first consideration.
Another important factor is the bal
ancing of plain and figured surfaces.
Wall paper. rugs, hangings, uphol-
stery. all OF a decided and different
pattern. produce a most violent effect,
in spite of good color. Monotone
hangings. wall decorations, uphol-
stery and rugs, on the contrary, with
their unrelieved plain surfaces, tend
to produce a feeling of monotony,
though not of necessity depressing.
A room otherwise in plain surfaces
gains greatly in charm when relieved
by Oriental rugs, embroidered cush-
ions, in arts and craft, or Oriental
patterns end rich colors, with an
abundance OF pictures and bric-a-brac.
After all, some OF the best effects in
home adornment are an outgrovth OF
necessity. for often the woman who
has little money to spend must spend
SO much more thought upon her pur-
chases. and all of her acquisitions
must be so carefully considered that
the result is perfect harmony, brought
about by an assembling OF exactly the
right and rightly chosen objects OF
adornment. Perhaps IL is this sweet
est of the uses of adversely which Inn

and French designs also widely appro-
pirate throughout the states descend

Often composite effects prove pleas
ing. mingling of decorative elements
from different periods, il iudiciously
handled. possessing both harmony and
charm. Many decorators, in fact, advo
cate net too strict adherence to

period bit relieves monotony.
Color is an ever-important factor
in decoration and furnishing; for a
color sche me, we'll chosen, will render
attractive any but an exceptionally
unfortunate selection, or collection, OF
household goods. Soft. neutral tones
for the large expanses. such as walls
and floors, and even curtains and up
holstery, relieved with bright bits OF
color in pottery, tapestry and pictures,
is. perhaps, the happiest and most
reliable arrangement.
Elaborate schemes involving daring,
rich or brilliant colors, should be en-
skilled hands they may be safely ac-
complished.
A not too lively shade OF autumnal
brown. for living room walls, Is de-
ligbtful with the many shades OF oak

oak or Flemish oak. Early English

tone, goes well with tapestry effects

In every home the need Of things
purely aesthetic is felt, and the
ideals OF what is aesthetic expressed
in various ways. Wreaths OF hair,
wax and feather flowers, or embroid-

in many homes of generation or two
ago. and always the handicraft OF the
home worker has, to some degree,
supplied this need.
