Furnishing a Home.

Two extremes to be avoided by a wom-
an who Is furnishing a room, be II q
chamber or formal reception, are con-
fusion OF colors and monotony. II there
were any rule which might be laid down
homely houses would cease to exist. but
one can give only generalizations. Be 1t
said. however. that q woman win ind It
more than worth while to buy wall
papers. upholstery materials and the like
at places where the salesman's taste
can be relied upon. 1t is a pity when
spending money not to get the best re-
suits from it. and this is possible only
when one has professional advice or un-
usual natural taste.
A color scheme being arranged for the
living room OF a simple house Is chiefly
brown. The room is square, and has
mantelpiece. The woodwork Is plain and
painted white.
On the walls is to be put plain paper.

decided crepe finish, which prevents the
surface being fiat and entirely differen-
tiates 1t from cartridge. couch and
three side chairs are to be done in a silk
and linen material. striped in self-colors,
which vary from brown to cream, the
whole having q MORE effect.
So far the scheme is utterly lacking in
design or yividness, and IL continued
would give most embarrassing room.

the use of a printed linen, the design
Of which is bold in execution and car
ried out In dull blues, old reds and very
little green. The ground Of the linen is
coffee color, and has a tiny self-pattern
suggestive Of old ohintz.
Were the whole room done in this the
eye would be positively dazzled, but it Is
to be used on a large chair which is en-
tirely upholstered, on a cushion for
black oak bench. and for cushions for
two wicker chairs.
So is the brown furniture lightened, and
that the walls may not be somber the
linen will be employed as window hang
ings, going straight to the stills, finish
ed at the top with short valances
This room is an excellent example of
combining plain effects with bold pat
terms. Striking as is the linen, the cof-
fee-color ground binds 1t to the pre-
vailing brown. so that all harmonic and
do not conflict. This is q point to be re-
membered in all furnishing-that while
striking combinations are desirable, there
must be one color which is dominant and
to which all others must conform.

followed by the greatest orgies ever
known in the history of the new gay cap
ital OF Germany. Luxurious hotels and
restaurants have taken the places of the
simple cafes of a generation ago. The
diners have forsaken their native beer
and sandwiches for long French dinners
and expensive French champagnes. This
extravaganza among the Weather and
well-to-do classes lis reflected among the
working people in a fashion which Ger
man publicists consider imminently dan
gerous.
In fact, the Germans now stand next TO
the Americans as prodigal spendthrifts.
The growth of luxurious habits in Ger
many since the foundation OF the empire
has been just about the same as that in
the United States in the same length of
time. The Broadway life in New York In
1871 did not even family foreshadow the
gayety OF the Great White Way of 1910
There are Americans who preach against
American extravaganza, and sometimes
even a great political leader or an emf
nent Journalist will deplore the extrava-
gances of joy-riding generation in the
United States. But as vet Americans
have not taken the matter as seriously as
have the Germans, probably for two rea-
sons-frst, that America is so much richer
and second. that Americans think of pub
lie questions as purely political issues.
and rarely or never consider economic
problems.
The Germans are known all over the
world as the greatest travellers next to
the Americans. They go abroad in first
class cabins in luxurious steamers, they
stay at the best hotels. and in everything
except tipping they are almost as reck-
less as the Yankee abroad They will
not. any more than Americans, initiate
the thriftiness of the British traveller.
who does not scorn the second-class cabin
OF an ocean liner, and who always seeks
a modest hotel. ostensibly because Of its
modesty, but really because 1t is not ex-
pensive. A New York sporting man. who
was born in Germany, returned from
Monte Carlo last winter after staying
only three days, saying that the place had
been spoiled because there were SO many
Germans there.

More Dangerous Than extra
American Extravagance. 49,,

Germans are not held in leash by the
puritanical conventions which still con-
troll American social life the testimony of
withstanding Berlin, Dresden. Munich and
other German cities permit open vice to
exist to a degree which would shock even
the most ultra-liberal American commu-
nifty into paralysis. Berlin especially has
a low moral tone, which has encouraged
the spread OF unspeakable vices to an ex-
tent unprecedented since the days of de-
cadent Rome.
Aside from its sordid aspect, and the
danger II threatens to the existence of
the nation, the spread OF luxurious tastes
among the German people has its anus
ing features. Until the last few years
the Germans have paid very little atten-
ton to fine dress. The old custom was
for a. bride to have a trousseau which
would suffice for all her needs during her
whole life and leave enough over for her
babies. Now the bride is not satisfied to
appear In a gown more than once or
twice. and she objects to wearing a dress
in the second season as strenuously as
any American young woman. The Berlin
shops are as expensive as are those of
New York, and Berlin women apparent
ly gauge their dress by how much ii
costs. German men, also. have lately be-
come possessed OF the desire to appear
we'll groomed. Perhaps they will learn

practically all flowers are used with or

For these effects small roses. and moss

Many OF the large hats are draped or

or a knot of small flowers under the

many different varieties Of the season s

course, applied fiat 10 the brim While
flowers are used for this purpose. small,

We have heard a great deal Of late

THE pace that arrives" 1t is most

ton.
We are rather a high-geared people.
that is a fact. We do go at a pace
both in business and social life that is
the establishment of more ieisurely peo-
pies. We have until recently taken pride
IN this pace and thought il the proper
thing. But we are beginning TO take
q sober second thought about IL and
TO see that much of the best Of life is
lost by this hurry and strain. And so in
place of the pace that kills we are
settling down to the pace that arrives
The pace that arrives Is the pace
that has time 10 take cognizance Of the
laws OF health. Business men and w9-
men are coming TO realize practically
that they cannot hope for ultimate bust
ness success If they do not keep their
strength up 10 normal and their brains
clear and unfagged. 1t is not the mere
vague theory to-day that It has been
in the past when, though a man realized
that he ought TO do this or that he
didn't do it because ne was too rushed.
To-day, he takes the time because he
knows he viii be better able to do
work and TO do better work. So one
sees the busiest OF men and women out
on the golf links, or motoring. or horse
back riding. or dropping all business
cares IN the middle OF winter or in the

slider it waste time nowadays. They look
