Making or MarrinE a Room.

Color makes or mars room, and
many inexpensive houses have been
made successful by the intelligent
use OF this powerful factor. Harmoni.
Gus coloring does not necessarily imply
a room where everything matches. The
blue rooms OF the eighties, where walls
carpets, curtains. lambrequins and up
holstery were all one shade, exist to
day only In fiction. They were never
cheerful, imparting by some subtle
power their own indigo colorings tC
the moods of the occupants.
The blue room pure and simple Is
not now in favor. But we are all IA
miliar with the very green room. Green
is natures own color, and none other
is so restful, SO desirable, but II can be
abused. Nature makes use Of russets
OF yellow browns. OF red browns. OF
bronze shades. OF grays. OF soft pur.
pies. of pomegranate tones. These may
be transferred 10 the walls OF our
houses. and II rightly placed are very
effective-House Beautiful.

thus stated by the Pueblo Chief

"The progress of the war for the

very largely upon the number of
Russian troops now in Manchuris
"hnd their condition and effective

run Korea and to establish herself
in whatever position she considers
to be the most effective. She will
be secure from naval attack, will
have her base and lines of supplies
perfectly protected. will be in

All OF the great powers have
