LITTLE BEDTIME STORIES.
THE SCHOOL IN THE OLD
ORCHARD.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Little Foxes, little Chucks,
Little Squirrels. Mice and Mink,
Just like little boys and girls,
Go TO school and learn to think.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

You didn't know that, did you? Well,
it's a fact? Yes. sir, it's fact. All
the babies born in the Green Forest or
on the Green Meadows or around the
Smiling Pool have to go to school just
as soon as they are big enough to leave
their own doorsteps. They go to the
greatest school in the world, and it is
called the School of Experience. Old
Mother Nature has charge Of it, but the
teachers usually are father and mother.
for the first few weeks, anyway. After
that Old Mother Nature herself gives
them few lessons, and very stern
teacher she is. They just have to learn
her lessons. If they don't. something
dreadful is almost sure to happen
OF course, Sammy Jay knew all this,
because he had had to go to school when
he was little fellow. SO Sammy was not
much surprised when from his snug hid
ing place. in one of the old apple trees
he discovered that there was a school
in Farmer Browns old orchard. Johnny
Chuck was the teacher and his three
baby Chucks were the pupils. Sammy
Jay was so interested in that funny lit
tie school in the old orchard that he
quite forgot to think about mischief
The very first lesson that the three
little Chucks had to learn was obedience.
Johnny Chuck was very particular about
l..
learned this first of all none of the other
lessons would do them much good. They
must first learn to mind instantly without
asking questions. Dear me, dear me,
Johnny Chuck certainly did have his
hands full teaching those three little
Chucks to mind, You see, they were such
lively little chaps, and there was SO much
that was new and wonderful to see that
it was dreadfully hard work to sit per-
fectly still just because Johnny Chuck
told them to. But if they didn't mind in
stantly they were sure to have their ears
soundly boxed, and sometimes were sent
back to the house without taste of the
sweet, tender, young clover, of which
they were SO fond
After few lessons of this kind they
found out that it was always best to
obey instantly, and then Johnny began
to teach them other things, things which
il is very important that every Chuck
should know. First there were signals.
When Johnny whistled a certain way it
meant: "A stranger in sight: possible
danger" Then each little Chuck would
sit up very straight and not move the
teeniest, weeniest bit SO that from a lit
tie distance they looked for all the world
like tiny stumps. But all the time their
sharp little eyes would be looking this
way and that way to see what the danger
might be. After while Johnny would

SHORT TALKS ON
HOUSEFURNISHING
BY KATE GREENLEAF LOCKE.
The Use and Abuse of Chintzes.

In what lies the 'invariable charm OF
an English drawing room? One often
hears this question asked because the
sweet livabIeness of this room appeals
to every one who sees it.
It is not because it is furnished in
Chippendale or Adam, Hepplewhite or
Sheraton. for all these types of chairs
and divans. tables and cabinets, have
been used in such way in our own
colonial 'parlors'' as to present at times
an almost forbidding aspect; but in
the attitude of an English drawing room
there is always an invitation to enter
and be at ease and certain alluring
beauty which irresistibly attracts. The
sofas with their gay chintz covers and
their softly colored pillows are low and
comfortable.
The easy chairs in the inevitable petit
coat are wide and deep, and invite one
to lOunge-the long windows that SO often
open on a garden or terrace or noWers
are screened by curtains. over which
the same roses that are disposed about
the room are climbing-stiff little chairs,
Oftenest of Adam make, break In be-
tween the delightful petticoated ones and
intercept the flow of chintz; and rare
old cabinets of dark wood hold the Won
derful collections of china that always
supplement- the chintz and seem to be-
long to it, For all of this gayety in
furnishings, the walls Of paneled wood
form a subduing background. No Eng
fish living room is without Its little
tables holding photographs in silver
frames, but there are few pictures hung
against the wall.
One notices, too, that there is little
gliding and few mirrors; but there are
flowers, flowers everywhere. Always
fresh. dewy and fragrant, for this item
of flowers is one Of the main features
of English furnishing, and it is the
serious life business of several people to
see that it is properly attended to. It
will readily be seen that a room fur
nished as 1 have described would have
an undeniable charm.
In the use of chintz and china there
is something intimate and personal, a
note OF coziness is struck that has an
entirely opposite effect to that produced
by decorations of bronze and marble.
with draperies Of velvet and brocade.
One feels at once the absence of os-
tentation and realizes the reason for
the peculiar genial charm Of the English
tea table.
The real use of chintZ ais a medium
of cozy suggestion is nowhere more evil
dent than in the great drawing room
Of Warwick Castle, room of such ire
mendous size and height that one feels
a pygmy in traversing it. There hang
Vandykes and Holbeins of priceless
value, and much of the furniture is
huge and imposing, but the rather be-
wilderng sense of magnificence is re-
placed by one of comfort and security
when we recognize before the fireplace
the familiar group of chintz-covered
chairs about tea table. The sense of
depression induced by the great build
ing of tragic history is transformed at
one glance into one of homely cheer.
Therefore, ] think it may be said that

Cooking Shad Roe.

Shad roe and bacon form delicious
combination. To prepare them boil the
roe fifteen minutes in salted water,
drain it and keep it warm over steam.
Fry the bacon crisp and brown, and In
the bacon fat brown the roe. Serve it
with the bacon and a garnish Of parsley
or crisp lettuce hearts.
Croquettes of shad roe are another
delicacy They are made of four roes
boiled in sailed water for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. While they are boiling make
a thick cream sauce of a pint of rich
milk or cream with four tablespoonfuls
of butter and four OF -four. Add the
cream sauce, a teaspoonful of salt, some
red pepper and the juice of two lemons
to the roes, cool, shape. dip in beaten

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Among the most satisfactory trimmings
| for evening gowns are the deep-beaded
and embroidered landings worked on net
| or chiffon, which can be found in Won
derful designs and colors to make of a
simple gown a thing of beauty. Often
the very best results are gained by hav-
| ing gown made extremely plain. but
with good lines. depending solely on the
use of some deep, handsome banding for
| the telling feature. But it is essential
that the banding used be worked on a
sheer fabric. The thick, heavy ones are
not used, and are not pretty.
For the pretty gown here illustrated
white chiffon and black charmeuse were
used. and as the entire design was to be
developed in black and white, deep
banding done in embroidery and pet beads
was chosen for the trimming. Though
landings may be easily applied as trim
ming to skirt, they are not, if very
wide. found so adaptable as corsage trim
ming, and so the best results can be
achieved by cutting out and app1iqueing
different sections of the trimming onto
the blouse in design to suit ones fancy
Naturally this should not be ATTEMPTED
by any who are not deft-fingered needle
women. The tunic of this dress is of
white chiffon, with sections of the band
ing appliqued on the front and sleeves
of the blouse. The tunic skirt has cut
out portions over the hips filed in with
chiffon that is gathered enough to give
a slight bouffancy to the sides. The rest
of the tunic Grapes around this and has
the jet and embroidered banding used
across the bottom. The remainder of the
skirt length is completed in black char
meuse draped up in front with edges
crossed. leaving a little open space at the
feet. There is a girdle of black char
meuse crushed about the waist and tied
loosely on one side.

the answer to the quotation asked con-
corning English furnishings is 'chintz.'
To the English decorator no surround
ings are too stately, no room too grand
and fine for the introduction Of his be-
loved fabric. and there has been a grow
ing tendency in the last few years in
this country to initiate him. However,
the glazed chintZes so popular in Europe
cannot be fully introduced here unit
we have also establishments for laun-
dering them SO as to preserve the glaze.
There are in existence in some old Eng
lish country houses bed hangings of
chintZ in excellent condition that, are
more than hundred years old.
l am an advocate of chintz and warm
admirer, but 1 think it should be used
with discretion. A house furnished
throughout with it would lose its dignity.
To obtain the full effect of its use it
should be employed in a room opening
out of one which is dark and dignified
such as a library. a state drawing room,
a dining room, etc. Bedrooms may al
ways be furnished effectively with it.
Fascinating little morning rooms and
boudoirs it makes gay and beautiful as
nothing else can. and to a family living
room it gives the charm l have been
endeavoring to describe.
