THE BILLOW CRAZE. IT BRINGS COMFORT AND BANISHES FORMALITY. Soft. Fluffy Ctiftliion* Are In Demand For Chain*. Coucheit ami Co*y Corner*—These Restful Affairs May 1U» Gk>r|j;eoas ami Costly or Simple anti Inexpensive. A pleasing fashion, which it is devoutly hoped has come to stay, is the one that demands numberless pillows and cushions of all sorts, shapes and sizes. The advent of the cushion has ushered in an air of restfulness and comfort where formerly severity and stiffness prevailed. Indeed L w crazes have resulted in such beneficent effects. Those inanimate comforters have proved a boon alike to old and young regardless of sex. Pillows and cushions are by no means restricted to cozy corners in a lady's boudoir and family lounging or sitting room. Bachelors' apartments afford a rich and varied assortment, the number having noticeably increased since the fad for souvenir spoons gave way to the craze for souvenir pillows. A generous supply of shapely pillows scattered about imparts an air of comfort to the least inviting of rooms. Up

mounted on frames furnished with cast rs for convenience in moving about. While cushions of down are more luxurious than are those made of feathers, they are also much more expensive. In many homes there are stored away feather beds, one of which would furnish liberal contents for half a dozen or more sofa and chair pillows. Generally speaking, unless one has cause to trust her judgment in the selection of colors, it is suggested that these lesser articles of ornament and comfort bo covered with material that is quiet and unobtrusive in tone. Brilliant hues are se’dom used by the uninitiated with artistic effect unless it chances that they alford a decided contrast to some sober covered chair or couch. A bright rod cushion on a slate colored chair would prove pleasing, for instance, but unless one is quite certain that a high color will harmonize with the surroundings it is wiser to select quiet hues that will prove inoffensive, if not artistically correct Alice Varnum.

THE ROSE CUSHION. to date women know this, and consequently these soft, fluffy affairs are lavishly placed on couches, chairs and sofas, while floor cushions are conveniently locatid in front of high seats and in corners adjoining the fireplace. In a word, one cannot have too many of these comforters about the house. When the housewife has an eye to decorative effect, she varies the shapes and the coverings, and herein lies a largo field for the exorcise of artistic taste. In selecting the materials for covering pillows and cushions everything depends on the wear and tear these affairs are to encounter. Cushions for parlor nud other formal rooms demand dainty materials and more elaborate decorations than do those for the much used sitting room or nursery. Where elegance as well as comfort is demanded silk faced velvet, satin and india silks, with embroideries and laces, combine to make ornamental effects as well as cozy resting places in the apartment. An effective pillow is one covered with openwork scrim, with rows of ribbon placed upon the plain stripes, made over a contrasting color of silk, with ruffle of sheer lace surrounding the whole. An india silk pillow is a very pleasant one to lay one’s face against, and when selected with due regard to harmonious coloring the effect is very satisfactory. A very airy effect is gained with a gradation of yellow tints—as, for example, a yellow silk cushion, finished with three ruffles of silk, each shorter than the other and one degree lighter in shade than the cushion, these ruffles to bo all set in the seam. yuite out of the ordinary are the rose cushions, made in crape and gauze of any desired color. Another unique affair is a cushion and chair back combined. This is covered with figured silk and lined with plain silk, the two parts being joined together with ribbon bows. A comparatively new material for pillows is chamois, which is effectively decorated either with hand painted designs or embroidered ones. These pillows are usually finished with a ruffle of the chamois cut in scallops, or the ruffle may he of silk of a corresponding color. Now that crochet work is again to the fore, colored cushions of silk are being covered with crocheted openwork in knitting silk. Wheels and medallions are favorite designs in this work. Another popular pillow is the one embroidered with disks of different sizes and varying colors. Cushions are also covered with narrow ribbons feather stitched together, after the fashion of the old time crazy quilts, and exceedingly effective is this cover when the ribbons are selected with an eye to a pleasant combination of culurs. "* The over popular denims afford the most serviceable material for the marking of all Soils of OUSliioUs Rud pilloWS. Denim possesses the additional merit of withstanding the laundry, an important item when the pillows are in constant use. Blue denim enhanced with bands of Irish point embroidery is decidedly pleasing in effect. Denim pillows are jBun de.'orated with what is known an novelty braid embroidery The novelty br?id is composed of opcuwoik uiedal-

FEATURES OF FASHION. PopnlRrlty of Si-parate Want** and Crepon Skirts—Fabric# For Evening Gown#. One of the leading features of the season’s fashions is the black crepon skirt which appears on all occasions, at all hours, and has completely usurped the black moire so popular last year. It is usually devoid of all trimming, the smartness of the costume being contributed by the bodice. This fad for waists differing from the skirt promises an indefinite extension and will blossom ont in fresh varieties as the season advances. The skill of the dressmaker seems likely to be taxed to the utmost in the varied phases of the modern skirt. The latest decree in Paris is that the skirts of morning dresses shall be short enough to clear the ground, and made with no fullness at the waist, either at the back or sides. They must be fitted very carefully around the hips and stand out in folds at the feet in front as well as at the back. Another variety of skirt originating in Paris has three box plaits in the back, which meet, and three in front, which are separated. Three bands of gnipure embroidery ending in rosettes of velvet trim this skirt. Cloth dresses are still much worn and will he until warm weather makes them an impossibility. As has bean intimated, separate waists are rather increasing in elegance than showing any sign that their popularity is waning. A simple and at the same time stylish bodice, illustrated in the

ARTISTIC FURNISHING. CorrtH’t Principles »•* Explained bj The Decorator and Furnisher. A piece of furniture good in design, good in material, good in workmanship, designed for a purpose and used for that purpose is always beautiful. A good shape needs no ornamentation, and a bad shape is made worse by ornamentation, which only gives emphasis to its defects. Floor and wall coverings should form backgrounds for pictures, cabinets and furniture, but the vulgarian will not have it so, and the consequence is with flowers on the wall, flowers on the

A SIMPLE BUT STYLISH BODICE. New York Sun, affords a pleasing model in this direction. It may be made of soft silk fulled into the belt back and front. The ueck is cut low and well off from tho shoulders in the Victorian style and is edged with a bertha of lace. A band of ribbon extends from under each arm to the shoulders, where it forms a rosette. Diaphanous materials, such as tulle, chiffon, monsseline de soie and spangled net, are the most popular for ball gowns and are usually made over satin of the same color. Many pretty gauzy fabrics can be purchased at reduced pricea Lace berthas in the Marie Antoinette style and sashes of gorgeously flowered ribbons are attractive accessories of the latest evening gowns, especially for yonng ladiea Evening gowns may be simple or as elegant as money can make them, but one is quite as fashionable as the other Tulle dresses are made with one, two or three layers fulled over a gored satin skirt. Violet tulle is a favorite, and baby waists tninured al theiiebk and belt with silver galoon are the prevailing style of bodice. Narrow wreaths of flowers am also a pretty neck finish. Chiffon and mull are favorite materials with young girls for evening wear.

UPHOLSTERED SKAT UNDER WINDOW. floor and furniture everywhere, taste dies by violence, and the apartflient, instead of being a resting, restful place, j is a storeroom for furniture. Good taste is too precious to be sacri- , flood to quantity. It is not necessary tc I furnish a house or even a room com- } pletely with a given sum. One good ar- j tide a year is better than a lot of inex- 1 pensive,showy things. There is too much reckless buying. It is a wise plan to study tho needs of a room, to select a piece for its utility first; then if the de- | sign is artistic, if tho lines are good and j if it is well made, it must be beautiful. Simple things are not cheap, but it pays to buy them in the long run. One never | tires of simplicity. Good taste can bo illustrated in inexpensive materials. Wall papers are made [ in the most delicate tints of color, and for those who like hangings and cannot afford silks or tapestries there are cottons and gunny cloth that admit of most j artistic effects. It is tho same with carpets. Solid colors aro always good, and [ besides velvets and Wiltons there aro felts and momio cloths of the same va- J riety of color. As means permit, a few rugs may lie bought, and if properly selected each will bo a picture on tho i floor. A great mistake is made in trying to | mako sJbOO do the work of $1,200. Sacrifice everything but taste and bo con- | tent to get good pieces by degrees. Pro-S for hard wood and good workmanship ev- ' ery time to ridiculous decoration. Speaking of lounges, couches and sofas, there is an economy iu upholster- j ed seats which can bo built, as the old ingle nooks were, between the fireplace i ami tho walls or below tho window.

Two babes were born in the nrlfsame town On tho very same bright day They laughed and cried in their mothers' arms In the very selfsame way And both were pnre and innocent As falliiiK' fiuKf s of snow, But one of them livi d in Dim torr»ced And oiiu ill luu street below Two children prayed in the selfsame town, And tho ehil iren LhjIii were fair, But one had e'sr»* brui'V*} #’?:.'»/.th and rr.imJ; The either had taisgie-d tuiii The children both grew up apace, As other children grow, But one of them lived in the terraced house And one in the street below Two maidens wrought in the selfsame town. And one wlls wedded and loved, The other saw through the curtains’ part Th<» world where her sister moved. And one was smiling, a hanpv bride: i tie other anew care end woe, For one of them lived in the terraced house And one in the street below Two women lay dead in :ne selfsame town. And one had tender care; Tho other was left to die alone On her pullet all thin and bare. And one had many to mourn her loss Fur the other few tear>» would flow. For one had lived in the terraced house And one in tho street below If Jesus, who died for the rich and poof, lit V 1 M < l 1 O 11 lixzt J to.O, Took both the sisters in his arms And carried them above, Then all the difference vanished quite.
