Sellecting the Proper Sort of Furniture—Facts About Colors. To furnish a house comfortably. ar- tistically and durably neces: spending some money, but most of all it requires study, forethought and handicraft. If you are to furnish a house completely, it is best to work out a plan room by room. First de- cide on a keynote in spirit and in color for the whole house and then try to carry out that note in every room. Simplicity, individuality, com- fort and artistic distinction are the qualities that you will wish to ex- press in your home, and that you can express by planninz every detail of your furnishings with that end in view. If planning to furnish only a part of your home, follow the same prin- ciple, seeking always to unite the scheme of the newly decorated rooms with that of the rest of the house, o as to achieve a harmonious whole Having planned the color scheme of ithe whole house, decide next on the colo r scheme of each room. The fol- lowing table of colors and of the ef- fect that they produce will be help- ful: Red—Warmth, stimulation. Blue—Coolness, quictness. 5 Yellow—Cheer, brightness, an in- crease in the apparent size of a room. Light Green—Cheerfulness. Dark Green—Repose. Gray—Natural effect. Lavender—Irritation when used in quantity, hence it is seldom used in interior decorating. Light colors are more stimulating than dark colors, but dark colors lend more dignity to a room. They also make it look smaller. A room with dark walls_requires more artificial light than the same room would re- quire if the walls were light colored For the Walls. For your walls you have the choice of calcimining, papering or painting If you must do the work yourself, you will find that papering ‘is the most difficult. Wallpaper of a neutral shade, either plain or with a sub- dued figure, is in better taste than a bright-colored paper with large figures. Remember that the wall is only a background for pictures, furni- ture and draperies, and therefore. should not attract attention to itself. For calcimining, buy the dry colors. ground and blend them to the tint that you want, or ask your paint It’s minus the chaff O YOU who love good coffee ‘When we remove this worthless bitter chaff by the perfected Boscul method we make it possible for you to obtain the highest coffee value:for your money and the most delicious beverage . you ever In Boscul you get a skillfully. bal- anced combination of high-grade coffees blended by experts of reputation and long experience, and you get only the best part of the berry—a coffee of unusual richness and tempting flavor; strong, mot bitter, absolutely healthful and with true sus- taining power for body and brain. To know the surpassing joy-blend among good coffees ask your grocer for In tins and sealed cartons only. dealer to do it for you. It is well to test a sample of your mixture on some obscure corner of the wall and to let it dry so that you can see ex- actly how it will look. It is also well to mix a sufficient quantity of the paint at the beginning, since it is often difficult to reproduce the exact tint in a second making. 1f you wish to tint your walls, there are specially prepared mixtures that can be applied without much difficulty. Plain window hangings and draper- ies go best with figured wallpapers and figured draperies with plain wall coverings. If the wall is to be deco- rated with paper only, a pronounced figure may be used, but if pictures are to be hung on it, the paper should be perfectly plain, or the figure so unobtrusive that it will not detract from the charm of the pictures. Of course, the character of the pictures makes some difference. Delicate etch- ings or paintings in soft colors should have quiet and reserved backgrounds, but more vigorous compositions or paintings with strong contrasts of color will stand more prominent backgrounds. The pictures are the important thing; the wall surface should be treated in such a manner as to set them off to the best possi- ble advantage. Elaborate frames are not desir- able for photographs or pictures Frames should always be simple, and should aim to enhance the beauty of the photograph, never to draw atten- tion away from it. Frames with florid designs, with deep cuttings and burnished metal, those made of birch bark ornamented with drawings; of worked worsted or hand-painted flow- Berry open by Boseul process. o = ‘Worthleas chaff, Which we raject. ::,w il [ i mmi ers or landacapes are mot likely to be successful, because they draw the attention away from the picture. When you choose pictures, test each one as to its suitability in_the room for which vou intend it. It is easy today to buy copies of famous pic- tures, either in colors or in black and white, at a reasonable price. Pictures that are noble in thought and artis- tic in treatment are always inspiring and refreshing. The Hangings. Coarse scrim. fine cheesecloth, un- bleached muslin, denim, cotton’ and silk mixtures are inexpensive ma- terials that make pretty hangings for windows and doors. The laws of sanitation urge that all draperies and floor coverings shall be easily removed and cleaned. If you have carpets that you must utilize, send them to the carpet factory to be made into rugs. If a floor is in a very poor condition cover it with linoleum. A concave molding nailed along the baseboard, with fillers in the corners, will save hours of cleaning. ‘When choosing furniture try to ex- HOME ECONOMICS. BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. Winter Salad. Even in winter salad is a desirable part of a meal. After a hot meat course, a cool, green salad, if only lettuce, with a good dressing and cheese and crisp crackers. is to many people more attractive than a dessert, and certainly a welcome predecessor to it. Olive oi) or its excellent substitutes may be used. in French dressing or in mayonnaise. A’ new recipe for may- onnaise calls for the use of one whole egg instead of the yolks of two, often a convenient economy. It is made in the same way as the old mayonnaise recipe. Beat the egg thoroughly with a dover egg beater, add a teaspoonful of salt and one of mustard, beating constantly. Add a cupful of oil and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice or vinegar, or one of each, alternately and gradually, beating steadily. If olive oil is not available, cream may be whipped, with salt and lemon juice, to make an excellent dressing. though it is not very stiff_ Winter salads must, of course, de- pend on nuts, canned vegetables and fruits for variety, but with a little thought and care in having the in- gredients firm and trimly prepared, one may have salad of peas, or beets or shredded cabbage, or chopped cel- ery, or grape fruit or apples. Lettuce is now available the year round, and for health reasons, even if it is a little dear, we should make it a point to have it often during the months when fresh fruit and green things are not to be had. One head of lettuce gives a good touch to a meal and is well worth what it costs.

The rooms on the second floor should be planned with a view to making each a part of a harmonious whole. Those on the first floor should be grouped, but each room should be designed to conform to its use and purpose. If you know little about furniture, be especially careful to examine ‘the best types before you buy. Notice that most good designs | are extremely simple, and that their | beauty depends upon proportion and delicacy of contour rather than upon heavy machine carvings of filigree work. Bric-a-brac is a term that describes any small articles of decoration that have little utility and exist mainly for their supposed beauty. The charm of a room is more often déstroyed by ill-chosen bric-a-brac than by any other thing. The room would be more attractive if most of it were removed. The effect of many orna- ments is to litter a room and give it a confused and fussy appearance. Good taste is_almost synonymous | with simplicity. The mind is unable to | appreciate any one thing when it is| distracted by a multitude of thin The presence of many articles of bric abrac does not indicate taste on the part of the owner, but the reverse. A | person of good taste selects orna- mnts with the greatest care and per- | mits only a few to be seen at one | time, and then with due regard to| their environment. It is a good rule always to select your bric-a-brac with reference to its surrounding Most of us buy an object and then try | to find a place for it, whereas we, should buy it to harmonize with the wall paver, carpet, paint or furniture | in the room where it is to go. This| is the only way vou can be sure of its harmonizing with other things. Be- | fore buying bric-a-brac for rooms ask yourself two questions: How much will it add, to the character of the room, and how much will it add to | the work of housekeeping? Remem- ber the Japanese idea, which repre- sents a_high_type of artistic decora- tion. The Japanese have only the | necessary furniture and one or two ornaments in a room: all other ob- | jects of art they keep in a chest. from | which they take them one by one as | they grow temporarily tired of those that are in view. Remember that every room should have unity of col- or, style and character, and that any bric-a-brac that disturbs this unity by its profusion or color is a mistake. The test of success in furnishing a | room is that it gives a sense of quiet and repose. The ornaments it con- tains ought to fall naturally into the general scheme, and not distract the It Takes a Woman te Understand a Woman’s Iliness Dr. Della Ledendecker || New York's finest womaa chiropractor has moved here and is located at 926 15th St. NW,, Cor.
