CORNER CUPBOARDS. The Style of Forty Years Ago Is the Most Popular Just Now. Corner cupboards are such extrava gantly popular pieces of furniture just ! now that bric-a-brac dealers not only buy them readily, but send out and j canvass the country in hopes of securing good specimens. The style of forty years ago is excel ! lent, with small panes of glass fitting j the shelf space, solid brass knob for the upper door, and brass keyholes in the lower section . Hut they do not always appear to advantage, because frequent ly the owner has tried to do the cup board over herself, and daubed its sur face over with villainous red paint. The quality of the wood can be deter mined by scraping off a little paint. II it shows a reddish pink it is cherry; if light color it is imitation. The idea is now to preserve the original design as nearly as possible, and to this end little renovation is made other than polish ing. The windows are left intact, an extra band of molding added on the top and supports placed underneath tc raise it about four inches from the floor Claw feet, with a carved apron, sur mounted by a narrow molding, are a wonderful improvement without in the least detracting from the coveted air of antiquity. Doing over an old cupboard is very inexpensive. The article itself costs at the least from $8 to sl2. To polish it alone amounts to $7 more, and, adding (•law feet and moldings, brings it up tc a total of S2B. These prices, of course, depend to some extent on the locality, A QUAINT BIT OF FURNITURE. labor being cheaper In some places than others. In lieu of the claw feet balls can be used, and, indeed, many persons prefer not to have them raised at all. Modernised cupboards are also in de mand, one of the handsomest being il lustrated here. The upper door was removed and a shelf cut out, leaving an open space between the lower and upper sections, and two doors with large plate-glass panels inclosing the remaining shelves. The lower doors were left intact, and brass hinges of elaborate pattern serve as ornaments. The open space is lined with plate mirrors, which reflect its silver and glass contents. The interior is painted a rich cream tint, against which deli cate china shows to advantage. One carver has sent out ten new cup boards in the last two years, princi pally to inland cities. They have all been different in detail and splendidly handsome specimens. Hut the old cup boards can be made equally beautiful at less expense, and for some reason their very ngo makes them more de sirable than the strictly modern affairs. —Kennet Wood, in Chicago Record. Dainty Table Appointments. Ilowever simple the bill of fare, the table appointment should always be clean and inviting. With a little care directed toward removing a spot when it appears, a tablecloth may be used to serve for several occasions, and remain spotlessly clean; while a rumpled nap kin or a coffee sta'.i upon the table cloth is accountable for many an un eaten breakfast and many a sick head ache. The center of the table should always be occupied with some refresh ing plant or flower. It may bo fern or a slender rose in its swaying vase, but whatever it is it will act as an ap petizer and tonic. A crisp bowl of let tuce or a dish of fresh radishes helps out the effect of the floral decoration. Salad Dressing Without OH. A coffee cup of cream, either sweetot sour; put on the stove in a hot watoi pan; then beat one egg with a tea spoonful of corn starch, adding to it, beating till it thickens. While it is boiling a little put in a cup a teaspoon ful of mustard, one of sugar, a small one of salt, adding vinegar enough to dissolve them, and put into the mix ture. This is a useful recipe, as it util izes the leftovers of cream, which will collect in hot weather. Milk, of course, may be used; then a piece of butter must be added to enrich it.

A Novelty Which Produces a Good Fffect with Little Labor. A novelty in fancy work, which is quickly done and is not expensive, and produces a very good effect with very little labor. This work can be used for pincush ions, mats, handkerchief sachets, and even slippers, a little taste only being required in the blending of colors, and care being taken to choose a suitable material as a foundation for the rib bon. After cutting a lining of silk, or any other material, the shape you de sire, the next thing is to tack altcrnat< rows of different colored satin ribbon; as close together as possible, beginning at the top of the lining, and cutting the ribbon off into length as you finish each row. Then commence to darn the two-colored ribbons in and out, over the dark and under the light one way, and reversing the order in the next row, so that squares are formed. A pretty handkerchief sachet could be made of blue satin ribbon and silver braid of the same width. Slippers would look well in black satin ribbon and gold braid. A pretty pincushion could he made of rather wide satin rib bon all one color, with trimmings of lace and hows at the corners. A large bag would be effective with tartan and black ribbon for the bottom part, and plush to match one of the colors in the plaid at the top, finishing off with cord and tassels or wide satin strings. The sachet in the sketch is made of blue satin ribbon and silver braid. Four corners form the front, and the back could he plain, or to match the front, according to taste. Each corner should be hound with ribbon, and n hook and loop should he placed under the how. A frill of lace gm-s all round and hows trim the corners.—St. Louis Republic. ABOUT YOUR CALLS. Vlnltlng Card Etiquette an Explained ly Ruth Aiihranre. I know it to be true that when you came to town you had for a visiting card a faintly-tinted stiff one on which was written your name, "Elinor Smith," in a fine Italian hand heavily shaded, writes Ruth Ashmore in Ladies' Iloinc Journal. Fortunately for you, your hostess saw this and kept you from making a faux pas. In the place of these rose-tinted ones, happily con signed to their proper resting place, the wastehasket, you now have rather thin white cards, almost square, with, as yon the oldest daughter, and as your mid dle name is your mother's maiden one, "Miss Cholmondeley Smith," engraved upon them. Your visiting card repre sents you, and consequently it must he in good taste. This form is desirable because, seeing it, old friends who knew your mother as "pretty Elinor Chol mondeley" will recognize you as her daughter and make an effort to show you some special courtesies. When you make, your visits you leave your card with the lady of the house and for eaeli daughter who is in society. When you cannot go to a reception or a tea your cards represent you. When you do go you lenve your card either with a servant who holds out a silver salver for it or you" put it on the table prepared for cards. This is done because, seeing many people, your friend may not remember all who were there, and the little bits of thin paste hoard tell of her visitors and warn her of those to whom she owes either a personal visit or a return card. You called one day on a friend who lives very quietly, and who opened the door for you. For her a card must be left also, and as j'ou are a bright girl you can either do it before her, reminding her that you do not* intend to let her forget you came to see her, or you can leave it in the hall when you are ulone, for your hostess does not accom pany you further than the drawing room door. Sweet Potato Bliicultn. Roil six sweet potatoes very soft, peel and mash through colander, add one pint of milk lukewarm, two table spoonfuls of white sugar, two yeast cakes, dissolved in milk, and flour enough to make a soft batter; mix well and allow it to rise, then add four tahlespoonfuls of melted butter, a little suit, one egg and enough flour to make n soft dough. Let this rise again, roll It Into a sheet an inch thick, and cut into cakes. Set to rise again and bake in a quick oven. Bran Bag* for the Bath. Bran hags are delightful adjuncts to summer baths.

Sweet Summer Olrls—Their Sweaters, Their Heart Charms and their Funny Fashion of Wearing Their Arms Akimbo—The Pocket Flask. ICOPTRbSMT. HJVS.I f£IE summer girl of '9 5 will be "faddy." That is has been coined by her to express a penchant for somewhat start ling innovations of manner, walk j season she will outdistance all other i summers by the number of her fads j and their bizarre originality. I have never been able to discover whether this capricious goddess of the "silly season" evolved her own fads from her inner consciousness or had them invented to order. Where they originate is almost as great a mystery j as where she herself goes when the j turning autumn leaves betoken the ! ending of summer. A unique and decidedly novel orna ment which is to be found in the jewel box of my lady's dressing table is the huge heart locket, which she hangs about her neck on a long silver chain that reaches far below her waist. It is nearly as big as a silver dollar and a rather awkward ornament, as it swings about with every motion of the wearer, and its safety is imperiled greatly in traveling about, getting into the car riages or horse cars, walking through a crowded shop or on the promenade of a swagger watering place. Of course, this heart lias been chris- ! tened "Trilby." Why, who can'tell? Trilby has never been represented as ! wearing her heart on her sleeve. She ! would probably have tangled herself inextricably in the Quartier Latin frivolities had she attempted to sport such an ornament, but "Trilby hearts' these fanciful, dangling receptacles arc called. They are of gold or silver, and many are incrusted with diamonds and othei gems. Some are extremely flat, and others are repousse and rounded, like THE "SWEATER." tlio organ that is supposed to heat in the breast of the girl who dares to wear russet shoes, with a silk frock and a sailor hat, on horseback. These heart lockets are, of course, intended to contain the photograph of the especial man who Is buying bon bons and roses for the young woman j wearer of the trinket.
