In a recently furnished and very beau
tiful house in New York the sort o
scrim that is made with satin stripe OF
color in the border was used. The borde
was mitered so that it went across the
bottom and up the front edges Of the
curtains. The hem was hemsttched ir
coarse blue silk of deep shade. About
an inch inside of this hem q two-incf
band of blue silk braid was stitched, b.
machine. This braid gave weight and
richness to otherwise simple curtains.
In room with these curtains there was
an interesting table cover. quite as good

It was made of a strip Of natural col

on which 1t was laid. and not quite SC

an inch inside the hemstitching the blue

now printed in dark and beautiful colors
and used in combination with grass
cloth-that is to say, velours is used for
window curtains and grass cloth is used
on the walls. Yellow grass cloth, of a soft
yet brilliant shade, would be combined
with yelours showing a dull brown
ground and a little red and yellow In the
printed figures-dull shades of red and
yellow-or gray grass cloth. with sill

gray and old blue velours.
Black and white linen bids fair to find
much favor, especially when warmer
weather comes. Nothing cooler or more
restful can be imagined than a room
hung with black and white linen and
furnished with white furniture, cushioned
IN black velvet.
This linen is expensive. 1t is heavy
quality, with uneven threads. and the
white ground is of an oyster shade The
black figures are sometimes of floral
nature and sometimes take the form of
small men and women in stately costume
dancing a minuet, or riding to the hunt
or sitting idly under black-leaved trees.

1--WE old day of the fat circular
watch that was fastened in the
belt by means OF a fob or in the
pocket by means of a chain has passed
bs-- y new day has dawned, wherein
globular and square and oblong watch
Is are worn on the wrist. about the
neck or on the muff or handbag with
perfect equanimity on the part of the
wearer and without injury, strange to
say, to the delicate mechanism of the
watches.
The globular watch. or the ball
watch. as it is called. is in an enamel
case that is a ball. The watch Is on
one face or quarter Of the ball. It
is hung about the neck by means Of
narrow velvet ribbon. strung with lit
tie silver or gold slides. The velvet is
the color of the enamel.
OF course the locket watch is still
worn and it SENS to grow daintier and
daintier. Sometimes 1t is incrusted in
diamonds or other precious stones, set
in platinum and sometimes it is simply
mounted in a narrow gold case. but in
both cases it is a marvel of dainty
workma nShip.
The watch may be hung about the
u,-ck now on small silken cord, COL
ored to match or harmonic with the
froek. This cord generally ends in
two tassels and it is knotted together
just above the tassels. The watch is
fastened by means of a little knot
about half way between the tassels,
and hangs, locket fashion, about the
neck Of course. a longer cord may
IL worn and the watch may then be
tucked in the bodice.

Dried Fruits Afford Delicious
Desserts.

"HETHER used as substitutes for
w fresh or preserved fruit, or mixed
into cakes. buildings and other
dishes, dried fruits offer a wholesome,
nutritious and economical way Of secur-
.ng variety in the diet. They are espe-
ciaily useful when the supply of fresh
fruits is limited.
The food value of a dish of cooked dried
fruit is practically the same as that OF
fresh fruit prepared with like amount
OF sugar and Juice. Evaporated or dried
apples. properly soaked. can be used like
fresh fruit for making pies and buildings,
and In countless other ways. Prunes are
used for numerous dishes. Sometimes
lemon juice. orange peel or cinnamon is
added to stewed prunes for sake of va
riety. The combinations that can be made
with dried fruits are almost endless.
To preserve their rich, fruity flavor, do
not boil prunes. Soak them over night
IN cold water to cover them. then take
them out and boil the water in which
they were soaked for fifteen minutes add
ing sugar. Put in the prunes and let
them merely simmer for half an hour.
Some cooks simply pour boiling hot water
over them and let them stand on the
back OF the stove a few hours A new
flavor can be given by adding a few
slices of lemon. Another method Is to
cook them with a bag of spices. Prunes
are improved in flavor II a little cider
is added to them
Prune dainty: Rub one pint Of stewed
prunes through the colander Soak two
taoiespoonfuls of gelatine in six table
spoonfuls of cold water for fifteen min
utes, then pour over the gelRtine half a
cup OF boiling water. Add the prune
mixture and the Juice of one lemon. Put

To Clean CoIored Fabrics.

- RATE raw potatoes to a fine pulp in
" clear water. and pass the liquid
through a coarse sieve into another yes
sci of water. Let the mixture stand until
the fine white particles OF the potato a:e
precip!tated, then pour the water or ara
preserve for use. This liquid will clean
all sorts of silk. cotton or wooden goods
without hurting them or spelling the
color. Two good-sized potatoes are
sufflcient for q pint Of water.
The article to be cleaned should be laid
upon a linen cloth on q table, and, hay-
ing provided a clean sponge. dip II into
the potato water and apply 1t to the
article to be cleaned until the dirt Is en-
tirely separated; then wash in clean
water several times.
The coarse pulp. which does not pass
through the sieve, is of great use In
cleaning wool draperies. carpets and
other coarse goods.
