Women with fair compilations,

jolce TO hear that a wall paper has
been invented that will do justice TO

Every variety OF color in wall pa

Dark-haired women, with Southern
skins, have found almost any hue OF
wall paper effective, whether white
or crimson or green, but women with
a complexion Of lilies and crown OF
fax have always felt that they we're
not shown up to full advantage by
the wall paper OF the present day.

mined TO put an end 10 this unjust
condition OF things, has had the hap

Chair and Ironing Board.

One-of the most ingenious inven-
lions for household use recently pat
ented is the combination rocking
chair and ironing board designed by
Texas woman.
This seems to solve the problem
other inventors have been working
on, Of what to do with the ironing
board when ii is not in use. The
seatboard and back Of the chair are
hinged to a board which extends
across the front legs, and both are
detachably affixed to the seat rails
and back rails. When 1t is desired TO
use the affair for ironing the chair
is turned over so that It rests on the
ends of the rockers and the top of
the back rails.
The seat and back are then
Strengthened out till they form one
long board and held I'm position by
support which is hinged to the back
and folds down behind 1t, when the
device is used as a chair. This gives

The Future Of Port Arthur.

The decision of the Japanese gov.
eminent 10 open Port Arthur as a
free commercial port OF entry has
been under consideration for a con-
siderable time and, while no official
announcement has been made upon
the subject, II is learned from good
sources that the plan will be carried
out I'm a very short time. The de-
cision Is an important one and comes
as a surprise TO a very large number
OF people It means the eclipse OF
Port Arthur's glory as a point or
strategy for military and naval move
ments and it's entrance into an i'm
portant position as a commercial city.
Plans are on foot TO make Port Arth-
ur a place OF summer resort as we'll
as a trading port.-LondOn and China

"The black ground offers, as may
be imagined, a perfect foil for fair

the flesh tone Is greatly enhanced by
the contrast, and although I should
not recommend the black paper FOR

want all the reflected light we can
get, think that for reception rooms

WAYS TO ECONOMIC.

II is economy when caught in o

clothes, to spend so cents or even 81
for carriage hire, rather than run the
risk of having the clothes spoiled
To admit all the sunshine and
fresh air possible is economy, for 1t
will bring health and save many doc
tors bills, even II 1t does fade the
rugs.
To rest by the wayside and stay
here on earth with your dear ones,
while longer, rather than striving
to do everything and falling under
the yoke, is economy.-Indianap
