that most of the ugly and very TN

The Effect Of Wall Color,

Writing in Suburban Life, Fred H.
Daniels says that the choosing of a
general color scheme for a house rests
upon common sense, and that style has
nothing to do with it. Those rooms.
in which we live the greater part of
the time ought to have restful colors
on the walls. Those which have the in
SEPARATION of our presence for short
er periods of time may have colors
chosen for other reasons. Red, for
instance, is the most stimulating of
colors. It is good color to employ
in the entrance hall or dining room
but always an orange-red, not a violet
red, which is cold and irritating to the
eye. For the bedroom, light colors
suggest airiness and spaciousness, two
qualities welcome in a sleeping apart
ment. Colors have more influence upon
our nervous systems than we i'm

account when the curtains are
planned; and there should also be
uniformity in the appearance of the
windows from the outside. The best
way is to put pane curtains In all the
windows facing the street, hanging in
side the draperies assigned to dec
crate the room.
The pane curtains are made of some
light material and run on rods which
fit into the window casing close
against the pane. the linen window
shades drawing up and down between
these pane curtains and the draperies
within. Much filed pane curtains and
those Topped back or crossed over

straight curtains of conventional pat

ply hemmed or bordered with mar

Creamy window hangings are often
far more harmonious in brown. vel
low, green or rose tints. Women who
can stencil cleverly are putting artis-
tic stencil1ed hangings in library, den
and dining-room windows with ex-
cellent effect.
When the ceilings are over-high for
the size of the room, a more grace
full effect may be achieved by the use
Of valances. Indeed, the valance Is
the smart thing now in window dra-
perry, and unless the windows are
very low, add greatly to the attractive
ness of the hangings. The valance Is
strip Of the curtain material set be-
tween the two long curtains and fall
ing ten inches or so across the top OF
the windows, making the opening be-
tween the curtains rectangular rather
than V-shaped, as is the case with
draped back hangings.
Great care must be taken in making
the valance to have the hem perfectly
even and the casing at the top the
same width as the casing in the
longer curtains. A thread should be
drawn in both curtains and valance to
make sure the measurements are
exact. It is these little details OF
exactness which give the professional
touches, and no matter how anxious
one is to get the curtains up to see
the effect, the work should not be
slurred over or the result will surely
be amateurish and bad.

A Wandering Destiny
By MABEL CHASE ENGLAND
The country road, unshaded by tree
or shrub stretched straight and dusty

The country road, unshaded by tree
or shrub, stretched straight and dusty
under the burning August sun. A girl
in, cool white came slowly out of a
gateway, clicked the latch behind her
and stood gazing obviously at the
book and a box of chocolates; with
the other she raised her rufled skirts.
A mile to the woods, short walk
along a shady path to the bank of the
river, then-her canoe-tte book
the chocolates, and
With sudden decision she stepped
into the road and began picking her
way g1ngerly along the edge. When
she reached the opening In the woods
where the path began she heaved an
immense sigh of relief, but without
pausing kept steadily on till she
reached the bank of the river. There
she sank down on the log to which
her small canoe was moored, threw
off her hat, and gasped.
"Phew!" she said. Il don't believe
I'd do that again.
She sat few moments, her chin on
her hands, gazing out over the shad-
ed river, then, stepping into her canoe
she arranged herself comfortable on
pile of cushions, places the book
ana the chocolates conveniently be-
side her and pushed of.
The air was brooding and somno-
lent; the silence deep. She drifted
lazily-just a touch here and there
with the paddle to guide her. A faint
wind blew from the south and gently
lifted the soft hair from her brow.
The moments passed. Slowly, al
most imperceptibly, the little canoe
crept along. zoe's eyes rested stead
