In the matter of cretonnes there is also a large selection in numerous pretty colours. Particularly ap- pealing are the new shadow tissues with more pronounced designs than previously. The printed finen cretonnes are also pretty with many beautiful colourful designs which gain because of their artistic com- bination of tints,
The "ChintzeS" are also lovely, This strong, long wearing material can be used for both curtains and covers for chairs, etc. Then there are the silk tissues in conventiona), flower and bird designs which would [look well in any room in the house;

LIKE A NICE CLUB
Mataichi Muranashi, on return- ing to Japan from an 18 months' sojourn in Sing Sing on a charge of abbetting the violation of the United States immigration laws, had some very pleasant impres sions of his prison life in America upon his arrival in Yokohama, says the "Japan Advertiser." Smiling pleasantly he said:"American prison fe seemned to me like a school boarding house in Japan or perhaps a nice club. Everything is entirely different from Japan and prisoners are comparatively free Good and enjoy much leisure, European meals are served and one has plenty of time for the gymna sium and for reading, while once a week we were given motion picture [shows. My experience showed me that prison life in America is not worse
than the life enjoyed by Japanese students sent abroad by the Government.
