THE EVENING FURNISHING THE HOME does not conform to our tastes it will not remain long in our homes. If we have bought pleces that are out of proportion to our means, then we will probably not be able to keep them long either. If the furniture is not comfortable we will wriggle and twist in an effort to make ourselves comfortable, and by so doing will give unnecessary strain to the furniture and ald in pull- ing it to pleces. But more important than any of these considerations is the matter of structure, materials used and workmanship, all of which will be discussed in a later article. ‘The last item we must bear in mind when selecting our furniture is that it should be good to look upon. In any furniture that we select we will always do well to purchase pieces that are simple and honest in line. All pleces with unnecessary curves and trimmings are but “gilding the lily.” The market is flooded with upholstered pleces that have great bulging arms and backs that have twice the amount of stuffing that is necessary for real comfort. Breaks Up Lines, The lines of many upholstered pieces are further cut up and distorted by the use of two and sometimes even three different materials, each one of which in calling attention to itself breaks up the lines of the pieces. So many of them are decorated with tassels and fancy braids which, of course, are absolutely unnecessary and only cause trouble and additional expense to the owner. It is far more satisfactory to order vour upholstered pieces covered in the materials that you select than to buy those which are already covered and || u can take or as well as the texture important coverings so ¢ith your color schemes to the best possible advantage.
