TNHE subject OF home decoration
and furnishing is so large and
comes so closely to the individ-
ual life OF the family that an
outsider hesitates to make even the
simplest suggestions. And yet just be-
cause the subject is large and impOr-
tant and because il is, on the whole,
% little understood by the average per
son is one very good reason why in
struction IS needed along certain lines.
All that ! shall attempt. however, in
these articles on house furnishing will
be some OF the very first principles,
inst a few hints for the women who
are not sure of their own opinions on
such matters, whose experience has
been limited and whose opportunities
FOR getting really good things are very
few.
There was a time in the history Of
our country when the family was con-
tent with the home which simply af-
fOrded shelter. That was the primitive
object of the home. an instinct devel-

6ped from early ages, when caves,
rocks and later mounds of earth and
wood furnished the dwelling place for
the family Undeveloped were the in
stincts which prompted primeval man
to seek a place Of shelter for his own
little circle OF human beings. They
were. however, the beginning Of the
highest and strongest social institution
IN the world, that of family life and
the private home. Now conditions
have changed. people have developed,
and the home must be something more
than place Of shelter. II is still the
Keystone Of the nation. the place
where those qualities which make for
good citizenship are developed. and
therefore It is worthy of all the
thought all the intelligent planning
and the noblest feelings that can be
brought to il. The true home should
reflect the character of the people who
inhabit il. and above all else il should
be OF such a nature as to bring out
the best there Is in each individual
beneath its roof. And a home in the

Things Not to Do.
Some Of the most glaring faults 10

those committed thOughtlessly OF per-
haps. to be more exact. those prompt
ed by the dictates Of fashion. II is so
much easier very often to putJntO our
homes and wear on our persons. even
TO put into our manner those things
which fashion says are right rather
than to adopt those things which suit
our own individuality. environment
and needs.
Just because fashion states that a
certain kind Of wall paper. a certain
color in carpets or certain styles IN
furniture are the --latest and new
est" is no reason In the world why
they should be put into your bones
unless they will be suitable there. Yet
very many times the decree goes forth
and is followed blindly. with the re-
suit that beauty. harmony ana repose
are qualities totally ignored in many
homes. Some one has said: The
world is full Of beautiful things II one
has money TO buy them. The world is
also full Of ugly things-things false
in art. in truth and beauty. They are
things made to sell with only this idea |

To have something like every one

house furnishing. That is one reason
why so many country houses try to
reproduce on a cheaper scale the city
home and why theEe are so many un-
attractive homes if Smaller towns and

The CZAR'S LEAVINGS.
A Doubtful Honor That Was Rejected
BY 3 Polish Girl

In Russia royalty is so revPred that
to the loyal subject il seems greai
honor to follow the czar The govern
ment is eminently patriarchal-in the
ory. at least-and the emperor must
supervise as we'll as patronize the
schools At the Easter festival the pu-
pills are treated with especial favor.
Young girls OF the upper classes Of the
Imperial Girls school are driven in a
long procession through the streets in
the imperial carriages The pleasure
for them is only that OF being allowed
to take a drive In a stylish court car
riage. with cOachman and foOtman in
the imperial livery. There is nothing
special to be seen.
The theory OF this is that the car
stands in a sort Of higher parental re-
lation to all these children. When he
once a year visits one Of these schools
to which only the children OF the
nobility are admitted-tt is a custom
thar as a sign of his favor he drops
his pocket handkerchief. and the girls
all scramble for II, tearing 1t in pieces,
so that each one can get a fragment.
He takes the most brilliant girl to
the table and tastes Of the food Of the
institution II is valued as the highest
distinction when be gives one OF the
girls his plate with what is left upon
It. It is the custom and usage for her
to eat 1t with delight shown in all her
features. Great was the astOnishment
of Alexander H. when a young girl,
Pole. whom the czar had taken to the
table as being the most distinguished
scholar of the institute and to whom
be had passed what was left Of his

Shorter Day In Effect.

Several hundred thousands of opera
tives in mills and factories of Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island began work
Monday, Jan. 3, on shorter schedule
of working hours in consequence of
the new fifty-six hour law, passed by
the last two state legislatures, becom-
ing effective. While the new statute
applies only to women and minors, in
most of the textile and other mills the
law will affect men as well. The
manufacturers find that it is impos-
slble to so separate the departments
that the men can work longer than the
women and children and have there
fore brought all their operatives under
the new schedule, which allows them
to work not more than fifty-six hours
q week.
