FEATURES. Revised Styles Of Bedsteads BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ANINTERESTING WAY TO DRESS A FOUR-POSTER BED HAVING NO VISIBLE FOOTBOARD, ESPECIALLY IF THE DESIG OUT IN LAMPWICK WORK AND FRENCH KN HE changing fashions in bed- steads has brought into prom- inence just now two interest- ing styles—the bedstead with a bow footboard and the bed- mtead with no visible footboard at all. The French favored both of the styles and there are many delightful exam. ples to be found in the periodic his- | tory of that country. Styles have a way of blending in different countries, sometimes making it difficult to say in which a fashion started, and we find both these bedsteads in England and in America, where all vogues come in time, though not necessarily in peri odic sequence. The four-poster. with neither head nor foot board visible, and holding a billowy feather bed, was fa vored here in early Colonial days. The bedstead minus the footboard comes in_two distinct and different models. One has @ headboard some. times hidden by pillows and posts, with the posts alone showing at the foot. There is sufficient footboard, however, for the mattress to be held securely without slipping. The spread conceals it. This coverlid is cut out at the lower corners to allow the high posts to stand in all their stately grandeur, for there is a trace of grandeur to be found in all four-poster bedsteads, or a valance is used with tucked-in spread. Maple Wood Favored. A favorite wood used in the making 1s maple, though mahogany and other woods are employed also. The tone of the maple is particularly felicitous, with its soft, reddish finish, typical of many antique bedsteads of similar design. These bedsteads fit admirably in old- time farmhouses and in more preten- tlous old dwellings that once were termed mansions. They are decidedly BEDTIME STORIES Peter Goes Up to See the Wrens. Befora you believe quite all you hear Investigate and have it clear. —Old Mother Nature, Peter Rabbit couldn’t get over the news that Carol the Meadow Lark had brought to the dear old Briar-patch. Peter had long been fond of Jenny and Mr. Wren. There was no one he wel- comed back more heartily and joyous- “HELLO, JENNY!" EXCLAIMED PETER. “WHAT ARE_YOU DO- ING IN THAT HOUSE?”” ly in the Spring. He just couldn't believe that the rumor that Jenny and Mr. Wren had destroyed the eggs of some of their neighbors could be true. He dldn’t want to believe it and he wouldn't believe it. But he couldn’t think of anything else. So the first chance he got he ran up to the Old Orchard. He knew just about where to look for the Wrens. Almost at once he heard Mr. Wren singing. He hurried over there. Jenny Wren popped her head out of the opening of & little house Farmer Brown's boy had put up for her. S tat, tut, tut, tut, tut, see who's here!” exclaimed Jenny Wrenn. “Hello, Jenny!” exclaimed Peter, “what are you doing in that house? I thought you had your nest in another houge.” “So T did,” replied Jenny; “I raised one-family in that house, and now I raising another family in this house. Peter was looking around. He really wasn’t paying any attention to Jenny Wren. Jenny noticed it. “Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut! You are most im- polite, Peter Rabbit!” she cried. “What are vou looking around for when I'm talking to you?” ‘“Where are all vour neighbors, Jenny?” asked Peter, for he had no- ticed that there were no other birds very near. “Nelghbors! 1 don't want neigh- bors. Nelghbors too close are a nui- sance,” sputtered Jenny. “T like to have a little privacy myself. Then, too, it is easier to get a living when there are mot too many living close together. The nelghbors are plenty near enough here.” “But it seems to me there used to be several, right around here,” said Peter. “Is that so?” snapped Jenny. “Well, you don't see them around here now. “That's just it,” replied Peter, * don’t and I'm wondering why.” “Don’t ask me,” retorted Jenny. “Go ask them. This is a free country, and, goodness knows, all of them are hig enough to know their own minds and do what they please. As I sald ! 1S CARRIED OTS OR IS TUFTED. | adaptable, being equally at home in modest houses and fine ones. They should be simply dressed, wherever they are, for simplicity is | characteristic. Old-fashioned lamp- | wick embroidered and tufted spreads are equally good, and sheer dimity or organdy coverings with ruffied flounces are charming. These latter spreads are made with a turn-over sham por- | tion. 1f the material has a right and wrong side differing, the sham portion ‘u camed so that the wrong side is uppermost. When the pillows are laid | on it and the top brought over them | the right side comes into view, con- cealing the turned seam. Luxurious Bedsteads. The other type of bedstead without footboard is distinctly different. It usually has a headboard that is elabo- rate, with carvings and embellish- ments. It requires magnificence in set- ting and in dressing. Rich silks, laces |and brocades lend themselves to the | making of spreads and sumptuous coverings. Such a bedstead would | grace a castle, as, indeed, it often did. It is scarcely suitable for average | homes, but it is fascinating to consid- |er its luxurious elements. | Bow-end Bedsteads. | Bow bedsteads are graceful and prac- |tical for homes where good style is | found, without necessarily implying | extravagance. They were used in the |early and mid-Victorian periods, and |are among the best models of wooden | bedsteads that prevailed during these | epochs. The graceful, curved ends of | the wooden footboards cuddle the mat- tress and hold covers well also. Spreads may be elaborate or simple, to suit the rest of the decorations in chambers. They look best, perhaps, when tucked in well, instead of faliing over the | woodwork at the sides of the bed- | stead. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS before, I'm satisfied. Neighbors are all right when they are not too neigh- borly.” “What has become of Tommy T the Chickadee and Mrs. Chickadee?' Peter asked. “I guess they're around some- where,” replied Jenny carelessly. “But I thought they were living in that little house over in the next tree,” said Peter. “They did live there for a while, but for some reason or other they moved. T guess they didn’t like it as well as they thought they were go- ing to,” replied Jenn “Did_they raise a family in there?” asked Peter. “No,” said Jenny, *“‘they moved be- fore they had a family. They moved quite suddenly.” “‘Are Skimmer and Mrs. Skimmer the Swallows occupying their old house?” Peter inquired. Again Jenny Wren shook her head. “No,” said she, “they’ve moved to an- other part of the Old Orchard. But, goodness, T can't stop here talking any longer. Tut, tut, tut, Peter, you're a dreadful gossip! If you had any house- hold duties to take care of, you wouldn’t waste time sitting around talking.” Jenny twitched her funny little tail, and, turning about, she popped into her house, leaving Peter with such a funny look on his face. He was think- ing of what Carol the Meadow Lark had told him. It certainly was queer that Jenny Wren'’s one-time neighbors had all moved away. HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. Such a tiny writing room and study, but oh, how large in satisfaction! Though only 6 by 8 feet, it contains every comfort and convenience—good light, room for books, a_cupboard for scrap books, a commodious desk, a desk lamp, and a reading chair. | This particular room was built into one end of a sun parlor, but it could be even more easily contrived if in- cluded in the plans for a new home. Just the place for mother to get away from the children to read and write letters, for father to go over that work he brought home from the office, and for the young student of the family to get his lessons. | be married. SUB ROSA BY MiML The Conclusion Jumpers. Marie and Allen were engaged to A week before the wed- ding they were in Marie's home one day when a messenger brought Allen a telegram. He glanced at it hastily, stuffed it away in his pocket and turned to Marie with some casual re- mark plainly intended to turn her mind from the message he'd just re- ceived. “What's the wire got to say? asked curiously. “I'd rather not tell you just now, he_answered quietly. Instantly all the suspicion and Jealousy in her nature were aroused. “1 insist on knowing,” she told him imperiously. “And I should much prefer not to tell you at this time,” he replied. The discussion waxed -hotter and more furious” until it ended in an ultimatum: Either Allen should tell Marie the contents of the telegram he’d recelved or she would never see him again. You see, she had quite made up her mind that the wire had come from some other girl of whose existence Allen hadn’t told her. And Allen was hurt to think he couldn't be trusted—angry at her imperious- ness and too proud to give in. So they parted and Marle never knew that that message had con- tained the startling information that Allen had come into a goodly for- tune and that her fiance had hesi- tated to tell her the good news until he could verify it. All because she insisted on jumping to a silly old con- clusion that did her no good. How many of us have been called up two or three nights before the big dance and told that our special swain was going to have to work too late at the office to be able to escort us to the grand affair as he'd planned! Then perhaps, later, we hear that a special stag dinner was held on the same night as the big dance, and we put two and two to- gether, make five, and have a big fight about it all. With the probable result that even if the boy is innocent of the crime he’s accused of he's much too proud to prove his innocence. And so we lose the friendship of a nice boy, just because we let our minds run away with us—so that we jump to ugly conclusions. It's such an easy thing to do—to think things out and arrive at a totally wrong conclusion which makes us unhappy and eventually breaks up a friendship or an engagement. Don't let your mind dwell on un- pleasant possibilities—if vyou suspect some boy of an untruth, an infidelity —try to dismiss it from vour con- sciousness until adequate proof turns up to convict him. Remember that many events which may seem to you she DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX No Cure for the Perfect Housekeeper Who Is Cross and Irritable—The Young Girl Who Is Tagged “verywhere by Her Young Brother and Sister. EAR MISS DIX: I am much dist dearly, is killing herself with her tressed because my wife, whom 1 love housework.

Answer: Alas, poor Worried Husband, there is nothing that you can do to save your wife, or make conditions more endurable for yourself. It a woman has the neat-as-a-pin or the could-eat-off-the-floor complex, she suffers from a hopeless affliction from which there is no cure. The very sight of a cake of soap, or a broom, sends her into an orgy of scrabbing and sweeping, and nothing will wean her from her If cleanliness is next to godliness, insanity, the poor victims of which realizing what the alienists call the “: tell It is no use them unnecessary work. to their excessive order they make their gods. , over-cleanliness is certainly a form of e beyond the reach of all reason, or of nature and quality of their acts.” that they are killing themselves doing They go right along polishing up the handles of the attic door and rubbing up the cellar steps. It is no use to tell them that by homes places of torture in which every one is made to feel that it is a crime to move a chair from its predestined place, or to step on a rug. They will drive their husbands and children away from home on to the streets, and into saloons, and other women's homes, rather than have a doily mussed up, or a book changed from its proper alignment on its shelf. Certainly it is every wife's duty to be a good housekeeper—to keep her home neat and clean and tidy, and to set a good table—but if she runs the go0od housekeeping idea to excess, she makes it a vice instead of a virtue. An overneat house in which everything is sacrificed to cleanliness is really worse than a sloppy, slovenly house i n which one can take one's ease. There should be moderation in everything, and a sane woman takes the middle path, She keeps the house clean, but not too clean. certain order, but she doesn't make a wholesome food, but she doesn’t mal She preserves a fetish of it.

One mother says: When the tires on the baby's cab began to show wear in front we changed them to the back as the front always gets the burden of knocks. In this way all four wore out evenly. After dinner today pop started to smoke with his feet up and ma sed, O deer, Willyum, I had sutch a trying day today, it seemed to be one of those days wen everything goes topsy tervy and theres no heds or tales to eny- thing.

My stenografer spilt a half a bottle of ink on my desk this morning and completely ruihed a blotter that had one of the prittiest avvertizements on it I ever saw, but I forced myself to disregard it, he sed. O wats a blotter? ma sed. You'd have something to complain about if a big brute of an ice man dropped a big brute of a block of ice and it broke all up and made your nice cleen kitchin look likes 2 2nd hand skating rink, she sed.

And he shook the newspaper mad and got behind the sporting page. Cucumber Cicilienne. Choose a well shaped large cucum- ber and cut it into pleces two inches in length. Remove the peel and the center. Skin two sausages and mix them on a plate with one-half tea- spoonful of mixed herbs an. one tea- innocent interpre- | | spoonful of chopped parsley and sea- son with salt and pepper. Stuff the cucumber pleces with the mixture. Put them into a saute pan with two ounces of butter or margarine, cover with greased paper, put on the cover, then cook In a moderate oven until tender. Baste occasionally. Dish on croutons of fried bread, sprinkle one ounce of grated cheese over, then pour three-fourths pint of good white sauce around. If preferred, the sauce may be poured over the cucumber cups and the cheese sprinkled over. In this case just brown under a griller or in the oven. You are at the age when we take life the hardest; when everything seems final; when we grow desperate over trifles, and when small things loom big, out of all proportion to thefr importance. It is a time when we break our hearts over nothing; when we shed barrels of tears over fancied wrongs; when we are abnormally sensitivé to ridicule, and when we are so self-conscious that we imagine that the eves of the whole community are fastened upon us, watching our every step. It is a time when we feel that life holds nothing eise for us, and that we | had as well turn our faces to the wall and die, if it rains so that we cannot g0 to a picnic, or we fall to be invited to a party. It is a time when we are humiliated to death if we haven't the same kind of party frock, or Klassy Kut Kollege Klothes that all the other girls and boys are wearing. It is a time when we could die of shame if we are put into an absurd position. It is because the sufferings of vouth are so acute, because youth is so morbidly sensitive, that it seems to me a pity that parents do not recognize this and sympathize with it, and do all in their power to prevent this needless misery and save these foolish tears. care, a little sense of humor and a lit It takes only a little thought, a little tle recalling of their own youth on the part of the parents, but it means so much to the youngsters.
