Hints on Home Decoration.

Never hang a picture so that It will b

Hang it so that the center will be about fiv'
feet and half from the floor, little be
low the line Of vision Of person of aver
age height.
Never permit white marble mantel Il
disfgure an otherwise tasteful room
Cover 1t with q draped mantel-board
White marble has o suggestion of cemeter
les about it. 1t always looks crude in ;
drawing.room, even in the form of the fin
est sculpture.
Never forget that an open fire and judi
ciously selected pictures will make any
room cheerful.
Never have dark carpet and walls in {
room that is deficient in light. Only apart
ments open to the outer light viii stant
gloomy tones in decoration.
Never use an Unfortunately large mirror
with dubious gilt frame, planned witt
the evident purpose of getting rid Of a
much gold-lcaf as possible. Small bevelet
glasses in sconces framed in rich plush o.
color harmoniZing with that Of the wal
paper are in better taste.
Never hang q picture from one nail
Aside from the mere question of safety
the use of two nails, the cord stretched
across them so as to come down squarely
to the corners of the frame, has symmet
rical effect and makes the walls very mucl
more finished.
Never have carpet patterned with 81
gantic roses or other actual flowers. They
harmonize with nothing. The colors in /
carpet should, in q great measure, com
plete the color scheme adopted for thu
