The Brides New Home
Don't Stock Up With Too Much
~ Furniture at the Start "

vt Is an easy matter to purchase
sufficient furniture for the new
home, but when once it has pass
u ed the threshold great deal re-
Gains to be done respecting the best
ind most artistic disposal of 1t. A
slever woman can achieve fine results
With little material II she pays special
tttention to the position which each
piece is to occupy. 1t is always a mis-
Jake to overcrowd a room with furni-
lure, but sometimes it is unavoidable,
Ind then one can feel only intense
tympathy for the owner. I would, in
consequence. urge the bride elect to
buy rather less than more for her
beeds.
1t is well to remember that a piece

usually will be more effective than II

hammer and give totally different as

There is nothing more uninteresting
Than an apartment where every piece
bf furniture is ranged in a straight line
against the wall, with perhaps a table
placed in the center with mathematical
precision. Luckily these appalling
looms are less in evidence nowadays

them occasionally to our great mis-
fortune.
often wonder why in general sit
ting and in some dining rooms 1t
should be the rule rather than the ex-
septio1 to place the table for the meals
Or lamp right in the center of the
loom. There need be only one definite
Excuse. and that Is when the table is
Exceptionally large or long and can

JEWELS TODAY AND YESTERDAY

In no department of dress has the
taste changed so much In the last half
century as in Jewels. In early Vic
| torian days and much later no woman
who had any respect for herself would
have worn a jewel that was not genu-
inc, and her jewel box contained a very
limited assortment OF costly ornaments
The modern woman has perhaps fewer
| treasures. but she has an endless va
riety of necklaces and pins which are
often of trifing cost. but which enable
her to give the right decorative touch
to whatever costume she wants to
wear. These things are Of more use to
her than more valuable Jewels would
be. and she is even suspected of keep
ing any valuables she may possess in
a safe and wearing limitations. The
decorative value Of the latter is just
as great as that of the real ones, and

room admit Of ie. place the dining ta@
BILE in one corner, in order that the
maid can get at things easily. and ar
range another corner in a cozy fashion
where the men OF the family can
smoke their after dinner cigars.
Square rooms are moro difficult to
furnish prettily than any other. but
the introduction of a scrse1 or two
and placing the furniture SE / have
just described will work mirsSlsies in
artistic effect. Anything which can be
accomplished that breaks up the
straight lines of such a room will be
an improvement.
Always treat corners of a room first.
When thev are artistically arranged
the disposal of the rest of the furniture
becomes an easy matter. Utilize re-
cesses when possible and do not be
o. ergenerous with drapery or pendent
hangings unless you are positive that
the appearance of your room will be
improved.
Halls, stairways and landings might
often be made more ornamental than
they are. although one must be careful
not to furnish them in such manner
as to interfere with the right Of way.
A carved oak chest or a big chest OF
drawers may be used on landing and
serv as storage place for the house
linen as well as an ornamental bit OF
furniture
A grandfather's clock, q settle and o
narrow table are other very useful arr
| ticles in this part Of the home. Then.
again, do not forget the mural decora-
tion of his part of the house. Pictures
and trophies on the walls of the stair
case look exceedingly well, while plants
on the window sills and in odd corners
are artistic.
In bedrooms one is rather limited AZ
to the disposal of the furniture, an in
most rooms OF this character the large
pieces have to go where they fit best.

recesses. allowing as much light as
you can TO- the dressing table and putt

Sanred Nuts of Japan.

Although well known to travellers
and collectors of curiosities, the horn
nut or sacred nut" of Japan was al
most wholly unknown to fruit and nut
dealers In this country prior to 1888,
when a New York commission mer-
chant received the first large consign-
ment. They are called sacred nuts"
because used in certain forms of Jap
anese worship, where they are placed
on the altar and ignited. Being very
rich in oil, they burn with hot, blush
fame and give off peculiar odor, the
fumes being supposed to rise as an ac-
ceptable incense to the gods. They
grow under water and have leaf like
an American lily, the form Of the nut
itself being an almost exact counter
part of an Asian buffalo's head, droop-
ing horns and all. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteless, but when
cooked the favor resembles that of
boiled chestnuts. They are said to re-
tain their edible qualities for upward
Of twenty years.

that both of lowa's penal institutions
are increasing in number of prisoners
steadily, thus enlarging the already
arduous and time-limited duties of the
parole board, it is apparent that some
provision should be made whereby the
whole time of all the members may

quarter is crowded into a few days,
consequently the members are Work

are now, it is a well-known fact that
each member is working overtime and

paid for, but which is absolutely neces-
sary in order to cover the increased
amount of work caused by the in

There is but one logical and prac-
teal solution to the condition-ma make
the service of the parole board con-

ty to act as state agents for paroled
prisoners, thus insuring society the
protection of having paroles under
