What to do with the living room IL
Q problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living o should be
In fact as we'll as In name a living
room-a livable room. It Is the room
in which the most of our time at
home Is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and It Is absolutely essential
that che walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious In
color, suitable In texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis.
cordant with rugs and %carpeting, and
indicate a higher degree OF taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which We paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out OF a hard.
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest TO the Imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti.
full, but they we're never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures OF wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form Of a tinted or solid col.
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately It Is
the only permanent way; the only
way hat does not involve the end.
less labor IN the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect Sc. of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 15%.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
Ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warn colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light a

colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light ycllows reflect It; browns mod.

conditions for packing apples and no
