The French Accessories

the dressing table and dresser and bu-
reau and chiffonier There are work boxes
and mending bags and tiny needle and
thfmble cases all to match. There are
lamps Of many. sorts with shades Of silk
and god lace and ribbons and flowers
There are cushions for the feet and for
the head and for the back made of tn.
same materials. Chairs are upholstered
In these materials and couch covers are
made of them. Altogether, moth ng much
more elaborate could be IMAGINED than
room furnished with many Of these &C
cessOries.
There ought to be many suggestions in
these things for the woman who is on the
lookout for new things to make FOR
Christmas. A picture frame covered with
o.d-gold silk. yelled in gold net and tr M
med with tiny god and rose-co.ored
flowers would make a charm ng gift Tor
the woman who has drawing room or
bOudoir or bedroom furnished in yellow
or brown. A lampshade for tiny night
lamp Of glass-the lampshade made of
rose-colored silk, mounted or a wire
frame, edged with a fringe of glass
beads, and festooned and wreathed with
tiny ribbon roses-would make another
charming gift. -
A cushion covered with corded old-blue
silk, with ruffle of cream lace and
roses of blue and god chiffon would be
attractive. All of these things require
skill and patience in the making. and the
outlay of a little money for materia S.
But they possess the economical advan-
tage that they can be made out OF any
materials you may have on hand. If you
have a square of rose silk and strip of
gold cord and half a yard of b ue ribbon.
you can make cushion, covered with the
pink silk and banded with blue ribbon.

that stretch between them.
Today, in spite of the tax about the

the simplifying of line and surface that
every one seems to be working for-there
is a revived interest In the accessories
of French housefurnishings. The noder,
boudoir abounds in ornaments and con-
veniences made of gilt and silk and satin
and chiffon and ribbons. The modern
drawing room gives accommodation to
many small accessories that call up Wis

OF the first empire.
Boxes for everything needed in a bou-

Hints for Housewives.

To exterminate red ants grease a plate
with lard and set it where they abound.
They prefer lard to anything else and will
forsake sugar and like sweets for it. Place
some sticks. bridgelike. from table to
plate for the ants to run up on. Use a
tin plate. and when 1t is pretty full. turn
1t bottom side up over the fire-the ants
will fall in with the melting fat. When
the plate is cool reset X as before. Sprin-
kle borax around the infested places.
To destroy burdocks cut close to the
ground with q sharp hoe and then apply
a few drops OF kerosene. A plant SO
treated will never appear again.
To remove moss on gravel walks, use a
broom on them made of wire: if the wire
IS made OF iron the broom should be well
dried and dipped in oil before and after
use.
To keep summer pears. gather them a
few days before fully ripe and wrap them
In thin paper, then put them away in a
cool place, where they are protected from
light and air. After few weeks examine
them and use them II they are ripened
enough.
To remove the smell Of new paint sprin-
kle hat with little chloride Of lime In a
receptacle and let it remain in the closed
room for an hour or more.
