stricter observance OF sunday Is one
OF the great needs OF this city. We
have theaters and amusement halls
open on Sunday afternoons and even

vices. And this IN spite OF the laws
and ordinances prohibiting the open

Undoubtedly Some ,saloons are also
kept more or less open ON sundays.

But Mr.. Meredith was one of the thou
sands who from time to time have won
victories of peace not less renowned than
those of war. The industrial world, In
truth, has In 1t many notable figures who
are heroes of peace. The engineering field
furnishes a great part of them. AS you
see a railroad climbing over mountains and
darting into apparently impenetrable re-
gions you observe an accomplishment OF an
indomitable will, a far-seeing mind, a skill
full hand. There is hardly a field which
demands a higher order of genius than that

mar whose health had been so precarious
that his physicians advised him months ago
to give up work. He would not do II. He
was engaged in the extraordinary task of
constructing a railway down the Florida
Keys toward Cuba-building a "sea-going
railroad" somebody put it-and he intended
to see the job through. His work pro-
crossed. The problems involved were some
of the most formidable imaginable. Old
engineers rubbed their eyes to think of
this railroad traversing marshes, islands
and the Gulf of Mexico itself and stretch
ing to a point within ninety miles of Cuba.
1t demanded the highest quality of genius.
1t required resourcefulness without limit.
Mr.. Meredith stuck to his task. He had
not only to combat the difficulties of his

AIabastine CoIors.

While the softly tinted wall is thoroughly
up-to-date and artistic. the whole effect is
likely to be a sad disappointment unless a
preparation like Alabastine is used as the
vehicle Of color, for the soft, velvety, ar
tistic Alabastine colors will not fade and
never rub off the wall.
Fortunately, they never check, peel nor
blister, so that the best and most discrimi-
mating architects now insist that all walls
be alabastined. There is a wide difference
between the alabastined wall and the kali
somined wall. as wide a difference as thepe
is between a hard brilliant diamond and a
common glass crystal,
A preparation like alabastine is perma-
nent in its effects; kalsomine is exceed
ingly transitory, rubs off easily, fades
readily. alas! too readily. and peels. checks
and blisters, leaving unsightly white spots
on the wall surface, mute reminders of I'M
wise selection in materials.
The successful dressing of windows need
not involve much expense, but procures an
added touch of daintiness and attractive
ness.
I An exceedingly desirable treatment is
to carry the wall color to the over curtain
and decorate the curtain with a modified
design Of the wall stencil.
Unbleached cotton. dyed to the desired
color tone and stenciled with the same pat
tern as the side wall in reduced size, is
exceedingly good in style and artistic in
effect.
II the windows are narrow and an APP
pearance of added width is desired, carry
the curtain pole out beyond the window
line so that the inside of the curtain
touches the outside of the window casing,
then you have added width. If the window
is to high. modify the height with a wide
valence at top carried clear across the
window width; If the window is short,
make the curtain line long. clear to the
floor.
For under curtains when ivory ceilings
are used. use crsam or ivory white lace OF
muslin curtains.
With these few things I'm mind, any room
any home can be infinitely improved.
We wet our bright. brilliant colors tina
are needed for an occasional but not too
frequent dash OF color from open fires in
winter, bright cut flowers in summer and
brilliant gaudy book covers at all seasons
of the year.
Contrasts come from rugs, sometimes
from door draperies and frequently from
carpets and upholsterings OF furniture.
Finally, avoid a confusion of ornament
and an accumulation of bric-a-brac, for this
makes clutter and spoils the unity Of the
room. lugged into a room for
