Ornaments that Beautify.
Mistakes are constantly being made
naments that do not really beautify.
1t requires knowledge to understand
why certain spaces should be filled
and others left empty, and this
knowledge comes either from a
strong natural gift or from long edu-
above all. be willing to discard what
we have ceased to like. In the realm
OF decoration this does not represent
eXtravagance, since we can go with
out ornaments rather than have what
does not represent us, or what we
I believe to be in bad taste. Empty
airiness is better than space filled
with tawdry bric-a- brac.
After careful consideration accord
ing as our taste prompts and our
| pocketbook permits, we should invest
in ornaments whose color and form
are not already cluttered with trifies.
, For instance. very inexpensive piece
of pottery may do wonders in deco
rating if 1t is of IL desirable color to
blend with some tone In the room
and it will be Il constant source of
delight.
Too many people feel that once they
have comfortably furnished their
homes then the next step is to go
forth in search of decorations for
them. Ornaments for home should
never be bought in this way. Instead.
they should represent the tastes OF
the inmates Each article should be
bought because it is especially de-
sired or particularly adapted for a
certain spot in room.
Treatment Of Small Room.
BY a judicious wedding out of un-
essential furniture. pictures and or
naments. 1t is often possible to give
the impression of ample space in a
room. Tall. narrow pictures will give
height to the walls y long, narrow
mirror. a standing lamp. Il tall chest
or clock will help to produce the same
effect of height when the ceiling of a
room is rather low. The carpet used
in a small room should be quite plain
even the border should be without
a pattern. If the carpet is rich in
"o'oring and the walls and calling are
light in tone. a delightful glow will
be cast upward and make even IL
northerly room appear cheerful.
Why be bothered by a door which
Is never closed. but stands awkwardly
turned back against the wall? 1t is
a simple matter to unhnge it COM
pletely and stand II in the basement,
attic or some other place that is out
Of the way. A portiere will prove
a much more attractive substitute
when absolute privacy is not required.
An open door often obstructs a valua- :

for some piece of furniture. and all
of US have found that wall spaces are
not too numerous in small rooms. A

SEWING CLASSES.

ITHERE are more than 100 girls in
i the Mckinley Manuel Training
school who are now hard At work with
their sewing. Every girl in the
school has to do this work some time
before she is graduated from the in
stitution and the term lasts nine
weeks in each Of the four years of
the course.
Very few people realize how much
practical work Is accomplished in
these classes. Not all of the work
ia theoretical. but the theoretical and
practical are very cleverly combined.
Tailored suits and wooden dresses are
made by the girls OF the higher
classes. Silk dresses are also among
the most popular and difficult gar
ments made by these girls. The
younger girls make cotton dresses
and study different kinds of en-
broidery work. Many of the girls
have made original designs for their
embroidery which are exceedingly
delicate and have proved quite lovely
when worked up.
In with the practical sewing and
embroidery work, the girls also re-
ceive lessons In textiles and the
manufacture Of these goods. Com
mercial patterns are used for all
sewing. The clras also are taught

Whereas most girls formerly re-

now employing their gifts of mind
and beauty to make themselves a
part Of the active world Of business,
politics, art and music. They are less
hampered by old-time conventional
ideas and are more free to express
themselves and their individualities.
While some, in their newly found

ANIMAL PARADE.

THE Wilson Normal School looked
l. Just like the most attractive pic
lures of fashionable boarding
school for girls yesterday at lunch
time when the seniors of the school
gave their animal parade" This
was really a noteworthy event and
made great hit with the younger
students and faculty, who crowded
the stairways and sat along the walls
to view the parade. These animals
were cleverly made toys of wood,
painted in the bright colors that chill
dren love and so simply constructed
that the children themselves can be
taught how to make them. There
were elephants, pussy cats playing
with balls, rabbits, clown dolls, owls
and puppy dogs. The procession was
very varied in the kinds of animals
on display. all Of which rolled merrily
by on their little wheeled platforms
The charm OF the procession was
greatly augmented by choice selec-
tions by some of the girls with
ukuleles.
Miss Anne Goding. principal of the
normal school, lent her gracious pres
ence to the parade, while a wise old
owl trailed behind her at the end of
long yellow cord. She was quite
the star of the entire procession and
marched to the accompaniment of
rattling applause and laughter. The
toys were made by the girls in the
class, under the direct supervision of
Miss Dorothy Kalb.
