Thk annual review of the Omaha llee U,

A rnOMi.NK.vr politician is quoted by the
Omaha lite as wiyii g: "The work of taking

hoied to have it done by the middle of Au

saying that Governor Thayer will call a se

to have this work all doao by thu middle of

There nre ninny ladies who hIwiijh
wear crepe Hkho niching, others who
llnd that plain linen is more liecoming,
and others again who prefer rlbUm, with
u feather edge in white or color, and who
wear nothing else. It is ipiite iuIiiiIhnI
ble to distune with any kind of neck
wear with high necked outdoor wear,
but all ladies would gain by having a
narrow lino of while between the seveio
outing of her ilrot,s mid her neck. Tho
plain still collars aro for outdoor wear,
but in the house tho hico trimmings and
fancy btyles aro far preferable and more
drossy and becoming.
Tho jaUits of silk mull in cream or
white, with or without riblnm Ihjwh, nre
always pretty and can lie worn with any
homo toilet. Tliosu who have pretty
necks can make them without a band,
the frill falling on the shoulder from the
base of the neck.
A very pretty fancy is to make a plain
collar by turning the points, and where
tho collar meets in front have a short
plaited fall of tho same lace. CulTs to
match can bo made. Another can have
'i ribbon band over which is fulled e
piece of lace, and in fiom it is made into

A reception room may bo tho ono room in
thu housu w hleh Is always in order for re
ceiving calls. The parlor has its outgrowth
from the social life of the time, and its uso in
tho larger entertainments which go there
with. A reception room rnny bo small; a
parlor Is essentially a largo room.
A dining room should lie a long room, say
not less than 17 feet, and from 12 to lax feet
In width in moderate cost houses. Such a
shajH) conforms to that of tho table.
A grate lire Is out of place in a dining
room. It Is always too warm on some one'
back. If a grato bo placed in tho middlo of
tho wall space, it limits tho availability of
the room to the extent of its projection from
the wall.
rollings aro lower than in times past be
cause of tho rational spirit In modern build
ing which bus such high regard for utility.
A high story ls expenslvo to build, furnUh
and decorate, to say nothing of the worming
of tho house hi winter. Stories from niuo to
Jteu feet In height are as common us those of
eleven niul twelve of a fow years ago.
Thero Is no i ccsou why tho second st v
flic uld bo lower than tho first story. If a y
difference, it should le higher. Thobedroo s
are occupied constantly for a longer jien.sl
than tho other rooms of tho house, anil usu
ally are not provided with tho means of
natural ventilation which belong to tho rooms
of tho lower floor.
The kfuiiu jMuitry Is tho proper place in
which to place the refrigerator. It shou.J
have u zinc drain to carry thu drip water to
thu outside of the buUdlug, not to tho sewer
or drain, us Is sometimes done. Such a ecu
