D,AnnunEio's Visions.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
see that D'Annunzio has taken to
visions, owing to injury to his eyes.
He speaks of strange, phOsphorescent
visions, myriads of stars flashing
across the darkness. millions of sparks
darting into space. arabesques, hero
glvphics and explosions. But these
phenomena are nothing new. The drug
Mescal produces them; so do certain
other drugs, in various stages of ad-
diction to them. Certain types OF in
sanity have similar symptoms. and the
same things are reported as arising
from religious experience. not only
along Christians. but among Hindus
and others. The question arises; do not
these visions perhaps represent
truer perception Of reality than our
normal consciousness? All religion
maintains that this is so. Life is per
haps a dream. from which we shall
awake to hnd a universe of glory.
HENRY c. STUART.

board dress boxes are covered in a
good pattern of cretonne or printed
linen. A wooden rack is then made
after the manner shown in the pic
ture, and painted white. The boxes
can be easily slipped out, similar to
an ordinary drawer in a bureau.
Dress boxes, which have reinforced
wooden strips on the inside, should
be used, as thev are more substantial
than the ordinary cardboard boxes.
They can be purchased in almost any
department store for a few cents.
Illustration No. 6 shows an attrac.
tively draped dressing table which
was made from an ordinary small
sized kitchen table. The cretonae top
cover which is cut at the corners 50
that the end and front sections hang
fat, can be easily removed and
washed. The deep valance which
covers the lower part of the table Is
made of dotted swiss lined with
sateen in a color to harmonize with
the chosen color scheme. I shall take

and may be used appropriately. Rag
rugs come under the heading of plain
rugs and are most effective, partcu-
larly the oval shapes which can now
be had in a variety of sizes and color
combinations.
There is no bedroom floor cover
ing more charming than the plain
carpet which entirely covers the
floor. Some people object to this
idea on the grounds that it is difficult
to keep clean, but in these days or
vacuum cleaners, the objection is not
a serious one.
The modern spirit in furnishing the
bedroom, however, is to avoid. as far
as possible, the set of furniture idea.
If we choose Mahogany II IS wei to
combine with it a painted chair or
two, an odd table or stool. or a will
low chair, to break the monotony OF
too much mahogany. A good exam
pie of such a combination will be
seen in illustration No. l. Here win
be noticed a three-quarter post bed
in mahogany combined with a draped
dressing table, a Windsor chair
painted white, a small mahogany

corner table and white painted stool
placed in front of the dressing table.
The chiffonier or chest of drawers,
in this case, could either be in ma
hogany or enamel. An upholstered
chair would also look we'll covered in
the same cretonne used at the win
dows.
This is a particularly charming
bedroom scheme and is good exam
pie of what l call harmonious fur
nishing. The room has interest.
Even the quaint pictures and their
arrangement express the individuality
of the person who chose the furnish
ings.
Again in illustrations 2 and 8, will
be seen two different schemes where
odd furnishings are used.
In illustration No. 2 the dressing
table and chiffonier are the only
pieces which match each other in de-
sign. The white, square tube iron
beds are particularly harmonious and
the white painted willow chair with
cushions covered in a bright pattern
of cretonne add a distinct note of
interest. Here will be seen the com
bination of the figured wall paper and

ton for a mans room. The bed,
bureau and chiffonier are in dull fn-
ished oak. The woodwork is painted
light putty color and the willow
pieces are in the natural color. The
wall paper is a tan strioe, the curtains
of linen taffeta in shades of tan, vel
low, orange and old blue, and the rug
is tan, a few shades deeper than the
wall.
The choice of bedroom furniture
is so largely one of personal taste
that but little can be said that will
help the prospective purchaser. A
scheme of unusual charm and one
suitable for country house or sum-
mer cottage is shown in illustration
No. 4.
A simple set of inexpensive white
enamel furniture was purchased and
made doubly interesting by the ap-
plication of painted or stenciled deco
ration. Each year the painted and
decorated furniture of this cottage
style becomes more popular and if
people in general knew how effective
this furniture may be made, we
would have more painted furniture in
our bedrooms. The decorations may
be stencilcd or painted on freely by
hand. The ordinary oil colors which
come in small tubes are used. The
work is not difficult and many inter
esting designs may be worked out.
In this room the entire floor is
covered in a soft blue ingram filling.
An attractive stool, which can be
bought for Four Dollars and Fifty
Gents, is covered in a lavender
striped linen. The quaint chair
shown in the corner of the illustra-
ton can be purchased for Two Dol
lars and Half, and when stained OF
painted white, will prove an exceed
ingly attractive and handy bedroom
chair. A bed like the one shown in
white enamel may be purchased in
the three foot three size, or the four
foot six size for Twelve Dollars
The bureau, which measures forty
inches in length and nineteen inches
in depth, is priced at Eighteen Dol
lars.
Probably the greatest mistake the
average person makes in furnishing
the bedroom is the use of too many
odd and insignificant trifes in the
way of pictures. ornaments and un-
necessary objects Of all kinds. which
could easily be dispensed with. I
have seen many bedrooms with the
walls so covered with pictures of all
sizes and descriptions that the gen.
eral effect was merely cheap and
tawdry. Two or three well chosen
pictures are all any bedroom needs
and if placed properly, will add to
the charm of the room. Pictures are
usullly hung too high Five feet
from the floor TO the bottom of the
frame, is good height to hang all
small pictures, also, let me add a
word about frames. Let US try, as
far as possible, to choose simple
frames and not the cheap, fancy va
riety, which are so often used. We
should give Just as much attention
to the proper framing of picture as
to the selection of the picture itself.
In bedrooms, particularly. let US try
to keep all the frames alike, and not
have some in oak, some in mahogany
and others in gold.
Many attractive things can be
made from cretonne to brighten CUP

ured papers for the wall covering. II
a figured paper is our choice, one
should be careful to select a good
pattern which will not become tire
some. The papers which are bold
and striking in color and design
should be avoided as they will be-
come a constant annoyance to the eye
and are never considered in good
taste. An unbreakable rule, which
should be borne in mind in choosing
the figured paper, is the fact that it
demands plain hangings. If the wall
is figured and the curtains as we'll,
the result is confusing and common
place. On the other hand, the deco
rated fabrics will appear charming
against plain background.
There are many striped papers
which are classed under the heading
of plain papers which make excellent
wall covering. They can be had in
many soft colors and, of course, the

A PoIIticnI PrndIctinn-

Editor Of The Washington Herald:
1 am not surprised at your reference
to the obligation which certain Demo-
Gratis might feel with regard to voting
for the Hon. Elihu Root, II he was
the candidate against Wilson in view
Of the eulogium Of the former recently
made by Lansing. as wilson's Secretary
OF State.
The surprising part Of the selection
Of Roots friend Lansing, to be Mr.,
Wilson's chief adviser in the State De-
partment is that the President has
done so with his eyes wide open.
On the 18th Of last February, Mr.
Root made a most savage and caustic
review Of what he termed the Incor--
petenee OF Mr.. Wilson to manage the
foreign policy OF the United States.

1t is often a matter of discussion
as to the proper height to carry the
wall paper. There is no definite rule
to guide us in this point but a few
simple suggestions may help the
reader, If the ceilings are high, it
Is often advisable to drop the picture
molding only. In this case, the upper
third and ceiling should be papered
IN plain white or cream white. Never
choose a paper of different design
for the upper third as the effect will
be confusing and extremely ugly.
Even in high ceilinged rooms It Is IN
perfect good taste to carry the side
wall up the full height.
The use of decorative borders In
bedrooms Is again a personal point.
There Is no particular argument
against them and many Of the sim
pie designs are quite charming in
effect. If the border Is used, the
sidewail should be either a plain
paper or a stripe. In combining the
asr,;er paper with a figured side
wall even though It Is designed to
match, we obtain the effect of too
much decoration In the room. The
border paper also requires plain
hangings,
