QUEEN MARY is ECONOMICAL.

While Alexandra. the queen dowager
Of England. complains bitterly that her
income Of S350,0 a year Is utterly in
adequate to meet her needs. Queen
Mary, wife of the present king of Eng
land. makes il her chief business to save
as much as possible and does not
worry about the size Of her income
She believes in economy and seeks to
discourage entertainments that are
wasteful in their luxury and eXtrava
gance. Queen Mary has planned many
retrenchments in the private eXpendi
lures Of the royal family She culti-
Yates simplicity. setting an example in
the royal household which those per-
sons who served under King Edward
do not like and fail to appreciate She
will not spend much time in Bucking
ham palace, because that requires
great deal Of entertaining and is ex-
pensive Instead she will spend much
of her time at Windsor castle, because
the country air, she thinks. is much
better for the children and gives more
seclusion. Meanwhile Alexandra is
com planning that she cannot have many
needed Improvements made in Sam
dringham and that she must be content
with such alterations as will be paid
for by the state.

4 RECENT hostess sent out invita-

rather mystified the recipients of them.

table set forth with a quantity Of pref

art photographs. etc. with shears. IL
brary paste. mounts. glass and passe-

All drew around the table. and guests
were asked to choose the pictures they
liked and to passe-partout them ac-
cording to fancy. An hour passed de-
Nghtfully In this agreeable work, after
which the pictures prepared by each
guest were exhibited and all voted for
the picture they thought the best turn

~ Che Dining Room In Delft *

NANY persons who furnish their
dining rooms after the Dutch or
delft style make the mistake Of cover
ing the walls with plain blue paper in
the accepted delft shade. Now, this is
great transgression of the laws Of
interior decoration. for blue. except in
large rooms. should never be used
unless in its lightest tones. as 1t alb
serbs the light to an appreciable de-
gree and creates an impression Of
gloom. The better selection for the
Dutch dining room IS a figured paper.
A paper with white ground covered
with large conventional figures in out
line rather than solid will be found
most effective and at the same time
sufficiently light to be just the thing
for rooms of medium size. Whether
border should be used depends upon
the height of the ceiling.
The floor covering should be as good
a rug as one can afford in which the
predominating shades are in delft
blue laid over hardwood floor. If it is
necessary to paint the bare boards be-
ware Of the red stain. Put on a ma
hoSany or nondescript brown coloring.

FOR A NORTH ROOM.

1t is often difficult to know how to
brighten a room facing the north or
in an apartment a room that opens on
a shaft.
The occupant of such"a room tried
bandishing curtains altogether. but
this gave the room an unfurnished ap-
pearance. while not really affecting the
light. 1t is the impression Of sunshine
that is needed. So the room was tint
ed a soft yellow shade, merging into a
creamy tint for the ceiling. Pretty.
short soft yellow curtains framed the
windows. but were not drawn over
them In the least A brass flowerpot
with fern in 1t transformed a dark
corner. Brass candlesticks and orna-
ments also helped to give the room a
CHEEKY appearance, and soon the dull
room was no longer dull.

SMALL THINGS THAT COUNT.

"Oh. what does it matter? It'll be all
the same in a hundred years from
now" said Mary when her mother re-
proved her for not attending to some
little household duty.
But Mary was quite wrong. Nothing
Is so small and unimportant that 1t
doesn't matter whether 1t is well or
badly done.
Every time we neglect a duty, shirk
our work or do an unkind action we
are defrauding not only the people
around US. but those who will come
after US. for II we do not make the
best we can of ourselves and our lives
We are not doing our duty by the

Don't get into the habit Of thinking
that ''things don't matter" Every lit
