Taste In Furnishing.

In selecting house furnishings be
very careful not to confound liking
with taste. As rule furnishings that
are conspicuous in themselves are sell
dom a good investment for people who
cannot afford to toss them aside at
will. Door hangings should always be
of heavy window draperies. The ap-
pointments of dining room are so few
that an error in their choice or COM
bination is more obtrusive than a SINH
lar error in any other room. The walls
OF a room that is to be occupied con-
stantly should be hung with plain pa
per or with that having an all-over
interlocked pattern in neutral tints.
Insincerity is as surely expressed in
a piece of furniture as in ones speech.
The artistic and restful effect of al
most any room is heightened by the
use of homemade fancy articles, pro-
vided their coloring tones in or con-
trasts pleasingly with the dominant
one Of the room, and they are few in
number. Small Oriental rugs make
the most effective covering possible for
floor cushions. Simply place the cush-
ion in the center of the rug, bring the
ends together and blindstitch these and
the sides together. using the scanned
side next the floor.
