In Carpets
Curtains, draperies and pictures may be in
perfect harmony and room still be lack
ing Something may be needed to give in
dividuality and character. a contrast in col
or, and a higher form of beauty than that
which can be given by the ordinary brio
a-brac in spite of it's rich color and sue
cessfuI outlines
A bit of brass will give both color and
variety, but good plaster cast will fill all
requirements. soft ivory tinted victory
or Mercury full of grace and movement,
against plain rich background, surround
ed with objects subordinate in color and
harmonious In character, will give life
beauty and dignity to an otherwise monoto-
nous room.
a Donatello Madonna in relief, or a panel
OF Della Robbia's singing boys may well
become the central point of the wall deco
ration around which the pictures are
grouped. These bas-reliefs aside from their
own beauty, will add the needed element
OIL interest and variety to a collection of
framed photographs, which, from their
similarity In shape and colorings are in
peril Of becoming monotonous from a deco
rative standpoint. some of the masks and
heads VIII often brighten dark corner
A mere plaster cast, although It's material
may be of the humblest, If the reproduc-
ton Is faithful, as 1t should be- suffers III
and demands surroundings not unworthy
its beauty and dignity. It's simple mate
rial has not only made 1t possible for a per-
son OF moderate means. but has at the same
time made 1t more harmonious with the
simpler surroundings of our homes where
marble would most certainly be out OF
place.
The danger that these casts might be-
come too prominent, that they might make
unpleasant spots of dead white in the midst
of snbdued coloring, has been obviated by
the ivory tintlng. Almost any tint may be
obtained, although we are told that the
use of pigments will invariably take away
from the delicacy and clearness of detail
The so-called snow" finish Is recon-
mended on this account. This finish is not
the dead blue-white which is the plaster
OF paris color, but more OF a cream white
with dull polish. This Is supposed to pre-
serve the delicacy of detail better than
the ivory finish, and also to resemble the
original marble most closely. Many Of the
casts taken originally from the bronze are
toned a dull green. and the results are
most effective.

The Bay Window

The Bay Window
Facing southeast or southwest Is the ideal
window for Towering plants. for in such
location It Is possible to have many classes
that do we'll with each other, while in WIN
doys facing other points of the compass we
must use greater caution IN associatins
classes.
Assuming, therefore, our floral window ls
facing the south, southeast or southwest,
we NAV place in it such plants as gera-
NUNS, towering begonias, primulas such
dubious plants as hyacinths, narcissuses.
lilies, etc; few of the more easily grown
orchids and many of the simple plants read
lily grown from seed, such as nasturtums,
thunbergias, petunias and the like. It will
be noticed that such decorative plants as
marantas peptonias, rubber plants and
ferns and palms are not included in this
list for, while 1t Is possible to add some
of them, the interested amateur will find
that they do much better by themselves,
especially palms and ferns
Palms are excellent for grouping by them
selves, or as individual specimens near
window, and the ferns for decorative pur-
poses are fine set in small pans so that they
may be readily moved. If one las fern
cry the situation is altered.
The place of honor In plants desirable for
the window garden belongs to the common
geranlum, because it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that II IS the plant from
which the beginner may obtain experience
better than from any other.
1t will stand abuse and thrive under con-
ditions that would kill most plants. OF late
years many new varieties nave been added
to the list until now the beauty of the
bloom rivals that of many plants more
highly considered. In growing geraniums
one soon becomes familiar with the simple
principles OF the work, soil and tempera-
ture. watering and the proper drainage of
the pots.
one can scarcely grow a collection of
geranIums through the winter, If one is at
all observant, without learning many of
the things which will enable them to add
more delicate plants, and those less easy
to grow a second season:
The advice therefore, Is sound, that II
one is entirely without experience or has
become Respondent from previous failures
in flower growing, one should confine ones
sole TO eeraniums and one or two other
plants OF such classes as Towering bego-

II Is often impossible, even for the nro-

one Of these makers. as their designs wsra

With Cut Leather


You can make many attractive bags, card
cases and other useful trifles. Ooze leath-
er is mostly used for the cut work. This
comes In handsome colors, and is 80 soft
and piable as to readily conform to the de-
sired shape.
The pattern is transferred to the leather
In the following way: A pencil drawing
of the design Is first made with soft PEN
Gil. The drawing is then laid face down
on the leather. BY rubbing over every part
of the design with the blunt edge of pen
knife or with palette knife the design Is
transferred to the leather. 1t is then nee
essary to trace over the lines on the leath-
be lost in the handling.
For cutting the design use tiny sharp en-
broidery scissors or a shoemaker knife.
In using the latter ii is necessary to do
the cutting on hardwood. A good finish Is
sometimes given to the work by fine black
ink outline close to the edge of the pattern.
The outline Is made after the cutting Is
completed. In some designs it will be found
necessary to glue to the lining some of the
cut portions of the leather.
A novel little penwipe Is made of two
heart-shaped pieces of light gray leather
The upper piece is cut, and under It is used
an underlay of moss green satin. black
outline Is here effective.
A collar case of golden brown leather and
pale blue silk is made in the shape of the
old-time handkerchief or glove cases. 1t
Is most convenient for both collars and
cuffs The light blue taffeta is used for the
lining Across the inside of the case are
two ribbons to hold the collars in place
After the leather is cut and the SILK I'm
ings. ribbon, etc, basted in place, the case
is machine stitched close to the edge as
possible. using an upper thread OF brown
and an under thread of blue.
Harmony of color must be we'll considered,

Is to have the colored Innings OF un9er-
