PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE PLASTER
REPRODUCING PIASTERED

The walls of the room are of great
decorative Importance. They should be
so treated that they are in accord with
the scheme of the room, and they
should not be out of keeping with the
period type of house architecture. This
latter point is not always given Suffi-
cient attention.
For example, If dwelling is in mis-
sion style plaster walls with a rough
finish are true to type. If in Italian
style the plaster is correct but the fin
ish may be smooth or slightly rough.
Ultra-modern houses, and especially
apartment houses, frequently adopt the
style of rough plastered walls for halls,
and modified or modernized plaster
finish Is also sometimes used for main
rooms. The walls are given the tones
of age by paint in tints, or by some
one of several different wall finishes
applied with brushes or with spray.
Two styles of decorative furnishings
suit rooms with such walls. One is
antique in rare, old-world richness, and
the other is ultra-modern, the oldest
wall finishes having been chosen to
set of the weird yet archaic lines of
ultra-moderniStic furniture.
Another style of furnishing is emf
nently suited to go in plastered rooms,
namely, mission and the outgrowth of
that type craftsman furniture, but these
are not stressed, as they are not vogue
today.
Houses that have any tendency to-
ward Queen Anne architecture or rooms
that are in Victorian decoration or in
which Victorian furnishings predomi-
nate should have papered walls.

farm houses Of the better Colonial sort
should also have papered walls. At the
period when these houses we're built,
or which they represent, however re-
Gently they may have been erected, wall
paper was a choice article imported
from China, from France and from
England
The earliest wall paper came in small
sections, not rolls. These sections fitted
together to complete wall paper murals.
These wall papers were entirely hand
made and are today priced as art
treasures. Copies Of some are available,
and these are among the exquisite wall
coverings of paper for fine rooms and
halls to this day.
For the usual run of houses of this
architectural period, wall papers Of
many sorts are in keeping. The one
kind to avoid is the ultra-modern. A
wide variety Of wall papers, known as
Colonial wall papers, is to be had at
prices beginning very moderately, and
remembered that plain wall papers,
that Is, those in fiat colors, were not
used.
The majority of rooms in this era
have their walls papered, although paint
for this purpose has earned a place of
greater prominence within the past
few years than 1t had previously. 1t
is important for the home decorator to
appreciate that each has its correct use,
but that walls must be studied in con-

Woeful Waste.

Waste of any kind is wrong. Whether
is be waste of time or money or goods, it
is wanton selfshnesS. 1t leads to moth
ing but trouble.
Take the matter of pads and note
books. The usual child buys a note
book and a couple of pads at the be-
ginning of the term. They ought to last
for months, but do they? You will find
the first few pages In the notebook used
the rest soiled and crumpled. All that
is left of the pads is the pasteboard
backs, we'll scrubbed and scratched.
Ma, need 10 cents for a notebook"
Whats that? Why gave you money
for that last month"
Yes, but it's all worn out" And he
gets 10 cents for another that goes the
way of the first The waste carts are

the trees.
Have you noticed the bread that Is in
every garbage can along the street? 1t
is scattered along the streets. through
the vacant lots. Bread enough to feed
the Nation for a day is wasted daily, If
the ash cans of the city live in are
any standard of measurement.
1.-THE children won't eat stale bread"
Then why buy so much that 1t grows
stale? And why not toast 1t, make
bread pudding, or crumbs for other .pur-
poses? Something is wrong somewhere.
Every loaf of bread means labor. Every
loaf in the waste cart means waste Of
labor. There is no sin quite so stupid
as the sin of wasting labor.
Nowadays the girls all wear silk stock
ings. Silk stockings have a habit Of
running-all by themselves. The sew
ing teacher suggested that once week
the stockings should be brought to the
sewing room and mended.
I'VE don't mend them. 1t takes too
much time. They don't cost much. Why
worry?"
IF the young woman's time is too
valuable to spend In darning torn stock
ings then some one else whose time is
not so valuable might do 1t. Instead of
that the stockings are thrown out by

Sublime Hours i'm American History
The Real George Washington Seen in the Hour of Death
BY j. p. GLASS.
BY j. p. GLASS.

Perhaps one visualizes the real George
Washington most clearly in the hours
preceding his death. At no time was
the grandeur of his simplicity more
evident. Highly ceremonious on all i'm
portant occasions, he did not allow his
dissolution to become ceremony, but
made of 1t mere incident among all
the incidents, big and little, of his
career. He set perfect example of
how to meet death. 1t was sublime
His throat was sore on the morning
of December IS, 1899, as result of
riding over his Mount Vernon estate in
snow and rain the day before. That
night breathing was hard, but he re-
fused Mrs. Washington's aid, lest she
should take cold. On the morning of
the 14th he could scarcely talk, but he
managed to ask for DR.. Craik of Alex
andria, meantime summoning Rawlins,
an overseer, to bleed him.
The operation dismayed Rawlins.
Don't be afraid" said Washington,
adding, when the incision had been
made. The orifice is not large enough"
Mrs. Washington objected, but he MUIR
INJURED, More, more" Her doubts pre-
vailed, and he yielded when only a
half-pint of blood had been taken.
DR.. Craik arrived between and 9
o'clock. He called in Drs. Dick and
Brown. But the general grew worse,
and at 4:30 in the afternoon he in

tary, Mr.. Lear. he said with difficulty,

A woman operated a large boarding
house. The structure itself was once
an imposing home. 1t was a frame
building of three stories. with a Vic
torian cupola on top. The place was

Among the employees was a young Ital-
ian dishwasher. He had just arrived
in this country and was unable 70

Today in
Washington History

April 81, 1S62.--An arrangement has
been made, 1t was announced today. be-
tween the Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad
Co. and the Corporation Of the City of
Washington, represented by Mayor
Wallach and a committee of the Coun-
Gil boards, under which the railroad
transfers to the city all its rights under
existing laws to construct horse rail-
roads through Pennsylvania avenue and
other city streets for the privilege to be
accorded by the city to the railroad
company of making a rail connection
by steam with the Potomac River and
another with Georgetown through some
street other than Pennsylvania avenue.
AS the law is interpreted by the city
authorities the railroad company, upon
receiving the sanction of the city gov
eminent, may construct and work such
extensions of the Washington Branch
Railroad, while by acquiring from the
railroad the right to construct horse
railroads through the streets the cor
poration may secure for the sole benefit
of the city the valuable privilege of
building and working horse railroads in
the Federal metropolis.
This right the city will doubtless sell
to the highest bidder for large bonus,
which will be appropriated for the So
much-needed sewerage, public schools
and other city improvements.
This arrangement simply carries out
the ideas of the right of the. railroad
company and the city corporation to
secure for the city the valuable rights
and franchises connected with street
railroads. for which different parties of
individuals are now contending before
Congress. This matter was originally
brought to the attention of the City
Council boards by Mayor Wallach.

The two or three inches that sports
skirts have gained this season In length
does not bring them much below the
bend OF the knee, and they are in
variably made with sufficient fullness
round the hem TO make them entirely
wearable and practical. Pleated skirts
are still worn for sports, but fullness in
troduced by way of circular cut is
newer than pleated fuliness.
BY no mean. has the question of
skirt lengths been settled even for the
present. There are fashionable women
OF real influence here and abroad who
are holding out stoutly against the
really long skirt and more than one of
the well known French dressmakers is
lending his or her influence to this
reactionary group.

The intruder was sublimely uncon-

went about his job in a deliberate fash

shouted and scared the robber, but he
elected, instead, to end the burglars
career. STOPPING behind the bannister
