TRANSFORMING r HOME.
Fixing up an old house and tran

Fixing up an old house and trans
forming it, into q CHEEKY, charming
home is one OF the mest fascinating
problems OF our presert-day endeav.
ors.
There is no room so awkward that
lit; is impossible to- transform it into
IN 5asl.ssic, satisfactory apartment.
Nor isit a. matterof carpentry or
masonry-but rather. a matter Of wise
taste, as well as careful judgment In
1.-the. selection of wall cGlors and care
lin, their: use. Sassiiai siia
The use OF room has much bearing
upon the scheme of decoration. If ii
Is to be used as "a; studJ. for a quiet
hour, It certainly should be given
colors and soft, delicate treatment.
We do not need to tear down the
walls 10 lower the ceilings if they ap-
pear 100 high and give bare, anfurn-
ished effect. Dark tones advance the
wall or ceiling toward ,:s-lessen the
apparent distance and decrease the
effect of size. Dark walls lessen the
apparent size of a room and light
walls increase the apparent size.
When ceilings are not too high.
when rooms have large openings into
and from each other, 1t is. a good plan
to use a rich ivory white tone for all
the ceilings and harIEcn,Zing colors
for the side walls,
Use a warm, rich, h-ownigh. side
wall for living room; then Suppose
the reception hall is on the north
side. here cafe-au-lait. or yellow tan
side wall with ivory ceiling will give
decidedly charming effect.
The, use, of q conventional 2four.inch
stencil design following about four
inches above the standing woodwork,
reaching over doors, following over
baseboards and going up over the win
dow frame, is unique, individual and
very effective, and is being used with
great success by the best decorators
in New York and Chicago.
Having decided on the color scheme
and having also chosen its form. the
really important thing is to choose the
vehicle or medium OF color, for unless
u material be chosen that has per-
manent ,colors and non-rubbing quail
ties our decorations, however beauti-
full, unique and attractive. are en-
rirely worthless If net actually USE
less. So this matter Of material Is,
after all, the. vital >poirit in the sue
cess OF the decorative. scheme.

Early TelescoIes..

IT appears, according to facts col.
lec.ed by Mr. Arthur Nee, that
Thomas Harriet, the. English astron.
omer, born in 1850, mace telescopes
perhaps contemporaneoas with the
the first instruments of Galileo. The
very first telescope seems to have
been made In Holland IN 1cGs. The
next year Calico heard Of tie discov.-
cry, and after writing for information,
began his own experiments. In the
same year Harriet had one or two Of
the Dutch telescopes sent to him, and
Immediately began improvements on
his own account 1t appears that he
made a considerable nuLiber, and Mr..
Nee suggests that some may yet be
found in some OF the Older colleges,
, or mansions, in England. 1t is said
that Harriot's last and hest telescope
was nearly twice as powerful as the
best made by Galileo LoEG before,
Harriet had been in Virginia. and
there employed in surveying. "ner-
snective glass" It would be very in.
terestirg to know; just what his per.
spective glass was.

savt,mEN LEARN TO: USE GAS.

"A new way Of earning money has
been opened to women by the gag
companies Of the large cities. They
ARE tent to private houses and apart
ments to explain the use OF the gas
EaEgs and Of the meter with, the OBJ.
5eet Of teaching economy in giths use
OF gas. According TO one OF these
teachers It is a position requiring
tact as well as the special knowledge
they are paid to diifuse.. -. =, &: 2s.
1T is always possible to. make; a
woman feel humiliated when you call
20 show her how to do what she
THINKS she knows how to do herself,
one Of the gas emissaries is quoted
In Popular Mechanics as saying about
her work. Possibly she has COM
plained to the gas company that the
xtove will not work properly.
THE reason may be that she does
mot know how to use it. but 1t will
not do to tell her 80. So we proceed
10 fnd out the season and do 1t so
adroitly that she still believes the
fault was with the range and not
with her. but at the same time has
learned enough to make certain hal
there viii be no future complaint"
Where the idea OF this new depart
ment originated Is not known. Chi.
cago has just claimed the credit OF

phia, New York and other cities also
have such departments and advance
counter claims In Philadelphia the

or make spcSal visits If called. 800.
Among the bits OF information
handed out by the teacher IS the
declaration that many women make
the mistake Of trying to light the gas
mt the same time they turn it on.
.-A''second or two should be allowed to
elapse< before applying the, match so
that the gas can expel the air. This
makes the burners work better and
saves gas.
Another, economical eXoetfient In
which many women pay little atten-
tion Is the simmering burner. When
a saucepan no longer needs the en-
tire heat of burner it is only nee
essary to transfer 1t to the simmer
Ing burner, to leave the larger burner
9ree for something else and to save
gas.
