Don't put your initials or your name over everything you possess, so that peoÍ)le who piek up a fork or look at a pil ow sham will read, "John Brown, r property." It's all right to mark thin, of use in sotue such a way, but n things of beauty, and if you must . mark thern make the letters small aiu put them on the back of the objects, not the front. The woman who wears her initials in diamonds on a brooch is vulgar. The man who prints his monogram on his china does a useless thing, for nobody is going to run away with his dishes. Don't be too showy and complex. Don't make your napkin rings too emphatic and obtrusive. Put flowers on the table, but place them loosely or in glass, for if you put them in china or any other opaque substance you conceal half their beauty - namely, their 6tems. Don't enárely cover your wall with pictures, and when you have a picture don't let the shop keeper kill it with a big gold frame. Try bronze or something that will relate to the picture on the wall, and not make it stand out like a big, shiny spot of color and gilt gingerbread. - Decorator and Furnisher. Libanon, Ky., elaims the oldest vo man; she if said 10 be 121. Tan of different phadea is stül the r'igaing color of evening gloves
