in drapery styles is the hanging Of

comes from Germany and is probably
the result OF European architects TO
design windows which run within an

leaving n foot or two Of wall above.

Sldcl boards Do the newest apartments,
A decided innovation IN sidchoards IS
those with marble tops. IN fact mar.
lie tops are used also on tables and
lurcas-nOt the Tennessee marble,
which we are so familiar with, but
beautiful Italian marble. A great deal
Of furniture in cane and wood COM
bined is used. II there is n plate rack
it is placed low enough TO be within
reach and only n few choice pieces Of
rare value should be placed upon It,.
Much Of the furniture used in the din
ing room has cane inserts. Round
tables are used more than square ones,
some tables are fitted with removable
tops so the entire room space may be
used If desired.
All supcrnuous furnishings should be
abandoned in the bedroom. The bed
room can easily with the least outlay
be made the most attractive room In
the house. Have the color Of the walls
plain and depend upon the color note
in your hHngiugs and coverings. 1t IS
wise TO follow the prevailing idea Of
having all the bedrooms in one color
with different cretonnes or chiutzes to
give the colorful note. There are such
allurng new art designs, peasant lin
ems, sunfast materials, taffetas, scrlms,
soft silks, etc, that one ought not to
find any difficulty I'm selecting Just the
right thing. Stripes and checks are
used. Some rooms are furnished en-
tlrely in cretonne with enameled
frames. 1t is possible not to purchase
an entire chamber suit which includes
the he'd, bureau, chairs, table, desk,
work table shlrtwaist boxes, chest
Of drawers, millinery boxes, etc. Even
though children are seen these days
as well as heard, It is good idea To
have n room especially ntted for the
little ones. There are new washable
materials which have borders suggcs-

The constitutionalist agents said
tonight, that despite the statement of
Breceda, CarranZa's secretary, that
the constitutionalist's won't parttci-
