SOMETHING NEW IN CUSHIONS
Well Not to Pile Them Up In 100
Much Profusion, but Some Are
Indispensable.

The fad for having divans piled up
with cushions OF promiscuous hues is
fortunately out of vogue, but an occa'
sional cushion in the more formal
drawing room, when it is really beau
tiful and artistic, is still a possession
to be priced and is indeed a thing OF
beauty, and makes most acceptable
gift. Such a cushion, instead of being
conspicuous and startling, should rath-
er tone in with the general color
scheme of the room, and none are
more splendid than those made from
harmonious pieces of tapestry which
can now be gotten in such exquisite
colors and designs.
To buy them made up ready for use,
Is rather an impossibility for those OF
moderate means, but they are within
the reach of almost every woman
who is handy with her needle, and
possesses the necessary patience. Odd
ends of tapestry, or small remnants
can be picked up very cheaply, and to
make their beauty more pronounced
as though the tapestry is woven by
hand. outline the flowers or conven-
tional designs or the pattern of which
It is composed with tarnished boul-
lion braid in gold, which is round
rather than fiat, and couch this on
with gold thread.
TO make the pillow the new oblong
shape, add a strip of velvet to each
end of the tapestry, and this velvet
should match or tone in with the pre-
dominating shade in the tapestry,
Where the velvet and tapestry meet
may be finished with tarnished gold
lace, and the same sort of a cord in
gold is used around the cushion when
1t is complete. The back Of the cush-
ion is made Of the plain velvet

New Fashion,

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
a couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply draped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi-
dered velvets, brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage, nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tulle and
lace, the draperies and the Innings
of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau
tful toilets

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be fitted
right side out-as it is to be worn.
Almost everyone has some variation
in the two sides Of the figure. One
shoulder will be trifie higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side trifle lower than it's mate, re-
sulting in a slightly longer wasted
underarm seam on that side than on
the other. Now, if you fit the waist
wrong side out, when you have
stitched the seams and put it on right
side out the fitting will be exactly
reversed. The high shoulder will be
in the side of the waist that was fitted
to the low shoulder.

Waist for a Velvet Suit.

Another blouse designed to wear
with a brown velvet skirt has in the
front and back bib-like pieces of the
velvet, which also forms the epau-
lettes. The body Of the waist is of a
soft, subdued blue chiffon, tucked in
clusters. The front piece of the vel
vet is cut low to display yoke en-
broidered in shades Of browns and
blues, and the inevitable touch of fur
is given by bands of skunk, which
mark the shoulder Iires and finish the
tucked chiffon sleeves, which barely
reach over the elbow

Fashionable PojSe

It is curious how the dress of to-
day reflects the fashionable poise of
the moment. The fashionable poise
for the feminine figure is that which
used to be called the Roman bend
we have had it before, though it was
long since discarded for the Grecian
bend, which was the antithesis of the
first. For the Roman bend we have
the oblique line Of trimming in the
skirts, and the opening in front over
the foot, corresponding with the drag
ging downward at the back of the
draperjes

The easiest thing In the world
Is to just sit back and growl.
When the dust Is -nadly whirled,
When the North winds flercely howl,
When the day Is warm and fair,
When the rill sings as 1t flows,
When fragrance fills the air,
When dew Is on the rose,
When the road Is rough and steep,
When the way is smooth and wide,
When the crops we hoped to reap
Have prematurely died,
When the friends we thought were trud
Have ruthlessly betrayed,
When the things we ought to do
Are foolishly delayed,
When others win where we
Might have achieved success,
When rich men in their glee
Forget our mirthlessness,
When others rise through worth.
Or by methods that are foul,
The easiest thing on earth
Is to just sit back and growl.

The Floor of q Coop.

Three kinds Of floors are in general use
among poultrymen = dirt. concrete and
wood. Each kind has its advocates.
Perhaps the advocate of each measures

such floors as these can be kept dry they
