When the company's property was
sold and transferred to the Virginia

nation as superintendent of the company
under the new order OF things, but has
since been notified that it would not be
accepted, and that it was the desire of
the new officials that he remain in his
position. AT the same time those gen

that no changes would be made.

idea prevalent that the Turkish rug is
a luxury which is beyond the means Of
the ordinary purchaser. Also, that to set
the pace with Turkish rug means that

the richest accessories. Both of these
ideas are mistaken ones, and 1T would

A large class is receiving daily instruc-

in these slow days, when only privileged
characters are invited to occasional sub
urban bouts in barn lofts, 1t is good to
see clean bit of sparring, liyened up
occasionally as professor and pupil warm

John Donaldson of the Glass Block is
among those who make Professor Carr
ciof1ni side-step lively for half hour as a
daily proposition. Mr.. Donaldson never
had the gloves on in his life until last
October. He has acquired a lot of sci
ence in the meantime and when he
squares off with the sparring master he
puts up formidable front To the un-
initiated, it would appear that half the
battle with the gloves must be to keep
your eye on your opponents optics, when
you can't land your fist thereabouts and to
put on an 81 amt afraid look intended
to make the other man keep his distance.

nicely suited to the occasion when ne

with more or less luxury, should be the
atmosphere of library. To avoid "miX
mess" do not use too much figured ma
terial. When fabrics of many different
figures are employed in the same room
it is hard to keep it quiet; it becomes what
artists call RESTLESS" at once. -
Fabricona is the only stuff I know of
which could be used with good effect on
your walls. It presents ahard glazed
surface. Better still, I like the walls
above your wooden paneling (Which
should be as rich as you can afford to
have it) simply calcimined. In either the
burlaps or calcimining you can use a
soft. warm Pompeiian red, the shade
which has glow of yellow in it. think
in fabricona it is called poppy red.' It
produces an indescribably rich glow, and
you feel at once when you have gone only
so far in your decorations that with this
color and dark wood paneling and Turkish
stu7rs for cushions and curtains, your
room will be as handsome as you care to
make it. With this wall I would use a
good deal of dull blue. Find Turkish
material with figures Of this color In 1t
and make cushions of it, interspersed with
some of brilliant yellow silk embroidered
with gold, bright emerald green and plain
blue. Hang any sort of Turkish or Per-
sian rug In your doorway which is soft
enough to draw back easily and contains
your blues. -.-.
If you want substantial table in place
of the carved Turkish affairs throw a
good rug over a plain, square table. Soft

from SO to $40, and make beautiful table
covers. Upholster your seat running
round the room with dull blue velours
and place some comfortable chairs uphol-
stored with Turkish stuffs near the table.
A Library in Beautiful Tones.
D. j.: Your library presents some

brass rod with brackets. This IS much
prettier than a heavy pole.
Between the curtains at one of your
windows swing basket of trailing ferns
and vines. Under your hanging lamp in
the center Of the room place your library
table. You can make this table for a
song in this way: buy pine table, called
a Kitchen table,; this should be little
over feet long and % inches wide; paint
it carefully good, soft glaze black; then
on the top tack dark blue denim, leaving
margin of inches Of wood. Fit this
very tightly and. smoothly and fasten 1t
with brass tacks, placed very closely and
evenly together. You will find, that your
common pine affair is thus metamor-
phosed into most presentable library
table. On this you will have room for the
last magazines, your writing materials,
your favorite books, etc.
A quaint looking brass candlestick
holding a red wax candle is useful for
sealing letters, and adds to the effect OF
your table. On the floor underneath, a
large Indian basket for holding news
papers is both usefal and ornamental.
ANY comfortable wooden chair you may
have can be easily converted into a pretty
dark chair by painting it black to cor
respond with your table and putting blue
denim seat in it fastened with brass tacks.
!. Hang your red Navajo from rod in the
doorway, and put red shade on your
hanging lamp.
You say that you wish very much for
large, easy chair in here, but that you can
not afford it. If I were you I would search

large, stuffed chair of the style wanted.

denim, and making square footstool

charming possibilities, to my mind, if you
will handle it with exquisite care. You
seem to consider 1t hopeless, because
the floor is painted dark drab, with a
blush tone, and you have bay with
three very, large, high windows and inside
shutters. I know that I have inveighed
against drab paint, but having received
several letters from people who have to
suffer from it I have set myself to make
study of 1t, and find just one way
to treat such a floor to make it present
able. Your woodwork is fortunately In
the oiled yellow pine. I say fortunately
because such woodwork is capable Of
golden lights, and these tones will be
necessary to your floor. Buy for the CEN
ter Of your room rug (either an oriental
one or an American imltation) having
tones Of shaded brown, orange and old
gold, mingled with blue. Sometimes very
good homemade Smyrnas come in these
shades, and you often find them In the, or1-
entail Anatolians. When you lay these
rich, soft colors on your "blue-drab" floor
you will find it suddenly beautiful; your
paint is lust the background for the warm
browns and yellows, and the dull blues
must be reproduced in other places about
the room. Above your bookcases your
walls should be taWny satfron color.
You can obtain very rich and finished
effect also if you will use a frieze of dark
blue tapestry paper, and then nave mace
for your central electric light border in
leather work. This should encircle the

made to order to correspond with the
general effect of frieze. Any paperhang-

way, to impart an air Of oriental richness
and Turkish art to your room. L like
your way of putting it. I feel sure from
the expressions in your letter that you
will understand what mean by the adap-
tation of a style. My idea OF artistic
ally adapting certain style to one own
needs and tastes is to work up from
some particular piece or pieces of fur
antture or bric-a-brac Of which one IS the
fortunate possessor to a general scheme
which produces the atmosphere or the
time or place to- which the piece belongs
Be sure, in the first place, however, that
the incentive is of sufficient worth to Iur-
nish an excuse. In other words, that
your piece of bric-a-brac or furniture Is
OF really intrinsic value, SO that you can
point with pride to it as the keynote to
your whole scheme. If, for instance, you
have a piece of rare old armour, Sara
cenio helmet or battleax, one which car
ries history and suggestion in Its every
look and line, upon which to found your
den, you are artistically secure but If
this implement of war is made of papier
nache you are lost.
The field of oriental art Is SO broad that
It is hard to 60 astray in this kind OF fur
nishing, so many beautiful things that
have come in common use are OF oriental
origin. AS all roads once led to Rome, so
most of the arts in textiles, metals, en-
brGa,Aries, carvings and jewel work can
be traced back to the Saracens. Unless
great discretion and real feeling for art
enters into the composition of such room

then secured with wooden clamps and you
have substantial and handsome set of
book shelves. 1t is we'll to introduce an
irregularity in them, as it makes them
a little more artistic. The bookcase I
have in mind rests on the floor and has
four shelves four feet long. The fifth
shelf is only two feet long; and is
placed at one end; on this, instead of
books, is placed an Indian basket. A
case of this size will hold more than a
