Chests. which came overseas with
the c%olonists. by degrees. were raised
upon t~restles and fitted with drawers.
finally becoming chests of drawers.
If the colonial farmers wife possessed
only one of these c~onveniences she
kept it in her living room where the
modern housewife should place the
reproduction in mahogany to be pur-
chased for about $50. On it she can
put her heavier pieces of plate. Truth
to tell. the farmers wife had more
pewter than solid silver pieces and
these she kept in doo~r-protected cup
boards built into the corners OF the
living room. If rich in fine porcelain.
she displayed it in a court cupboard
made Of movable shelves and placed
above a chest of drawers or against
the panel between adjacent windows
and doors. They make charming
racks for books.
If the cottage living room is not
larger than twenty feet square. have

persons may he comfortably seated
and between meals it may he pushed

dining table and in the enter Of tho
apartment should he a colonial but
terfy' with rounded leaves that let

sive wood. costs than s25.
Sleeping Chambers.
For the sleeping chambers get
white enameled wood short poster
hedsteads. These are inexpensive as
are also the low-legged chests OF
latter should surmount dressing tables
Of implanted boards covered with
Toile de Jouy. The farmers wife OF
the year 1899 was a bit "hipped" on
the subject Of these linens, hand
painted in huge designs showing
birds. animals Or gardens inhabited
by lovely ladies. befrilled cavaliers
and strutting peacocks. She used
yards upon yards of these linens for
lids and window curtains, but the
modern housewife would best drape
her living room windows with dotted
Swiss. novelty scrim or fish net
Charming for sleeping chambers and
giving just enough distinctive color,
are the madras weaves cross-striped
with yellow. ~ or blue. and the
lovely cotton gauzes in dull blue. gold
en- brown, green or cherry.
Rag rugs. which come in tones per.
fectly according with Toile de Jouy
prints, are the ideal floor covering fol
the summer cottage. Very large rugs
cost about $40 each. and very small
ones 81 apiece.
Paint the plaster finished walls OF
the living room with pale yellow OF
green. dull rose or dark brown. Chi.
nese blue is good only when the room
is lighted by south and west windows
The most sanitary manner Of treating
chamber walls is to keep them pure
white by having them regularly gone
over with whiting.
With the exception Of it's foor, the
kitchen would best be kept modern.

own praises. On 1t she kept her wash

them in the modified types which will
suit shorter necks and plumper shoul-
ders thar the masculine Robespierre,
Richelicu and D'Israeli demand.
Overblouses.
The Cossack and fchu warehouses
nave proved so popular that makers
are having a hard time to keep the
retailers supplied. If ever an item
of costume filled a long-felt feminine
need. these useful little blouse adj
5uncts surely do! A pretty fichu may
tentious-and even half-worn waist
and presto! one has a graceful gar
ment ft for an appearance at an in
formal dinner or a card-party. There
are fichus which fall to the waistline
at front and back. covering all of the
waist beneath except the lower edge
Of the elbow sleeves; and there are
which use the. blouse beneath as an
effective background for the rich lace
of which they are fashioned. A Paris
fchu of the type mentioned Is circular
in shape and is really a cape made
of layers of flet lace and Val entire
deux with a fringe Of white cotton
falling from the lower edge. Smart
black velvet bows at back and front
hold h lace cape against the waist
line. and a piping of the velvet around
the top outlines a modest decolletage.
Another fichu is made Of two long
strips of net. edged with wide lace.
A strip Is tossed over each shoulder
and drawn down in soft folds at the
waistline under wide. fiat bows at
fchu falling over the shirt. Another
accessory of this sort shows wide
bretelles of Irish and filet lace, beau
tifully combined with handwork. The
bretelles are wider at the shoulders
than at h waistline. and the ends
pass under a draped belt of satin and
fall in tabs over the skirt at front and
back.
Satin Shocks.
In line With. the fancy for bright
colored blazer coats. are gay satin
for wear Yer black satin or wolfe
skirts. Miss Margaret Anglin in one
of her plays this season wore a vivid
cardinal satin waist of his sort. with
two sharp coat-tails falling over the
black skirt at h back. The peasant
smock." may be of scarlet or bright
green satin, but it is usually trimmed
gold embroidery along the lines of pip
ing which outline h edge of the pep
lum and open underarm seams, the
outer side of the sleeve. the sleeve
edge and the neck. A black satin belt
with a gold ornament confines the
loose smock at the waistline.
Collar blouses" are a useful addi-
ton to the ummer wardrobe. These
blouses are simple. tailored models Of
~pin-tucked batiste or handkerchief
linen with round or square turnover
collars attached. Sometimes the COL
lar is of Irish crochet and a band Of
the same lace trims the front of tho
blouse and the long sleeve in distin-
guished manner. The simpler the
style Of the tailored blouse and the
finer the material. the more distinctive
and aristocratic the model-and alas
for comfort! long sleeves seem to be
the truly elite thing. no matter howm
the collar is fashioned.

Equipping the Cottage for Summer

One thousand dollars seems like a
small sum With which to comfortably
furnish and equip a summer cottage.
But 1t can be done by initiating the
simple and substantial furnishings Of
the colonial farmers house. That
sturdy pioneer had a fancy for spa-
cious rooms and a few of them. Usu-
ally there We're six sleeping cham
bers. a kitchen and a long. Vide. low
ceiled living room. In the latter the
family breakfasted. dined and supped
behind a screened-off table; it was
many years before an apartment was
kept exclusively for meals. While it
Is probable that the very poor pioneer

with the first settlers. In fact, the

fore. is simply that used in the col
onies during the sixteenth. seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. and to speak
Of 1t as a distinct type is a mistake.
Why not start the furnishings Of
the living room in the same way as
the colonial farmers wife started
hers? A heavy wooden beam running
across the top Of the fireplace was
hewn into a mantel tree. On this she

IT was a habit formed in youth.
Some go because they like to hear
The preacher rake their neighbors

Some go TO show their dress. and stare
AT what the other people Wear.
Some go because they are AFRAID
To not do so might injure rade.
Some go because they think it squares
The weekday shady sin affairs.
Some go to take a quiet snooZs
While sitting in the restful peWs.
Lulled by a sporif'c talk
As gentle as a cradle rock.
Some 90, but under protest, who
Have uifeys who compel them to.
Some go hut SOLELY to admire
The singing of a high-priced choir.
Some go because they really fear
The temperature beyond the bier.
Imagine that the Church's brand
Will pass them to the Promised Land.

Much golden grain of humankind,
Good Christian mon and women. who
To holy things are ever true.

Who really go to Worship God

Of earth who never go at all!
