HOUSEHOLDS IN LENT Governed by an 'Autocrat in the Shape of a Taper Hanger. A TYOXDEEFULLY PEETTI KOOM That Came From the Mind and Hands of an Artistic Decorator. KOW IT IS A FLOKAIi FIGURE CEAZE It's a trifle early for house cleaning, but at the same time the ladies are improrine the Lenten opportunity to formulate and mature plans for the temporary distraction and more lasting satisfaction of, the house hold in general. Paper stores, carpet stores and upholsterers aie besieged by the fair sex now-a-days; in fact, they are the people uho are doing the business just at present, and the paper hangers and decorators are the most important and independent people imaginable. For instance, said one of the first named Tariety the other day: "Mad ame, if yon change your mind just an eishth of an inch more regarding the paper jug of this room, I shall take my tools and leave the house." '"Such impudence," murmured the little woman thus addressed, as she repeated the incident to a bevy of sympathizing friends later in the day, but the paper hanger tri umphed and "the paper was hung without further ado. And the room is now one of the most stylish of the newly decorated rooms in the city, thanks to the hanger's decision, and the mistress of the home complaisantly smiles and accepts the complimentary re marks regarding her exquisite taste, made by visitors, with an air of condescension im mensely amusing to those on the inside track. ' Wonderfully Pretty Effect. The striking point in the papering of the room is the new border and ceiling finish which was used with a wonderfully prettv effect and which is called the "style" finish. And this consists of perfectly plain paper of a harmonizing or moderately con trasting color, combined according to taste, with the other paper of the room. In this room, as it is a spacious one, considerable of the plain was nsed, extending farinto the ceiling and deep down on the sides. The frieze is placed on the plain paper and Ftands out in effective relief. A pretty picture moulding is placed at the juncture of the plain and figured paper ou the wall ami a small moulding occupies a relative position on the celling. The effect is wondrously beautiful as the plain paper in this instance is of oid rose, snd the figured contains gobelin blue shaded into old rose. The same colors are to be een in the elegant carpet with which the ifloor i covered and in the luxurious hang ings, while the furniture is of antique oak. "1 he 'ttyle' finish is going to be very pop ular in the city," said a prominent paper $taler ou "Wood street the other d3y, "judg ing from the way it has caught on among rJ.e fashionables. It is the newest thing out in hanging paper, in fact the only real new luigiesioii, though there is an attempt being jiozde to revive the canopy styled ceiling of eeral years ago. It will not be successful, however, .is it has too pronounced an effect. Some Designs in Taper. "In papers, the floral designs and the old fashioned striped paper with sprays and clusters of flowers are the high price novel ties this spring, and tber are going Jike hot cakes. The geometrical patterns are re duced largely to the cheaper grade of goods because they nave had several years' run. The colonial designs are gotten out in the most expensiv- paper, and they bid fair to be standard while the floral craze will be of shorter duration. "Pansies.tea roses, clover and chrysanthe mums are the favorite.", and though the manufacturers have taken the precaution to label each roll with the name of the flower represented, it was hardly necessary, as the resemblance in colors and outlines is re markably good. "The name on the paper, though, catches the ladies, and thev fo away and tell their friends about that "lovely tea rose' pattern or that "sweet little clover paper,' and as a consequence new customers come in here daily and ask for different designs by their proper names. In French paper no particu lar new designs are shown. The French can't begin to compete with the American manufacturers in versatility, or the English either for mat matter, though they are su perior in coloring. If either the French or the English get out a new design once a year they are content, and the fact is heralded with great gusto, while an American firm wouldn't think of disolaying one pattern in the same jgrade of paper two successive years. Busi ness in our line is exceedingly good, in fact we have scarcely time to answer the telephone. Xine-tenths of the business of the year In our line is done between this and lne 20th ot April. By Decoration Day paper hangers put up their tools, and we fold our hands until fall, then we do the othtr tenth of the year's business. In the fall we sell the most costly paper; wealthy patrons then prepare their homes for social entertainments. If They Are Only Reasonable. "Xo, we don't find it difficult to please people when they are reasonable, but rather annojiu- and sometimes amusing when they haven't an idea of wnat they desire and will not countenance a suggestion from us. And oftentimes it requires considerable Christian patience and lortitude to success fully blend the inharmonious ideas of an antagonistic husband and wife into a harmo nious wall paper pattern." Just then a couple with the antagonistic qualities referred to, evidently, entered the store and the gentleman requested the sales man to show his wife the paper he had selected during the morning, and then with a look of dogged determination he awaited her decision and prepared to hold his ground. To his astonishment the lady nodded her head in approval, and said "that's very prettv, indeed." Her husband gyzed at her as if she had taken leave of her senses, or as if searching for the wings and was surprised into ejaculating: "Well, that's the first thing I ever did in my life of which you approved." A Gentleman of Taste. 'That gentleman, who, by the way, is a prominent iron man," continued the mer chant after the departure of the two, "is possessed of really artistic taste, while his wife is absolutely devoid of taste of any kind, with an idea, too, that she knows it z.'.'.. Poor man; he has to battle for every thing he has in the house or else suffer the tortures 01 offended sight by allowing her to n.ake Fclectious. A great many Pitts burgers who live in splendid homes that me lnaneisof bcautv and coloriug practically know notmt g whatever about the unity of colors or fabrics. They depend entirely vpou the merchants, and" in most instances it is a safe dependence. Occasionally, how ever, an unscrupulous dealer will take ad vantage of a confiding customer. "The other day an Fast End lady came in here with a carpet to match in paper. The roll was spread out on the floor and I took a Jook at it. Then I took an Italian mint to pr vent nausea :md snd: 'Madame, I can't HMtcli caruet i.-i:h t'ut. 1 never snr such aa oulrJgeous luiouy in yellows in all my life. AVIiere lu the name of Gladstone did you get it, ai.d wli.it in the name of Parnell Sid you get it for?' "Well, to be frank with von,' she re plied, I didn't like it when I ordered it, but ray husband told me to get something new, and Iwentto ,' naming an alleged relia ble firm, 'and they assured me this was the verv latest tiling in carpet'.' 'Madame,' said 1. 'you have been' grossly deceived aud im po.Kl upon. This carpet hears the stamp of ''.. .tod' embraces 47 distinct shades of yel low, while the newest thing m carpts istbc two-toned of any color in small geometrical pmtercs.' " riiiUIps Academy Reunion.

There was a large audience, every member of which listened with rapt attention to the speaker. Prof. D'Ooge is a fluent, entertaining lecturer, and be imparted a great deal of information about a country that is too little understood in the United States. The speaker showed that he was thor oughly familiar with the history of Greece, ancient and modern, and there was a general feeling, when he concluded, that it would have been pleasant to listen to him for an other hour.

When Elmer Collins, the faster, finished his twenty-fifth day of abstinence from food, at 10 o'clock last nigbt, he appeared more like a ghost than a living person. For the first time since the fast began he complained of being dizzy and exceedingly weak. He is beginning to show the terrible strain, and is haggard and emaciated. The doctors in attendance, however, say that with a good night's rest he will recuperate and gain strength, notwithstanding his con tinued loss of flesh. At noon yesterday Collins weighed 117 pounds, a loss of 21 pounds since the fast commenced. During the day he drank 25 ounces of water, a little more than his usucl amount, and if permitted to do so would have drank much more. He seems de termined, regardless of his critical condition, to win the $1,000, and the chances seem to be slightly in his favor. Funeral of a Popular Teacher. The funeral services of Miss Virginia Gibson, daughter of B. M. and Bosanna Gibson, of Oakdale, were held yesterday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church, of that place, Key. Mr. McJunkin officiating. Miss Gibson was a teacher in room No. 7 of Chartiers borough public schools, and was held in high esteem by all connected with the school.
