on Thursday afternoon at the home
of the chairman, Mrs. George Hall,
and two fine talks were given by
members.
Mrs. H. R. Benda talked on interior
decoration, treating first of floors,
then walls and draperies, giving ex-
tracts from professional articles on
the subject. With walls, wood work
and doors all one color room ap-
pears much larger. A lamp, chair
and table in a group produce an eff
feet much more cosy and comforta-
BILE than when separate, and changing
the cretonne furnishings and drape-
ries for summer and winter produce
restful effect.
Hints on treating difficult windows
and on artistic effects with pictures
and draperies were given.
Mrs. Robert Burns then gave talk
on the arrangement of flowers, tell,
ing of tasteful arrangement in which
we can take instruction from the JAP
anese, and also telling of the proper
kind of receptacles for flowers, the
most effective being the inexpensive
glass fish bowls, in which both stems
and leaves help to produce an artistic
effect and among the "dont's" were
don't mix flowers, don't make con
fusion of colors, don't arrange in
solid masses, don't tie with ribbons

Saving Wild Life.

Lovers of woodland life will be
heartened to learn that efforts for the
conservation of the bison, or buffalo,
as we more commonly say in America,
have succeeded to the extent that
there are 5000 more of the animals
now than two decades ago. The fact
Is Of chief significance as showing
way of preventing the extinction of
valuable or interesting species of wild
life. IL the states with the co-opera-
tion of their citizens, will do half as
much for the preservation of birds and
game as the national government has
done for the bison during these last
20 years, a stupid and shameful chap
ter of our history will be rewritten In
happier terms.-Atlanta Journal
