FITTING UP DINING ROOMS
Artistic Effects May Be Acquired at
Little Expense by sklIIfuI Light.
Ing and Wise Furnishing.

The artistic dining room is one OF
the features of pretty home, and 1t
is quite easy for the housewife to
make the room the prettiest To do
SO does not require the expenditure Of
large amount of money, either. Its
location should be chosen according
to the facilities for lighting and for
Its proximity to the kitchen. There
should be several windows on two
sides If possible, or two large win
dows on one side.
To take away the dark look from a
| room with an easterly exposure has
been the desire Of many housekeepers,
especially where the room is a dining.
room. In cities many Of these rooms
require artificial lighting during the
entire day. But the effect of sunlight
can be given in degree by the prop
er wall papers and furnishings. Warm
yellow two-toned papers should be Sc.
lected for the walls, and a white cell
Ing should finish of the room. The
woodwork should be painted very
light color, white being the best, and
cream-colored shades should be placed
at the windows. II there are outer
curtains they should be of thin ma
terial
Stencil work is often used for the
walls In dining rooms. and give very
good effect, especially when the work
is done in two-thirds division of the
wall. producing dado effects. The fur
nishing of dining room is left very
much to the ideas of the housewife.
Dark furniture at the present time has
quite hold, and is being much used.
This furniture comes In the massive
pieces and also In the small sizes, SO
that the housewife need have no trou-
BILE In making her selections.
Large pieces should never be placed
in small dining room as they give
the effect of crowdlng, and give the
room the appearance of having no
space. Where there is large room
the massive tables and chairs can be
used to advantage, but In a small room
small chairs and tables give the best
results.
tions need not be of the same wood
from which the tables and chairs are
made, yet they should harmonize with
the other pieces of furniture. Here
again the dark wood is the most. ap-
propriate at the present time. Many
of the new china closets have the
circular doors and give plenty of space
for the hanging of cups. Round ta-
bles give much better effect In a
small dining room than the square
ones.

while getting her baby to sleep. She

opened it at an article headed: 'Tt

well-written article, much of this stuff
is, and she was so influenced by its
logic that she dumped the baby on
the bench, dropped the suitcase be-
