Two Rooms in One.

One large room is preferable to two small ones and a good arrangement for making the two rooms into one is to have the wall removed between the two and erecte a half wall one foot thick, with pillars marking the dividing line. These thick walls can be converted into attractive book shelves. Palms, ferns and other flowers when arranged up- on the shelf top give a homelike ap- pearance of the two rooms. This is one late method of remodeling rooms in old houses, and all such arrangements are neat. The wall can be built of wood or cement. If the latter, the cement is glazed and marked off the same as tile, or left plain to be painted, which is less expensive. AS interior decorations change with other styles, the latest idea is to have all the interior wood work finished with oil. Oil-finished furniture is bright, but woodwork in the house should have a dull, rich ap- pearance.

PRETTY BEDROOM.

The true test of a successful room is that it is first restfui and always comfortable.
 One particularly attractive bedroom, which will serve to show how one goes about the choosing of colors. is done in pale green and heliotrope of a lighter shade. Plain papering of dainty green. bordered by sprays of heliotrope, adorns the wall, while the ceiling ap- pears in an ivory tint. The birdseye haple furniture and woodwork corre- spond.
 On the antique dresser a coffee coll ored net scarf shows to advantage over a slip of heIiotrope satin- Three rows of beading, through which green satin ribbon one-half an inch wide has been run, finish the scarf, while the pin cushion of green with a faring satin bow to match lends an added charm to the room. A dainty hand-painted toilet set shows graceful sprays of delicate heliotrope, with spreading leaves.
 Under a small maple desk is pretty ecru scrap basket of fancy straw, with an effective bow of green satin ribbon intermingled with heliotrope. Dark green denim, well stretched, entirely covers the floor. being offset by Sev- eral mating rugs in buff and green
 The windows are curtained in soft ecru madras, touched with heliotrope and green. Lightweight cream ere tonne is used for the coverings for the bed and bolster relieved by punches of heliotrope and bits of green

NEXT TO ARTHUR.

The great American public has been frforTned from Washington that as a president in social matters, Taft ranks next to President Arthur. As The Bulletin remembers Chester A. Arthur. he was first in gastronomics and first ia the cemetery. and these are the frsts for which he was most celebrated. II is really a questionable compliment 10 be chased second to a famous gorrmapG who. because of his social exceESes shortened his life. It may be barely possible that sociaEty and inc American banquet cannot inn pair Taft's health or break him down; Sut 90 many Americans of genius and ability have fallen victims to 1t, that there are grounds for fearing that in- duigencs along these lines will under rrlne his health and De his destruc- 1soa- The great presidents have not found special mention along such lines. and 1t will be something new if President Taft can continue to dine with the high rollers and at the same time distinguish himself for his in dependence of character and his firm ness in public matters which directly affect the interests of the people. In- stead Of next to Arthur in anything, --z Izze t0 think of Taft as the equal sf Roosevelt in every good quality. This is what the people expect Taft VIII De whsE his term is ended and h5s achievements are counted up.

ModisE1 Gloves.

Instead of wearing pure white gloves in the afternoon the fashionable wom- an is inclining toward a delicate pearl shade or pale apricot and tan color ings.
 She is choosing for motor wear the 'ichevrette" of elbow length, with a strap at the wrist to pull the leather together. This is generally lined with fur or wool.
 Women find it hard to approve of the sharp dividing line between long sleeves and short gloves, and are wear ing with afternoon toilets longer shapes, which pass in wrinkled fullness over the cuffs.
 Gloves of two button length are worn with coat suits. The buttons are very large and are made of mother of pearl.
 For driving, mocha gloves in pale colorings, which, strange to say, wear much better than the dark ones, are popular.
 Of course, the evening gloves are vir- tuaIly the same. Long white glace, with occasionally a decoration to car ry out the scheme Of the gown, are worn.
 By these gloves you will know the well dressed women.

They are free 10 roam the streets day and night, boys and girls together, and they have no more respect for law and order Ehan any other ioafers.

They arc in all the places where there is license for their presence. and they run the town for the time being Their language is peculiar to their calling, and rings fairly true to the Bowery lingo of the larger cities. They dress well after fashion of their own, and have plenty of the soft snaps of life They are fresher than new-mown hay. and fear nothing"
 Those who know their city realize how true 2 picture this is of boys and girls who are growing up in fdleness and wiifulness and who are hunlored more than they are trained at hcme, v=f1o care little for the police because Of their respecta ble connections and the protection which they feel certain is theirs as a birthright, for that is their only claim to tolerance by the authorities The Telegram is right when 1t says:

- ZINC TABLE.

The housekeeper who has once known the convenience of zinc table with a ledge around it in her kitchen will never again be without one, even if she must improviSe it.
 Such tables can be bought at com parativeIy small cost Some of them have an undershef, also zinc covered, where hot pans or dishes can be stood.
 Any wooden kitchen table with strong legs can be covered by a tinker with a sheet of zinc for about g. The metal fits the top of the table and is turned up all around in an inch-high ledge.
 Such a table saves many times its cost in preventing breaking, keeping water from stopping on the floor and being easily cleaned.

ARouslNo CIVIC INTEREST.

The board of trade of Springfield, Mass, has entered upon the develop ment of a side-Iine of endeavor which appears to be a commendable way of arousing among the pupils of the high school an interest in communal mat ters. The board has opened a prize essay contest open to the pupils of the two upper classes in each high school. The board is to give essays of $20 and $1o for the best essays. The sub Jects chosen are:
 The duty the high school graduate owes to the community
 s'Is it right or desirable for the United States to continue it's present policy of huge expenditures for naval armament 2''
 What would be the advantages of the removal of the railroad tracks from the riverfront and the improve Inent of that section of the city?''
 ''War-its effects upon commerce, finances and the human family
 What we owe to Abraham Lin coln.''
 .@Fhe effect upon themselves and upon society of the enlarged activity of women
 This looks like a wise movement. There is nothing like interesting the student class in public affairs early, and it may prove to be a much more fertile field for practical ideas than was expected and eventually present practical results which will be worth more than all the work cost The com ing young men and women are wor- thy of this encouraging contest and that city will not be the loser by this venture. It is a movement which is likely to be repeated elsewhere sim ply because 1t deserves to be.

 Not in elaborate embroidery but in the coarsest of cross stitching done in worsted yarn, and in a combination of dusky green and blue shades, each so dull as to melt into one another.
 Again, if a one toned curtain be de- sirable, choose an Indian red, dull brown or blue, and, using the coarse worsted yarn, hemstitch a broad hem along very open line which you have drawn, or overcast the hem in coarse hemming stitches a quarter of an inch in length
