EFFECTS OF COLOR IN THE HOME.
By MRS. GEORGE c. BLAKSLEE.

We all love a coy home. Upon
entering a house we are all more
or less impressed by the color of
its walls and hangings and the
general harmony or lack Of it in
the rooms as whole. However,
few realize the differing qualities
possessed by colors. and their eff
feet upon ourselves. Oar thoughts
are influenced by the colors around
Us, also our work and health.
Alma Tadema, whose analysis of
color is keen, declares that he
could tell, by looking at any one of
his pictures, in which of his differ
ent studios it had been painted.
Color is the first consideration
| in any branch of house furnishing
and the object for which each room
is to be used must be thought of
as well as the general harmony, for
it is possible to destroy the COM
fort of the house by ncgiecting this
point. An apartment may be fur
nished in perfect good taste and
yet be made up of unrestful COM
binations. 1t has often been proved
that soft refined tones of color pro-
duce a feeling of repose, and that
harsh inharmoniOus colors produce
the opposite effect.
A color with a warm, welcoming
power, is yellow. However. as
this color absorbs no light and re-
fleets it all, one could not sew or
read in a yellow room without a
real strain on the nerves, even
when unrecognized. One may be
made really fretful by a yellow
shade on a lamp. Therefore use
yellow for reception rooms and
halls.
Rooms with south or west ex.
posure demand cool tones, and also
rooms seldom visited by the suns
rays call for warm tints to counter
act the cool, sunless light.
Indian and Pompeiian reds arr
. cool and restful, absorbing tn,
! light. 1t is this quality which
, makes them suitable as back
. grounds for paintings and a bric-a
brac. However, they must -be- uses
| with discretion, for unless there i
plenty of light the room would b
5 too dark for comfort, and artificial
light could never make it cheerful
if the room were to be used NOR
: in the evening than the daytime
t A room with large south and ives
e windows. furnished in one Of thes
: colors. would seem cool in the hot
e test days in summer.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1895-11-26

Dark green is also soothing and
cool, but depressing if used too
freely. 1t may be suitable for read
ing rooms well lighted.
Olive is another cool color but
requires ivory and red to prevent
it from being gloom. Dark sage
green is effective combined with
old-rose and terra cottas. Willow
green is pleasing for libraries.
Pale green is enchanting to the
eye, but unbecoming to most peo-
pie, and when combined with sill
yer relieved with a little winc-rcd
and amber it is Il charming color
for reception room or bed room.
White is cold, but lacks the quail
ity of rest. A white bedroom pro-
duces strong impression of pur-
ity and sweetness and never seems
stuffy, but no one wants to sit long
in white room, as the strain on
the optic nerve is great.
Pale blues must be relieved or
they are depressing, and as a cell
ing color very light blue is admir-
able when it can he used.
Cream is not so exciting as white
| and is conducive to cheerfulness
| and good spirits and is therefore
recommended for dining rooms;
also for nurseries and play rooms.
The deeper shades, buff and cafe
and lait, are delightful to live with
anywhere. With these shade.
nearly all other colors can be com
bined and the effect will be beauti
| full and restful.

"BREAKING HOME TIES"
Sketch of the Man Who Was known
Throughout the Ara World.


ny MISS FLORENCE A. STEWART.
The Breaking Home Ties"
which hung on the walls of the Art
Palace during the Worlds Fair
drew its admirers by the force of
its sentiment and proved how uni
vcrsal may be art in its appeals to
the best in our natures. 1t told Il
story familiar to- all alike because
there are no ties in the world so
strong rs home ties, and sooner or
later the break comes in each life.
1t pictured the most commonplace
incident in an American life. that
of son leaving his home to 90 eut
and battle with the world as Il man.
Ii brought tears to the eyes of the

public schools also. one of our
boys is now in New York city a
noted designer. Is this not char
acter building. ,
But we are sorry that this
branch of education ends with the
ninth grade, that there is no course
of art study in our High school
and in this we are behind other
High schools. The first question by
visitors from other cities is. ''what
are you doing in art in yonr High
SCHOOL," and with the answer we
are doing nothing, makes us feel
we arc not up to other cities in our
work. Why should this be. 1t is
understood that a properly
equipped high school should have
an art department with rooms of
generous proportions and appro-
priately lighted. That there should
be a collection of. plaster casts IL
Illustrating notable examples of
architecture and different styles of
historic ornaments, also notable de-
tails of sculpture. and there should
be more elaborate examples of
sculpture than pupils are expected
! to draw, and Photographic repro
auctions of the worlds most FAM
Gus paintings. Surrounded with
such examples that the pupils may
get some conception of the master
minds of art. Other art objects
are sure to connect themselves
with such a collection. Art study
requires all this. But why can we
not have even more modest COM
mencement this this! Can we not
unite the interests Of the public
and of the schools. Why not plan
the art department of the High
school so that it becomes the com
mencement of an art museum for
our city! Let us cultivate opor-
tunities for interesting the public.
The interest of. the parents in their
children and the interest of chill
dren in their work will surely
!, create enthusiastic interest in art,
!, and may we not even predict a
! modest commencement in orr
: High school in the near future.
| We invite the parents to visit
our schools to see the work of their
children. We will surprise you in
their ability in picture making.
: For are they not our little artists,
: they are surely as great in their
: picture making if the mind and
, soul of the child is put into their
, pictures, as the pictures of the
+ greatest artists who put their
, minds and souls into their pic
: lures.

schOol-rooms has grown TO such
an extent that its work has risen
entirely above the old mechanical
methods which ut one time were
considered quite good enough for
our public schools. The Prang
course in form study and drawing
is used, of which Louis Prang,
of Boston, is the principal origi-
nator. and in the last twenty-five
years the growth of this system has
extended over our country and also
has a name abroad. The Prang
course is a thoughtful and true
revolution of an art system which is
essentially for the development of
the individual, and artists are at
the head striving to develop the
very best that is in the child's
nature. The calling ofour teach
ers is truly a noble one. Their
work is far and away above the
most sublime painting that ever
grew under an artists brush, for
they are building character. In
our city the board of education has
furnished each building with sup
ply of type models, pencils and
paper. The models provided for
study are beautiful in proportions,
and the pupil is constantly led to
make beauty an aim in all his art
works. The study of really beau
tiful objects, natural or manufac-
tured. is emphasized and the beauty
of such objects is made a special
study.
The method of the teacher is to
lead the pupil to discover and ex-
press for themselves all that they
can about the form to be studied.
Each pupil has a model SO that each
one can study and discover by touch
as well as by sight. They are moi
told what they can find out fol
themselves teachers direct theiI
observations. thoughts and expires
sions by skillfnl questions, etc.
They bring out the individuality OF
the child, they awaken the creative
powers and call forth a love for the
beautiful, not only IN the children
of affluence, but those of the laborel
as well.
Three subject divisions of form
study and drawing are taught
construction, representation ant
decoration in their elementary
stages. This will develop in oul
boys and girls foundation to be
come proficient in one of thes'
divisions for their life calling if tn
talent is Unborn in them. And OIL
city is already proud Of those VIII

and are now entered upon their lif

he has given us most beautiful de-
signs of sweet peas, roses, orchids
and various lovely flowers, prints
Of which have been scattered broad
cast through the land, by our en-
terprising city newspapers, during
the last year or two. To become Il
specialist is the sure way of becom-
ing superior as an artist. For
thirty years Mr.. de Longpri has
painted flowers until his name has
come to be famous in association
with these ''stars of EARTH.
In the world of marine painters
we have Alexander Harrison, Win
slow Homer, Norton and Charles
Herbert Woodbury., in whose works
and love of the ocean we trace de-
scent from the NOrsemen. We
find these artists having a strong
liking for picturesque old Holland;
that land which some one has said.
. is nothing more than a bit of
pumped-Out bottom of the ocean,
where only bit of a dam keeps
the whales out of ones parlor.
But passing into that wondrous
realm of portrait work, where there
is something in the human that
seems almost divine, we read the
names of Chase, Porter, Carroll
Beckwith and Frank Fowler in our
own country, besides Sargent,
Whistler and Shannon, who have
set up their studios abroad and
come to be at the very head of their
profession. In Munsey's magazine

non. Although but 50 years of age,
he has risen from a poor boy into
the possession of a beautiful home
beside Holland Park, in London.
where the most beautiful women Of
England come to sit for their por
traits. The walls of his spacious
studio are covered with Flemish
tapestries in soft shades of green
brown and yellow. And through
out this home is that which tells O.
an ordered love of quiet beauty
even to the walls Of his little daugh
