?)1 efforts at entertaining In Washington,
however, charming hospitality has tnne and
again been shown in small hoases, the good
tiste of the hostess making the form of enter
tainment con' rm to her sttrronndings. Those
people who do not invite friends at all because
they cannot vie with the lortnante owners of
large establishments really deprive theroseIres
of much genuine pleasure. Here, at least. a
dsUghrtil Independence prevails in the man
ner of living, and there is a unique cnarra
about many of the sm.dl homes here.
Tint r.rrsT aoow.
A visit to W.isliinjbn is a pleasure to be 4(v
?'red by all the dwellers in other towns of this
*>* country and most people living here have
friends ia plenty who long for a sojourn at the
capital. The guest room therefore is as mneh
a matter of conrse in 1 house as th? dining
room, and if there is scrHcleut room more ihan
one is provide.!.
In one small home which can only boast of
one apartment for the exclusive use of
and that somewhat contracted as to size, yellow
is the color choeen for the decoration! The
room is square. or nearlv so. and two corner*
?re taken . tf. giving little triangular closet*,
which are more roomy than one would give
them credit for at ftr-t glance. .Between these
closets the bed sets and opposite 'ire two win?
dows. between which is the dressing table. A
modern mantel above the fireplace is in the
center of one side of the room and a door into
the lutllway w nearly opposite ou the fourth
?Ida.
OFNEkAT, f>ECORATtO!f.
So mnch for the room itself. The lionse is a
rented one, and when it Was first taken by the
present ocenpanu the floor w is stained "dark
brown. A good paper of a yellowish tone w.is
a.reitdv on the walls, and a pretty brown frieze
canteen iiu*h?*H deep na^addpil, to itn improve
ment. An art square, with brown and yellow
predominating, nearly covers the floor, and in
front of dresser. a;:sh?tand end fireplace are
small ru;? of plain ingrain carpeting of a
ta .rny yellow. i'he rugs were first him nnd

heavy double fringe three inches wide, For
inexpensive rngs. where it is desired to em
phasize a color. these are very good and can be
made in various size*.
so rer nraxTTtraz.
The furniture is not at all "set," but consists
of a brass bedstead, oak chiffonier and wash
?tand and dressing tible draped with white.
Tb? chairs :\re limited in i:uni!>cr by the size of
the room, and two are of oak and one a low
wicker.
The chiffonier and waahstand were made to
oruer. the chiffonier just fitting into ore of the
recesses by the chimney. It is a handsome
piece of furniture, quite large and roomv,
with brass handles an 1 the antique finish to the
wood, of ? yellow brown, however, instead of
the somewhat grayer tone often seen. The
withstand is of generous proportions and
really imparls an air of largi ness to the littie
room tLut cramped toilet aivonimotlation*
could never do. A brass roil is fitted to the
back\>f this and from it is hung, with bn-ss
rings, a curtain of creaiu white lattwte with
large disks of yellow {minted en it, the ci.-c'es
outlined ia brown floss. A toilet set with deco
ration of yellow chrysanthemums and brown
green leaves ia effective, and the scarf under it
is of fine white huckaback simply feather

The pillows have linen case-, prettir tr- inied

BOI?V, INMBU:, SUIT AMI KHOO.
What Became of the Ancient Kgyptiau lu
the After World.
IfAJ WAS REGARDED BI THE ANCIENT '
Egyptians n.s consisting of four distinct '
entities. First was the body. Sccond was the
'?Double"?an ethereal dupiicato of the body, j
Third was the soul, which had the form i>r a 1
bird. Fourth was a spark of the divine tire !
: called "Khoo."
Noue of these elements was imperishable. I
I.ert to themselves, they v.oul l hasten to iliaso- |
Intion and the man would thus be annihilated, j
I I'Ut means were found for preventing this. The >
deeomposition of the body could be suspended
for age* by embalming, while the prayers and
offerings of surviving relatives could save the
double, the soul and the khoo. After death the
double stayed always with the mttminv in the
tomb, never leaving it: but the soul and the
khoo went forth to join the gods.
RECEPTION ROOM FOR THE DOUBLE.
No living person entered the chamber wherein
the mummy lay. but the tomb had also a recep
tion room for the double, to which people came
with offerings. Originally it was the custom to
leave rood regularly for the double, inasmuch !
us it Was supposed to have need of such ph\ si- i
cal subsistence. Unfortunately, though" a 1
double might thus be kept supplied for a while
In the course or generations interest by the
| living in the gentleman whose corporal activi- ,
ties he represented naturally waned, and he :
Was apt to suffer from hunger. Even when a !
rich man left money in trust to provide for tlio
: expense of feeding him after his demise the
! hour was only put off for a while longer when
: the double was forced by necessity to sc. U pro
j vender among the town refuse. So at length,
correspondingly to a change in religious doc

double to eat. instead of being actually placed

a manner as possible. The likeness or the da- I
ceased was also depicted in the act of consum
ing the edibles, and the understanding was that '
this sort of fierennial lianneei.lu feasting was
entirely satisfactory to him.
Now. the main object for preserving the bod-.- !
by embalm.ig w.u that the double might have 1
It to liyj in: but obviously the mumtnv might
be destroyjd, ani so provision was made I
again*r. hucIi a misfortune bv constructing Hfat- ;
nc-* in the likeness of the departed. In cine of i
tho destruetioa of the mummv. the double wax
able to find a dwelling pU^? in one of his!
statue), and it was thought worth while bv the
rich to have aa many statues made of them- I
selvea as possible so that, whatever happened, i
they would always have one to go to. It is i
almost impossible to lind an ancient statue in
the Egypt of today that ij not broken, because
the fellahs believe that spirits dwell in them
and that thev can be prevented from doing
anj harm by a little judicious mutilation.
A IKS it, TIME FOB THE SOUL.
While the double of the ancient Egyptian wag '
thus compelled to lead an existence at once i
monotonous and precarious the soul was hav- !
ir.g the liveliest of time*. Though, as a matter
?I dw?y. perhaps, it often visited the mummv I
which it had once tenanted, a door being painted 1
for the purpose of its ingress and exit on the |
wall of the tomb, its ilavs and nights were ?
chiefly spent in the company of the gods ou
their endkss journey as escort for the sun ?
During the daytime the soul was in no serious
dangei, but in the evening, wh n the eternal
waters which flow along the vaulted heat ens
fall In vast ?nscmles adown the west nnd are en
gulfed in the bowels of the earth, the soul fol- !
lowed the bark of the suu and its attendant
divinities into a lower world bristling with am- i
buscades and perils. For twelve hours the I
divine squadron defiled through long and
dretiry corridors, where uumerous genii, some 1
hostile and some friendly, now struggled to bar !
the wav and now tried to m ike it clear. At !
intervals great doors, each guarded bv an enor- I
mous serpent, were encountered. Finallv thev i
reached an enormous hall, full of tlnme ain't !
tire, ami peopled by hideous monsters and ex
ecutioners. whose otiice was to torture the
damned. Then came more dark and narrow
passages, further blind gropings in tho gloom,
again strife with maletolent geuii and at
length the joyful return to the tipper air with
the daybreak. One would thiuk that this
would have been found rather monotonous
after a while as a method or spending one's
lilghts, but there was plenty i>r uuctle r sort of :
excitement during the day. It should be men
tioned incidentally thiit the tombs of the kings
Were constructed on the model of the world of ,
night, with passogea, doors and vaulted hulls
wmch plunged into the depths of the mouutain. i
WEIOBED IX THE BALANCE.

There arc rooms at the Capitol which are
prettier than the one occupied by the House
liintriet committee. There are rooms which
present a larger display of e.i*y chairs mid
sofa* and gilt decorations, but it is safe to :<ay
that there is no room in all that big building

at once, without waiting time admiring tho
the rather faded lire screen before tho grcte or

with such musical >'ui!l.
WHAT IT LOOKS I.IKE.
As has been intimated.tho District -ommUtee
meeting plnco i? not especially beautiful. It is
comfortably furnished and on average occa
sions is large enough. There are times when
the space is scarcely adequate for tho accom
modation of the eloquence of some especially
enthusiastic boomer of n street railway, but
this happens only occasionally. In the center
a long table takes up considerable space.
Around the table aru ranged tifteeli chairs,
one at the head, which is the throne from
which the nl>le chairman of the committee,
(?en. Grout, <ii jk us;-* wisdom. unl the others

ri.nxTY or < Ai.i t:us.
Tliere are lots of committees at the Capitol,
and at times some of them aie pretty busy and
have a good luany caller*. With the District
committee, however, tho callers couio in an
unbroken stream, and the committee room is
anvthing but u lonely place. Sometimes the
visitors come in delegations with wheelbarrows
end men carrting bundles of maps and apt eiti
cntions. Sometimes they couie with sharp j
attorneys, versed in the intricacies of j
getting a bill through. Sometimes they j
are alone and are meek; again tliev j
are alone but fie re. A large num
ber want to see Mr. Grout, tho chairman.
Next to Mr. Grout they pour their woes and [
plans and holies in tl; nearest sympathetic ear,
which usually happens to belong to Mr.
Jeffords. It is either a very stormy bad day or I

the various subcommittees hare also been active j

more constant in their attendance at the com

at the head of the long table, busy wi >h papers
and formidable looking documents. Mr. Hemp

of them decidedly less.
