PASSfNG OR THE PARLOR.
Tlie Apartment of btate Giving Way to
: the Living Room.
And ; is It true? Is the parlor
doomed? Must it give way to the'
living room? That apartment can
not make good the loss of the other.
Who does not remember the darkened
glories of the old-fashioned parlor;
which was seen at its best ifn the
middle-sized town, village and coun
try ? Shut up the week v through,
sometimes nearly the year through,
with blinds closed tight and lace cur
tains tied primly back;; with its haircloth-seated
chairs set in a line against
the wall; a "rocker" ready to gallop
in one corner, and a what-not in the
other, ornamented with rice baskets,
praying Samuels and family daguer
reotypes and photographs ;, a centre
table, set exactly in the middle of the
room, with a few handsome books and
the large family Bible, the mantel
piece with vases filled with crystal
lized grasses at either end, and odds
of strange things fitting ; up the rest
of the space; who among the elder gen
eration does not know it well? It was
a room to be venerated.
And now one sadly recognizes it
to be, indeed, a thing of the past. In
stead, there Is the living room, that
actually is a living room, where the
baby's perambulator stands near the
piano, where the work basket is on a
convenient table (no one ever saw a
work basket in a parlor) f where there
are plants, a writing desk; where 'the
sun pours in as much as it may. It
Is indeed a living room. If one has
space there is a reception room, to be
snre; but every one understands that
amounts to little the caller and the
friend are shown Into the living room.
To a person used to a parlor, no mat
ter how long ago, a call in a living
room hardly seems like the solemn
function it used to be. Springfield

Alt Sorts of Sofa Pillows. .
The sofa -pillow has a wider lati
tude, perhaps, in the household than
almost any other furnishing." It con
tributes to the general comfort, fills
up all sojrts of hollows in chairs, sofas
and seats, gives just the right touches
of color to corners otherwise sombre,
and brings into harmony warlike sur
roundings. The revival of ribbon
work is making possible especially ex
quisite effects on satins. A pillow
just finished is made cf white satin,
embroidered with ribbon In a Dres
den design. It is finished with a broad
white satin ruffle, on which the deli
cate colors of the floral pattern are re
peated in frilled rows of the tiny rib
bon. Only on drawing-room pillows
now are ruffles often seen. Others
are left plain on the edges, have their
corners drawn in, are finished with
cord br have pompoms at the corners.
Pompons are also used in more orna
mental kinds.
There are fabrics of every sort and
to fit every kind of a need and purse
in pillow coverings. Cottons and lin
ens always find fayor for bedrooms
and other places where it is desiraMe
to wash7 them occasionally.' and for
these nothing- can be better suited
than the printed chintz, with its dainty,,
and quaint patterns. New York

"One would naturally think that our
business at this time of year would be
at its best, but it isn't," said a tobac
conist yesterday. "Our cigar, trade al
ways falls off in bad weather, especial
ly, when the bad weather is accompan
ied by high winds Even habitual
smokers don't enjoy a cigar in the open
air when the wind is blowing. Just
take note of the number of men you
see smoking on the street some calm,
clear day, and then note the difference
a day like this. You will see that it
has quite - an effect upon our business.'
Our receipts are much higher in sum
mer than in winter, just because of
this. It's all well enough to picture a
man smoking before a cosy fireside,
but there are lots of men who have
cranky wives, and who seldom smoke
In the house. During the summer they
can do their smoking out of doors with
a full measure of enjoyment. ,Yes;v
summer is the best time for us." ;
