they almost seem to represent the

Should Have Substantial Supports.
The present tendency in interior
decoration is to make the best pos
sible use Of the walls Of room. The
walls. OF course, define a rooms pro-
portions, and should be treated with
a certain degree of strength and EN-
vhasis. This use OF walls to supply
decorative effect renders il unneces-
sary to crowd a room with many
small objects scattered over its floor
area. and il is becoming customary
&c use a few really good objects well
placed rather than a great number OF
small ones arranged without any
very particular regard toward unity
OF effect.
Pieces OF statuary, suitably placed
upon substantial articles OF furniture
or even upon solid and dignihed
pedestals, are often very decorative
il used with discretion and modera-
ton. but statuary should never be
rlaced upon supports so fragile THAI
they suggest instability or which
give one the idea that they might be
easily overturned.
Ivory Tinted Panels in Brick Walls.
The tendency toward a more gen.
eral use of the wall surfaces OF
room opens up great number OF
opportunities for the Use OF plaster
casts in bas trelief. Such reliefs are

is embroidered in the punched out

A piece OF material IL inches by

white linen or a good quality OF

shown in the diagram. The length
OF this ribbon may vary from 80 OF

they are slant gathered TO the edge
of straps which cross the shoulders
and arc finished at the back of the

The charmeuse skirt, gathered

with this frock is worn straight

AT 'lic back the shoulder straps
are hidden by page cape in tue
crepe which, however, does not
cover the arm tops. Fortunately so,
too, as this model has an entirely
novel sleeve. Somewhat on bishop
lines, it is both tight at the wrist,
where it is gathered under pleated
tulle frills, and at the top, where It
is shirred under a fine cording, into
low-dropped arm eyes. These seem
small, indeed, as compared with
those of the plain blue corselet.
Vari-Colored Striped Taffeta.
Multi-color striped tafeta used
with black silk are among the most
fetching OF the late models. The
striped blouse of one of these frocks
has black mousquetaire sleeves
trimmed with black onyx buttons.
Its full width black silk sash is bow
knotted at left of back to fall upon
a hounce of the stripping applied
obliquely-high on the left hip and
low on the right hip-but neverthe-
less of even length at the knees.

TO adapt it to this use many "pleats"
have been made, which have been
concealed by the design of the Dor
der. The result is an exceedingly
rich and beautiful effect which has
been secured at a trifing cost and
which may offer an idea for a some
what similar treatment elsewhere.
Reproductions of Old worries.
But it is not only the reproduc-
tons Of large and striking casts that
are available as interior decorations.
Much OF the most beautiful of an
cient and medieval sculpture was in
the form Of ories-"diptychs,"
made to commemorate the anniver-
saries Of the old Roman consuls and
the later "triptychs," in which the
subjects are TO great extent OF
either religious or semi-religious
nature. A diptych consists Of two
panels folded over one another, and
a triptych OF three, the two outer
panels fitting over the centre one.
These small objects. almost always
of ivory. were carved with crafts
ranship truly exquisite and thei-
reproductions in plaster, after being
very carefully colored, possess much
OF the beauty and very nearly all the
decorative quality OF the originals;
end while the originals are among
the chief treasures of the great mu-
seums the reproductions are to be
lad at very small cost.
There are also reproductions of the
covers Of the huge choir books and
altar books OF "missals. which were
made for use in the great churches,
abbeys and cathedrals OF Europe
during the Middle Ages. These COW

Where it is hardly possible to
build such casts into wall, digni-
fed treatment is to surround them
with frames. preferably OF wood.
The form which the frame may as

background. or the cast may be hung
against a fragment Of old tapestry
or 4 bit of fabric, which will give
the dignity which so important an
object demands.
One very successful use Of a
plaster cast as an over-mantel deco
