Clever Housekeeper Saves Motiej and Increases Dining Rooms’# Attractiveness. A very clever housekeeper ha* solv ed the problem or economy, at the •ante time increasing the attractive element* of her dining room table. From June 1 to October *he dispenses with tablecloths, thereby cutting down the laundry bills and making the work of laying the diner table a little lees. Moreover, the mahogany table and chatra are put away and in their places are substituted a square table of sott wood and straw chairs, all painted green. It may’ not sound pretty, but the effect 1$ charming The table, which wgs bought for the occasion, wa* treated, not with paint, but with thin water stain and then rubbed with a vary thin oil. Thla causes the grain to show, mak ing the top not a fiat color, but vary ing from a dark to gray green, some times even showing purple lights. The chairs have been done in the same way. In the centre of the table stands s natural color terra cotta urn. tiorne tttne* there is fresh green In thla a? ferns, bay or even box but ilowere are never used. Incidentally one may nay such greens cost nothing .for those living in the country and. out lasting flower* by several weeks, they are Inexpensive in town. Four old silver candlesticks form corners to the decoration scheme, and. placed between each candle, is a stem of green, bay, fern or box, laid flat, this forming a connecting band oi green, a a it were. Occasionally*, not often tiny old glass vases, four alive, and none more than three Inches high, contain two flower* each, and are placed between the candles. The lat ter have fancy shades. Under each plate there Is a royley Kxcept for those there is no linen on the table, and as th* surface Is not a large one. there is no effect of bare ness. All the china used, having been bought for the house, has been chosen with regard to the green and brown color scheme, and include* yel low. green and creaw with gold t>and* None Is expensive, and the difference between this end a winter table In so great as to make It highly desir able for a summer house. liOgic For Young Women. Many girls and young married wo men often are disappointed at th* candid criticism* passed by their male belongings about their clothes. "You never seem to please a man," raid a girl one day “Something always aeems wrong about a gown in his eye." Doubtless she had reason for her complaint in many way*, but the real secret of pleasing th* average man Is to avoid the usual extremes in dreae-—the outrageously flaring hats and the unwalkable skirts, says th« Montreal Star. Women ought to have a set of rule* about the personal not* In their gowns. They should study the colors thst become them, a* It is from the whole that tht result, pleasing or otherwise, ts taken. Man's highest praise is usually •She was awfully well turned out." which means that th# object of their admiration has refrained from ths ultra eccentricities of fashion and was smart from the top of her well coif fured head to her trim footgear, and also that her gloves were neat and -sty+ish Seen In the Shop*.

To thle the walat wae gathered In Inch wide draw string style, a ribbon paasing through (blue), tied at the left edle. At the waist this draw string appeared again. Then two more shirring* were formed father dose together midway between the knees and the hem. All were * threaded with the ribbon.
