THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD

MATTERS FOR AGIUCTLTI. IUSTS AMD THEIR WIVES. Concerning; the Transplanting of Forest Trees Tbe Time to Do It EverKxeen Require rnrtlcnlar CartwA Collection of Farm "ote Amonar the Ponllry lllnt to Houseteeper Recipes. Dr. Jchn Laird. Searcy county, Ar kansas, eaks: "What is the proper sea Bon for transplanting pmall forest trees, such as maple, pine, walnut, oak, pop lar, cedar, elm. black grum, ash, etc.? The reason 'Why I -wish for such infor mation is that I desire to Wave more shade and forest trees around my house than I have at present. Please answer as to the season of the year that I cou'.d with a certainty of success transplant from my forest to the gTounds around my house." The doctor Was opened up a. pretty wide field, and as there certainly are many of our Teaders like minded we will give as full an answer as space will allow. Taking trees from the forest la not advocated, because, first, fhey have too much shade In their native habitat, and feence are likely to die when planted In the open grounds; and, secondly, they have only had nature's care and often are not well grown as to size and form, because the struggle for the light makes them too tall for their thickness; and, lastly, the accumulated humus in the forest is a richer soil than they will receive by change of abode. If, "however, there be an opening in the forest so that small, well-formed trees can be had. It might be worth while to transplant euch. Let me say, also, that nurseries would furnish trees, well grown three cr four years old, that would be worth much more than those obtained from th woods, almost at the cost of the labor to take trees from the forest, and their roots wouiJ be better and in sequence the success of having: them grown would cfrset any ad van tape native trees would give. The forest trees tilso would have to be sought out perhaps from wide-separated Idealities. Now, as to the season of the year, wo think always and for a'.l localities spring 14 the best. If our correspondent wihes to facilitate anl hurry up the season, and will take the surest st-s, let him peleet the spots wh-re the trees are to Ptand and dig wide and deep holes, at any convenient time. In Arkansas it may be possible to transplant trees in January or at late : t in Fevbniary. P.elow we will once more go into the detail of plintIng any tree. The uoc'tor mentions in his list some conifers or evergreens. These require particular ea-e, because they are not like decidu u-? -trees, the top of which can be reduce-d to nuke them balance the mots. J-lery root of an evergreen thouM be preserved and taken xip with the utmost ca.e. .Again, tre-y must be kept moist and diadd whir being dug, transported or planted. The reason is obvious, the sap of triebe trees is full of rosin, which, on -e haid.ned, cannot be made to How, and tin tree is dead, virtually, even before it is planted in its new abode. Again, all the nut trees, including oaks, io-hes. plums and nthr hardfitted fruit trees, have top roots, which are most essential to their growth and health. These top roots are- likely to In' cut wh?n taken out of the soil. The Fkill in tr.i nsplanting these consists In the forming of another top root. The longest la Ural root may be bent down by the planter and so held in place by fucking the earth, that it will actually econr? a top root. Of course it should be as near under the center of the tree OS possible. Now. as to the planting of "trees. The hole where the tree i.s to stand should b both de ---per and wider than the roots would seem to require. A small mound should le mad of new, rich earth, with no manure of any sort. On this place The tree and spread out the roots into their natural position, extending the longest laterals to the southwest, the direction of the prevailing winds. Now fill in between the roo:s very compactly, esjK-' i.illy uinbr th- center of the tree. Gradually lid in. taking first the surface Foil until two-thirds of the hole Ls filled, all tli v tin: - srt-ntly shaking- the tree aal bending it a little to the southwest. Now make the soil compact and pour in a bucket of water. Settle the soil as much as possible and till i'p -'m- inches above the level of the ground, because the first peneral rains will so settle the earth as to leave a depression after all that has leen done. To make assurance doubly eure, rl.iee a strong stake near the tree, and with .ome soft material tie the 'tree to the stake and keep it so for at least two years. Heavy mulching will be in ord-r for all the trees, more especially for the evergreens. For plants of the Osage orange, the peeretary of the Kansas horticultural society, Lawrence, Kas.. will be able. I think, to furnish the information wished: nr.d jierhaps also for the Japan iuineet If I were to piatsj a hedge of no greater extent than a home lot. orchard, or like small incl osure, I would mix these two plants, viz., Osaue and Japan quince, as they are not enemies to each other, and would occasionally plant a trumpet and Virgin! i. creeper, also, which, all toge-th-er, would make a very ornamental hedge. Charles V. Murtfeldt in the St. Louis Republic. All Around the Farm. The apple trade with Great Rritain has assumed greit proportions, amounting to ".Oe'i.000 bushels within the past twelve years. The floods that hive devastated eastern Pennsylvania and western NewYork are ascribed to the lnuuenee of tho deforestation. The cotton crop of the country for the past five periods of ten years eam has passed from 2,4',3,00.1 bales to 7,472.511 bales for 1v-.it, the crop doubling from to 1 "). The pig that has been on clover in pummer and the hog that has roots and Clover hay in the winter, says a writer, make larger profits than the grain eating pig and hog. Apples are usually budded about Septemier, Che exact time depending on the State of the bark. It must lift easily, to admit the bud of the better kind, which la to be inserted. In the selection of the dairy cows an experienced dairyman advises to beware ! Of small eaters, weakly built frames and Ceshy animals, or a tendency to fatten readily if well fed. A writer says that cows udders unevenly balanced are caused by careless milking; caused by milking the smaller Bide first. He claims that it can be remedied by reversing the operation. From 183) to the ratio of cows to population decreased but little. The number of cows is not a crlteron of the butter produced, for the ra.on that production per cow is rapidly increasing. The success of Denmark in butter-making is almost wholly dependent upon the education of every member of the farmer's or buttermaker's family In the most advanced lines of butter-making science. It requires, says an exchange, 3,r,00 locomotives annually, and 1,00) ocean crafts to move the surplus cattle, cettotf, lumber, sugar, sorghum, oil, grain, hiy. fruit and other etaples grown In Texas. The Natlon.il Dairyman says great care is needed in keeping dairy fait. It absorbs and retains odors as readily as the milk or cream, and should always kept in a place free from all bad odors. The Progressive Dee-Keeper says that Tames lieddon advises getting all the

! white honey stored in the sections, and

extracting all the dark fall honey, as th; latter brings about as much In the market when extracted as It would in the comb. If farming, carried on as it ls today, in the slipshod way, with the little interest we take in it. and the little time that is devoted to it, if It will take care of its men, women and children, as It does do, day after day, year after year, it is not for us to state that the farm business Li a failure. There is a vat difference in the manner of placing anything on the market. A bee-keeper says: I have seen choice honey put up In such a slovenly manner as to sell for 2 cents less than the market price. Again I have seen honey no better put up in a neat and tasty way so as to bring a cent more than the going price. Those who keep young stock alive through the winter on rough fodder for the sake of the growth they will make next summer should be able to see that the summer growth could bo added Just as well and much cheaper if the animals had been kept growing all winter. You cannot starve a young animal and make it up afterward. What a state of excitement the daily papers have worked themselves Into of late over tuberculosis. If this fad about microbes and bacilli keeps on we will soon have to wear disinfecting cotton over our noses and live on canned food heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while the poor cow will have to go into the can. Jersey Bulletin. It la said that In Virginia there are 1,000.000 acres of waste land or land that is not under cultivation more than there is under cultivation, while in North Carolina there is double the land not cultivated that is cultivated. Illinois has 4,0u0.000 of its 30,000,000 that are idle. Less than half of the land of Maine and New Hampshire ls under cultivation. If you are supplying "fresh eggs" to customers and happen to find a new nest in the straw pile or elsewhere, do not put the contents with the eggs you sell. Keep them for home use and you can "try them" when breaking. People that buy fresh eggs of private parties do not expect to have to "try" them before using that is why they pay the extra price. A large quantity of American hayfound its way Into Switzerland last season, the municipalities of each town or village being the purchasers. They bought large quantities and distributed It among the people at cost, thus preventing unscrupulous dealers from taking undue advantage of the crisis by raising the price of hay beyond the reach of the poorer classes. The government crop report suege?ts a corn yield of about LSTS.OOO.OOO bushel?, against an estimate of 2,0:.0.000 000 bushels In July. This loss of 472.OO0.0im) bushels, as the result of drought and parching winds, reduces the probable yield 141.000.oOO bushels lelow the actual crop of last year, and takes into no consideration the damage by heat since the beginning of the present month. Mark those hives that are weak in numbers, and substitute their queens at the earliest opportunity. None but go.xl layers should be kept over. Honey has not escaped the tariff reformers. Surely, beekeepers ought to be alive to their own interests, and not succumb to a Ioliey that will put the beekeeper of Cuba and South America on an equal footing with those of the United States. Among the Poultry. Poultry seldom tires of milk. Rave your millet-seed far feeding young chickens. Keep all hens that moult early. ..They will be the first to lay. In raising early broilers for market a good incubator and brooder is necessary. Red pepier is a temporary stimulant and increases the appetite for a short time only. Nothing will more effectually prevent a hen from laying than an exclusive diet of cornmeal. The early hatched pullets may be kept for laying, but for breeding a sufficient number of old hens should be kept. It is usual for some breeds to moult lighter each year, and what may be supposed defects are only natural to the breed. Whenever fowls lay soft eggs give them plenty of lime and green food. A variety of food is essential to health and thrift. If ducks are hatched out late, good care should be taken to secure a vigorous, thrifty growth before cold weather sets in. Wheat and buckwheat are considered the best grains for eggs. Barley and oats are the best to induce a good growth and development of bone and muscle. At this time see that the turkeys come home regularly at night. The best way to bring them is by feeding a liberal ration of whole corn every night, all they can eat up clean. One of the greatest troubles in feed ing poor grains is not in the loss as compared with good grains, but In the fact that overheated or musty grain causes many diseases. When fattening a turkey do not keep it confined more than a week or ten dajs or it will lose flesh. Turkeys are too restless when deprived of their liberty and often refuse to eat. The only way to dry-pick chickens or turkeys Is to pick them as soon as they are killed, while the body ls still warm. If the picking begins as soon: as the fowl is killed the feathers come out easily and rapidly. On the farm where a variety of fowls is kept it is not good economy to winter over too many. Poultry requires good feed and care. A small number given good 'treatment will pay better than a large number given less attention. Do Women Know That the pulp of a lemon rubbed on the roots of the hair will stop ordinary case of falling out. That rain water and white eastile soap In a lukewarm suds is the best mixture in which to wash embroideries. That corks may be made air and water tight by keeping them for five minutes entirely immersed in melted paraffin. That it is a good thing during the hot humid weather of dog days to keep a box of lime In the kitchen pantry as a purifier. That articles of old furniture are sometimes made to appear new by washing them with lime waterand then applying a coat of oil. That It 13 said freckles may be remov ed by putting an ounce each of alum and lemon juice into a pint of rosewater and applying It at night. That hair dye ls considered so detrimental to a long life that a Paris insur ance company refuse to Insure the lives of women who use it. That the fashionable boot and shoe ls made in a pointed last, with a straight tip. Because of the movement of the toe all shoes are worn one size larger than usual. That a raw egg swallowed Immediately will generally carry a fish bone down that cannot be removed from the throat by the utmost exertion, and has got out of the reach of the saving finger. That Russia brown leather may best be treated with ordinary saddle soap, and this Is the method which 1 recommended. Sponge off the dust, rinse out the sponge in clear water, and squeeze It nearly dry. Then polish with a chamois either with or without the addition of a little Meltonian cream. That lime water ls an Important factor in the nursery, and no mother would neglect its use if she realized its effect on the bones and teeth of growing children. Wrhen placed in milk it adds a sweeter flavor if no more than a teaspoonful ls used to a tumblerful of milk. It may also be used for indigestion. Iteclpes. Plektol Cauliflowers Cook the cauliflower till tender; put it in Jars; then pour vinegar and ground mustard, previously sdalded together, over them.

Then strain and bottle. Kate's Lily Pickle Chop one gallon of green tomatoes; sprinkle salt over them, and let them lie twenty-four hours; drain off the liquor and throw it away; then add twelve onions chopped, six green pcpjxTs, three quarts chopped cabbage, one-half pint grated horseradish, one-half pint white mustard seed, black pepier, cloves, etc., to taste. Put vinegar to this and cork tight. Pear Marmalade. A very excellent marmalade may be made with pears, to use in making tartlets. Boil six goodsized pears to a pulp; weigh them; take half their weight of sugar, put it into a saucepan with a very little water; boil it and skim it whi'.e boiling. When boiled to a crack, add the pulp of the peara and give it a boil; and add about four drops of essence of cloves; when it is cold it is ready for use. To Pickle Hipe Tomatoes Take them when thoroughly ripe. Do not prick them as many recipe tell you. Let them lie In strong brine three or four days; put them down in fawers, in jars, mixing with them small onions and pievs of horse-radish; pour on them cold, spiced vinegar; let there be a sin. ill spice-bag to put into every pot; over them carefully and let them sot a whole month before using. Mangoes of Melons Take green melons, and make a brine strong enough to bear up an eg; then pour it. boiling hot, on the melons, keeping them under the 'brine; then let them stolid live or six days; then slit them down on one side; take out all the seeds, scrape them well in the inside, and wash th- m clean; then take cloves, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and pepper, put all these proportionally into the melons, filling them up wüh mustard seed; then lay them into an earthen pot, and take one part of mustard seed and two parts of vinegar, enough to cover them, pouring it on scalding hot. Keep them closely covered. Apple Pie One-fourth pound puff pasne, two pounds appl.-s, six ounoc.i sugar, six doves, the rind of a; lemon, finely minced; a little nutmeg, a blado of mase. Approximate cost, CO cent". I "are and core th. apples, cut them in thin hlices, and lay part of them in a pie-dish, sprinkling over them the sugar, cloves-, lemon rind and nutmeg; put in another layer of apples.

String Bean Salad a la Parisian. String the beans carefully, boil them without breaking. When quite tender and cold cut each bean lengthwise into four long slices. An hour or two befora serving season the sliced beans with three teaspoonfuls of vinegar to one of oil and a little pepper and salt. When ready to serve drain from the beans any superfluous liquid that may have collected and toss them lightly through a French dressing made of one tablespoonful of vinegar, three of pure oil, half a saltspoonful of pepper and a saltspoonful of salt. Rub the salad bowl with onion If desired at all. Pour the oil mixed with the pepper and salt over the beans, when thoroughly amalgamated add the vinegar and mix again. Lino a salad bowl with crisp lettuce leaves and turn in mixture.

In the meantime b?at the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, stir in the rest of tne powdered sugar with a wooden spoor, spread it on the top of the custard, put it in the oven and let it bake a light straw color. Lettuce Sandwich Select large, fiat leaves of the lettuce, put a layer of leaves, spread with prepared mustard or horse radish on a thinly buttered slice of bread. Cover with lettuce leaves, then lay on another slice of bread. Trim neatly and serve on a bed of mustard and lettuce. If vegetable sandwiches are prepared for a picnic it is best to carry the lettuce, nasturtium leaves ileed cucumbers in a damp cloth and tic ice, if possible. The mayonnaise to .-...-ead the leaves should also be carried In a Jelly glass in a cool place. The sandwiches can then be put together Just before they are used and will be crisp and cool. The bread used for them should be at least twenty-four hours old, and is better if thirty-six to forty-eight. Cut off the crust evenly with a sharp knife from the entire loaf if you are going to make a large number. Deviled Tomatoes Deviled tomatoes are one of the excellent r.ew and simple dishes that may be cooked in the chafing dish. In preparing them you will need two tablespoonfuls of butter, on teaspoonful of mustard, one raw egg, two tablespoonfuls of hot vinegar, one? level teaspoonful of powdered sugar, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper to every three tomatoes. .Select tomatoes that are large, ripe and firm, pour over them enough boiling water to loosen the skins, peel, cut in thick slices and set in the Ice-box. The sauce may be served hot or cold. It ls best cold. In combining it, cream the butter, add to It the powdered sugar, the mustard, which may be dry or "made mustard," and mix well. Add the salt and pepper and rub into the mixture the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. For this use a little sieve. Heat your vinegar, then add that, and finally a beaten raw egg. Set over hot water and cook until the consistencey of a thick cream. If it cooks too rapidly the sauce will become too thick. To prevent this lift from the fire several times while pooknlg and stir constantly to make It smooth. Set aside to cool. When ready to use put a tablespoonful of butUr in the chafing dish, add the slices of tomato, and, when hot, serve from dish. Pass the sauce. If cooked in the kitchen1, send to the table on a garnished dish and turn the sauce over them. N. Y. Lvennlg Post. Dr. Price's Cream Dakinj Powder World's Fair Hiebest Medal an Diploma, .

There is one bit of furniture no bedroom should want for to wit, the tabouret. The little footstool, Indispensable In Its way, will not fill the place of this more sufficient "rest" for "bate-out underpinnings," to use the "washer lady's" euphemism. Amply supporting wry legs, the tabouret, together with an easy chair, furnishes a delight substitute for the couch whn resting and reading are to be combined. Physicians all agree that a woman fluuld as much as rraxtleablo keep her legs on a level with the rest of her body. An occasional indulg?ne3 in that mannish trick of placing them even higher would help amazingly toward doing away with those tired feelings and that dragged sensation. Fashionable women, to v.iism- the necessity of never showing fatigue and of over looking their "bet" has taught the nack of acquiring a maximum of rest In a minimum of time, are fast falling Into masculine habits of posture when In the seclusion of bedroom or boudoir. This era of exercise gives them their cue. They learn on the tennis court or in the "swagger" gymnastic class how entirely restorative it is to lounge and loll about. On the other hand, In the less leisured clas3, there is a regretable proportion of women who, soundly intelligent In the main, cling to old-fashioned and mistaken notions of decorum. These estimable women could not by any Inducement be made to give their aching limbs a little healthful liberty and relaxation. They do not realize, or In their old fogylsm they choose to ignore, the fact that the muscular and In turn nervous system thrives quite as surely on a variety of altitudes and motions as des the stomach on a catholic diet or one's spirits on the spice of life. Those women who preserve the "bolt upright" on all ocasions when not actually in bed need not hope to retain into middle life youth's most alluring charm plasticity. Muscles kept over on the stretch must lose their elasticity ere very long. There is, it is true, a sort of automatic springiness that some ever active women carry with them Into extreme and extremely graceless old age. These metallic Jerks and starts hold about the same relation to the easy buoyancy of youth that the dance of the grasshopper bears to the soft lltheness of a pretty Angora. I have in mind one young matron and mother -an acknowledged beauty whose health keeps pace with her looks. Not so long ago a careless maiden literally on the eve of her marriage, she scandalized the proper folks of a certain New England village by kicking football on the green lawns of her future country home. Sensible girl, she ls now happy In tha possession of a physical foundation equal to the social and domestic burdens that send half our society women to untimely graves. Women may or may not about as they choose keep at bay the dreaded heart. failure. To go back to the innocent cause of this plea for more limb room, I want to say of the tabouret that It may become a most picturesque and important part of the mlae en scene of those hours of studied deshabille when a pretty woman, prettier than ever In a flowing tea gown, receives, half reclining, her Intimates only. In a winter room, furnished In mahogany and tapestrylike portieres, the tabouret Is effectively upholstered In oldfashioned worsted filled canvas, which seems, if not In reality, to owe its gay pattern to the patient fingers of some passed away kinswoman. Something cool lntexture should cushion the tabouret for summer India silk.linen or denim, or, best of all, a square of lovely matting. The Japanese matting a combination of cotton and swamp grass, deliclously dyed ls finely woven and reversible, and therefore extremely durable. Mrs. Marlanna F. McCann In St. Louis Republic. The Itonrdlnsr Hoane Ml treu. Mrs. Emma Ewlng, the principal of the Chautauqua school of cookery, seems to think that women do not appreciate the chances for making money there are In keeping boarders. She says keepers of boarding-houses should make more money than a majority of men make at the respective occupations in which they are engaged. The trouble Is In "many cases that a woman Is left to earn her living and reluctantly decides on opening a boarding-house as the most likely way, without any special training or aptitude for the business. Very likely she does not know one piece of meat from another and is not herself an especially good cook. No one thinks of fitting herself to keep a boarding-house, but ÄIrs. Kwlng'a experience should quafefy her to make

the statement that there is money In the business If a woman has energy, Intelligence, and will take pains to qualify herself for the position. There is a growing Interest every day In the subject of good, nutritious woll-cooked food, and old housekeepers are finding out that there is a right way and a wrong way for even such a prosaic action as the washing of a brc-fid pan or of dishes in which eggs have )een cooked. Kir th must part women of intelli- ; genre and ability shrink from the cares of a boarding-house as the most unpleasant kind of employment, and yet ju.st these won. en are needed to keep firstclass establishments. As far as the city goes there seem to ht? two extremes, the boarding'-house mist res who knows nothing of marketing, does not understand what she can afford and depends too much on servants, with the inevitable result of losing money and closing up the buslne?s, or the opposite kind of a mistress, shrewd and caKulating, who tries to make money too fast by not fvrving as great a variety or as mucJi as she should for the price charged. ! An exception to this rule is sure to be a great success, wi.'h more demands for meals than the di nine-room will accommodate. There is hardly a. blor-k in the city whore there is not a chance for a first-class boarding-hou.-e. Tenrlilns; Children It I, tit Conduct. Either prevailing theory is egregious') wrong or else much of present practice, measured by ihal theory, may be fairly termed barbarous in its complete disregard of scientific principle. If th-?r is one thing in theory upon which all schools are agreed, It Is that conduct is not moral except as its motive is pure except, that ls, as free from reference to personal feer of punishment and hepe of reward. The intuitionnlist insists that duty must be done for duty's sake; the empiricist, that wnile continences m ike thiSmoral criterion yet the agent is truly moralized only in so far as his motive is regard for the consequences which follow intrinsically from the act itself. And yet the main motive actually appealed to is the desire to avoid either actual punishment, whether from Uod or from one's jKtrents, or else the reflex into oneself of their displeasure In the way of being grieved or hurt. The lat motive appealed to, it would seem, is that connected "with the act itself. Enlightenment as' to the true nature of the act performed, irrespective of the source of Its imposition, irrespective of the favor or disfavor which the act will arouse from others (save, of course. In so far as that disfavor or favor is, through the social structure, one of the intrinsic constituents of the act) and the development of interests in that act for Us own sake seem to be the last things aimed at. From "The Chaos in Moral Training by Prof. John Dewey In Popular Science Monthly. The Tnlent of Effective rrelng. It is a "gift beyond compare" for a girl to have the talent of gowning herself effectively without an unwise expenditure of money for too costly fabrics or of time and energy in designing and completing her raiment. It Is an undeniable fact that clothes are almost a3 important to a woman's happiness and have almost as great an Influence on her future as her personal attributes. While, however. It is impossible for a womanly woman not to care for her outward appearance, and although the feminine toilet, viewed in every detail, gives a tolerably clear an.1 trustworthy Idea of the werer's refinement or the lack of it, excels in the matter ' of personal adornment Is ni re reprehensible morally and almost as unattrative as slovenliness or want of proper pride. Both faults testify to obliquity of character. It would be amusing if it were not sad to study a vain woman when arrayed in gowns and bonnets that give evidence of an excessive expenditure and exertion. Her suppressed restlessness, her evident fear that some one will miss the fine effect of her display and her conscious and continual arrangement of hair, drapery and ornaments all betray such weakness as is pitiful to witness. On the other hand, a carelessly and unbecomlngly dressed woman shocks our sense of litm-ss and creates a feeling almost of repulsion. A graceful woman in a beautiful gown, with absolute unconsciousness. Is a "thing of beauty and a Joy forever." X. Y. Tribune. How to Steam the Face. Have the teakettle boiling for you at a certain hour. Take a newspip?r, fold down the middle. p!n two of she end.- behind and put It over your head like :t Lig hood, letting It come well over your face Iii front. Rub your face thoroughly with any good cold cream, sit down by the kitchen range, your paper bag over your )-.iai and your nose as close to the spout of the boiling kettle as you dare to. Don't tempt fate too far, or you may burn your face. Keep turning first one chock and then, the other, so that all paits of the face may be steamed equaMy. Keep this up for fifteen or twenty minute or until you have perspired freely.

At a large affair the thing is permissible, though a trifle snobbish; at a small one where people are supposed to entirely mix both the friend and the rest of the party have a perfect right to feel insulted, and not the sanction of a princess could redeem the act. A princess wouldn't do it, though, from observation shows that the "thoroughbreds" have usually far less fear of introducing acquaintances than those who are on the social anxious seat, a fact which calls for Capt.

A bed cover made of heavy white linen sheeting, hemstitched all around, and etched in a conventional design with blue linen floss, with a fringe on either bedside of blue and white floss, simply knotted in, would make a bedsprtwd in every .way desirable for n blue and white room.
