the Length.
The long, narrow hall which almost
Invariably has q part In the arrange
ment Of modern apartments seems to
offer very limited scope for effective
furnishing. and yet, being the index of
the home. from which the visitor gains
his arst impression. 1t should receive
at least as much care and thought as
the rest OF the house. A person who
has had success in this respect gives
the following suggestions:
THE drst consideration Ia to break
the interminable length. at the same
time increasing Its apparent width. To
accomplish this plain paper should be
used for the walls and Of excellent
quality even II at the expense of some
Of the other rooms. Then. in place Of
the long runner. shorter rugs should be
Observation-Disclosures or four that range
from five to seven or eight feet In
length and Of the hall width. placed
not too close together. Now divide the
hall into sections, according to the
length, by hanging japanese portieres
across.
These portieres come at very mod
crate prices in rush. but the bead ones
are much handsomer. In either case
the porticres may be separated In the
center, drawn aside and fastened with
a band Of some oriental stun or q
heavy cord. Not only is the effect
more attractive. but the apparent width
Of the hall Is increased II the portieres
harmonic with or even match the
wall paper. The height. too. is further
accentuated by the suspension Of a
lamp or lantern from the ceiling Mt the
center Of the sections. The lanterns
preferably should be rather small.
There are some handsome little ones
Of wrought iron with colored glass that
cost only $3.50. singularly suited for
the purpose. the only disadvantage be-
ing that they must have candles. which
come especially for them.
Framed pictures. adding ever 50
slightly to the effect Of narrowness.
should be avoided. and II decoration is
desired 1t may be accomplished by
means Of tapestries or handsome an
tique wall rugs. Armor plate. too. may
be used with good effect. and where
there IL sharp turn tall picture
screen with three leaves may be spread
across the corner. giving a curve in.
stead Of the rather uusightly angle. OF
in this corner there may be room for q
taboret for cards or for the telephone

HER SUPPORT GONE
Therefore Miss McNutt Must
Give Up Her Nice
State Office.
IS A VICTIM OF POLITICS
Especial correspondens.)


Indianapolis. Ind, April "a little
story is going around that has to do
with a charge that is to be made in the
office of the clerk OF the supreme court.
Miss Maude McNutt. stenographer.
in the office has handed her resigna-
ton to Clerk Ed. v. Fitzpatrick. to
take effect on May 1. IL is said that
she will be succeeded by Miss Lucy
Townsend. stenographer in the office
Of w. II. Freeman. Of Wabash. state
forester Miss McNutt formerly lived
at Madison and was the daughter of
the late Thomas McNutt, one OF the
strongest republican workers in that
part of the state during his lifetime.
He was chairman of the Fourth dis
trict. But he Is dead now and can
not do any more work for the party.
and it is said that his daughters place
In the office of the clerk OF the su-
preme court, was wanted for some one
whose appointment would do some
thing to help the machine. Freeman's
term as state forester will expire In a
few months and he will not be reap
pointed. so it was necessary to find .
place for Miss Townsend, who Is his
sister-in-law. Freeman is a hard par
ty worker and his request goes farther
than that of one who cannot do the
party any good. So II was arranged.
so it is said. that Miss Townsend
should take the place of Miss McNutt,
thus satisfying Freeman.
This is the story that is told. Wheth.
err it will work out as told cannot be
known until the first of May comes on
and it is ascertained whether Miss
Townsend takes the place In the
clerks office.
