four hundred at the Metropolitan
opera house last night by distributing
a package of sneeze powders in the

Within a few minutes hundreds of
men and women were coughing and
sneezing and within a few minutes
more, most of them found it necessary
to hurry out into the lobby for air.

Here Is the Secret.

In the six city wards Billiard made
only a gain of 1,049 votes over the pri
maries and McNeal gained 2.212 Or 1,163
votes more than Billiard. This account
ed for the loss of the Billiard plurality.
In other words, McNeal captured a big

1900 less votes than Billiard. The
final count was a narrow escape for
the confidence of the Billardists.
AS usual in nearly every city cleo
ton. the Fourth ward was the bone
of contention. The liberals always
claim the First and Second wards and
the conservatives the Third and Fifth

that the man who carries the Fourth
ward carries the city. In this case
Billiard carried the Fourth ward by
$50 votes.
Billiard carried the First ward by
6S5 votes, the Second ward by 1,267
votes and the Fourth ward by $50

wards-the Third, the Fifth and the

Some Uses for Mattino.

Straw mating may be put to many
uses besides the conventional one of
covering floors.
Table covers may be made of the
fine, closely woven Japanese mating,
hemmed at each end
AS a finish to the lower part of a
wall mating which is not too heavy
serves quite as we'll as burlap and is
a change from the more usual cover
ing.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with fine, pliable kind
of mating, to match the strip on the
porch floor.
Window shades and awning to keep
the sun off, which are tied back or
rolled up when not in use, are also
practical made of mating.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
porch beam.

DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY
Pretty Things That Will Properly Set

So many charming things are made
for the nursery nowadays that it is
a delight for young mothers to set out
to furnish the apartment devoted to
the little folks.
Sets of basin and pitcher in neat
enameled stands are decorated with
Kate Greenaway figures.
Bassinets like large market baskets
having stout handles and lined with
silk and lace, are very convenient with
silk and lace, and very convenient
when moving the wee baby from room
to room.
A stand of enameled wicker has
four trays for holding baby's clothes

when required these may all be open

WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All lnsurmount-
able if They Are Properly
Approached.

The main difficulty in making a va
lance is to keep it in place without
putting tacks into the furniture or
having it on narrow strips that pull
out from under the mattress. One
woman has hit upon a plan of having
heavy unbleached sheeting cut just
the size of the bed, or little within
the line of the sides. The sheeting is
shrunk before being used. The va
lance is sewed to it on each side and
across the end.
The cover is then spread over the
springs and under the mattress,
which holds it firmly in place. If the
valance is of thin material, that needs
frequent washing, it is a good idea to
put it into a narrow band, provided
with buttonholes at intervals close
enough to prevent sagging. Buttons
are sewed to the sheeting in places to
correspond.

Bordered EouIards

There is nothing smarter and few
things more handsome than the new
bordered foulards brought in for
spring. Many of the most attractive
pieces have borders that take up
more than twenty inches of the forty
five or forty-siX-inch width of the silk.
These wide borders usua44y have a
band of solid color four or five inches
wide at the edge of the piece. The
rest of the border may be of Per-
sian design in lovely green, blue,
rose. lavender gray or other color
scheme to harmonize with the ground
of the rest of the silk.
