Furnishing Small Rooms.

In furnishing a small room two nee
essary points must be considered:
First, that space is gained by making
things as fiat as possible against the
wall; and, second, that stiffness is
prevented then by introducing a plant
or two, if the room Is living room
or a dining room, and breaking the
lines of the furniture by pulling out
a table little or turning chair.
A low seat 16 inches in height, run
ming around a corner and along one
side Of the room to some break OF door
or window, saves space and furniture,
and adds charming effect. 1t should
be upholstered, and have only an oc-
casional rather small and carefully
selected pillow. Low book shelves,
too, built against the wall, furnish
without furniture, but care must be
taken that they are not extended in
too continuous a straight line. A car
pet or rug of a solid color also in
creases the effect Of space

TASTE OF "H0ME COOKING"
Woman Who Lives in Apartment Can
Have II II She Will Do Lit
tie Planning.

Many woman living in two-room-
and.bath apartment and taking her
meals in an adjoining public dining
room yearns at times for something
homemade" and delicious; chocolate
layer cake, for instance; or scalloped
oysters, or old-fashioned molasses
cake, or soda biscuit, tender and pip
ing hot, and made rich with a little
shortening. One woman condemned
as she expresses ito live in lux
urious hotel apartment most OF the
year, satisfies her housewifely In
stincts by getting Sunday-night tea In
her own apartment by aid of chafing
dish, coffee percolator and a one
burner gas stove with little oven
about as big as babys hatbox.
1t is surprising how many delectable
things can be baked in this absurd lit
tie oven. Out of 1t come small layer
cakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome
little drop cakes, small pans of piping
hot Sally Lunn and rich gingerbread
for the Sunday night supper The lit
tie oven bakes only small quantity
enough biscuit for four persons, twice
around, and layer cake which makes
six good-sized slices; but the Sunday
night opportunities to have taste OF
real home cooking are much appreci-
ated by privileged guests who also
dwell in boarding places.
Nc woman with fastidious taste
and thought for her neighbors-would
venture to cook steak or fry potatoes
in an apartment house, where odors or
cooking are not supposed to permeate;
but creamed entrees, salads, baking OF
the sort referred to and various appe-
tizing scalloped entrees may be pre-
pared by aid of chatting dish and lit
tie oven of the sort. The small ovens
may be used on electric grills also,
and rare is the woman who does not
enjoy an occasional cooking fest to
keep her hand in at housekeeping

Mr.. AND MRS. WILLIAM PARKER
OF HACHlTA, N. NJ, ARE THE
LATEST VICTIMS.
CAVALRY Is IN PURSUIT
After looting the Place and Herdinq
Horses and Cattle, Bandits GaIoped
Away Shouting "ViVa Mexico"
Viva la Patria."

Hachita, n. M.-American cavalry
and citizen posses are riding hard
across the desert prairie south of here
in pursuit of the Mexican raiders VINO
murdered William Parker and his wife
and drove away their cattle. Orders
have been issued to capture or kill the
Mexicans. The pursuing forces are
now near the international boundary
and have orders to cross if neces-
sary.
The latest report of the whereabouts
OF the raiders placed them so miles
south of the ranch, driving 25 Of
Parker's stock ahead of them. L is
believed the cavalry detachment from
Culberson's will be the first to strike,
as they are far in advance of the otner
forces.
The first report of the raid and the
murdeNe attack on Parker and his
was received at Columbus. A breath
less, hatless rider dashed into the
military camp there. He was an en-
ploye of the Parker ranch.
Disconnectedly he told of shots in
the night which awakened him.
Mounted and armed Mexicans were
shooting into the windows and through
the doors of the place. Parker was
killed in his own bedroom and then
Mrs. Parker was shot and instantly
killed.
The firing continued for some time
The few employees OF the ranch en-
deavored to get their arms and defend
the house, but the Mexicans, after
looting the place and herding the
horses and cattle in the corral 10,
gether, galloped away shouting, viva
Mexico" Viva La Patria."
Parker and his wife, who had been
married little over three months,
had been afraid of an attack on their
ranch and had written of their fears
to Hachita. Troops had ridden out
from the Hachita camp several days
ago, Parker's man said but had not
discovered the bandits. Patrols were
threading the country, out it was so
vast and scantily populated that 1t
was practically impossible to find a
small band which knew the district
and how to hide in it,

CARE IN TABLE DECORATION
PeopIe as a Rule Don't Like to Play
Peek-a-Boo at Dinner, Says
Miss Holman.

A few flowers are in good taste and
add charm to the dining table but the
whole greenhouse or garden should
not be used. They shouldn't fairly
scream out for attention, asserts Miss
Araminta Holman, instructor in home
art.
Decorations should always add
beauty to the article which they deco
rate" says Miss Holman. "The flow
ers that are dainty, delicate and spar
ingly used are attractive on the table
in the dining room. A small fern is
appropriate. The flowers are Of less
Importance than the food, the dishes
and the silver. One or two flowers are
usually enough, properly arranged.
Their tops should not be higher
than the tallest dish on the table.
Persons seated for the dinner should
not have to play peek-a-boo around a
tall vase of flowers"
