To Maire an Oriental Booth.

"Starting with the idea tint what we
do shall be an wsthetic solace, indicative
of one’s personality, let us consider first
the construction of an oriental booth.”
writes John Sparrowhawk on "ham
and Cozy Corners" in The Ladies' Home
Journal.

"A cot bed; with legs sowed off, with a
woven wire spring and afour inch mat
tress, will do for a serviceable couch. But
to make a coat which is not so apparently
a makeshift, construct of rough boards a
square framcofoet 6 inches long by 4
foot widonnd it inches deep. On a line
2 inches below the upper edge all around
bore half inch holes 4 inches apart. Take
a clothesiine and lace buck and‘ forth
through these holes, drawing the line
tightly. This makes a good spring for tho
umttross to rest upon. The front edge of
the wooden frame should be beveled so
that it will some sharp against the mat

is put to the test, however, and no mics

The available curtains, shawls or strips of

Two Boos-u.

Two rooms lately soon have impressed
upon me most forcibly the necessity of
having some plain surface in ovary room
as a rest for the eye and consequently the
mind. One of these rooms was lauded as
a thing of beauty because it existed i the

had been cxpondml upon it. ' The Other
room was in the house of a seuustress who
had expended her hard earned dollars in
furnishing a little parlor with which she
Was delighted. Both rooms were ugly and
timsomo because of tho figured surfaces
that covered floor, windows and furniture
and the hangings. The [mtturns were large
and showy in the eastern rug, the rich
walls were covered with a figured silk, and
the chairs had velvet roses growing in a
satin background. In a more mtisfactory
room done byu Woman decorator I find the
floor, which has a plain hard wood border.
covered by u largo rug with a plain center
and it figured lmrdcr. A table cover that is

The walls are covered with painted tapes-

fall. It was snowing when I went on
at night, and all trains were blocked,
and by morning I was almost buried.
My lunch was long ago gone, and I felt
like grinding my teeth into some brcak~
fast. Dinner time came and went, sup-
per hour passed, and no relief arrived.
I chi-wed cu lend pencils and rubber
bands until I felt- ]ikc a girl bookkeeper.
I pulled in my belt and nearly out my-
self in two, but the old hunger was
there just the same. So I tried to sleep,
but there was no sleep in ma with that
gnawing at my stomach.

"All at once I saw three muskrats
come up through a hole in the floor.
Muskrat was better than starvation, so
I made for them with a poker, killed
one, and the. others get away to freeze
to death. Skinning that follow and
dressing him didn’t take long. and with
wire I rigged in broiler. You bet your
life the smell of that cooking rat was
just great joy, and I'm no cbink either.
It just tickled mo so that I fell asleep
and only woke up when he was so burned
that the odor nearly choked me.

“The silowpiow came along soon,
however, and whoul got filled up again
I was sort of glad I hadn’t put down
the 01d inuskrut after all. He might not
have agreed with 11m. "—Ncw York Sun.

The [science of Smiles.
The gentle art of smiling is the latest
‘tbing which science has been meddling

Mr. Edward (layer, in a recent. lec-
turoin Paris before the Socioto d‘An-
ihropologio, stated that our smiles, how-
ever winning in outward summit. are
simply rrcords of our my remote nu-

caused him to open his mouth and show
his teeth, partly through pleasure and
partly through an instinctive impulse
to get lllllliilll in readiness for the m-

With the progress of civilization,
however, this facial contortion grew to
be caused by other pleasurable things,
and then came the sound of audible
laughter.

The graceful smile of tho lioness,
therefore, as she receives her guests is
merely an inherited expression of satis-

Again, the open smile of more open
