Trs.tmsnt of Walls

II a molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do SO much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding is in line with
the top OF the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using paneling
beneath the sill, and to carry the tops
of doors and windows to fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect of good paper
is enhanced A plain paper has the
dignity of a panel when so used.

then perched on a small bush that
was at one side.
"Mr. Plain Sparrow was willing to
make friends with anyone at all. He
was not snobbish or fussy as to just
who were his friends-nO, there was
certainly no nonsense about him.

Ducks. We don't like bread and but

"'Splendid idea,' quacked the
Ducks. And off went Mr.. Plain Spar

he thought there would be some good
worms.
pretty soon he came back with
some fine ones, and he sat on his
porch and ate them, while the Ducks
nibbled at their food, and had drinks
of pond water, which they called tea.
Mr.. Plain Sparrow flew down and took
sips of water by the side of the pond
and in one very shallow place he had
some nice shower baths while the
Ducks were having swims. And be

Miami, Aug. 3.-The avocado

market is being increased each year
