The difference between black and

Miniature Railway Signal Clock for
the Hall Table.
Grandfathers' clocks for the hallway
are undeniably beautiful and will never
be given up by persons who appreciate
the harmoniously artistic, but there are
n great many families in which the de-
sire for the new outweighs everything
else.
In such a household this unique nov
city will o. a welcome. 1t is not large
enough to stand on the floor and must
be stationed on the hall table. 1t is a
miniature railway signal carried out in
polished oak, with nickel or silver
mountings. On one side of the post is
a clock and on the other is a barom-
eter, answering to the lights on the
original signal. At the top of the post

low it is a Thermometer The real rail
way signals are replaced in this in
stance by the words on either side.

the nicely adjusted levers indicated at
the bottom on the standard. This is
convenient in many ways, for If the
mistress Of the house goes away che is
not obliged to notify her maid, and if
she does not want to receive callers the
little signal serves the same purpose.

House la Decorated

House la Decorated.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening. others that absorb
light and give a boyedup appearance to
a room. others that make a room with
bleak northern exposure. or with no ex-
posure at all, appear bright and cheer
full; some that make a room appear
warm. some that make il cold.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into a blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, a room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it is.
On the other hand. blue of a certain
shade introduced generously into a
room will give an idea of space Red
makes no difference in regard to size.
Green makes very little.
If bright, sunny room gets it's light
from a space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow-painted houses. or
else looks out upon a stretch of green
grass. il should be decorated in a color
very different from the shade chosen #
the light comes from only an unbroken
eXpanse of sky.
Red brings out in room whatever
hint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed.
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful.
If olive or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture, the
effect is very different from what it
would be if blue were used. Blue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in
the mahogany.
If ceiling is to be made higher, leave
it light, that it may appear to recede.
Deepening the color used on the cell
ing would make it lower-an effect
desirable if the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight

ground, touch of color being given by
dainty pink, blue or green, forming
the main decoration on the top of each
oval Except the central ones), and out
lined with gilt, as also are the broken
lines of the mosaic pattern.
The Napoleonic wreaths are of course
green, but the ribbons should match
the color used in the other decorations.
The heading about the central OPEN
ings is also gilt.
A pretty variation of this design may
consist of a vine of leaves, forget-me-
nots, pink rosebuds, or any flower de-
sired, inclosing the rim of the oval,
which latter still remains gilt, the
flowers being added to the design as
it now appears.
When the painting is finished the por-
traits should be glued into position,
and the whole framed in passepartout,
the glass being securely held by linen
tape, which, when bound about the
edge, lasts longer than paper and may
be either left white or glided to match
the rest of the design.
On the back, which should be of thin
bristol board, fasten with loops of the
linen tape, two little brass rings to
hang the frame by. and ask all the mem
bers of the group TO place their auto
graphs in this space, and in this way
may be obtained pretty, durable and
exceedingly inexpensive souvenir of a
happy occasion. If a more elaborate
frame be desired the same general de-
sign may be reproduced in embroidery.
