A mirror is a very useful article when
1t comes to house decorations. and one
the properties of which every home dec
orator should understandS
A well-placed mirror has the effect
of pool of water in a garden. 1t
makes reflections, and a pleasant spot
upon which the eyes may rest. In a
dark corner a mirror is nearly equal
TO a window-provided 1t reflects a bright
portion 0f the room.
Although the two terms have since
become synonymous. the distinction be-
tween a mirror and a looking glass was
clearly defined in colonial days.
The mirror belonged to the parlor or
the dining room. and was chosen to ac-
cord with the woodwork of the room.
The most beautiful Of these articles
was the mantel mirror, which is now
reproduced in modern colonial homes.
But in few houses does it have the

but with the things that it reflects.
Fashioned Simplicity.
In the old days the mantel held few
articles.
A pair OF candiesticks and two tall
India vases were frequently the only
ornaments.
What housewife today has the cour-
age to place only four things on her
mantel?
Twenty-four would, perhaps, be the
correct Enumeration, and among the ar
ticles would doubtless be many small
and insignificant ones.
Personal belongings have no place on

The latest photograph Of the baby
does not have its proper setting here.
The colonial mantel mirror Is one or
the loveliest, providing, of course, that
the rOOnf~is in harmony.
The Eastlake mantel. with its mirrors
and shelves and ornate woodwork, has
met a Well-merited oblivion.
II exists IN houses or the Eastlake per-
iod, but no sane builder introduces into
new house any such nightmare of
wood and glass.
In new houses the built-in mantel mir
