= THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY. ATTRACTIVE HOMES. How to Beautify an Ordinary Little Room. A SYMPHONY IN GREEN. & Dainty Bed Room for an Esthetic Maiden — Making Homely Corners Leek Pretty— About Mantels and’ let ‘Tabies. es Written for Tar EvENINnG Stan. OR some time past there has been a revival of green, both for dress and decoration, a color that had been fairly obsolete for some years previously. It has been a revival of color, but pot of shades, for the old-time apple greens and brilliant yellow green were quite different from the soft reed greens, the sage shades and the favorite olives which now prevail, There is a tone for decoration culled “art green” in English books much affected at present for interiors and furniture. Dining rooms and halls especially are finished in this color, with furniture made for the purpose and stained— or painted, as we say—to correspond. I have lately planned alittle bed room in green, and as I learn suggestions for a room in that color are desired by at least one reader of Tae STAR I will describe what can be accomplished in a very small apartment in the way of treatment in the fashionable color. The room I speak of is not much larger than a hall bed room and d hke one, that is, with one widow ly opposite the hall door. This window aces the south, and the room is a sunny, pleasant one, which bears « rather dark de tion well, it was already vapered be thought of this rejuvenation with # of olive—a quite light tone, with interlacing geometrical figure in mere lines of buff. The quite wide frieze is terra cotta pink with something the same figure as the olive, the ceiling being quite light of a neutral ch acter. The bed has to s is the hall door coming just by the head, and a chimney on the opposite side wail leaves the usual two recesses each side. The wider one is shelved and curtained for a closet, the hall door opening back against it. The curtains are hung from rod just below the ceiling, so with its three shelves above and one six inches from the floor, it is eapable of accommodating quite awardrobe, The curtains are of olive canton flannel, or, to be more pretentious, of “fashion drapery.” or “cotton piush”—the store titles of this fabric. At the foot of the bed another door opens into the next room, but as this was seldom used I decided to close it permanently. and over it hang a portiere in art green canton flannel, also hung from « rod, both this and the closet rod being painted a dark olive. The mantel shelf was of wood, « mere shelf upheld by wooden brackets, and over this I had an. other shelf put, supported by iron brackets, as that was more easily done, and then both were painted olive, the lower one having its dis- erepancy of brackets concealed by a valance, A CONVENIENT TOILET TABLE, Between the window on one side of the room snd door leading into the next room on the other is fitted a table or stand, longer than it is wide, having a lower shelf the size of the top and being of a convenient size for toilet use. This was made by acarpenter of pine when the house was built, and utilizes all the space at that angle, which no ready made piece of furniture could do. It hasbeen draped here- tofore in various ways, but now I have stripped it of all covermg and painted all the wood with the dark green paint. On the window sill just adjoining I had fitted a board coming out wider in the middle of the front to a blunt int and large enough to hold a waste basket, Book and a vase of flowers. This I also painted green, and it is for use instead of a little table, which there is no room for. Beyond the win- dow, in the opposite corner from the table, to be used asa dresser, I had two shelves put triangular in shape, one at the right height for ® wasbstand to hold the bow! and small articles, and below it, just above the base board, an- other just hke the upper one to accommodate the piteber, and painted them both green. I used ag far as possible the former belongings to the room, including a green toilet set of the right coloring as it happened. There was also a mirror, high and narrow, ina nagrow gilt frame which I had put into s pine frame four ands half inches wide and painied green. When thi # bung the opposite way—with the longest way across—above the dressing table it was almost exactly the same proportions of the table top itself. The glass was hung fiat against the wail and low as a swinging glass on the table would be, and on each side of the frame a double brass sconce was screwed. TRANSFORMING THE CHAIRS. In the room was an arm chair, wooden, bat covered with eretonne entirely. This I re- moved and painted the chair green and put loose cushions of olive velours on it instead, to its great impr li cane-seat chair ‘Was treated entire put on this, ns th when paintes ready there was also painted green and green Satin ribbons run in, and a little hassock was fe covered with green velours,with a full plait- A USEFUL CORNER. ing of it falling to the floor. So far I had got nothing new as furnishing, except pine boards and green paint; but, of course, the old-fash- woned high doubie bedstead of black wainut could not be allowed to remain when my fancy Pictured oue in art green instead. So I or- dered one four feet wide, of iron, to be painted kreen and mounted in brass. When it came it was all I had expected in the way of attractive- ness, and the old bureau having been banished some time previously the number of pieces I wished mm the room was complete. The work fromm now on was merely a pleasure until all wasin the perfection of order and freshness. I wanted some material pretty and at the same time inexpensive for BEDSPREAD, VALANCES AND WINDOW DRAPERY. If I bad bad time I think 1 should have ex- Perimented with unbleached eotten, outlining all-over patterns in heavy flax thread in olive green. but being « little hurried I had to seek something ready to use without expending any more band labor upon st than was necessary to make itup. Ifound that silkoline answered ell wy purposes better than auything, and there was quite a choice in designs where green predominated The bedspread I made iike the one I mentioned some time ago, with very wide flounce, reaching nearly to the floor on foot and sides. As a different effect, and because only one could occupy with comfort such « small guest room, I put only one large square pillow ou the bed with a wide—fully six inches—ruffe failing softly all eround. The pillow case was white linen and ‘the ruffle mull, of the texture of the silkoline somewhat I wonldn’t want to see a prettier arrangement than this simple little bed when it was complete in all its freshness, the bed I went to the dressing table, around the Upper shelf of which 1 hung shirred valance of the silkoline. I made an innovation by not putting any cover over the top of the table, but having the painted top show, and under the various toilet articles patting mats of green velour merely lined. I expendeda deal of thought on the useful and ornamental trifles on this table. for I wented if as pretty as my hands could make it. ORNAMENTAL AND USEFUL. I bought all the pretty shapes I could in white china suitable for the uses intended for them, and then painted them to suit the room. As china in all green would be too monotonous I concluded that some pink was needed to set it off, so put tiny pink flowers with a good dea’ of foliage im scattered sprays over each piece. A brush and comb tray, a puff box, candle- sticks, bairpin-tray, small boxes for rosaline and nail powder, with tray to set them on, were all there, and @ brave array they made. There was also # “coffer” in miniature for gloves and one for handerchiets, im art green, with brass hinges coming half over the top, and a broad green satan ribbon bound around with a brass ring in front to lift the lid by. These are a little invention of my own and look remarkably well suited to wooden shelves of the table. The lower shelf is left quite free, for while one likes to supply guest with necessaries and conveniences the guest will have her (1 say her, forit woald never do to pi man in this room) own be- jongings, for which « space must be made if it already docs not exist; so ornaments should be quite sparsely permitted in a guest room. DRAPING THE WINDOW. The window was prettily fixed with sash our- tain of white with large dots of pink embroid- ered on it, and overcurtain hanging from a green rod of the silkoline frilled on front and bottom with the same, the overcurtain only being to the sill and was pushed back without looping. The shelf at the sill had a valance of the silkoline like the toilet table, aud on it was a dainty workbasket of white wicker, lined with green silk of a lovely light olive. At the corner washstand I hung « valance from the upper sbeif and on the wooden top put mats of white duck, leaf shaped .and worked in green silks, there being one under each piece of the toilet set. A full splasher curtain of the silk- oline protected the paper above, and a litt old hanging towel rack—a relic of former days, when tt ensbrined a gorgeous piece of canvas embroid $ painted green and filled with a shirring of silkoline. This was bung on the wail near enough for convenience. The one side-gas fixture had a lace shade put over it of pale terra cotta pink to soften light and give a rosy bue to everything. THE DOUBLY MANTAL. The lower mante! shelt I draped with the silkoline, as I said, by putting on a valance. and the upper one was left quite plain, with a few pretty ornaments, the chief one being a small graceful palm growing in an olive jar. Ihave forgotten to put in their proper places, which was earlier in this description, the mention of the floor covering, which is matting with dashes of black and color through it, the oaly rug being a white fur one by the bedside. And, too, I have omitted to speak of one of the pictures, of which there are only a few and allin black and white. Those that were there were framed variously in black wal- nut and oak, narrow moldings. I took these all out and painted the frames green and re- placed them, adding also a few more to the collection. In this room where so much dark green is used it has to be lightened in every way by brass, whenever the metal can be used, such as brass rings on the green rods for curtains and portiers, and brass candlesticks on the mantel. A brass inkstand is alsoon the window table. and the sconces on the mirror frame and mountings on the bed I have already men- tioned. The labor on the room was not very burdensome, the expense was very slight, clusive of the bed. which was not costly eit! as beds go, not much more than half what ei tre brass would be, but more stylish and strik- ing in effect, and yet @ decidedly novel looking room is the result. SILKOLINE is a resource for housekeepers, or house beau- tiflers rather—in many ways. The.coloring is so varied from most delicate shades to brilliant and bold designs itcan be used in nearly ax many ways as India silk, and the cost is so slight that unless a great quantity is used it seems to amount to almost nothi: One good use for it is for covering sofa pillows in bed rooms and sitting rooms. If they are made with full ruffies like silk ones, it is difficult to tell one from the other, and when soiled they wash ax well as the silk, too. Ihave long had a down pillow covered’ with itin common use, and a friend was much surprised the other learn it was not silk, though she had see! many times. Another way we see it made up in the sho; is for comfort coverings, and nothing could more attractive in coloring or prettier when fresh than it is forthe purpose. For sash cur- tains it is charming arranged in any possible way, that is for inside effect, though from the tside nothing looks prettier than a uniform sesh curtaining of cream white, and nothing is so Satisfactory either, as year after year muslin or madras can be washed and put up again with all the good looks of their prestine fresh- ness restored. “I'm afraid yon will have to took for a new place before the first of the month, Bridge’ “What fur, ma'am?” “Mr. Smith objects te a0 much waste in the all.

A terrible explosion took place yesterday at Bourges, Frauce, as briefly stated in Tax Stan. A sound as of « tremendous cannonade was heard, followed by a columa of white smoke in the direction of the Pyrotechnic School. At first it was thought that some scientific ex- periment was in progress, but the evil tidings soon spread and crowds hurried to the spot. Military measures were at once taken to main- tain order. The church bells were set a ri: ing and none were allowed inside the of the school but the relatives and de those inside, The scene was Stretcher after stretcher tracted bystanders bearing the dead the people tried to lift up the sheets that covered the bodies, only to be met by the sight of ehapeless remnants of flesh and severed arms and lags Gen.

The Marked Development of One of the Business Sections, SOME OPINIONS IN REGARD TO THR ACTIVITY 1X BUSINESS PROPERTE—ONE PHASE OF HOUSE HE LEADING feature of the real estate market continues to be the interest which is dispiayed in what is known as business property. During the past week there have been no sales of special moment, still the brokers find that inquiries for this class of property are frequent. Owners of property lying within the section where the greatest activity bas been displayed realize that their acquaintance with real estate agents is rapidly extending, and promises to include a large proportion of those engaged in that business. Any list of the properties that are on the market, if at all complete, would be @ long one, and some brokers are anxious to make their lists as full as possible. The atten- tion of those having money to invest is gener- ally directed toward property of this kind, and the numerous sales that have been made and others that are in the stages of develo ment are indications that buyers apprecia what is being offered. All this activity points to an extension of the present business terri- tory, and in a quiet way there is a good deal of discussion as to whether it is the result of a legitimate growth of the business of the city or whether it is merely speculative. In this discussion both sides of poy question are well represented, and it is not difficult to obtain opinions that seem to be conclusive in support of either view that is taken of this movement. Mr. W. B. Moses isa firm believer in its substantial character. Some weven cr eight years ago he had confidence enough in the future of F street as a business street to buy the ground where his business ! place is now located and pay the then unprece- dented price of 85 per square foot. He says he was advised at the time that he was not only foolish to pay uch «price. but that h was also unwise to remove his furniture busi ness to F street, which was even then largely a residence atrect. His experience, however, has proved that he was right and his advisers were wrong. Now it would be impossible to buy asite equally as eligibly located on F street for six or seven times the price that he paid. In talking with * S7aR wen tho other day Mr. Moses said that in his opinion within the next ten years the value of the property on F atreet would be twice what it wastuday. He said that before long property would become so valuable that it would be impossible for a small business to atay on the street, and he thought that the movement now in progress, which was changing the residences on the side streets and on the parallel streets north and south of F street, was a substantial indication of that fact. In his opinion the F street of the future would present a view of solid blocks of large business houses. OPINION OF AN OUTSIDER. A business man of large means, whose home isin Buffalo, rode through this section of the city the other day with Mr. T. A. Harding, the real estate agent. He was much impressed with the future outlook of the property, and when he learned the prices asked he said that they were much lower then property similarly located in his own city. This gentleman seeured one or two pieces of property and observed that he would like to buy more if he could spare the money from his business. Mr. Harding, who takes a conservative view, said that in his opinion, while the present prices were high, yet even at the figures now asked property would pay a moderate return, so that the purchaser could afford to wait for a rise in values. He cited one instance where he had recently sold a piece of property at what was considered a high price, yet the building was under rentso as to pay 5 per cent net on the purchase money. He thought that where the old buildings were removed and now buildings adapted for business purposes were erected that the property would yield a good return on the investment. A somewhat similar opinion is entertained by Mr. Batchelder of the firm of McLachlen & Batchelder. A few months ago this firm pur- chased a corner property on G street and fit- ted it up for their real estate business. Mr. Batchelder gays that they secured their pres- ent location because they saw that ina fow ope hey would be obliged to leave F street. le believed that the activity in G street prop- erty and in that along the side streets was due to the fact that more room was needed to ac- commodate the increasing business of the city. White, of course, he eaid, there was speci- lative phase in the movement, yet he believed that the basis was sound and that the future would justify the prices now asked and paid. AND THE CITY GORE RIGHT ALONG. There are of course extremists an both sides of this question, but the opinions expressed above seem to occupy the middle grouftd and to give fair representation, although the jas may be somewhat more moderate than the views both of “the boomers” and of the other class who are sometimes impolitely termed ‘the croakers.” The latter, however, have had a rather hard time 1 this city for the past fitteen years, because all their torebodings about the city bave proved groundless. In- stead of the bottom of our prosperity falling out and letting every ‘and everything down in a grand crash, the city has gone on with immense strides, ite prosperity has been unchecked, ite future has grown brighter with each year. SOCIETY AND ARCHITECTURE, People who attend the large official recep- tions in this city sre apt to complain about the interior arrangements of the residences of the cabinet ministers and other officials. Objec- tion is made to being ushered into the midst of a hoat of people inevening dress when the wed- ding garments, so to speak, have not yet been donned, or rather they are obscured under the wrappings which an evening costume makes necessary when going from the home to the reception, It isnatural fur pegple to wish to took their best and wien they know that they can look better it is exasperating to be obliged to pass through the gay throng of pleasure- seekers having the appearance of a guy in con- sequence of the wraps, overshoe: But it is necessary to make a virtue of necessity, and as there is only one entrance and one hall and one-staircase in the house, and as the dressing room is generally located on the second floor, of course the guests are obliged to run the gaunt- let in order to reach the dressing room. If un- der rach ciraumatances dear friends pase each other without a glance of recognition it is doned wan justifvble eutand no ill mill resulta, It is an interesting — for those who are thinking about building or wish to build a res- idence that would be convenient for social purposes to know how this objectionable feature can be done away with. Of course, these who can afford to buy corner lots can have two en- trances, av Vice President in his Tesidence on Scott circ But the people who ‘re rich enough to take care of themwelves, and so they can be left out of the consideration of this question, Suppose a man has an inside lot and uses the entire frontage of his honse, how is he joing to arrange the interior of his ome #0 thet his guests at a large reception may muke their firat appearance in their good clothes instead of being huddied up in wreps and stumbling along im goloshes?

ES, I'm a doctor now, said the bird fancier to @ Stan reporter yesterday as he dropped a capsule into the open ‘mouth of a bull dog he had between his ‘knees, ” he continued, patting the dog, "ma real doctor now; that is as far as dogs and birds go.

It was only Jast Monday that I amputated a dog’s tail. But that's nothing, we cut tails off every day or so. It’s a society fad, you know, to have dogs with tails. Then we clip terriers’ ears, but not much skill in that. You would laugh if you could see some of the ladies who bring dogs here to have their tails out. They go on terrible, and if the purp happens to yell, which, of course, it does, they stop up their ears and run away.” }o you allow people to see you at work?” No, not generally; but when these fine la- dies come down nothing will do but they must see everytbing.
