Seriously though, there are so many important principles to be observed in furnishing that it is impossible to mention paramount one. I think, however, that one of the most important things contributing to really successful furnishing is appro- priateness. 1 was in a house today where the evidences of just this de- sirable appropriateness were admirable It that pretty modern Colonial house on the hill.

There is a large overstuffed davenport drawn up be- fore the fire “The paneling in the Toom also sug- gests the drawing room, and the pretty candle s so carefully and sym- metrically placed are further little touches of formality that keep the room from being too intimate for its all-around service. g Mhere are two bookcases in the room, one medium-sized and one er; and these, together with the books and magazines kept upon the tuble which backs the davenport, are sufficlent to establish the lbrary at- mosphere which necessary to the complete house where cuitured people dwell. “The same roum serves as a music room, and in it are a piano, a talking machine and a guitar, all arranged so sconet mall is use not predominating to the detri- ment of any of the other three.
