Choosing Picture Frames.

In choosing picture frames many
people look simply to the effect Of the
frames upon their walls, and how
they will harmonic with their furni.
ture and draperies, forgetting that the
important thing is the picture itself,
which requires . suitable setting in
order to show its real worth. Certain
rules must be strictly followed in
framing pictures. For instance, heavy
and ornate bronze and gilt frames
should be used only for oil paintings,
the rich color of which can not be ex.
tinguished by the frames. Etchings
and engravings require simple mount.
ings. A plain, narrow gold frame, OF
one of oak or ebony, with . narrow
beading for q molding, is suita BILE;
white aud gilt frames are pretty, but
should not be used when the picture
has severe subject. A frame of plain
white enameled wood is appropriate
for an etching, which should always
have u mat of white water color paper.
or cardboard between it and the glass,
A monochrome in red chalk is appro.
priately mounted in q polished oak
frame, with gold mat. Certain
ornamentation is allowable in frames
for water colors. A narrow frame OF
chase gold surrounding "a mat of gold
paper, or one of neutral-tinted water
color paper, is quite suitable. - St
