If the plants were not on it, we cans, evened off at the top, may be lacquered and decorated with bright- ly colored conventional designs; or regulation flower pots may be painted and left without any decorations. If these pots are plain, make each ¢ne a different color. The plants should be in smaller, ordinary pots inside the painted ones.

Space forbids, but the- ideas mbined with beauty. (Copyright, which in itself must be comfort, but mot that alone. We find that another lelement is essential, and that is an ar- | tistic spirit. There is little danger of | cold and forbidding, if artistic, decora- tion if the homemaker who is respons- | ible for the success of the treatment o! rooms, has a sense of beauty as well as | 'a warm heart. It will be apparent from | fthis that it takes more than a mere ability to pick out fine furniture, grace- | ful in line and form, and other furnish- | so correspondingly attractive, to give the atmosphere of comfort, so es- sentially a part of the true home. Comfort, coupled with artistry, can e found in the choice of furniture from | the viewpoint of the former as well as the latter necessity. The sewing chair, | for instance shohld have arms that are very short, so also should the chair in which the mother sits usually when she tends her baby. It is diffilult to sew for to tend a baby in a real armchair, for the arms are very much in the way. Mothers will appreciate the comfort of the chair with short arms, and every woman who sews realizes the advantages (of short arms on the sewing chair. It '‘may be added that the chair minus jarms lacks the comfort found in the one with them, and the short arms may add grace to comfort. Chairs with very deep seats do mnot fack in artistry when the arms stop ‘short of the edge of the scats. Th2 Juxurious chairs, with deep springs and | tirely overstuffed, that are sometimes ed “English sleeping chai and on | which the Cogswell chair would appear 'to be modeled, do not have full-length arms. The depth of the chair would gnake it difficult to get in and out if B did. There_are styles of armchairs to %’ which the full-length arms belong. | 5 *They would be inartistic otherwise, and wo comfort is sacrificed thereby: in- 2 deed it is augmented _ So, in selecting a | u) chair, have a thought to its purpose, | ts comfort and its style. & ,_ The height of a table may add to or | @ detract from comfort when using it.
