BEDROOM NEWNESS.
What Is Picturesque In Autumn In
terior Decorations.
There are many people to whom the
picturesque does not appeal in furnish
ing, and to such a one a house is not
satisfactory unless it is fitted up in ab
solutely conventional style. Yet, even
so, the color schemes should be con
sidered most carefully, for the conven
tional tends toward the commonplace,
and the most exquisite combination of
colors and the most careful arrange
ment of furniture are all that will save
it from becoming uninteresting, says
Kate Green leaf Locke.. I have recently
seen a bedroom furnished in this style
that is so ravishing that no one but a
rabid Socialist could find fault with it.
The walls are covered with a paper
that is delicate pearl gray in color,
with very narrow stripes of two tones.
This is given an added charm by be
ing put on in panels surrounded by a
border of gray and White. The wood
work is white enamel and the ceiling
washed with pearl gray.
The two large casement windows are
hung with pink taffeta silk in a soft
shade of old rose, and between the taf-

feta and fine white lace curtains are
hung filmy ones of pale pink gauze.
'She low dressing table, with its triple
mirror and its plate glass top. the twin
beds and candlestick, the chiffonier
nnd tall shaving bureau are gray enam
eled wood. This enamel is several
shades darker than the walls, and the
beds have the fine cane work inset
that is so much used now with wooden
furniture and which gives such distinc
tion to it. There is also in the room a
chaise lounge covered with rose flow
ered chintz on a pale gray ground. .
The tones of this beautiful material
bring together in perfect harmony the
curtains and the walls; an easy chair
is covered with the chintz, also a stool
for Tthe dressing table. This flowered
stuff, with its cushions and valances,
lifts the room from stiff conventional
ity into a comfort and beauty which
would otherwise be lacking. The illus
tration shows a corner in a charming
living room. The Chippendale chair
and original sketch of Charles Dickens
are prized possessions of the owner
that lift the room of which they are a
part far from the conventional.
WHEN YOU BUILD.
The Hardware In Your New Home
Should Be Good.
Though your contract for a home
usually includes a clause which gives
the builder eutire leeway in the mat
ter of hardware it is well to know
something about this yourself as it is
with" everything else. Too many peo
ple are content to leave the details of
door knobs and window trimmings to
the contractor, little realizing how im
portant it Is' to have them right right,
that is, from the standpoint both of
utility and decoration.
"House owners should demand re
liable information on this point from
their dealers when they come to com
pare the difference in cost of two or
more lines of hardware," warns writ
er in the House Beautiful. "Fieces of
hardware may be very different in
quality, though looking the same. For
instance, one .might examine three
lines of hardware, all of similar pat
tern and appearing Identical in finish,
yet one line is bronze plated on steel,
another thin solid bronze and the third
thick solid bronze. Not knowing con
ditions, the puzzled amateur wonders
why prices on the three lines vary so
much, but the reason is, 'of course,
variation in quality of the finish."
For outside doors it is always best to
use solid brass or bronze butts (hinges),
though steel butts plated with brass or
bronze (to match the lock trim) are
usually considered good enough for in
side doors, which do not come in con
tact with rain or snow. All outside
lock trim should be of solid metal; for
plated goods will not stand the weath
er since steel, no matter how carefully
it is plated, soon rusts. Front door
locks should be of the highest grade
only, as no other part of the bouse hard
ware gets so much hard usage.
Frosting Metals.
The sandblast, working on the same
principle as the big outfits used to
clean the stone fronts of begrimed
city buildings, is now being applied to
jewelry.. By means of it delicate frost
ed appearances can be .given to gold
and silver, "satin finish" for silver be
ing one of the results. Powdered
pumice is used in place of sand, and
the blast pressure is very small;

NEW YORK AN EXAMPLE.
Lack of System and Slipshod Methods
Cause Great Waste Highway Com
mission Now Making Study of Prac
tical Construction.
New York state is -spending an aver
age of $50,000 a day in the construc
tion of better roads. At two referen
dums the people , of the state have
voted to expend $100,000,000 in the
building of highways. Prior to the
time John N. Carlisle, commissioner
of highways, took hold of the affairs
much money was wasted on account of
slipshod methods and lack of system.
Part of the road fund will be spent
in each county. When the commis
sioner was asked -recently when new
contracts for highway improvement
would be let he replied:
"New York state should have the
best highways in the world. No one
familiar with the conditions believes
it has been getting them. At two
referendums the people have voted to
expend $100,000,000 in the construction
of good roads, and they have a right to
insist that the highways be improved.
But until I am satisfied that roads will
be built which will- give the people a
dollar in value for every dollar invest
ed In them I am not going to approve
of further construction.
"No man not familiar with the con
ditions can understand how disorgan
ized this department was when I be
came commissioner. Although it was
and is now spending on an average
$50,000 a day, there was no system In
its office work, and mail was received
at the postoffice in five private letter
boxes. No one thing surprised me
more than the fact that this depart
ment, charged with the expenditure of
f 100.000,000 in construction of new
highways, had no facilities for making
i scientific study of road construction.
"It is not necessary to tell the people
that with this lack of system and with
this slipshod Method of doing business,
money has been wasted. There is evi
dence of it in every county where high
ways have been constructed. Not even
the engineers believe that some of the
roads, if built according to contract
would stand the traffic, but it was ex
pected that the contracts would be
modified by supplemental agreements,
and in nearly every instance this was
clone."
U. S. AIDS IN ROADMAKING.
Improvement Marked and Many States
Now In Line.
Improvement of the public roads of
the United States is to be greater this
year than ever, according to the re
ports received from all parts of the
country by ex-Secretary Wilson of the
United States department of agricul
ture. A joint committee of congress is
engaged in an investigation of the
feasibility of federal aid in the con
struction, improvement and mainte
nance of public highways, and a num
ber of the state legislatures have con
sidered good road legislation. In con
nection with (he general impetus that
he good road movement has recently
had in all parts of the country, the
Jirector of the office of public roads
says:
"Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the importance of maintenance in
connection with the work of improving
the roads. The people in nearly all the
states are filled with enthusiasm for
road improvement and are spending
enormous sums-of money in the con
struction of sunerb roads. ,
"To maintain the roads in good con-
lition' year afler year requires a con
siderable annual outlay, but this, out
lay is indefinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the people even
tually if they allow their roads to go
to utter min. The thing for all advo
cates of good roads to do is to urge
continuous, systematic maintenance
ind setting aside every year of an
amount per mile estimated by the en
gineer in charge to be sufficient for
:ue maintenance of the road a course
tvhich must make for economy and
stridency."

Roads Belong to Public.
In theory the roads are "public;" in
fact the ro'ids are the property -of the
private citizen: in theory the roads ore
controlled by highway officials; in fad
the roads are controlled by any Tian
who in most localities uses them for
his own individual purpose and In any
way acd at anj time of the year.
Historic St. Sepulcher's.
SL Sepulcher's, the city church at
the end of Holborn viaduct, whose
churchyard is open to the public, dates,
as the name implies, from the time of
the first crusade. Of the present edi
fice, which had suffered sadly from
"restorers," only the fine" tower, one of
London's landmarks, retains medieval
masonry. From the top of this tower
"rich Dodington." the brother-in-law
of Walsingham, threw himself to
avoid a chancery lawsuit. "If 1 do
break my neck," said Bacon to Queen
Elizabeth. "1 shall do it in a manner
as Mr. Dodington did it, who walked
'in the battlements of the church
many days and luok a survey wber
he should fall." London Chronicle.
FALL FANCIES.
Styles In Tailor Mades That Will Be

- Fail suit coats will vary considerably
in length. The p.';:in models will be
shorter than the dressy ones, for the
latter reach to the knees in the back.
The broken waist line which was uni
versal in the spring is being retained
in fall models, many of which repeat
the cutaway effects' with which we
are familiar. Vith these will be worn
fancy waistcoats in a contrasting ma
ferial. It must be remembered that
these decisions in regard to length are
the ones reached by American makers,

coats especially for- semidress occa
sions, although they now feature those
of three-quarter length.
There is some prospect that the
three tiered skirt which has been so
successful in silk and in cotton ma
terials may be repeated in modified
form in woolen fabrics. If that hap
pens it is inevitable that a special
short coat, or coatee, will be devised
to accompany these skirts.
On the subject of sleeves, too, there
may be a' diversity of opinion between
the French and the American makers.
The latter have committed themselves
to the kimono type in waists, while
our advices from Paris say that over,
there the fullness under the arms is
disappearing. The designers of this
country seem to be of the same opin
ion when it comes to coats, as they
recommend long, close fitting sleeves
without any fullness in the armhole.
The suit pictured is one of the new
things Paris has sent over for autumn.
The skirt is a slightly draped affair in
a striped black and white cloth and
the jacket, a cutaway model, is in
black broadcloth-
UNTIDY CUFFS.
Hint For Home Sewers Concerning
Ready Made Blouse.
If you buy a ready made blouse of
any kind you "will probably find that
the cuffs have no fastenings. They are
generally made large enough to slip
over the hands and so large that they
bag about on the wrists and look very
loose and untidy.
A thing of this kind is bound to spoil
the appearance of any blouse, so you
must alter it. of course. But there's no
need to split the cuff and make the
usual kind of fastening. You can get
the same tidy look without wasting all
that time and trouble.
Sew on two or three little buttons
down the outside of the cuff, and then
work loops to match them a couple of
inches fnrther along, more or less, ac
cording to the size of your wrist. The
loops should be mad of silk or cotton
worked with buttonhole stitch.
When the blouse has been put on
you just fasten the loops over the but
tons, and then the cuff is drawn up so
that it tits your arm quite closely. A
fastening of this kind is very nont and
quite easy to manage.
Remember that yon must leave more
spaee between the buttons and loops
at the"" wrist than between the buttons
and loops higher up. for the wrist part
will need to be tightened a little more
than the rest of the cuff.
Baked Hominy. '
This is an excellent change from or
dinary ways of preparing hominy.
Have ready three-quarters of a cupful
of hominy, a pint of water, a table
spoonful of salt, a Eiberal tablespoonful
of butter and half a pint of rich milk.
Boil the hominy in the water for twen
ty or twenty-five minutes, or until soft.
Remove it from the fire and add the
butter, salt and milk. Turn the mix
ture into an earthen baking dish and
bake until thick and creamy. In sum
mer it will make a delicious breakfast
dish if it is served cold. It may be
cooked the day before. As it is a
rather "heavy" dish, some meat sand
wiches only and a cup of coffee will
make a hearty breakfast when served
with it.
Peach Cottage Pudding.
Cream half a -cupful of nutter with a
cupful of sugar, add one cupful of
milk, twjt eggs well beaten and two
cupfuls of flour sifted with two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder and a
pinch of salt. Add a cupful or more
of canned peaches sliced thin, turn
into a buttered mold and bake for
half an hour in a moderate oven. Serve
hot with hard sivaee.
His Income.
There was a certain well known sing,
er in London many years ago who in
the pride of his heart greatly exagger
ated to the tax collector his own as
sessment. "The fact is," he afterward
confessed to the commissioners. "1
have not 1.000 pence of certain In- I
come." "But are you not stage man
ager to the opera house?" "Yes, but
there is no salary attached to it." "But
you teach?" "Yes. but 1 have no pu
pils.". "Then you are a concert singer?"
"True, but I have no engagements."
"At all events you have a very good
salary at Drnry Lane?" "A very good
one, but then it's never paid." . Under
these circumstances the tax was re
mitted. '

What Pepys Saw In Church..
Once Pepys goes to Hackney church,
"chiefly," he says, "to see the young
ladies of the school, whereof there is
great store and very pretty." And on
another Sunday. "After dinner I did
by water alone to Westminster to the
parish church and there did entertain
myself with the perspective glass up
and down the church, by which I had
great pleasure of seeing and gazing at
a great many very tine women; and
what with that and sleeping. I passed
away the time till the sermon was
done." And again on n Sunday after
noon to the same church, "thinkimt to
see Betty Michel I and stay an hour in
the crowd, thinking by the end of a
nose that 1 saw that it tiad been her,
but at last the head was turned to
ward me and it was her mother,
which vexed me." George Hodges in
the Atlantic.
Damaraland.
Mistakes such as that which makes
Uganda of Buganda are frequent when
the white man bases bis geographical
nomenclature on his understanding of
the native. Sometimes they are amus
ing when one gets the explanation.
For Instance. Damaraland should real
ly be Damaqualand. just as Namaqua-'
land and Griqualand. for "qua" is the
masculine plural, meaning "men."
"Ra" is the feminine dual The ex
plorer, with a sweep of his band, ques
tioned his native guides as to the name
of the country. But they thought he
was pointing to two Duma women In
the distauce and answered. "Daraara."
So this portion of German Africa bears
a name which signifies "land of two
Dama women." London Chronicle.
Told, of a Tailor.
A Viennese tailor was so fascinated
by his" own figure in a suit ordered by
a court functionary that he could not
make; up his mind to part with the
garment. He passed hours daily be
fore the mirror admiring the elegant
fit until his mind gave way to lunacy.
He finally had to be consigned to an
asylum, whither he was enticed, says
a correspondent, on pretext of his be
ing invited to attend a levee in his
court dress. Pall Mall Gazette.

that fashion has prescribed some delightfully-
simple dresses for early

bodices, tunics, frills, saches and even
garlands of tiny flowers.
Silver ribbon, pearl beads, rhineston
and jet will be among the trimmings
of the more elaborate costumes for
evening occasions as winter advances.
Draped skirts and tunics are devised
