1t is always wiser unless one has specially cul-
tivated taste, ample means and wide experience in
interior decoration to choose furniture of simple
design. Ornament is often dangerous, as the tend
ency IS likely TO be gaudy and SNOWY unless exc
cuted by artist. A beautiful room is that is
restful, conveniently arranged and interesting not
necessarily full Of expensive chairs and ornate
(and frequently unnecessary tables.
Floral designs need to be used with great caution.
They seldom desirabe in carpet wall hang
ings, and If employed for ceiling decoration should
be only a border soft tints. Nothing more tire
some can be imagined than wall ceiling thickly
covered with bright red roses and vivid green
leaves. Hangngs with little color and as un-
obtrusive design possible the best for walls
If one has choice in the matter OF wall but
must have lowered other striking design, Il Is
imperative that the curtains and table covers be
plain. The eye must have plain spots for

figures safely be used, a small room is made to
seem smaller by such paper. When one has

carefully carried out. This does mean that
everything must be blue everything red green
but that all tnts introduced should harmonize with
the predominant tone. A red room may have terra

cool grays blush greens. cream and crimson

RAID ON COPPER.
Gigantic Scheme to Get control OF Great
American Necessity.

Gigantic Scheme to Get control OF . Great
American Necessity.
New York, Dec. 1o-The buccaneers
Of the Amalgamated Copper company
continued their loot game in Wall street
today.
They scalped q casual $1,000 900 out
Of the public on the strength Of bull
arguments, which sent the market spin
ming up five points or more.
Then. taking all the stock offered by
the rampant bulls. they knocked the
props from under the flimsy structure of
lies and Misrepresentation. and down
fell the stock with a rush, pouring a
golden flood into the pockets Of the un.
principled coterie running the great
game of stock robbery.
All Wall street. with the exception OF
the lambs, now believes that the Anal
gamated copper manipulation is the
most gigantic bunco game the street has
ever seen. The thievins possibilities of
it cannot be computed. The stock has
fallen 100 points since the raid began,
and the paper losses sustained by the
company Approximate $Iooooo. 900.
