two pictures each I by feet when

be more than one foot apart and not
more than two feet apart when side

Pictures should be hung from two
hooks. and there should never be a tri-
angle formed by the wire and the top
Of the picture frame. The construe-
ton lines OF the room are straight. and
the picture wires should also be
straight. 1t is better not TO have the

makes too great a complexity OF wires
Tacks or small picture nails may be
