wife desires her home to be artistic,
yet some women will achieve a de
lightful, homelike atmosphere with
the simplest furnishings. when another
can not bring harmony out of the
most expensive ones.
Most of US have to get our furnish
ings a little at time and can not,
therefore, expect the perfect harmony
of room at one. time. But attention
to the following rules will help in
bringing about happy. results:
Never use clear white ia a room,
or chamber; it is too glaring and
chilly In its appea rance: If the wood
work is to be painted: give it an
ivory tone or the slightest suggestion
Of bronze green and the effect Will
be rich and soft. Use curtains of a
cream or ecru tint and avoid elaborate
covers of subGued colors on cream
cloth for the white ones. In framing
water colors, use a cream mat with
the gold frame and note the gain in
richness.
- No matter what the fad for the
moment may be. never use wall papers
of pronounced pattern or color; not
only do they decrease the apparent
effect of pictures hung upon them.
The plain papers do very well in
deed, but they should not be too dark
or too. pronounced in color.
Never use primary colors for the
principal furnishings of a room; they
are too vivid and do not blend with
each other; use the duh or pastel
shades. If a definite ceIer- scheme Is
to be used. 1t is always safe to cling
to dominant harmony; that is. various
shades and tints of the same color,
pilasize the effect. For example:
room furnished entirely in shades of
brown and yellow seemed dead:
crayon pictures framed with cream
colored mats and black frames were
hung upon the walls, and cushion

couch, and the room was perfect from

THOMP SON SAYS He

ders Settlement of Wife's
Hotel Bills Of S4o5
Failure to Pay Alimony Causes
Attachment Against
Property


The difficulty man who owns prop
erty. worth 100000 has in raising $500
was pleaded in Judge Murasky,s court
yesterday on behalf of Frank Thomp-
son as. a reason why She should not be
compelled to- pay his wife's hotel bills,
amounting to- s495. Mrs Thompson is
suing for divorce on the ground of
cruelty and was represented by John
S. Partridge. E.. j.. McCutcheon, attor-
ney for Thompson, said his client was
without ready money. He wanted to
know why Mrs. Thompson could not
pay the bills herself out of the $40, 900
worth of bonds Thompson presented
to her before the breach.
Judge Murasky thought Thompson
could find some way of getting at least
s495, notwithstanding that the estate
of his father, Captain r. r. Thomp-
son, is still in probate, and ordered that
he pay that sum to his wife.
Judge Murasky also modified the re-
straining order he had ISSUED against
the Thompson estate company to the
extent of permitting it to apply to the
probate court for the distribution of
the estate

|. A MUNICIPAL BAND
Supervisors Will Be Asked to
Provide for Organization
in Next City Budget
Daily Concerts in Public Parks
and in Other Breathing
Places Are Suggested
By Walter. Anthony

The board of supervisors is about to
be asked to support municipal band.
committee headed by some of the
best known musicians in San Fran
cisco will present an application for a
sum of, say $4,000, to be allowed in
the next budget for the support of an
organization similar in size and mu-
sical efficiency to the former park band,
which will play every night in the
week, when the weather permits, in
the various public squares+Ports-
mouth and Union, Jefferson park-and
the other public breathing places OF
this city. On Sundays it is planned
that the band will play in Golden
Gate park.
Heading the committee which is
backing. the proposition are DR.. II. j.
Stewart, Theodor Vogt. Charles Cas-
sasa, Paul Steindorff, Arthur Weiss,
Harry Menke. Alfred Roncovieri and
others.
1t is pointed out that Boston sup
ports municipal band; New York has
three or four, leading cities of Europe
enjoy nightly concerts by municipal
organizations, and that San Francisco
is happier than any other center Of
population in the enjoyment of weather
encoura ging outdoor entertainments
such IS band would provide.
CALHOUN CAUSED MISFORTUNE
The little town of Palermo in far
off Italy, even, has it's municipal band
educating the public in the art Of
music, BY improving taste and REIN
ing culture it is benefit to the people.
Since the park band was disbanded
because Calhoun did not care to pay
IL
company earned through the excess Of
parkbound travel which the music in
vited, San Francisco has not had free
music. That has been misfortune.
The present plan will give every
section of the city chance to hear, at
least once a week, the best of popular
Classics, and the advantages to culture
would be too obvious to need comment
or argument.
SCORES STORED IN LIBRARIES
Even our public libraries store scores
Of operas and symphonies on the
shelves. Much money is spent to pro-
vide data about music. biographies of
the composers and critical estimates
of their works for public consumption.
A municipal band would make t.is
mass of printed music audible and rem
der to the people in tone what few
can appreciate with their eyes as COM,
tposers and trained musicians do.
Let US have the big municipal band.
The complete committee which is in
charge of the matter, backed by the
musicians union and lovers of music
generally, is as follows:
DR.. H. J. Stewart, Charles Cassasa,
Harry Menke, Gerald G. kenney. Theo-
or Vogt, Paul Steindorff, John Keogh,
