Say Laws of Artistic Harmony
Are Violated and Statehouse
Decorators Shift Bunting.

Custodian w. W. Huffman and his corps
of decorators, who have been working over
time during the last few days preparing
the interior of the Statehouse for the recep-
tion of Prince Pu Lun to-day had troubles
of their own yesterday afternoon, when a
self-appointed committee composed of sew
eral fair stenographers, headed by Mrs.
Colonel Huffman, walked into the lower cor
rider and began objecting to certain color
blends and schemes which the men had
arranged.
The latter, who had been congratulating
themselves on their imagined cleverness in
the matter of artistic decorations, wanted
TO know the reason why
Then followed several short addresses on
the matter of propriety in the arrange
ment of colors, which made the eyes of the
decorators dilate and caused them TO hud-
ole together for support They finally de-
cided. however. that the only thing to do
TO take advantage of the suggestions
in the color schemes were made much 10
