piece of MARITIME glass or even a repro
duction in the beautiful translucent
coral red characteristic of this glass,
simple in outline, makes delightful
touch of color to relieve the sobriety
Of the decoration.
When filled with white flowers or
those of the same tone as the glass the
effect is particularly charming. Green
and yellow are also used in a variety
of designs for finger bowls, boxes,
compotes and vases, all without orna-
ment.
In the matter of furniture. painted
wood in soft gray tones makes an
appropriate and inexpensive means OF
supplying the daintiness and simplicity
associated particularly with the bed
room of the country house, and is
newer than white Cushions for chairs

Of poplin, of soft Du Barry pink or
old French blue at prices not exces-
sive.
LACQUER furniture, while rarely to be
found in the original, has proven
satisfactory substitute and, when car
ried out in detail that furniture OF
lighter wood could not suggest, lends
a dignity to the bedroom or living
room. 1t gives character to the room
and offers a harmonious background
for fine bits of Chinese embroidery,
which can be used as draperies tor
lamp shades.
Where moderate expense must be
considered, the many attractive re-
productions OF blue hawthorn and
other ware make desirable bases for
lamps. The latter coloring and de-
sign can also be carried out in jar
dinieres and chintz draperies. but pos

w crl' or fashion, II is perhaps
not remarkable that it should
likewise have influenced the scheme
of summer decoration. 1t has become
the prominent note in hangings and
draperies this season and has rele-
gated the familiar lowered chintz to
comparative obscurity.
Except where the flowers have been
conventionalized and grouped in tiny
punches at regular intervals between
the stripes, or when they appear in
the more modern designs, which are
shown in toile de Jouy and have come
to us from the studios of Vienna and
Paris, the rambling designs of flowers
in large patterns have for the moment
lost their place in the country house,
unless, perhaps, in the exception when
birds appear in the design, then foliage
and flowers become again a part OF
the decoration.
Now that the work Of the modern
lists has outgrown its novelty abroad 1t
is finding an awakening appreciation
here. as is evidenced by the effects
of color and design now available IN
both hangings and rugs. Even in the
woollen rugs, with centres Of one solid
color, the border is made to duplicate
that of the hangings. Other simple
weaves and fabrics have felt the touch,
and textiles OF marvellous hues are to
be had to meet the demand for daring
color combinations and unusual de
sign.
Black, which last season formed the
background upon which the vivid col
ors Of brilliant flowers and birds stood
out in bold relief or served to sill
houette the familiar figures character
izing Chinese designs, now appears as
a telling line or stripe in an otherwise
colorful pattern, or possibly as a stem
cilled outline against the creamy
ground of an undyed linen fabric
Black and white combined has become
a favorite scheme for curtains and
can also be found in materials for
window draperies, such as Madras, in
a small lattice pattern. For this pur-
pose nets Of the finest mesh, together
with the scrims with printed flower
borders, have won the greatest popu-
lsrity.
Black and white effects in carpet,
Stimulating the large checkered marble
flooring, is an unusual adaptation for
this purpose Of a color combination
which finds a particularly happy ex-
preston in the quaint jars and COM
potes of Viennese china. whose dec

8 WOMANS VARIED INTERESTS

shades for hanging lamps, with all the =
charm OF the oldtime decoration of
coloring, can be found in the studios
here, a temptation to every woman
who understands the beauty of this
almost forgotten decorative art.
While above all the country house
accessories. the telephone is unques-
tonably the one Of greatest service,
modern ingenuity and invention have
not succeeded in devising an appro-
pirate disguise, unless inclosed within
a booth or closet. Any feature con-
tributing toward the identifying or
concealment of the instrument is glad
ly welcomed, such as the attractive
new leather pinwheel shaped "fonel-
ists," which fit around just back of
the mouthpiece. These are made also
in 'leatherette" and in variety of
colors, such as purple, blue, rose,
green and yellow with a delicate
fooled decoration. Each leaf of the
pin wheel, so to speak, is marked with
a letter, and if pulled out from the
list can conveniently give the desired
address or number, even while the
telephone is in use.
The rests, or wooden brackets, espe-
cially made for the telephone, are con-
structed to fit in a corner at any con-
venient height and consist Of sup
ports with single shelf decorated in
Italian floral designs upon yellow or
green backgrounds, or in a Chinese
decoration against a background of
the same tones. These are especially
desirable in a hallway where table
would be awkward and an encum-
brance.
In china, for table use, the copies
of old Chelsea, Wedgwood and Spode
are the newest and most desirable
substitutes for the old, and in their
gay lowered designs and brilliant
pheasant colorings make strong APP
peal for country use. The new tiny
silver flower holders, with FIVE small
rings attached to slender bar to
hold short stemmed flowers, such as
violets, when fitted on to the edge of
the finger bowl, are also decidedly ef-
fective and decorative.
Children's rooms in their diminu-
tive detail have received more atten-
ton than ever this summer. In the
studios and shops scarcely a feature
that is made for growu-ups is not
duplicated now in miniature for the
child. The painted furniture, decorat-
ed with Noah's ark animals and farm
yard scenes, is favorite type for
nursery use. This includes a mirror
in a gray painted frame, at the top OF
which a cartouche, in which appears
chicken IN relief, is typical Of the
fanciful decoration now made to please
/ the child. Where door from the
nursery opening into an adjoining
room is to be kept open or at de-
sired angle, large sized wooden cat
with. curled tail above its back makes
an amusing doorstep. These are
painted black, and although made in
an exaggerated size with weighted
base can easily be carried from place
TO place,

Handkerchief linen is the material

Need Little Material.
A very few yards of linen are need
ed for morning frocks of the skirt
nd-skeleton-bodice type. One of the
new models in peasant blue linen has
a plain and very scant skirt, which at
the back runs half way to the shoulder
blades and there extends into long,
lour-inch wide tabs. These cross each
other at the bust and following the
lines of the pointed front opening of
a finely pleated blue batiste bodice

shoulders.
Seven-inch wide bands make the
lower half of the cross-pleated sleeves,
and the narrowest Of white batistc
frills outline the neck. With white
gloves, white pumps and narrow
black velvet ribon throat band this
frock is exceptionally smart. The
same model might be made up in Can
ton, dark green, rose or pale yellow.
Even Foulard Is Used.
Foulard has not been neglected by
summer morning frock designers, for
never has this printed silk been more
2lluring.

corners of which turn upward and are
nailed in place with blue-covered but
tons.
A second box pleated frill outlines
the square neck Of blouse matching
the bolero's facing and soft belt. The
belt heads an overskirt which falls in
deep, inverted box-pleated points over
the side of narrow skirt, which gains

amendment: IF you favor this

HARKENING TO STRANGER.

Il was entirely at sea-" said an
Illinois school teacher in testifying
at a Government investigation of
land frauds in the Florida Ever
glades. She had been asked how
she felt when she attempted to go
to her farm.
Her answer was literally cor
rect. After running an automobile
as far as possible she left the ma
chine and waded through water un-
til she reached a depth of one and
half feet; then she gave up the
hope of seeing her farm.
The land was represented to be
so rich that no fertilizer would be
required. Nor was frost ever
known there. Doubtless these
statements were correct.
Several tim ies each generation
smooth-tongued sharpers pass
through the United States selling
marvellous bargains in land under

by sloughs. The sales are usually
made sight unseen" and the pro-
moter has disappeared before the
fraud is discovered.
Always there seems to be a har-
vest of dollars awaiting the un-
scrupulous cleaner. The Govern
ment attempts to protect the guilt

justice is dilatory in getting in mo-
ton. Such cases must be dealt

The fire which partly destroyed
the home of Mrs. Arthur Bruton

Now Chief Kurtz is taking no
chances. Despite the cold weather
he spent the greater part of this

the fire station to his apartments.
Hereafter only the phone at the
station will ring, but the pressing
