Up-to.llalo nursery furnishings and decorations are made In various styles , and always with a vlow to the pleasure or the children. l\tlnlaturd furnlturo In mIssIon and bent.wood Is most attractive. Where the nursery Is just ono largo room , It may be furnished with a dinIng-table , desk , book.shelves , beds ant ! bureau , all of just the rIght heIght.

Rugslcar be hlld with approprlato deslgns.llnd wIndow draporles with pictorIal fig ures.Vnll papers are made with Mother' Geese and Dutch scenes , alII ) the frIezes wIth pIctures of "Llttl Do-Peop , " "Jack anll Jill , " "Dllby lJunt. lng , " etc. , are most fanclnatlng.

The "left.overs" from a turlwy dIn. ner arc worthy of attention. After all the reall ) ' fine slices or the Cowl have been removed , the bits of meat picked from the bones may be used Cor several appetizIng luncheon llishes. One oC the best Is made by heating the pIeces In a cream sauce. or In the gravy , If any has been left. Serve on thin slices or buttered toaet with broiled mushrooms on top. It the mushrooms arc 110t suitable for broiling. break them In plnces , and fry In butter. 'I' lO meat may be encircled - circled with poached eggs If mush. rooms ara lllsllked. Creamed fowl surrounded with rIce , which has been balled In the broth made from the bones , Is also very gooll. Turkey salad Is another way In which toISO up the bIts of cold fowl. For a luncheon llish tomato rabbIt will bo found appet1zlng. Cut four whole cannetl tomatoes In slices , lay. Ing them on slices of toasted whole- , wheat brcad ; then sprInkle with salt pepper , dry mustard , nnd a few drops \Vorcestershlro sauce , coverIng thlcIly with grated American cheese. Arranse the toast In a shallow baking- pan and place In a hot oven long enough to melt the cheese. Serve ImmedIately - medIately with a poached egg on top of ench slice , nnd sarnlsh with crIsp cress. It Is almost Impossible to serve a' second Jlortlon of Welah rabbIt on nc. count of Its becoming tough liS sOlm as It cools.
