sTENcILED DECORATIONS
Graham Photo Co.

Among the home crafts stenciling is
probably the easiest of accomplishment
and most artistic in results since man
ual dexterity and a good eye are the
chief requirements after a satisfac-
tory stencil has been obtained. Fur
thermore, the materials adapted to
stenciling embrace practically all wo-
ven textiles, from the most delicate
and ethereal china silk down to the
coarsest burlap; or from a painted
kitchen floor with it's simple Greek key
border to the finest parlor or boudoir
ceiling adorned with the richest en-
pire tracery.
Various color schemes may be con-
sidered, but in a bedroom the aim
should be to secure lighcness and
grace, heavy tones and somber hues
being carefully avoided French gray,
pale grayish pinks and green's or blues
are eminently suitable. The writer
suggests a striped and paneled light
gray blue paper for the side wall and
a rather darker tone of the same color
for the stencil work.
Use lightweight linen throughout,
Natural color or dyed to q slightly
creamy tint which would contrast
charmingly with the wall and stencil
colors. Use stencil dyes in preference
to thinned oil paints, as the effect will
be richer and more transparent and
do not forget to practice on scraps of
linen until able to handle the dye sat
isfactorily. Many good manuals are
now published on the subject and if
carefully followed you will have no
trouble in carrying out original de-
signs, or if you prefer to buy the stem
ellis, at least the coloring will be en-
tirely your own. AS each room should
express something of the personality
of its OCCUPANT, here you have chance
to express yourself easily and artist
icaly.
The small accessories of any room
can come under the sway of the stem
Gil brush, and if done well add a per-
sonal touch that is most taking. Lamp
shades. candle shades, desk sets, bags
or different kinds, bureau sets-these
are only a few of the al cicles that
may be decorated by the clever home
craftsman.
Although stenciling is rapid work
compared to painting or embroidery,
one must not expect to accomplish
the next to impossible and finish
whole set of curtains in a day The
kind of design chosen of course makes
deal of difference in the amount to
be done, but it is steady work and to
be successful must be carefully done.
The result we'll repays one for the
trouble taken,

TO SAVE srREAks ON WALLS

To clean or varnish the woodwork of
a room without marring the walls,
hold strip of pasteboard flat against
the wall with one hand while working
with the other, sliding the strip along
as the work progresses. Even better
than the pasteboard is a good flat
dustpan, for it's handle enables it to
be more easily held in place and moved
on.
This is a simple device, yet for want
of it have made many an ugly streak
on papered walls Especially when
cleaning baseboards), in spite of my
best efforts to keep the varnish brush.
the dampened cloth or the oiled rag
from touching them.
BY means of it I have just stained
the molding around my room to match
the new wall paper, doing 1t easily
without making the slightest spot on
the paper.

THE ARTISTIC BEDROOM

While the sleeping porch fad has at
tained almost universal proportions in
the last few years, the bedroom is still
as much a subject of interest as ever
and artistic designs in furnishings are
still sought after. The sleeping porch
can only be a healthful place to sleep,
and that usually only in good weather.
In consequence, it is furnished with a
simple cot or couch or, in many in
stances, with a canvas hammock All
of the dainty, pretty things must be
put in the bedroom proper.
The coloring of the walls should De
light and delicate. Pink is a general
favorite, as the glow cast by pink
walls is almost universally becoming
and hangings for windows and bed
coverings are easily obtainable in this
dainty color. Blue is perhaps the sec
ond choice, as it, too, is apt to be
becoming, and particularly is it suit
able for the blonde. Here again hang
ings are easy to find, as there are so
many pretty tones of blue. Either of
these colors is especially attractive
used with the French gray furniture
which is on display in the large fur
niture stores. The beds are built like
the old style wooden bedsteads, but
headboard and foot are of woven cane
and the frame is enameled SOFT, light
gray. Some have a delicate tracery
decorating them. The chairs have the
same woven cane seats and the dainty
dressing tables have exceptionally
large glasses and are painted the same
beautiful color. Imagine the effect
with pink or blue flowered material
for window draperies and walls in the
plain tones or papered walls with a
dainty pattern in the chosen color and
white swiss curtains. BY using hand
painted furnishings for the dressing
table and crystal candlesticks with
flower shades the whole effect is har-
monious. The furniture may be enam-
eled soft cream color or clear white
and the effect will be equally good,
but not as new.
With yellow there is nothing as
pretty as mahogany and, of course,
nothing can equal the old solid colonial
furniture or good limitations of 1t. with
this, of course, the wood work must
be cream and the fireplace, so neces-
sary in I'VE olden days." should not be
forgotten. The walls should have a
satin striped paper, which will give
height and dignity to the room. In the
colonial bedroom either crystal or
hand-painted candlesticks are appro-
pirate.
In planning to use green in the bed
room trouble at once arises 1t is
very difficult to get pretty, soft l1ght
green tint for the walls and is almost
equally difficult if you decide upon
using paper. All of the good greens
seem to be made for living rooms or
some other room. In fact, they seem
appropriate for anything except the
one room for which you want a good,
soft tint. Most are either too dark or
else are too yellow. However, patlence
and perseverance will finally have their

THE DUTIES OF A HOSTESS

The first rule of hospitality is to
make guests happy and comfortable. A
hostess should consider the tastes,
feelings and habits of her guests, make
plans for their pleasure receive them
with a cordial, gracious manner and
show them that their coming adds to
her own happiness.
When inviting a guest to come for a
visit the custom is to name a definite
period, stating the dates and mention
ing the train or boat that will be corr
venient for arriving. If other guests
are expected the fact may be men
toned in the note of invitation. A
hint may be given as to plans for GER
tain amusements, or whether the time
will be passed very quietly. This helps
to inform a friend what clothes may
be required for the visit.
A guest should be met at the train
or boat and all arrangements made
for the conveyance of luggage.
Before the arrival of a guest a hos
tess should see that everything for
comfort and convenience is in the
guests room. A clock, some readable
books, writing materials, a lounge
where one may rest, a light coverlet
to use when taking a nap, an easy
chair plenty of fresh towels, new soap,
a candlestick and matches-these are
a few of the things needed. A few
fresh flowers in a vase on a table or
bureau will give pleasant welcome.
An important point is not to over
entertain a guest, not to worry by too
many attentions. A good hostess
shows that a guest likes to have some
time in the day to be alone.
The daily diversions depend on the
season of the year and the local ad-
vantages. The best of whatever is
worth seeing or doing is offered, ac-
cording to the heans of the hostess
Friends who may be congenial to ones
visitor may be asked to call or in
vited to a simple luncheon or an in
formal tea, or to spend an evening,
when charades, music, cards, story
telling or dancing may be INDUCED in.
Informal festivities are invariably sue
cessful ones.
It is not the custom to urge guests
to lengthen a visit. They may have
other plans. wise hostess merely
expresses regret that the time for sep
aration has come and the hope that
the visit may be repeated in the flu
ture
The fact that one has moderate
means should not prevent a woman
from inviting friends to stay in her
home A warm welcome, simple pleas
ures and the true spirit of hospitality
are worth much to sincere friends, and
the ties of friendship are strengthened
by the happy and intimate association
under the same roof.-Exchange.

We called on DR.. Bosworth in his
Office at the Merchants Hotel aud we
found plain and unassuming man.
He is social and easy of approach in
every way He is home-sick, as he
left his wife at his home in Atlanta,
she having company visiting her at
the time he left.
We learn from persons who are in
touch with his work that he does
painless operations Of every sort,
His work is magical, and what he
does is surely useful IN and about
our section Of country as we have no
one in medical profession who
makes diseases Of the sort he specially
treats a study, nor do they make
preparations for such, as in riding
they could not keep in touch with
the office engagements Of treatment.
We learn Doctor Bosworth has
had cases Of the worst Crossed
Eyes, growths over the eye-ball,
commonly called Catarscts, and he
made the eyes perfectly straight, and
removed the Cataracts in all cases
without pain ,or chloroform or being
one hour confined to bed. lie Is
specially adapted to surgery Of a
painless work and pays strict atten'
tion to it. In The removal of en-.
largement of the Tonsils, he has re-
moved them here in Madison with
out pain or any serious excitement
for little folks, and this is great re-
lief.
Doctor Bosworth had an engage
ment of two weeks here, hut he now
says that he will probably remain
here all of rext week to serve any
who need his professional services.
He is careful, and palnstaking in
his work.
Doctor Bosworth's work is iE all
diseases Of the Eye, Ear and Throat
all diseases that require any surgical
interference, as Disorders Of women
where local work is necessary, and
all kinds Of Surgery.

Good Roads.

IN circulating a petition for an
,.c,ion for bonding the county for
1nidins good roads | meet every
im.ainable point of argument from
,Ae side of opposition. One is, that
I, vill leave debt for'our children
q nav Well, that is all right if we
o,ye them something to pay it With,
,rd there is one essential point to
which | could call your attention. IL
rll he those of our children who
viii have had something to pay with
who will have to pay the debt, as
hs bond will be paid by direct tax
.,ion. or course there will be those
n our children who will start with
nothing and accumulate an estate,
Inf don't worry about these unfort-
rrate fellows. 1t will take some
hing more than a 2-mill road tax
10 bold them down, provided you
are giving them all the advantages
da system Of hard roads to do
msipess over. Some seem to :hink
that direct tex and pay as you go
would be better. Now, let's reason
from this point: To bond the coun'
y we get sufficient money at once to
enable us TO build roads all over
he county in one or two years. We
bsye the necessary means to pur-
cbsse modern equipments 10 do the
work at the least possible cos t.
When each tax payer pays his road
taI be has the road for which he is
paying to drive over-he sees what
be is paying for. He is merely pay
ing Oh per cent. ON borrowed money,
He has the assurance that be is help
Jog in a progressive movement that is
goi1g to increase the value of his pro-
perty more than the tax he is paying.
As he has a good road to haul over
be is saving more than his entire tax
in getting his produce 10 market.
He will pull to market and sell plen-
ty Of produce that with bad roads
would be wasted at home; with good
roads he would sell aud pay his tax
es. lie has the investment in the
roads TO help him. 1t stimulates to
greater effort to raise produce to
sell, and in the meantime it is invit-
ing others to come in, buy homes
and help pay the bond.
Now, reader, lay aside your pre-
iudicc for one moment and listen;
By a direct tax you will be paying
twice rs much taxes as you would on
Ne bond. This extra money is
worth ten per cent. to you on your
farm while on the bond you would
be paying five per cent. You don t
have to borrow this money. Some
ofyou will pay this tax twenty years
before you see what you are paying
for. You will be building roads by
piecemeal, the most extravagant
way to build them. This has been

OTAY WELL REACHES
THE FIRST OIL SAND
Every Indication Leads Experts
to Believe That Flowing Well
Soon Will Be Brought In

Those men who, without question
have done more than any others to de-
velop the oil industry of San Diego
provided san Diego has an oil industry
are those who have backed the Otay
and the Otay Segundo Oil companies.
Today the eyes of oil men the world
over are watching the little group OF
toilers who daily are sinking the shaft
of the Otay well deeper and deeper
With every foot gained the prospects
grow brighter and brighter for striking
a high gravity oil in paying quantities
The Otay well is now down to a depth
of more than 1000 feet, and rapid prog
ress is being made.
The first oil sand has been reached by
the Otay well at a depth of from 1000
to 100 feet, and the oil production
through 900 feet of water is sufficient
to indicate production in commercial
quantities.
The water in the Otay we'll No. has
been cemented off and in a few days,
