The case of Let's against Hillbrant

HANGING PICTURES

The hanging of a picture is a point
of much more Importance than many
imagine 1t needs a good eye to know
spelling the effect of one another, just
how high or how low they should be
placed, and how they should be
grouped, says an exchange. Another
important point is the selection of a
wall covering that will harmonze with
both pictures and furniture
The best thing to do is to study the
pictures when choosing a wall paper.
A paper devoid of much pattern makes
an excellent background for pictures
when there are quite number of them,
but when there are only a few paper
with a large set pattern prevents the
room having a bare look. Where there
is square place between the fireplace
and corner two or three smaller pic
lures grouped together would look we'll

torily. Sometimes a nice picture is hid.
den and its beauties lost through being
hung in corner just because it fits it,
and this should be avoided.
A very small picture should not be
grouped with a very large one, nor
should a large one be surrounded by
several small ones, because If it is good
this detracts from its appearance and
makes it look paltry, and if it is poor it
attracts attention to it, when otherwise
it would remain unnoticed; besides, it
is bad taste, and this of itself is suffi-
cient argument against the practice.
A slender white and gold frame
should not hang side by side with a
heavy one of dark oak white or deli
cate slender frames should be grouped
together and the heavy ones kept to
themselves. Oil paintings, engravings
and photographs should not be mixed.
Small photographs and etchings should
be hung in corners and down on a level
with the eye, and paintings should be
kept apart on one side of the room.
The same rule applies to water colors.
Two or more may be grouped together,
but not in connection with engravings,
prints or photographs.

Another reminder for the woman who
pack is-take plenty of your favorite
kind of pins and hairpins. You may
not be able to buy them at the place
you are going; and it is almost as poor
taste to frequently borrow such per-
sonal belongings, even from SO near

row kerchiefs or stockings. And. by
the way, ones stock of kerchiefs,

the desirability OF a second "string"

with you a kimono or lounging robe for
a possible days indisposition.
On removing things from your trunks
it is important to shake every article
as it comes out. No matter whether
a serge skirt, an elaborate bodice, an
artificial flower vr a wash petticoat,
shake it well.
Another thing to recollect is that if
you have no very good place to hang
your possessions keep the air and dust
away from them as much as is feasible,
but shake them every day so that the
creases will have no chance to get
set.
And another interesting wrinkle to
know, while we are on the subject of
wrinkles, is to hang blouses and skirts
upside down occasionally, especially
when there are many flounces on the

Americans In Canada Not Asked to

Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell US that
the strength Of the nation lies in the
cultivation of the soil. Farming Is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often a~ffluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at a farm house, near n of
the numerous thriving towns Of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given q definition Of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres Of the farm
er's land had a crop-and a splendid
one, too. by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the welI-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was a French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 32O-acre
farm. with the little improvement 1t
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil

THE Ex-SULTAN OF TURKEY
Abdul Hamid, Arch Assassin, Has Aged
Rapidly Since His Deposition
and Imprisonment.

Constantinople.-Since his deposi.
ton from the Turkish throne and con.
fnet1ent in the Villa Alattine in Sa.
loniki, Abdul Hamid has aged rapidly.
His face has become like a piece of
wrinkled parchment, his beard is per-
fectly white and he no longer has his
barber dye it, as he formerly did. II
he has any conscience he is suffering
the punishment that he deserves, and
an eternity in perdition would be a
light penalty for his hideous crimes.
Like Tamerlane, the Mongol emperor
of the middle ages, Abdul Hamid
reigned 33 years, but surpassed him in
his cruelties and wholesale ~assassina-
tons. It is said that he could never
