Furnishing Our House.

What an important question is this one
of house furnishing! People who have
house Of their own; or who have to be-
gin life In small two-windowed house
in some dull street; or those who cannot
aspire beyond unfinished lodgings
have one and all an interest in furnishing.
They wish, both naturally and wisely, to
make their house or rooms as pretty as
their means will allow. It is q great
mistake to throw cold water upon the ef-
forts which people make to render their
rooms cheerful and gay. 1t is a great
mistake not to take trouble about it our
selves; and even they who cry out
against making 80 much fuss about few
tables and chairs are Oftentimes the very
people who are most attached to their
own corner, their own pet sofa, and their
own creature comforts-only they don't
like to take any trouble about them.
Again, what history is revealed by the
furnishing Of room! We can form a
shrewd guess as to the mind and habits of
those whose rooms we enter, for their
stamp is on them. Our little peculiari-
ties are impressed upon our surroundings.
