with the government in pushing the
cases against the trust. United States
Senator Borah OF Idaho has been
preparing a resolution calling for an
Investigation. He is said to have the
hearty cooperation OF the upper house.
Recently a prominent business man
of New York told the senator that
more than S3O,00O.OOO had been stolen
during the past 10 years. This man
says he has been close 10 the sugar
trust for the past 10 years and is
willing TO appear as a witness. The
communication received by Senator
Borah declares that every cent stolen
was with the sanction and approval OF
the heads Of the trust. IL is pointed
out that the trust was not only guilty
of fraud and theft but also for vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust laws.

Plain Backgrounds the Keynote
for Artistic FURNISHING,

White rooms grow more and more
i'm public favor In referring to them
II must be remembered that the white
room is not actually new; it Is re-
vival of distant period. White pre-
walls i'm most of the fine old houses i'm
London, and one need but recall some
OF the gems from the date of the
brothers Adam to wonder why the
restful serene, and dignihed white
room was ever abandoned in favour Of
n mass of scrolls and indefinite indi-
cations of flowers. plants, animals and
other horrors. Walls of faint hello
trope, carpet of deep purple and a
couch and chairs covered i'm Panama
linen, constitute a peaceful room that
supplies a good background.
More and more do we make our
rooms a background for fine pictures
rare tapestries. pieces of silver, copper
brass, or china. and for the women
who inhablt them. Innate in every
one of us there Is a love of colour and
n few educated decorators urge its
free use. They argue that dash of
scarlet, glowing rose du Barri, radiant
blue, and so on have a good effect on
our spirits. Panels of linen are some
times introduced fixed on with bands
OF metal gallon. In such cases curtains
of the same material in a contrast,
would be similarly outlined with metal
which leads to weight them.
Not only in our houses in this key
note of simplicity demanded. Fashion
designers are depended on line and the
same inclination prevails to make nj
quiet and unobtrusive background
serve to throw out some massing of
bold color. Taste expresses itself in
the fabrics themselves, in the intro
duction of fine material. Exquisite
designing characteristics even the
braids. tassels and other little odds
and ends such as buttons and fasten-
ings, that serve to enhance the good
effect of our garments.
The fact that pictures from the stu
dos of artists do not sell so readily MS
they used to do is often deplored. Ii
might be suggested that while the few
can hope to possess masterpieces. the
more widely diffused tendency to Sc
lect for personal use and for house
hold purposes the work of educated
and skilled craftsmen opens up a wide
field for people OF artistic taste.
