We may expect Ii the craze for Vic
tnrian modes extends from our
clothes to our homes at the rate II
ii speeding.
At the moment Of going to press
we have with us in the midst OF our
smartest homes today all the where
withal to deck that atrocity OF old
fashioned taste, the whatnot. 80 why
not go the limit and drag 1t down
from the garnet, dust off Its shelves
and set 1t up in the chosen corner.
Truly the porcelain dog and the
china cat, the glass flowers and the
framed sampler can never feel at
home outside a whatnot environ

Indeed It Is only fitting that We
should have a proper setting for our
hoonskirts and scoilops. our fichues
and bell sleeves, our shoulder capes
and poke bonncts; hence undoubted-
IL the revival OF the Sinking por-
cclain poodle door-stops, the green
and yellow china parrots swaying
In gilded hoops, the worsted cm-
hroidered firescreens and footrests
that now infeat the truly modern
and artistic hearth and homo.
The crocheted and braided rag
rugs are on all our smartest floors,
lying In wait for the voluminous
silken skirts OF the good old days
to trail over Them. But alas! no
silken skirts can touch them now in
these days OF highwater ballet eff
fects.
Daguerreotypes of grandpa as q
soldier and grandma as bride

honors with an urn-shaped potpour-
ri jar of purple glass.
Our smartest billetdoux are PEN

glass jars half filed with cleaning

On rush bottom chairs we rest

for which the session of congress as
sembling must appropriate funds, total
81 ,26S, 715, 1874.

to be appropriated for the postal serv-
ice, which is expected to be returned

The total appropriations for the fis-
cal year 1917 ending next June, exclu-
sive of these two items, were S1,1S4,-

The greatest Increases are in the
estimates for carrying out the nation

departments appropriations for the
current year were $3S1,4S2,S 500, it esti-
mates this year for s421 ,352,447.
