Tapestry for Furniture Covering.
One thing to he noted thruout the
retail stores is the gradual headway
that has heen made for the last few
years In the use of tapestry instead
of leather for furniture covering
Much of~the finest furniture now
adays-furniturc which n few years
ago would have surely been leather
covered-has q tapestry covering
The reason for this change lies
largely in the fact that for n num-
Der of years there has been an in
creasing demand for leather for a
hundred and one different purposes.
AS a-result. prices have gone up and
skins have been split, so that unless
high prices are paid 1t is impossible
to get satisfactory leather covered
furniture.
The tapestry coverings, however,
are not only very beautiful and far
more varied, of course, than the
leather, but also have the advantage
OF being obtainable in colorings suit

The Latest End.
One OF the newest notes in home
decorations Is the use of individual
motif Cor wall decoration. curtains
ana other drapcrles. These can be
obtained already applied to curtains
or curtain nets or brought separately
and applied by the home maker.
The American manufacturers have
made wonderful progress with tho
dye situation ana the retailers are
now showing "A considerable quantity

The drapery departments are show
Ing the Same wealth OF wonderful
patterns In cretonnes which have
been noted for the past three or four
years. There Is II growing recogni-
tion of the fact, however, that when
used as an overdrapery. cretonne
must be lined to properly bring out
the effect of the pattern and to elm
mate that unpleasant "fabr!cy" look
noticeable when printed material IL
hung in strong light.
Like Linolcum.
The women Of this country are
gradually viewing lnoleum more as
II is viewed by the women abroad,
that Is, as an excellent floor covering,
not merely for the kitchen. but for
many other rooms of the home -
bedroom, bathroom. nursery. etc
what has brought about this
change is, first, the fact that lnole-
um is sanitary floor covering, aud
second, the general improvements
which have been made in the pat
terms in which clis material is made
up.
Not only can linoleum be quickly
washed up, but 1t actually has a
Eermicldal action, derived from the
linsood oil used as n base for It's
manufacture. For this reason linole-
um is particularly a desirable floor
covering Tor the nursery and bed

than linoleum is desired there are
some good floor coverings being made

does not sound very durable. but as

Decided Novelties In Rugs. Carpets
and Draperies Are Being Shown in
the Stores.

tlft GtOItN.
During the last few years there
has been growing interest In artis-
tic nome decoration. Today IL Is pos
sible TO get many odd and beautiful
fabrics and "a wealth of ideas for dec
Grating the home artistically and yet
at reasonable cost
Since II Is the usual thing TO begin
all thot OF decoration with the floor
covering, let us see what the stores
can offer In this respect. And to do
this we have got to take into con
sideratlon the war-everythlng seems
to have been affected to a greater or
lesser extent In this direction.
Some Real Novelties.
What has the war done for floor
coverings Your answer Will be. Of
course, raised the price. True, it
has. But It has done something mors
than that, something much more I'M
portant II has given us wealth
OF really new and beautiful designs
in rugs and carpets Why Is this so +?
The reason is not hard to find
Before the war rugs and carpets
were very much standardized, both
as to price and quality. as well as
design. Then along came the in
creased prices. Olh standards were
knocked out.
Yet people had been In the habit
OF paying certain price for n GER
tain grade OF rug. To interest them
In taking goods at- the new prices
manufacturers began to develop some
new and splendid ideas I'm floor COW
ering patterns. Today II Is possible
to obtain at comparatively low prices
American made rugs In beautiful de-
signs and colorings, formerly OBJ
tanned only In the most expensive ori-
entail rugs.
what n Rug should Bc.
Indeed this progress In designing
has even gone further than this.
After all. the principal use of floor
covering Is to form a BACKGROUND.
The delicate traceries In the patterns
OF many oriental rugs really do not
serve this purpose as well as would
bolder and more unconventional
treatmcnt--a treatment more closely
resembling tho floor covering of ma
turc, which is IA bright colorcd flow
erlng on n more or less neutral back
ground. These new patterns make
the rug departments OF the various
stores far more attractive than ever.
Give Thot 10 Your Windows.
After we have selected our rug the
next thing to be considered is the
window curtains. The windows OF
the room indeed might be considered
It's most important feature They are
important because, while the floor
covering is seen only by the visitors
who actually come into the house,
the manner In which the windows are
trimmed is seen not only by such
people but by everyone who passes
up and down the street. For our
windows we must have veil OF
some character material which will
break the glare OF the sunlight, give
privacy to the house and yet not OBJ
scIIre the view OF the great outdoors
The curtain departments of the re
tail stores are today showing as great
an advance in the character of the
pattern of curtains or curtain ma
tcrials they are displaying MS are the

A Regular Kaiser,

tine kaiser is a queer customer"
said Jacob Schiff. New York banker
and philanthropist. during n Cooper
union debate. "The more the German
people ask of him the less he gives
them"
The way the kaiser has treated
the German people about this busi-
ness of universal suffrage reminds me
OF the Blue mill.
"The hands of the Blue mill, you
know, waited on the owner and told
him they wanted shorter hours.
Every good" said the owner. "Your
wish shall be granted. Well begin
with shorter dinner hours"

THE REMARKABLE VISION
or COUNT LEO ToLSToY.

In the autumn of 1910. a few
weeks before the .oyelist's death,
the Gear OF Russia, who did not
care TO recognize Leo Tolstoy di-
rectly, sent for his grand-niece, a
countess who is a favorite of the
czarina, and asked her to pro-
cure for him from the great nov
elist "a message to royalty
something not published and
something which he never would
publish" to be transmitted TO the
king OF England and the Emperor
OF Germany, who had jointly made
the strange request. According
to the Boston Transcript, the
countess went to the novelist on
her mission and told her grand
uncle Of the czar's demand. When
he seemed at a loss for a subject
she asked: Don't you have any
visions of a political nature, or
prophecies on a large interna.
tional scale?". and it gave him an
idea.
The countess's account of the
remarkable prophecy follows:
