and furnished with cretonne mattress and
cushions is most enticing place TO read.
One is also inclined TO take q little more
time to rest with such thing convenient
at all times
A small night table by the bed has a
hundred constant uses. and is an attrac-
tive addition to the room. One should
always have IL candle or a night lamp
conveniently at hand, as well as drinking
water. The old-fashioned commode is
being used again In the more deliberately
furnished rooms. but the night table is
adaptable TO any bedroom where there is
space for II.
The growing inclination to keep the
living room and library more impersonal
than they were a few years ago has made
the writing desk or writing table almost
as regularly a bedroom article as is the
dressing table. Tables are probably used
more generally than desks. They are
furnished with attractive little sets of
drawers, filing cabinets and various sim
liar accessories, that make them good to
look at and OF practical use. Such a
table may be provided with a large table
lamp, set near one end. or with two
small table lamps of duplicate designs,
one being placed at either end Of the
table. OF course the table should be
placed as near a window as possible.
In very large room the idea Of using
chintz and wall paper OF the same design
NAV result most attractively. This may
even be done In a small room If n small
design on rather pale colorlng is used.
But ordinarily the rule OF plain paper
and figured hanRngs and vice versa Is
the safest thing to follow 1t is,p rule
that one cannot go far wrong on az least.

That. indeed, was the condition upon
which John Alcott, the head OF the family
to-day, permitted the book TO be drama
tiled. Nothing should be used in the
play which was not In the book, and only
such changes made as were absolutely
essential for dramatic structure. And the
Alcotts have been satisfied. John Alcott,
who, as almost everybody knows by this
time. is really the Demi OF the book,
who is brought In on the pillow by Aunt
10, and kissed by Laurie and can't be
told from his little sister Daisy, except
by the blue bow on the boy and the
pink bow on the glrl-French fashion,

nephew, and he changed his name from
Pratt to Alcott at her request. Now he
and his wife have been TO New York to
see the play. and are wholly reconciled.
As for Aunt Louisa, they are even
satisfied with her. Miss Marie Pavey, the
actress who takes the part OF 10, tells
with the greatest pride how Mrs. Alcot
came behind the scenes, put her arms
around her and said:

providing new floor for the library, and
yesterday he introduced resolution
looking to the removal from the basement
of a lot of old books and things that have
Uttered up the place just about as long
as he proposes to stand for.
BY and by, he hopes to get a new dome
to replace the old tin thing that now
adorns the capitol which is a black as
the ace of spades, anyway.

pipe dream.

around.
In delivering an grafton before the
house Wednesday, advocating the $4,000
appropriation to the state normal school
in Athens, the gentleman from Meri

howlers." as he called them. and said the
statement or the intimation that the state
of Georgia is "broke," or anywhere near
the verge of bankruptcy is false.
Georgia is not spending more than her
income said Mr. Jones. "She has not
spent more than her income for several
years The reports of the treasurer
show that l am right and the comp
troller generals reports show that the
other official is right"
Every time an appropriation that a
few big takers in the house oppose gets
up, we hear great howl that the state
is bankrupt and that she is living beyond
her means!"
The statement is false and 1 am sick
and tired having this state published
abroad as a pauper and a bankrupt to
her financial disadvantage in the great
money centers when there is no truth in
the statement. The truth is a number
of members of this house have political
ambitions to serve that they are willing
to serve by Misrepresentation They are
willing to advertise Georgia as bankrupt
if it viii push their little booms along.
The state is solvent-the margin of
solvency is wide, at least ample Why
seek to make it appear otherwise"

of the appropriations committee of the
house, and is entirely familiar with the
states financial affairs
