THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times DO q "Llvable"
. Room.

What to do with the living room 10
q problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should DO
in fact as well 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 1or
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and It is absolutely essential
that the 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, better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out In better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
Indicate 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 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 were 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 1t Is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
fly 1t, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but 1t Is also
dependent upon the light of the room.

"a young woman came to our city

No piece of American political furni.
ture would more surprise the founders
Of the republic than the undesirable
three-legged stool which the vice.
presidential chair has become. The
founders put it In the best room, Sec
ond only to the presidents seat. Now
it Is out in the back yard of political
favor. Yet it is an important office;
the presidency of the senate is a place
of power. Four vice-presdents have
risen to the highest Office through
the death Of the president, Three
others-Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren,
were vice-president before they
were president. In the case of the
early vice-presidents, election to the
second place meant that they had been
candidates for the first place. And
what that really means ought to pre-
vail now; that is, no man should be
elected vice-president who is not re-
garded as good enough to be presi-
dent.
