their urgent deficiency estimates, but
Congress did not include an item FIR TINS
appropriate in the bill when IL was
passed. and unless il is included in the
general appropriation bill the golf cour1o

other year.

How to Choose a Color Scheme.

It Is by no means a simple matter to choose a color scheme for the home, as there are so many chances for error. The success of the selection depends largely upon knowing how to choose with good taste.
 The cost of the material alone Is not q safe guide in choosing material for wall decoration, aud people with but. little mems may have just as artistic and at tractive surroundings as the wealthy perhaps more so, for the simple one-tone tinted wall, which is the least expensive of all wall coverings. has the approval of the best and most correct taste.
