The Fashion of Black.

Behold black now as the fashionable
color of the interior decorator Inc
liking for 1t arose in Vienna. where
interior decorating is an art much
thought Of There some of the new
houses. or rooms which had been re-
decorated, showed wall papers with
black backgrounds. on when huse'
bright flowers are printed. carpets,
too. are of black. The idea OF this
method of decorating is. apparently
to make the room strictly back
ground for the furniture and persons
in it. The brightly lowered paper
of course, detracts from this enect,
but the sort of paper more orten useo
does not have the bright flowers. IL
shows a black ground. with gray
or misty white figure
In a room thus grounded pictures
framed in black are hung The Ell
feet is startling. The pictures STAND
out in reality from their somber sur
roundings. White enamefed furniturs
Is looked on with favor for use In
HACK rooms. Surely such a setting
would give the persons in 1t chance
to shine forth in all the glory oil
color lent them by skin and eyes. hair
and clothes On the other hand
wouldn't room so furnished cast a
depressing spell on the woman who
found herself shut within its four
walls for many hours in day.
There is an outgrowth OF thisseraze
for black which is interesting, es-
pecially to those who live in apart
ments. or other crowded quarters
where the kitchen as well as other
rdbms Of the house. come under oc-
casional inspection Of guests. This is
the black enameled jar or box for
cakes. bread. and grocery supplies
OF various sorts. 1t is painted brill
liantly with big red roses, and makes
an interesting note Of color. Six
boxes or jars of this sort ranged In
orderly array on shelves give as
,;nc.ive note to the most uninterest-
ing pantry or kitchen.

Table Ware.

Among the customs of our grandmoth-
ers was that of giving personal care to
the fragile cups, saucers and other pieces
of fine china and glass. and it was prob
ably this appreciative attention which
made the china last so long. A little
tub or sometimes silver basin filled
with hot soapsuds was brought to the
householder on a tray, directly after
each meal. She would then gather up
the silver. glass and egg shell cups,
and wash. dry and put them away.
The idea is again becoming popular,
and no housekeeping outfit is complete
without its small cedar tub, mop, tray
and soft linen towels.

and even in this workaday era when men and women are toiling like beav- CTS to accumulate competency while the industrial and business affairs of the country are at high tide, all can take time to read every detail con- nected with this romance.
 The marriage of President Wilson and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait is in every way an ideal match. Both are descendants of proud old Southern families that have been identified with the really big things of that section of the country since Colonial times. Both are talented and cultivated and none who knows Mrs. Gait can ques- tion for a second her fitness for the high position in society and official circles that her marriage to the Presi- dent will elevate her. As the First Lady in the Land Mrs. Gait will make a charming and beautiful hostess at all White House functions and the nation, generally, rejoices with the President at his good fortune and happiness.
 While Mrs. Galt Is comparatively new to the "Officia1 Set" in Washing ton, nevertheless her residence of so many years at the Capital has enabled her to move in a circle there that has always held itself aloof from the con- stantly shifting coteries that come and go with each administration. That old set is by far the most exclusive in Washington and is more closely akin to a similarly reserved and exclusive coterie which centers about George town and has always been separate and apart from Washington's official dom.

 Sixteen months ago Europe was plunged into the most far-reaching and bloodiest war the world ever saw. From the outset it did not seem pos sible that this nation could escape be- coming involved in the general con- fiict. Trap after trap was set and made ready to spring whereby the United States could not escape enter ing the hostilities without bringing dishonor and ignominy upon her peo- pie. At times the situation was so tense that there did not seem to be one chance in a million of this country escaping a declaration of war, or sudden break in diplomatic relations with one or more of the belligerents, to say the least
 Communications that passed between this country and Germany will go down in history as masterpieces of diplomatic diction and these were penned by the President. After an exchange of several such documents Germany descended from the high handed course she had assumed and each and every point at issue-and insisted upon in no uncertain terms by the President-was conceded and the United States today is no nearer the threshold of war than she was when the conflagration started.
