House Painting Ideas.

Extensive building operations in Omaha
this and last season has brought out a
large variety of ideas In outside house
painting. The one particular change noted
in this form OF house decoration has been
the demand for trimmings For several
years it was the style TO paint the house
with one color, this being known as the
California style" Painters say the use
Of trimmings has come back and is now
quite general A light body and dark
trimmings is the combination being used
more than anything else. Cream and drab
colors are recommended for body colors,
with a strong contrast for trimmings
Dining Room Decoration.
Pictures are not used as much IN dining
rooms as they once were, the idea being
TO carry out the decorative scheme in the
paper, fresco or silks or whatever the
material may be- Any pictures used are
Of the very best II the other decorative
features are at all pretentiOus. There are
so many styles Of dining room friezes
being offered in the various forms OF
decorations that pictures would dun rather
than heighten the general effect. Many
Of the friezes now used are works OF art
in themselves and need no further embel-
lishment.
The same general rule Is laid down in
the matter OF using flowers for home
decoration. Cut flowers placed on a small
table IN the right part Of a living room
adds TO the general tone. While more
latitude may be used in the distribution
OF flowers in a home than may be used
in hanging Of pictures, It has been pointed
out that II is not how many or what kind
OF flowers are used, but just how they
are placed. that counts. Judgment and
good sense, OF course. should be exer-
clsed in the use Of flowers for interior
decoration II good eject is TO be OBJ

There has been q radical change in
frescoe decorative art within a few years.
The classic styles Of designs are fast be-
coming obsolete and are being replaced by
realistic effects IN richer and holder colors.
The old, conventional designs did not ofer
sufficient latitude for color schemes or
subjects and patrons Of this class OF art
looked for something new. The new de-
mand has been met with considerable
versatility by the decorators. The new
effects are taken from plant life, animals;
scenes from nature, such as the woods,
lakes and the like. Such schemes as two
apple trees, one at either corner OF a

general use are pleasing. Inner curtains
of chintz, cre.onne or sateen over the
white curtains are used in bed rooms and
dining rooms that are not furnished too
formally. Figured curtains go well with

ured walls, the same rule as referred to In

Rugs and Their Rooms.


II is essential that rooms should have
hardwood floors to be sanitary and clean.
Oriental rugs are used for the best rooms.
Kermanshah rugs should be placed in
parior Turkish or caravans in the dining
room. Afgans and Bluchesteins are used
IN bed rooms. The prevailing colors OF the
floor decorations should in all cases blend
happily with wall coverings and portieres.
Domestic rugs are being used more than
ever by those who cannot afford the ex-
pensive patterns. It is hard TO distinguish
some OF the domestics from the imported
rugs and for real decorative purposes
there is little or no difference.
The relations OF the various rooms OF a
popularity decorated house should be har-
mOnious as to color. There should at
least be blending. which need not inter-
fers with the particular decorative scheme
OF any one room.

Erect of surroundinEs.

Suggestions Of good cheer should FREEDOM
mate in the dining room, that digestion
may wait upon appetite" One writer On
the subject Of dining rooms says: There
is no doubt that our surroundings exert a
great influence over our minds and con-
duct The decorations OF the dining room
should, therefore be of such temperament
as to suggest good-fellowship. There is,
perhaps, no color which is quite so apt in
this particular as red"
This is what Edward L. Brooks notes on
sleeping room furnishings: LAS one-third
of our time is spent in bed, the sleeping
room should furnish US with such surround
ings as to occupy our minds with cheerful
thoughts on retiring, and upon waking to
stimulate our hopes for the work of the
day. AZ the quaint old saying, goes 1t

over the footboard. If we are unfortunately
obliged to decorate to walnut or

to give cheer. adding light ceiling in ivory

When one begins to delve into the art
Of modern home decorating he Is nearly
lost In its possibilities, so vast Is the field
and so skilled is the work Of those persons
who nowadays give their lives to the art.
The better class Of home furnishing stores
in American cities have decorators who
design interior decorations, drawing the
whole scheme out with the care Of an
architect drawing the plans for the con-
struction of a building The home dec
orator is, per sc, an artist with the ar
lists appreciation of colors and color
schemes. Having drawn out his ideas,
the rest Of the work is largely mechanical,
much the same as artisans put into their
places the wood, iron, steel and other ele-
ments Of the building itself
Two principal factors enter into the work
of the home decorator-the period of the
decoration and the color relations These
periods are known as the Elizabethian,
Jacobean, Cromwellian, Queen Anne, Amer
lean Colonial, Georgian, Victorian, Gothic,
Charles v, Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Empire
and others. The color ideas neoessitate
more than ordinary knowledge of the COM
Elementary relation Of colors, such as red
is the complement Of green, blue OF orange
and so on.
At this season Of this particular year
home building and home decorating are
live questions in Omaha and in conse-
quence all who are engaged in these crafts
and arts are exceedingly busy.
Taste and Purse the Limit.
More attention is being paid to artistic
home decorations in Omaha just now than
ever before. The better class of interior
decorations cost money, and plenty of It.
There practically is no limit to what may
be spent in this line and yet cling to the
artistic; and yet, the more humble home
may be artistically decorated for a mod
crate sum. the difference being in the
quality of the decorations. For instance.
there is on the market a serviceable wall
paper which sells for 81 to 50 a roll, and

be obtained for wall decoration for the sum
Of $50 per square foot, or $3.50 per square
yard. And so in other things.
| For parlor, dining room, library and sit
ting room wall effects silks are being used
with draperies to match. These silks are
woven with designs, such copies of
famous scenes and original paintings of the
masters. These fabrics sell from $50 to
SO a yard. Verdure tapestries over the
plate rails in dining rooms are the correct
thing. Some use hand-painted walls to
represent tapestries.

Advice ~ to Selection.

H H Hendrick, associate editor of Wall
Paper News, advises every woman about to
select wallpaper to consider her selections
from the unitarian as we'll an from the his
tortc and the sentimental standpoint. Del
icate woodwork and furniture such as birch
or maple, should have for an accompani-
ment papers Of a delicate character and 1t
Is essential that deep-toned paper go with
dark woods, he points out in a recent art
icle on the subject He suggests "clothy"
effects in paper for rooms having highly
polished woodwork, and soft antique tap
estry effects with mahogany. Strong, dur
able-looking papers are recommended for
use where the wood work and furniture are
OF a severe or substantial character.
There are times when a light japanese
paper with dark woodwork is very effective
and artistic. Thus the theory Of contrast
applies in some cases and the theory Of
analogy in others, The character of the
room should always be given due consider
alton, for it is one of the most important
influences in the proper selection of wall
coverings. In children's bedrooms the color
schemes and wall hanGings should invaria-
bly, reflect youth and gaiety. Some OF the
picture friezes which can now be readily
obtained make excellent decorations for
rooms Of this description. For a study,
where all Is quiet and repose the environ
ment should be consistently sober. quiet

MUST Be RADICAL
CHANGE IN TAX
METHODS
Assessor Allen Makes Few
Pertinent Suggestions Re-
garding Methods.

City Assessors Miller and Allen are
in the midst of oil and trouble in the
compiling of the annual assessment
rolls of the city of Grand Forks. The
assessed valuation last year on real
and personal property in the city was
100000 and the figures are expect
ed to total in the neighborhood OF
100000 higher at the present time.
The assessors, this year. are not
assessing as high on household goods
as they did year ago and the news
will come as good tidings to those
people who have not already been
favored by a visit from the genial
tax men. When asked the reason for
this lower assessment Charles Allen
explained that they were of the opin-
ion that the assessments a year ago
were rather too high when compared
with other communities.
While ON this topic of equitable as
sessment Mr.. Allen took occasion to
air his views on the matter of town.
ship assessors following their instruc-
lions.
Until we get law through es-
tablishing the office of county assessor
there will never be a just assess
ment. The forty or fifty individual
assessors in each county plod along
in the same old rut or groove and no
matter what the nature of the in
structions, there will never be any
change in the mode of procedure un-
+ less there is radical change in the
n a no
This radical change can best be
secured through the establishment of
a county assessor.
What l mean to emphasize when
I say the township assessors assess
in the old groove, is this. Each town.
ship tax assessor is elected for his
township and when he makes his
rounds the natural tendency is to un-
der rate and give his neighbors the
best of the bargain. This is bound
to happen nine cases out of ten.
I'VE. in the city of Grand Forks,
assess on valuation of forty per
cent and even at that 1 am of the
opinion we are higher than Fargo,
basing these conclusions on COMPARE
tive valuations made of belongings
previously assessed in the city up the
Red"
Assessors Sim Miller and Allen
stated to an Evening Times repre-
sentative that in the neighborhood Of
300 new houses have been erected in
Grand Forks since last year. As the
task of assessing the city will not be
finished for two or three weeks yet.
the exact number of new edifices will
not be known until that time.
The city board of review will begin
its session on June 10. when the as
sessments will be reviewed and equal
ICED between individuals. The ses-
sion will last about two weeks and
the books will be handed into the
county Offices about the first of July.
