face veil of deep rose pink
chiffon and over this a thin veil Of
gray sewing silk.
These are snugly pinned over her
hat, covering the trimming, and neatly
tucked into place at the nape of the
neck and at the top.

not too much. 1t simply helps to
make up a pleasant, well-lighted, airy
and comfortable front room that any
woman would be pleased with. The
two high windows in the hall are built
up to be out of the way for a hall
rack. In a small house like this you
want to utilize every corner and take
advantage of every opportunity to add
to it's capacity. The hall is not only
an entrance, but it may be used to ad-
vantage as a telephone booth, and it
may be given handsome appearance
by putting in long, heavy oak hall
rack against the left-hand side.
Opening from the far side of the
dining room is little nook or den

ing a good thick comfortable cushion
on top. The walls may be covered
with burlap or some tufted material:
if tufted it should match the cushion
on the seat, and as to colors it should
also match the carpet or rug on the
floor. The tufted material may reach
clear to the ceiling, or it may reach
only to the picture molding.
A very neat, coy arrangement is to
have wide shelf above the seat
about six feet from the floor. Then
you carry the tufted material up to
the shelf and across underneath to q
neat finish on the outer edge. Above
the shelf have cupboards fitted with
doors and shelves for books. The only

Hint for Washing Hair.

To avoid tangling the hair when
washing it, first separate it into two
parts by running the comb from the
forehead straight down the back of
the head. Then divide each Of these
parts into two and make four small
braids instead of one large one. When
the washing is done, if eachs braid is
taken out and combed by itself there
will be few, if any, tangles. This is an
especially good idea in washing a
cnild's hair.

when AnnIvina Skin Food.

In rubbing skin food on the face
particular attention should be paid to
the lines around the mouth, which, if
not treated with care, are apt to de-
generate into wrinkles. One side
should be massaged at time, the
tongue being first pushed as forcibly
as possible against the cheek so as
to press out the lines, when the fin
gers can work in the cream, the mus
cles being afterward pinched and
rolled gently with the tips of the first
finger and thumb until healthy glow
is experienced.
