HOW TO STENCIL A WALL.
Simple Method of Securing the Most
Artistic Effects.

Very artistic effects can be secured
by stenciling wall. 1t makes break
in the plain surface and very har.
monicus contrasts and dainty color
schemes can be worked out by the
use of stencils. To use the stencil
successfully start at one corner Of the
room. press the stencil firmly against
the wall, have the material that you
are going to stencil with mixed up
ready for use. dip the ends of your
brush in this, and simply rub II
across the face of the stencil, being
careful not to get too much stuff on
the brush so that It will run back OF
the stencil and blur or blot. When
you finish one section remove the stem
ell from the wall and carefully match
1t 70. the next.
An ordinary round paint brush Is as
good a stencil brush as any. Tie the
bristles about half way down SO thai
they will not spread, and in using dir

ALL MATTER OF PRopINoulTY,
L Is the Event Near at Hand That
Counts Most In Everything.

The death of hundreds of people In
distant part of the country from
where We live hardly arouses more
than passing interest, and the more or
less sudden taking away of thousands
of lives In some far remote land
evokes no more than word Of sym
pathy from those long distance
away. But the single death near al
hand, the funeral across the street.
makes the strongest possible mark on
the mind.
Propinquity. in that as in everything
/. else is what counts. The death In the
family cuts into the heart for years.
If accompanied by details that make 1t
a horror, the shock often remains with
the survivors to the end of their own
lives. II the lost relative has met a
violent death, by accident or other
wise. the anguish Of those left behind
Is all the more poignant and endur'
ing. Worst of all, and most lasting In
- effect upon the survivors, is the
Heath where unexpected financial dis
| tress or ruin follows the loss of the
| family head. 1t is a wretched home
circle for many year WHEN the chiei
is taken away. leaving only debts
with no property, not even a little In
surance policy. behind.
