Perhaps the home cook has remained aa amateur at such work because the word bartender wee in eucb bad repute always, yet those mixers of beverages developed aa enormous technique and a considerable part of it wqs esthetic. Another part was good, sanitary housekeeping.

This is more necessary the dash of something strong la not available, but good barkeepers thought such care necessary in tbs old days. Preaches Sanitation First. is It' said that ths old bartender- manuals are now becoming scarce end expensive, although they were ail but thrown away almost the other day. One Harry Johnson was perhaps the dean of that now obsolete profession which is now but a record. Hie manual is really a book of commercial and sanitary etiquette on mixing and serving drinks and contains no end of descriptions of whet we might call good cooking practices, since concocting beverage is a sort of cooktng. H. J. lost 8100,000 in tha Chicago firs of 1871, and his career in different cities of the worid was notable. In a tourney ef skill he won the championship of ths United States against " five of ths most popular and scientific bartenders of the day." TO -- o DEVICES THAT SAVE SPACE. the email apartment, where every Of apace must carve to the advantage, only thoee piecea are useful aa well aa beautiful should be considered. Built-ior permanent furniture is usually aa asset to the small apartment Take, for example, built-ibookcases of simple lines which take Up n o. rosm at all and still furnishpace, as well as an attractive setting for numerous books; by their use the .living room may serve also as a library. In an attractive three room apartment on the lake shore there is a triple set of casement windows overlooking the lake, rilling the wall space at either side of the windows are double bookcases. Between these, level with the window sill, is a built-iseat, which has a boxed cushion fitted to the top. This is covered with old blue rep, with supplementary cushions of flowered chintz. There is a chest under the seat, which is accessible through the hinged top. All of the woodwork is painted old ivory, and the walls are covered with two toned ecru paper. The two day beds, which are placed at opposite sides of the room, have old blue repcovera with chintz cushions, and the arm chair is upholstered in chintz. A gate legged table, two Windsor chairs, and a smoking stand are painted old blue, with trimmings of old ivory. The window curtains are cloth. In the corners of the dining room, flanking a window, china closets with triangular backs are set in. Panelled wooden doors inclose the lower part, where linens are kept, and glass doors the space above, which accommodates the china. China closets like these may be bought ready made, and set up in any dining room. A painted set matches the corn colored wood work. The insides of the china closets and the trims and edgings of the furniture are painted spring green. The same colors are used in the adjoining kitchenette. In the small bedroom there is a built-in- . dressing table with swinging mirrors at each side of the central mirror. Three drawers and trays, behind little doors, are set in above a knee hole space, where the dressing stool is kept when not In use. All of the woodwork, including the dressing table, is painted mauve, to match the double bed, writing desk, chair, and woodwork Of the upholstered rocker. The walls are French gray, and the window hangings are of turquoise blue. The rocker is covered with flowered chintz, in a combination of mauve, turquoise, and rust color, on a French gray ground. IK n n He Might Hs Been Worse. A man suspected of being insane was observed by his keeper wheeling a wheelbarrow around the grounds up-sid- e down. "My good man." said the keeper, " why don't you turn your wheelbarrow right side up? " " Do you think I'm erasy? " was the reply. " If I do that theyll fill It with bricks and make ms wheel them.

Tet the other residents, awed by bis dignity, bis prominence, and his ostentatiously puritanical views, have never dared allow their belief to pass the whispering stage. But they, have watched and wandered, in the hope that they might some day know the truth. The other day be cants home on the noon train. True to tradition, half the inhabitants were loitering about the 'station when he alighted. Solemnly, apparently hardly noticing the common lot, he started for his homo with ths usual package under tUs arm. Hs stepped on some ice, slipped, and before be could regain, his balance bad t dropped th bundle. With a crash tt struck tha sidewalk. A heavenly odor filled tha air. And tha liquor flowed. It was a desperate moment. But the owner of the bottle retained bis composure. ' Mournfully hs looked tt tha liquid. - Then in a voice expected to win thesympathy of the spectators, too bad.

Duplicates of this may be bought for the amazingly moderate sum of $25! Motifs of flowers, copied from the chintz, are painted on the head and foot boards of the bed, back of the desk chair, and front and drawers of the desk and dressing table. A long mirror is hung on the inside of the closet door. The carpet t , dee p gra y Lighting fixtures in apartments are apt to be vexatious. A delightful and inexpensive way to disguise an unsatisfactory fixture is to cover it with an enveloping shade of shirred silk, parchment, or a combination of both. In the dining room Illustrated a parch-msshade partially conceals the lighting fixtures. The parchment is stained jade green, and bands of opaque black are painted around the top and bottom. The bird and foliage are done in tones of mulberry, lemon, and green. The woodwork (including the outside of the little built in china closets), with the exception of the window sill and lower ledge of the wall cabinet, is painted jade green. The sill and ledge are black, as is the floor. The Inside of the china closets is wistaria, and the china is deep lemon. The furniture is painted black, with the seats of the chairs and table top jade green. The floor covering is deep mulberry, with lines of black. It is a pitiable fact that we cannot always remove the plate rail which is still found in many apartment dining rooms. In an apartment where the landlord recently refused to allow the plate rail to be torn out an excellent effect is obtained in this way: The woodwork up to and including the rail was enameled in ivory, and the space between the rail and the celling was paneled with narrow wooden moldinga The entire upper wall space was then calcimined ivory. This m&de an background for the mahogany suite, which included a console table, an extension drop leaf table, and five chairs. The window curtains were of striped material in peacock blue, plum color, and old gold, with a hair line of black. The same material was used for the chair neats. The ecru rush rug was oval in shape, and a decorative floral painting in an oval frame hung above the console table. The hand embroidered linen table cover' with its drawn-worwhich looks like Insets of Italian filet lace, was imported from Japan. It Is a practical thing because it washes easily and beautifully, and, while It is as attractive aa the Italian hand made as pieces, costs only about much, as it can be had for $25. The cover ie of soft ivory shade and is effec--Uv- e about 80x70 inches. The six Inch hem Is hemstitched, and the center is well and covered with -- fine embroidery drawnwork. A piece of the same slxe and quality would cost approximately 8150 in Italian work- Closet apace Is almost sure to be limited in the small apartment. The closets usually only bavs about four hooks, end tenants are at a loss to know where to hang their fluffy clothes which eaflnor be packedsway-I- n drawers and still retain their airiness. Under such conditions, a space saving fixture is a true Godsend. There is a certain firm that makes collapsible rods to accomodate bangers. These may be fastened to the under sides of the shelves or to the eelllng of wardrobe closets. They are made in various lengths, to suit any They definitely space ' depth of closet. the hangers so the clothes are kept an even distance from each other. The whole arrangement may be pulled out of the closet, into broad daylight, by means of fiber rollers, without remov-inany of the clothes. These fixtures can be had at a moderate cost, and come ready to be installed. And a screw driver is he only tool necessary to complete the installation. A living room in a small apartment, which functions as a bedroom as well, is most cleverly end pleasantly arranged. The light henna colored day-be- d is set lengthwise against the longest wall space. The box springs are covered with cretonne which extends in a ruffled valance over the sides, clearing the floor about two inches. There is a pair of black bolster pillows at each end. Another, square, covered with cretonne, two flat, round ones of blue, and one of mauve are piled on the bed against the wall. On the wall space above is hung a mirror in a jade green frame. In one corner of the room there is a mahogany desk, with a email lamp which has a shade of tha same mauve "colored silk used to cover one of the cushions. The Windsor chair used in conjunction with the desk has a Jade green seat cushion. There are two windows at one end of the room. These have drapes and valances of cretonne which match the daybed cover. The glass curtains are of pals henna colored silk gauze. Between these two windows Is a round drop leaf table, painted old blue. In another corner of the room, beside a window, there is a wing chair upholstered In cretonne. Another chair is dons in old blue rep. The walls are painted ecru to match the background of cretonne, and the g woodwork is of old ivory. The floor is painted a deep taupe, and the rug la a slightly lighter shade of the same color. one-sixt- h what my wlfo will do for soapsuds tomorrow." And then it happened.
