GIRLS BEDROOMS.
How to Make Them Attractive at
Small Expense.
EFFECTS WITH CUSHIONS.

If You Have an Old Indigo Blue Bed
spread In Woven Design Use 1t BY
All Means In Your Furnishings-De.
iehtful Color Scheme In Shell Pink
The Charm of Fish Net.
Here are some suggestions for max
ing a young girls bedroom charming
and dainty during the summer months.
If you have among the heirlooms in
your house an old woven bedspread of
wool in indigo blue and white you can
make a wonderful cushion out of blue
denim, with some embroidered Japa
nese swallows in flight on it. The
stitches can be of the long and easily
worked type, and you will be sur
prised to find how few of them will
make dainty, airy effect in embroid-
ering these white and gray swallows
skitnming across an imaginary sky of
denim.
If your bedsptead is of cretonne,
with a canary tone predominating,
your cushion would be a perfectly
charming one made of pale gold
shade of sateen with a small spray of
purple wistaria embroidered across it
or else big purple clematis. Tie this
to the chair with violet ribbon. The
bedspread and cushions really give the
keynote to the room i'll color and are
very important in the scheme of fur
nishings. Now. suppose your favorite
color to be shell pink You can carry
out the scheme in a bedspread of
sateen with appliques of lace medal
lions over it at intervals. and you can
have cushions of the same sateen with
smaller lace medallions thereon. Fish
net is very artistic used over plain
color for spread and cuslSons. With q
big. soft bow of ribbon on the spread
and one on the tie couch cushion. A
simple delft pattern is lovely in ere
tonne. and this makes a pretty blue
and white spread and cushions with
delft blue bows. But the most fasci
mating color for a spread is light
green. It is airy and springlike. and
| the embroidered fern front for the
cushion is just perfect in the way OF
suggesting the return of buds and
! flowers to the woods.

New Materials For Pillow Tops,

Moquette velours, new among pillow
top fabrics, is a lovely weave of soft
est coloring in Persian rug designs
and. while a bit expensive, is reputed
to wear indefinitely. OF equally at
tractive design and coloring are the
squares of silk tapestry or silk damask
that come in the various pillow sizes.
and somewhat more practical looking
are the tops Of hand fooled leather in
Indian red, Chinese blue and Japanese
tea green. A new material of the
launderable sort that is ideal for pill
low tops and far from costly is an I'M
fadable madras of lacy openwork
weave. It comes in lovely shades of
green. brown. blue. rose and gold. In
two toned effects and in combinations
of brown with green or rose and of
pale blue with gold or violet.

BELLOWS FALLS.
Parish House Committee to Report.

An important meeting of the attend
ants at the Congregational church has
been called for next Thursday evening
in relation to the erection of parish
house. The Bible school has entirely
outgrown its present quarters, it being
necessary to use the vestibule, coat
room, kitchen and choir for classes,
and even this does not relieve the
crowded condition Of the primary and
kindergarten rooms.
Recognizing this fact, and encour-
aged by generous gifts toward enlarg-
ed quarters, a committee of nine was
chosen early in March, Who will have
looked into the conditions, POSSIBLE
ties and needs of the future and will
make their report Thursday evening
A subcommittee has visited schools in
Boston, Worcester and Springfield hav-
ing modern equipment. Much time has
been spent by them and their report
will he very complete.
The general idea is to provide a
building about 46 by so feet, two
stories high and connected with the
church in the rear with an additional
entrance from the right-of-way east OF
the church. The first floor con a level
WITH tne NeSJfN Is uesiSheu " Voh
tain a large primary room, special
kindergarten room and Junior room.
! The second floor Con a level with the
church, is designed Ito contain the
main assembly room of the Bible
school, about ~ by IS feet, with
| class rooms on sides, also church Of
fee and library. 1t is planned to
have a gallery on three sides of the
assembly room, containing nine class
rooms. The assembly room opens into
the auditorium through large folding
doors. The general plans, drawing ano
approximate cost viii be laid before
the meeting, and if approved it Is pos
sible work can be begun on the adj
ditions at an early date.

HOLIDAY MAKERS.
Timely Tips For Vacationists That
May Come In Handy.

After walking in the rain it is a
good idea to lay ones boots on their
sides in order that air may get to the
wettest parts. If boot trees have been
left at home the boots should be stuff
ed with newspaper, which will keep
them in shape.
The unaccustomed hardness of the
water mars the pleasure Of holiday
makers in some parts of the country
little borax or ammonia will prove a
good softener.
A canvas covered travelling trunk
may be waterproofed as follows: Make
up q liquor of one pound of yellow
soap dissolved in a quart of hot water.
Add to this three quarts of boiled oil
and a quart of turpentine. Mix we'll
together and apply two coats. When
thoroughly dry apply third coat in
which about twice its weight of dark
brown oxide or lampblack ground in
oil has been well stirred. This may
now be coated over once or twice with
very hard black japan slightly thinned
with turpentine or (more cheaply) with
a good paint thinned with best copal
varnish and turpentine.
Put few paper napkins in your bag
when travelling. When your hands get
dirty or sticky use a clean paper nap
kin to wipe them. If the railway cal
window is steamed and you wish to
look out wipe it with one of the paper
napkins. You will in this way save
many ordinary handkerchiefs.
If the necessary black boot polisf
has been left behind cut orange dip
ped in a shovelful of SCOT from the
chimney is a makeshift which can usu
ally be turned to account in the mos
out of the way places. The carbon
from a kettle is just as good for tn,
! purpose as chimney SCOT.

Past Master, s Apron Presented.

apron was made to Starks Edison OF
Saxtons River by a delegation of four
prominent members of the order in
New York city, who came here for
that purpose. Mr.. Edison was for sew
eral wears master of one of the larg-
est lodges in New York while a resi-
dent of that city and the regard in
which he was held by his lodge there
was evidenced several years ago when
they presented him handsome gold
watch. Their esteem for him evidently
still continues for while Mr.. Edison
has now lived here % years or more
they 'honored him by sending a dele
cation of four, three of. whom We're
attorneys, to present him further
token of their regard. Since living

Boycotting Mrs. Pankhurst

DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the National Woman's Suffrage
association, will not be one of those
to take part in the welcome to Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant En-
glish leader, at Madison Square Gar
den. DIR. Shaw learns that Mrs. Pank-
bursts visit to America is under the
auspices of GROUP of business men"
and if there are any profits made none
will find way into the Golfers of or
CARNATIONS struggling for the ballot
for woman in the United States.
Mrs. Pankhurst, it now appears, has
been guaranteed $1,000 for her Madi-
son Square Garden address, and in adj
dition will be given percentage of
the gate receipts and allowed to take
up collection and secure pledges of
further financial aid. She is simply
taking advantage of grand oppor-
tunity to commercialize her notoriety.
DIR. Shaw declares she will take
steps to reassure the American public
that militancy has never been re-
sorted to in this country and never
will be, if those in active charge of
the suffrage movement can prevent
it. This is the attitude of many of
those most prominent in the work.
Mrs. Pankhurst's coming meets with
no sympathy from them. They feel
that their cause will be injured rather
than aided by her presence.

THE DRAMA TODAY

From THE New Revolt Against Broad
way" by John Corbin, in the October
Scribner.
An actor long known as one of our
foremost artists was lately playing at
the Garrick theatre New York, which
is under the management of leading
producer and has long been associated
with the higher order of drama. Re-
peatedly when he unmarked in a taxi
cab from a prominent restaurant for his
evenings performance, the Broadway
pathfinder blandly inquired where the
Garriclx might be. Finally, in mood
of humorous indignation. the actor
Why, don't you know? 1t is where
John Mason is staring in the new Bern
stein piece" Beg pardon. mister" said
the cabby; youth have to put me wise
to them ginks too
In telling the story Mr. Mason re-
marked that there may be something
in the idea that the play business has
been spoiled by the overbuilding of the
aires.
Some 10 years ago, when the once
portentous theatrical syndicate was
forming, there were II producing
houses in New York. Today there are
over 40. Yet the managers complain
that it is impossible to make the public.

have opened their doors to moving

In the near future the rest of them
would be converted into garages for
storing the motor cars of the people
who attend them. The conditions are
similar throughout the country.
For many years there has been a
revolt against Broadway and all that ii
stands for We are familiar enough
with the cry that the drama has been
debased by being commercialized To-
day, after all allowances are made for
the exaggerations of humor or of de-
spair. the fact is clear enough that the
drama has become not only inartistic
but uncommercial.

Huerta Grows Desperate

DIR. Belisaro Dominguez, member of
the Mexican senate from the state of
Chiapas, early this month arose from
his seat, and exercising, he supposed,
constitutional prerogative, criticised
the Huerta administration. DR.. DOM
inguez declared that not only had
nothing been done toward the pacifi-
cation of the country, but in reality
conditions now are much worse than
they were before the overthrow of
Madero.
DR.. Dominguez has disappeared. His
friends know nothing of his where
abouts, but they suspect that Huerta
does. Other members of congress be-
came alarmed, and threatened to hold
their meetings at some point not so
completely under the domination of the
provisional president. Huerta's an
swer was to fill the chamber of depu-
ties with troops, arrest ITO of the
members, and cart them off to the
penitentiary.
Huerta disdains to argue. Bayonets
are his oratory. He hesitates not to
trample down every right guaranteed
the citizens of his country if his own
interest is to be served. The high
handed outrage of Friday night has
few presidents in history And many
have urged that this man be given
the official countenance of the United
States government.
