The salaries committee of Stockport, England, has sdvanced the salary of the municipal draftsman ll.to a year about 4 eenta a week.- .' By Beatrice Carey, MpfHE dinlrig-room is always an In- I . terestlng room to furnish, and " I even If the amount to be expend, : ed Is not large very charming results are possible. If originality and taste are combined in selecting the vari ous fittings, -r '".. ,..',; For a town house the darker woods. such us mahogany, black oak, eta.,' are to be 'preferred, although they are rather expenatva, but for a house in the su burbs' or one built In cottage style, more latitude le permissible. A well-built, shapely designed side- board, a round or square dining table, a serving table and from elghj to a doaen chairs are usually required, and In choosing these pieces be sure that they are not too ornate in design the hand. aomest sets shown In solid mahogany being built on rather severe I1ne the colonial models being especially recom mended. . , One yi sense waa bigger than her purse, recent' ly furnished a most delightful room at a surprisingly small cost, the affect of the coloring and furnishing used being very new aa well as most attractive. After ahopplng the town-for day Ing to find a well-designed, properly made set of dlnlng-room furniture with In the poesibilltles of a limited ex chequer, this young woman gave up in despair, aa the only pieces which were inexpensive were all In light, yellow oak, ornamented with - carved scrolls ' and quite Impossible In design. She then de cided to have a set made after her .own patterns, modeling after a lovely colo nial set she had looked at with longing eyes In' an antique shop. ' - A 'German cabinetmaker was found who made a. specialty of such orders and who waa reasonable in price, and a sideboard, table and eight chairs and an oblong nerving table were made In white, well seasoned birch, which waa ' afterward stained a soft, rather dark ash-green, the grain of the wood showing under the staln. , . The room was not especially light, so the wall wss covered with one of . the new Isndscape papers above a wainscot SOME HOME-MADE PRESENTS FOR THE BABY :: ;,' By Beatrice Carey.. '.."' ' IT has become a well-established cus . torn to give some pretty little arti cle to the new baby, and although very attractive gifts appropriate to such an occasion can be found In the shops or 'In the Jewelry stores, often a dainty bit of handwork In the form of a set 'of cap string a bib,' a hand-em- eldered yeke, a eap, a paraeol cover for the baby carriage or' an afghan or shawl ia even more appreciated. ; . Few of these artlclea cost much for materials, although the handwork makes them quite expensive if bought ready made; ao If one has the leisure time It la a most satisfactory plan to. makje these little gifts.' as the work la i not difficult and the . gift ' made especially for the recipient Is always sure to be valued. The Illustrations show several very attractive articles that could easily be copied the first sketch at the top of the eut taken from a little Jacket which was cut In one piece, the edgea being scalloped In embroidery silk. The little Jacket used aa a model was of white French flannel, buttonholed In pale blue and embroidered In flower spraya In pale blue silk, the ribbon used for tying the little, sleevea together and at the neck being of pale blue wash .ribbon to match. . The little bibs iketeTied are all of fin white batiste or French muslin or lawn, embroidered la fine wait eotlon. One i 1 1 LJtJT- rax vooi rv n nil 1 IcrV Jol i : .... of the bibs shown was finished about Ve edge with a very narrow fagotted band, another one being scalloped and buttonholed. ' All of these bibs are made double, narrow Valenciennes lace being used as a finish about the edge. Many of these bibs are made with a little pad of the lawn filled with a aheet of ab sorbent cotton and quilted with fine running - stitches by hand, these pad being attached between the upper and under part of the bib. , - ... 1 The littlerlng-eovered-wlth ribbon and with small bells attached with a small doll aewed to It, I a pretty play thing, which' can easily be made; and the little shoe are made of fine white worsted, with pale, blue or pink turn over tops, and tassels. A pair of cap string I another little gift that will be sure to prove useful. Make them of fine lawn or batiste or mull about four Inches wide, hemstitch ing or embroidering the ends, the aides being neatly hemmed. Small pillows covered with slips of pale blue, pink or white China silk gad with a fine cover of handkerchief linen Lor sheer batiste, embroidered or dec rated with drawn work or hemstitching, are also most acceptable, ' the heart shaped ' pillow edged with ruffles of lace belngeapeclally pretty.' One lovely little pillow seen was In thla shape, the pillow being of softest down and cov ered with pale blue silk, . Over thla was a cover embroidered in tiny pale blue forget-me-not sprays In color, the ruffle about the, edge being of hemstitched lawn edged with narrow cluny-iaoe. painted cream-white, all the woodwork of the room being,-of course, cream while; also, the door handle, hinges, etc, being brass. ., - - -, " - The wallpaper showed a shadowy out line of trees In soft, bluish greens and grays n the foreground, with a shadowy old German castle In the distance, against a sky of a rather warm, yellow ish tone, as If the setting sun had Just disappeared back of the hllla. . The win dows were hung with creamy ecru fish net curtains, against the pane, with linen damask ourtalns Of soft green fall ing straight and with a narrow valance across the top outside. , The floor was stained . and polished, over It being a rug in green, gray, pur ple and, a touch of gold.. A china closet waa built acroao one corner of the room. being made to match the woodwork In cream white, and there were no pictures, although a few plates, and atelna and a wide low window across one aid of the ' room waa hang with . yellow silk cur tains, with Inner sash ourtalns ef cream colored net. edged with Hontton braid. . With mahogany furniture, a plain, red wall covering ahould never be used, aa It detracts from the rich coloring of the furniture, the soft Warm greens, being generally a most successful choice; yel low tone and aome of the blue papers also being excellent. A soft warn ton paper. Imitating burlap la also sure to give good result and make an excel lent background for pictures, and pleoes ' of braaa and pottery. v A hanging light, with a large shade ef glass In artlstle coloring, bung over the dining table adds much to the beauty of , the room, and candlestick with red or yellow shade are also very effective among' the minor furnishings. The Illustration ahowa a built-in china closet and sideboard, which may offer a , , . ITt Iv'' II "i 1 -I" ' .,"v. brass platter or two were placed at the top of the walnscoating along the ledge. Above the white mantle was a larce oval mirror In a gold frame, and on each side of the mirror ' were brass sconcea holding candles. - In the window at the end of the room a green wicker atand. holding a large brans Jardiniere - filled with ferns waa placed, and around the window a bench or window seat ' had been built. This seat was cushioned-In the green - linen damask, used for the Inner ourtalns, and there were numerous pillows covered In green, yellow and old rose silks or linens In striped qr flow ered patterns.

This room being mora for mal la style, the furniture being-ma hogany a.na tne woodwork stained dark to match. The floor was of hard wood. the rug being In tone of bine. greenJ yellow, and mahogany. The- wallpaper carried out ths; peacock" colorings, and waa w blue na green, and the very suggestion to 1 he , prospective house builder, as it greatly simplifies the ques tion of extra furnishings. . The room from which the sketch waa taken waa walnscoated ln white en ameled wood, the doors, sills, etc., being of mahogany- - . ,1 The sideboard waa built in, at shown, between the two china closets, the top, or shelf, of the sideboard being of ma hogany also.
