people should be careful to wash their

Rules of Color Harmony.

Much sound advice on the buying
of rugs is contained in an article in
the Womans Home Companion for
September. In regard to color It
says: "a floor shoIld be the lowest
or darkest tone in a room, then the
walls, and the ceiling the lighte,t
or highest. This Is the natural way
and the safest to follow as a general
rule. 1t gives a feeling of firmness
and solidity to the floor, whereas II
the order is reversed, and the floor
is lighter than the ceiling, one fees
that the ceiling is coming down on
ones head and that doiging Is the
only way to escape blow. The
floor should support the walls in
color as well as in fact but care
must be taken not to make the
mistake of thinking that strength
of color Is obtrusiveness of color.
Strength of color IN the right place
will make the scheme of decoration
successful and satisfying one, but
obtrusiveness of color will make
hopeless failure of it.
THE chief color OF the rug should
be the chief color of the walls-not
necessarily the same tone but harmO-
nizing tones of the same shade. II
the walls are soft yellow, rug
with different shades of brown, and
to give the needed note of contrast
dull soft red and blues, would LOOK
well in the room. This kind OF rug
would also go we'll with green or blue
walls. The proportion of the d.
ferent colors in rug may make or
mar it for ones special use. ID
choosing a rug it is best to have
feeling Of one predominant colo''
with the other co,ors adding the snap
that contrast gives, and forming
harmonious and delightful whole
