'.Unestrouble with modern marriage

should not be SO. The great trouble
is that people who marry nowadays
look in marriage only for happiness.
Happiness is not the end of marriage,

bound to find many trials. They should
respect the etchical ideals; their great

Novelties In Spring Blouses.
By Dorothy Dale.

There are several distinct novelties pre-
sented this spring in white bouses, but
most of the more attractive of these new
models show dainty touches of hand work,
which serve to give the blouse It's dis
tinction. For wear with tailored cos
tunes, simple little dimity waists made
to fasten down the middle of the front and
with plenty Of fulness. achieved by the
use of fine hand-run tucks to yoke depth,
are very smart when worn with one of
the detachable plated frills
This idea of the plated frlll down the
middle Of the front was seen on several of
the newest models, and especially charm
ing are those which have the edges of the
frills scalloped by hand in fine wash cot
ton in color. One blouse of this sort,
which will serve as an explanatory model,
was Of white French lawn, with the edges
scalloped and polka dotted In blue cotton.
White embroidered In black or In pink,
pale green, brown or lavender are all
equally attractive.

and not to introduce discordant elements.
loose cushions of blue or violet, rug In
cream and gray-blue, and Arabian net
curtains are all available, and collection
of silver would find an agreeable setting
in such a room.
Sage green, which was so popular In
the early days of the decorative revival,
Is not so often seen now. Alone 1t is a
rather monotonous color, as q part of
the scheme suggesting the coloring of
the peacock 1t is exquisite. Why not
have a wall covered with the imported
ingram in rather gray sage green. and
have 1t adorned with a frieze peacock
feathersl Or you yourself might do 1t,
II you are clever with the brush.
The woodwork would be a rather dark
olive, the rug Of darker green velvet, the
furniture oak, either OF the tone Of old
French walnut or else stained a gray

cushions OF a Japanese brocade in green,

the color note, supplemented by green

Original aud charming effects In house
decoration are matters less OF the long

How to Buy and Hang Pictures.

by pictures that are skied or hung too
low or too far apart or an unfortunate
grouping of subjects.
In hanging pictures a good rule to OBJ
serve Is to hang the largest picture in
group on level with the eyes and to
place the smaller ones about 1t with ref
erence to their subject rather than size.
The introduction of one or two round or
oval frames into the group will relieve
the monotony Of oblong and square ones,
and will give a grateful sense of diversity
in line.
Shapes and styles Of frames must neces-
sariy conform In general way with the
furniture of the room, and coloring must
also be taken into consideration. There
should be enough variety to avoid any
danger of monotony, but at the same time
harmony must be preserved, even at the
cost of sacrificing a few favorites that
happen not to be appropriate or suitable
for a particular room.
heNquestion of portraits, whether paint
ed or photographs, Is always a vexing
one. So many Of them are anything but
works of art and to use them as orna-
ments for walls Is more than should be
expected Of the most devoted of beings,
no matter what the relationship exists
between the subject and the householder.
AS rule portraits painted by good ar
lists should be hung in the hall, dining
room or library, but Photographic por-
traits, when framed to hang should be
seen only In bedrooms or In the sitting
room. If in frames to stand on tables,
ETC., good plan is to devote one moder-
ate-slzed table to them and have them
all on 1t, so that there can be no danger
of hurting anyone's feelings.
Paneled walls Of wood should never be
desecrated by having pictures, no matter
how beautiful or costly, hung about them
but when wall is only wainscoted pic
lures above the wood are most attractive
Nowadays all pictures are hung fat
against the wall and the wires hung on
two hooks straight up and down, SO that
they are as little noticeable as possible.

a winter or two in a furnace or steam
heated house they become of smutty
cream color, instead of the fresh, dainty
white of their pristine state.
Engravings and etchings are better
framed without a mat. The mat often
detracts from the picture instead of
bringing 1t out, as 1t does with water
colors. Landscapes with a great deal of
detail In them require a very narrow
frame, one that is as simple as 1t Is
possible to find, while, on the other hand,
bold, broadly treated subjects require
frames that are wide and plain. Large
single heads are at their best in either
rococo or Florentine molding, unless they
too, are very broadly treated, when a
deep, fat frame of either gold or stained
wood will serve as the best background
and bring out the artistic treatment of
the subject.
In the old junk shops may be found,
too, interesting old engravings, etchings
and wood cuts, and sometimes even water
colors, though these are rare, and also
old English prints of hunting scenes and
coaching scenes, with the brilliance Of
the reds, blues and greens toned and
faded by years ofs'hanging in kitchens
and barrooms. Such prints should be
framed simply in dark wood and have no
mats and be hung in a rather dark part
of the room, so that the bright color will
give a high note where 1t will be most
needed.
The difficulties that beset the amateur
picture hanger are very numerous. Chief
among these is a great wall space. 1t
requires the most careful treatment to
prevent It's looking like the display wall
of shop. If 1t be treated as If divided
into panels, one Of the greatest OF its
difficulties will be overcome.
large picture will form nucleus for
the grouping of the smaller ones around
1t, but care must be used to avoid plac-

steps or in any way suggest geometrlcal
designs. Too often the entire effect Of
an otherwise attractive room is spoiled
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28

Good pictures are a joy to live with,
and walls barren Of any ornament are
never lovely, but are infinitely to be
preferred to those crowded with a hodge
podge Of inferior oil paintings, cheap
etchings or ill-chosen prints.
Few persons of moderate means can
afford good oil or water-color paintings,
with famous names attached, or artist
proof engravings and etchings, for these
cost proportionately with the renown of
the artist, but there are quantities of
exquisite water colors, the work of the
lesser lights in the field Of art, to be
had at prices not at all prohibitive, and
there are many beautiful etchings which
would ornament the walls Of almost any
house.
OF the many pitfalls that the mex
pertenced buyer is apt to fall into when
buying prints of the old masterpieces,
the commonest Is that of selecting the
ones that are so popular that, in spite
of their undeniable beauty and artistic
merit, they have become hackneyed to
degree. 1t is better to try to fnd those
that are not seen at every turn. Many
of the most beautiful have never been
exploited, and 80 have not become COM
mon, and 1t Is among these less we'll
known ones that individuality in selection
can be shown, with the result that 1t will
give touch Of distinction to the room
The proper framing of a picture is
quite as important as the selection of
the picture itself In the ordinary liv-
ing room. which has no pretensions
toward being a period room, 1t is snfe
to have the majority of the frames OF n
dark wood brown, a color that will har-
monize with almost any kind of furni-
ture, as well as being suitable for nearly
every etching, photogravure or water
color. 1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that for water color bright In
its coloring, a simple gold frame is to
be preferred, narrow one Of plain dull
gold and a mat of white or gold, a ques-
tion to be decided by the strength of
the pictures coloring.
White and gold frames have long since
had their day, and are little seen In

The first blouse sketched also shows the
Introduction of color. this model having
the yoke in the back and front embroid-
cred In polka dots in graduated sizes, the
yoke sections on each side and the cuffs
being scalloped and embroidered to match.
The second blouse is intended for more
dressy occasions and is Of mercerised null
rather oddly cut about the yoke in little
square tabs which are finely button-holed
down over an underlaid section OF pale
pink null. Cluny lace insertion and me-
dallions and a design In hand embroidery
were used as further trimming, the yoke
being of fine alloyer Valenciennes and
Cluny beading.
The third blouse pictured was Of white
cross barred batlste made with strip Of
fine batiste embroidery, this strip being
edged with plated frills of the batiste
and with Val. lace. Most of these blouses
are worn with stift rundown collars and
little lace or silk ties.

New Ideas In Coloring.

herewith, suggests not few novel Ideas
in coloring, which will prove Of use to
one about to furnish a summer home. The
wall was covered with gray-green grass
cloth up to about two feet from the cell

wood, and on It were placed, here and
there, an ivory-tinted plaster cast, plat
ter Of pink and green Chinese medallion
ware, some bits of pewter, a jar of gray
green pottery and a straight Oriental vase
in peach blossom pink.
The rug, on the dark polished floor, was

furniture fumed oak in French shapes,
with a tabourette of dark wood inlaid
with mother-of-pearl, such as one may
find In any of the Oriental ware shops;
