other favorite Is of gun metal and gold plate.
White metal la also very much In evidence.
The jeweled chatelaine Is quite a new de

stone" , these very soon , develop Into luxuries
beyond the purse of the average wontn.
Such cxcelcnt Imitations can bo had , how
ever , that almost anybody can Indulge for a
moderate price. If so Inclined. It Is usually
bolter to have all the attachments match In
color , If possible. Hut. If this Is not feasi
ble. It la quite en regie to mix ; the oxldl/ed

There Is no article of furniture , except It

equally In place In the living room of a

all ages helping In the wear and tear , or In

they accord with the color scheme that goes

low , with Us suggestion of sunshine , and
mignonette green , with Its moss-like effect ,
never Icso their popularity , because they
furnish so many different shades , and there
Is something In the pile of corduroy that
shows up these colors very satisfactorily.
Deep red Is aim now shown In this ma
terial and I a rich shade for lounge or
chairs In rooms where cherry or red ma
hogany predominates. The width Is twen
ty-seven Inches and the price varies from
7,1 cents to $1.23 a yard. The best quality ,
however. Is advised where the wear Is con
stant.
A silk and wool tapestry of forty Inches
wide at | t to $1.23 a yard shares this iea -
son the popularity with corduroy and comes
NEW ORNAMENTAL IJII.U'KIUKS ,
In rlrh and delicate colors of every shade.
The designs arc conventional figures , such
as arc often seen In rugs or In bold flower
pitterrs like cretonne The ample width
and soft , filky sheen of this material IP very
tempting ami will give excellent satisfac
tion In a room that Is not subject to con
stant use. Cheap velours should suicly he
avoided ; their sheen will disappear n' once ,
and their losso warp stretch Into holes at
the le st me. If out' Is prepared to piy
$1 or Jfi a v.ird for this latter material and
It la bought of a reliable firm then and then
only Is It safe to purchase.
Wool or wool mixture tapestry was..never
before shown In such beautiful designs and
attlstlc colors , and although narrow ( twenty-
seven Inches ) , makes ii cheap covering for
nursery or family sitting room , aa It comes
as low In price as 23 cents per yard , and ,
while not as strong as corduroy , has good
wearing qualities.
\Ve are told that the "high light" so much
admired by artists Is shortly to glorify even
the drawing room , as witness the universal
u.o of the sash curtain. When the shade la
drawn to the top of the window nnd the
lower yart Is droned , as Is done these days ,
we have this light to perfection. Now that
wo are growing to appreciate this and to revel
In It wo are told that some day women will
bo willing to give up window drapery as
surely as they have banished hangings from
the beds. That day has not dawned yet , but
there are hints of Its approach In the fact
that plush , lep and all heavy hangings , when
not eaten by moths , have been put to other
uses , and the shops are full of such dainty
draycry that Is not even scorned for studio
windows. For gold and white drawing rooms
Inexpensive pole of wood , decorated In
white and gold , still holds Its own. Japanese
stores show a silky material In yellow and
white , or In rich but delicate oriental colorIng -
Ing that varies In price to suit all purses.
These stuffs are cut In lengths to suit the
windows , and are draped as funcy dictates.
High drapery Is In favor Just now , adapted ,
however , to fall iowcr. It desired. Some of
the finest weaves of silk , or silk and wool
tapestry , mentioned above , will suit some
windows admirably.
Kor very cold weather when wintry blasts
are to bo shut out , heavy tapestry , velours
and fancy materials are shown ; the weave
must bo close to keep out drafts , and many
housewives do not hang these until Thanks
giving or even Christmas time. These should
alwnjs be arranged to drno back readily In
the day time and ni-ed not In any way Inter
fere with the high draper } ' , w'hlch should al
ways be chosen for Us color effect , and must
be In unison with the tone of tlie room.
Kuskln's pointed windows nre slid to becoming
coming In. and they admit of very little
llrapiry ; still the women who love these
and the cozy effect they give can always
arrange on any window enough hangings to
do away with all appearance of bareness , and
she surely will.

.Suiiio Tlim-l.v A111uinn Hints for tlie
lloilxi-UrrpiT.
There arc many things nowadays to TH.s-
tract the mistress of a house , bo she over so
Intensely Interested In her work , nut now
that the bright autumn days are actually
here it Is doubly necessary that the homo
be bright , neat and comfortable , and the In
viting appearance of a home , be it a tiny
flat or wide house , is caused more by the
shine of furniture and other belongings' than
liulolcnre is willing to admit. Hooker
Washington , that wl e philosopher of the
colored people , declares that directly a
housewife of his race begins to take pride
in shining tins hung upon her kitchen walls ,
she has made a tremendous step tdward a
home that her husband and herself are
willing to bend every energy In acquiring
and keeping. So Important has he found the
nfluence of this homely bit of cheer , that
Instead of tending out preachers of the doc
trine of comfortable homes the applied
science of the shining art is taught by a
capable woman , who goes from hoiue to
iionse working hand to hand with the occu
pant of the kitchen to actually scour and
snine up Just the homely everyday utenrfls
We need this homely brightness every
whit as much In our moro pretenlous lesl-
dences , and It Is a grave mlst.iko to substi
tute wrought Iron ornaments In our rooms
for brass , merely because the latter , while
wearing well and not high in ! price , 13 dim-
cult to elean. Sliver and steel , too , lend
their cheer In a family room , but there Is a
glow and color In bright brass that makes It
almost indispensable.
The housewife need not , In order to keep
a shining face on her home , deny herself
the spin on the bicycle , the hand at golf
and all the other possibilities that have been
opened up of late. Let her gather the hid
den away or dull brass ornaments together
and fifteen minutes will transform goodly
array of them to pristine brilliancy. Only
keep this llttlo secret In mind , discovered
by a lover of cheery rooms , who Is also a
lover of fresh air and country Jaunts. While
trying her hand at this work the reader Is
advised to notice the effect of any brass or
naments on bits of furniture. No wonder our
great grandmothers loved these shining
knobs and handles ; they twinkle out a wel
come at early candle light , or In the glow of
the setting sun , that Is wanting In some of
our modern furniture , be the wood ever so
costly.
Oxalic acid has been In use for years In
our kltchono to brighten the boiler , but has
not yet found its way Into the drawing or
sitting rooms. It In sometimes perhaps used
too carelessly , as It Is a deadly poison , and
the mother is hereby warned to keep It on
a high shelf when not In use and to have It
used only under her eye. Make a strong
solution of this acid with warm water , direc
tions come with the usual package sold at )
the druggists , bathe the brass articles well
ono at a time , rubbing with a soft cloth.
Dry thoroughly and polish with a dry cloth
or cliamota skin. The writer has used this
on wrought brass of Intricate pattern , us
ually very dlfllcult to clean , and found It
quirk ai'd nnlnjurlous. It IB a llttlo trying
to the hands and It Is well to have n care
to keep them out of the solution as much as
po'-filbie. If the solution Is hot the work
will he quicker , as the articles dry speedily
and polish moro readily than when cold.
Wo all Know that this acid was never yet
known to harm the copper of the boiler , and
therefore need not fear It for our handsom
est bric-a-brac. This Is not advanced as a
new cleaner for metal , only that It Is very
expeditious and dons not soil the hands or
requlro the hard labor of other equally good
polishes In other respects.
1'olishlng Is excellent arm exercise to offset -
sot the pedal oxorcloo of the bicycle. Try
It and the worm flaah of brilliant brass will
bo the sure lewaul.
