The Attractive Room.

Tho one way OF making a room at
tractive Is by the judicious use OF
color. says the Architectural Record.
The ordinary dining room or sitting
room OF our houses in city or country
is not susceptible OF decoration by
means of form. Tho furniture, the
movable objects in the room, will be
so much more in the range OF vision
they will assert themselves so much
more positively than will the holdings
OF the dado or the door trims. or oven
than any plaster ribs and scrolls upon
the ceiling. that those attempts at
decorating the room by such simple
devices as we use for the exterior will
be of no account.
The holdings may as well be very
simple. Nothing will be gained by
notching and gouging, nothing by dog
teeth or zig-zag, nothing by carving.
unless Of richness and elaboration be-
yond our present assumption. Even
the mantelpiece, even the decorative
breast, cannot take you far. Beware
of the mantelpiece; nothing is more
dangerous than that feature when the
architect feels that his only chance
TO show what he can do there.
The thing to strive for Is color,
beauty OF color, and this may be rich
and deep, brilliant and wrought
through many gradations. or pale and
cool, In two or three divergent tints
rather than hues, varieties OF gray
rather than approaches to the prima-
ry colors. One is asked for permis-
sion to photograph his room because
1t has struck the eye OF the kindly vis-
itor as exceptionally attractive; but
one refuses. IL he is wise on the ex-
press ground that what has pleased
has been the harmony OF coloring in
wall and ceiling. In rugs and draperies.
in water colors on the walls and vases
on the shelves.
Harmony Of color, refinement Of col
or, richness Of color even, are within
the reach of those who have the gift.
but there Is no possible way of open
ing the eyes OF those who have 1t not,
or OF persuading them that they must
ask some one else to arrange their
room for them. That is one thing
which cannot be taught to any lady IN
the land. that she has not, II she has
not, an eye for color, or at least that
she has not the gift at working in
color.
