To Brighten Dark Room,

For the gloomy or small dark room:
it is best to use fabrics which have
a highly lustrous finish. Richly-col-
ored damask fits nicely into such
room. Artificial silk is suitable for
draperies when a Chinese rug is used.
Taffeta is another suggestion.

BULL FIGHTS

On many n peaceful Sunday aft

state, the sun shone brightly down
upon Californians excitedly watch
ing a bull fight instead of quietly
taking their siestas. Some were
Mexican and others We're pure Span
ish, but all loved the national pas
time Of Spain. Sometimes the
fighter was victorious. and again,
the bull would injure or kill his op-
ponent. A fight between a grizzly
bear and a bull was also very popu-
lar, and in this case it was never
ended until one Of the animals was
killed. This type of amusement was
finally abolished by the legislature
of 1854 when It passed an " Act to
prevent noisy and barbarous amuse-
ments ON the Sabbath.
