The heavy silver plate and candlesticks were
put away, and Venetian glass was used in
their stead There was a large dish of Vene-
tian glass in the centre of the dining table
filled with glass fruits, oranges and lemons ana
a big cluster Of purple grapes.
A BEDROOM LIKE A FLOWER
The walls of the bedrooms were panelled and
tinted in cream or oyster white, so the task OF
doing over these rooms was greatly simplifed.
Mrs. Monty's own room had cream-coored
walls and cream-colored painted furniture.
Here we used for curtains and bedspreads and
slip covers plain cream taffeta, edged with
three narrow folds of pale mauYe turquoise
blue and yellow.
We carpeted the floor with the same mauve
carpet that we used in the drawing room. The
window draperies had valance laid in tiny
box pleats and finished with the three folds
Of mauve turquoise and yellow, and close to
the window were sash curtains of fine white
point desprit.
The guest room had oyster white walls and
Colonial furniture, and even Letitia agreed
that nothing seemed 50 appropriate for this as
a glazed chintz. SO we used green and white
stripe which was most satisfactory.
There was a straight valance edged with
green gimp around the top of the four-posted
bed, bedspread and slip covers and straight
hangings at the windows with stiff box
valance. The floor was covered with green
and white rag carpet.
On the day of Mrs. Monty's return Letitia
New-York tribune., 1917-04-29

There was no room in this apartment to
store away the heavy velvet hangngs, so Le-
titia conceived the brilliant idea Of inclosing
them in bags of the striped green and white
linen, and defy any one who was not in the
secret to detect it.
CURTAINS THAT ARE REALLY BAGS
am sure that neither David nor his friends
will suspect that the straight, striped curtains
which hang at his windows and doors are
really huge bags in which the winter dra-
peries hang stepped in camphor. The bags
we're made with a wide French heading at the
top and sewn on the regular curtain rings.
They were, of course, sewn across the top, so
there was no danger of dust collecting on the
velvet inside
The davenport, which in the winter stood in
front of the fireplace, was moved to corner
of the room, where it would get cross draft
from two windows. 1t was covered with the
plain green sateen, piped with the striped linen
and piled with pillows some in the plain sateen
and others of the striped material. A green
and white Palatine rug covered the floor to
within a foot of the Dashboard.
There were white window boxes filled with
plants. The lamps and candlesticks were
green, with touches of white in the turnings
and with plain parchment shades.
And there were tables everywhere. Letitia
saw to that, and she had glass tops put on
those which might be injured by the wet glasses
and lighted cigarettes. Within easy reach of
every chair and beside the sofa stood table

Letitia's merry eyes
took on a merrier twin
kle as she modestly re-
piled:
II had a father, four
brothers, six male
cousins and"-
81 think we need 90
10 further" laughed
drs. Lower Stratum.
Your references are
highly satisfactory. Can
you begin at once?"
81 have been thinking
very hard" said Letitia
the next morning, "and
I have decided that sa-
teen is the only thing for
the feet Of David and
his friends. Plain sa-
teen-plain green sa-
teen, a soft, lightish
green"
So green sateen it was.
Mrs. Lower Stratum had
had the good taste to
cover the walls Of her
entire apartment with a
plain putty-colored pa
per, and this made a very
good background for the
summer furnishings.
We began vita the
drawing room-I should
say Giving room," for
we are no longer in
Park Avenue. We are
on an uptown side
street, just off Riverside
Drive.
We had slip covers
made after the pattern
of Mrs. Montgomery
Sackett's, fitting the fur
niture like a glove and
snapped together with
snap-hcoks, and we piped
them with a striped
green and white linen.

ordered pecks Of flowers, white and purple
lacs and hyacinths and narcssus and branches
of shiny laurel, until the whole house seemed
a-blOom.
We conducted our client from room to room
with fear and trembling, for we did want our
first job to be great success. When we had
finished our tour of inspection Letitia meekly
asked for the verdict
Mrs Monty's answer was as the balm Of
Gilead to our souls:
Cool and charming and extremely smart"
said She
And then we turned our attention to the
needs of the other lady from "loway' (albelt
in a lower stratum Of society,"
She was such nice person, Mrs. Lower
Stratum, with such good ideas and such good
tastel She had two children, which were the
very good reason for her leaving. David"
alone in town for the summer.
A MANS HOME PARADISE
"He must be made comfortable" she said to
Letitia from the depths of wardrobe trunk
which she was packing. 81 want him to feel
that he can ask his men friends to nice. cool,
comfy place, where they needn't be afraid to
put their feet up on the furniture If they wish.

even lighted cigarettes without doing any
harm. Do you think that you understand the

thing more refreshing on
a hot summer day than
the trickle, trickle of
running water?
The walls Of the draw
ing room were panelled
and painted in cream
white, so they were quite
all right for our purpose.
But Letitia stripped
them of every picture,
leaving only two mirrors
in simple gilt frames.
Over the mantel she
hung one Futurist pic
ture in a jade-colored
frame-a cream white
Jar filled with bright
flowers against a back
ground of pale gray
mauve, the real keynote
Of the room.

and in their places were
plain wooden candle

and two alabaster vases

FEDERAL LIQUOR
 LAW CONSTRUED
FEDERAL LIQUOR
Judge Trieber Holds Carrying of Bottle In Pocket Or Suit Case
 Is Permissible.

Little Rock, April 3.--Federal Judge Trieber, in an exhaustive charge delivered to the grand jury today, stated that it is in violation of the federal statutes to ship liq- uors into dry state as baggage un- less labeled, and also instructed the jury that the mailing of any circu- lar or ofter publication into Ar kansas Winch contains liquor adver- tisements clearly in violation of the crimina oe and subjects the sender to i ment in federal couEt. The charge follows:
 Congress in it's wisdom has en- acted a law which makes it an of fense for any person knowingly to ship or cause to be shipped from one state to another any package containing any spurious, vinous, malt, fermented or other intoXi- eating liquors of any kind, unless such package be so labeled on the outside cover as to plainly show the name of the cinsignee, the na- ture of it's contents and the quan- tity contained therein.
 "Tha intention of congress is ap- parent from it's face, as under the constitution shipments between two states are under the control of the congress of the United States, and not of the states proper, and con gress' purpose is to aid those states which have seen proper to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within their borders, or any of the counties or townships of the state, to ascertain by this means any il- legal shipments brought into the state from any other state or terri tory; although it is wholly imma- terial whether the shipment is made into state which prohibits the sale of intoxicants or not.
 COMMON CARRIER DEFINED.
 Under this law it is not neces- sary that the shipment should be made by express, or a common car rier upon bill of lading or receipt. Any trunk, suitcase or other recep- tacle checked as baggage must be marked in the same manner. Ene check given to the traveller is in effect a receipt or bill of lading.
 Aside from this, liquors and other merchandise cannot be check ed as baggage, as baggage means such articles of wearing apparel and other articles necessary and suitable for the use of the traveller while away from his home. Placing small quantity of such intoxicants in trunk intended to be used by the owner while away from home would not be within the meaning of the law, but when the quantity is so large as to show that the liquor is not intended merely for use while away from home, it is a violation of the law. Nor would it be a violation of this law for a person to carry small quantity in his pocket or in his suitcase which he carries with him on the train, for as he does not part the pos session to the common carrier. but retains control, it is not shipment
 "Of course, this exception does not apply to the laws of the state which may prohibit the importa-
