to Be Sanitary---Should Be Beauti-
full as Any Other Part of House

With tho possible exception OF the en-
trance hall, the bedchamber has under
gone a more decided evolution than any
other room in the house. This fact Is
traceable chiefly to the development Of
the science of hygiene. In olden times
when people were wont to regard fresh
air as a medium for the contraction Of
deadly fevers tho bedchamber was a
grand but etuffy affair, heavily hung
with draperies and as nearly hermeu-
cally sealed as construction facilities
would permit. In the moro pretentious
houses It was a chambre de parade
where every one was received and much
business transacted
l.. such cases the actual sleeping was
done in a communicating, closetlike
room 80 that no drafts from badly
hung doors or poorly constructed win
dows could reach tho sleeper. In the
main room however. there was an i'm

tapestries which offered splendid oppor-
tunittes for the collection Of flying dust

Of the relationship between fresh air and

underwent a series of radical changes
Within comparatively recent years the
reaction against the old alright Sleep
ing chamber has reached an extreme ex-
elnplified In the hospital-Ike bedrooms

homes. Happily that phase in the evo-
luton of the room has also passed and
a compromise has been effected. 50 that
to-day the laws OF health and of beauty

the ideal living room No compromise

effects achieved without them are in
themselves sufficient proof that pictures
cannot only be dispensed with in a well
appointed bedroom but that in many
cases they are better left out Of the
decorative scheme entirely. This Of
course Is not a hard and fast rule. and
there are instances where defects In
wall structure can only be overcome by
the proper hanging of pictures. but the
advice of most experts Is that they shall
be used sparingly and judciously. Small
prints, photographs and such things look
spotty on the walls and must be grouped
to give the proper effect. Framed photo
graphs especially should not be hung
on the walls. but should be grouped on

WHO NAMED POINT D'ARCOLE7
Only Legend Relied On to Account
for AppeIlation Given Famous
Bridge in Paris.

Though 1t is getting on for nearly
a hundred years since the old Point
de la Greve in Paris has been known
as the Pont d'Arcole, nobody yet has
been able to give chapter and verse
for the change. Now that the ami
versary Of the three days Of July, 1880,
the 9th, 2Sth, and Goth, which Paris
dubbed Les Trois Glorieuses, has
ceased to be kept, 1t is likely that this
age Of local history will remain OBJ
scure. In the old days the Pont de
Ia Greve was merely a footway for
passengers In the troublous year when
Paris rose, the Tuileries palace was
sacked and the king fed to England,
a young hothead leading a column Of
insurgents charged across the bridge
with flag In his hand shouting
"Follow me and IL I fall know that
my name is Arcole"-or Darcole. So
runs the legend. The famous incident
at the Pont d'Arcole when Bonaparte,
flag In his hand. heading his grena-
6ers, beat the Austrians, must have
been some reason for giving the
bridge the name Of Pont d'Arcole
few days later. There is no record
Of who gave the order for the change.

al method Is to feed the table scraps at
noon or at night, or at both times, as
