stery, relieved with bright bits Of color
in pottery, tapestry and pictures, is, /:
perhaps, the happiest and most reh-
able arrangement.
Elaborate schemes involving daring.
rich or brilliant colors, should be en-
trusted only to the expert, by whose
skilled hands they may be safely ac-
complished.
A not too lively shade Of autumnal
brown, for living room walls, is de-
lightful with the many shades Of oak
furniture, now SO popular, such as
fumed OAK, mission oak, weathered oak
or Flemish oak. Early English oak,
slightly lighter and richer in tone,
goes well with tapestry effects IN
mingled green and brown, leaf designs
as a background In the wall covering.
With mahogany furniture, pale gray
or gold, and white enamel, is very
! pretty for walls and woodwork, while
C1rcassian walnut allows q back
ground Of dull rose or blush hue.
| Dark oak is likewise handsome with
rather brilliant blue, even delft being
! permissible, though such strong colors
are not generally advisable.
j In decorating and furnishing the home,
it is well to bear in mind the variety
Of colors and costume which season
and occasion may assemble within its
walls and to keep the broader tones
Of living room and dining room, at
least, OF so neutral character as to
I afford charming background for any
well-chosen costume. Color and light

over that OF q few decades
ago. The keynote of this happy strain
is simplicity, the substantial, unpre-
tentious, honestly made and sparingiy
adorned In all things, replacing the
6orid, iIly-constructed and over-ornate
effects, which enjoyed a passing popu-
nsrity from the day when the perfec-
ton of machinery made elaboration of
detail easy, TO the day when good taste
began TO demand, In place OF the facile,
machine-made adornment, the simpler,
hand-wrought designs.
Perhaps because America Is the land
Of invention. where mechanical con-
trivaHces Of every kind have been most
abundantly perfected, 1t was the Amer

ease with which machinery could con

was here most marked resulting, al
first in q reversion to the heaviest
and most crude effects, which gradu
ally took ON grace and Iightness with

It would be difficult to single out the
individual, or individuals, to whom
belong the laurels as champions OF
the new order Of things; for, as in al
other revolutions Of popular taste OF

created the IDEAL actuating the masses

should at all times receive first con-
sideration.
Another important factor is the ba.-
ancing OF plain and figured surfaces.
Wall paper, rugs, hangings, upholstery,
all Of decided and different pattern,
produce most violent effect, In spite
OF good color. Monotone hangings,
wall decoration, upholstery and rugs,

sity depressing. A room otherwise in
plain surfaces gains greatly in charm
when relieved By Oriental rugs, en-
broidered cushions, in arts and craft,
or Oriental patterns and rich colors,
with an abundance Of pictures and
bric-a-brac. After all, some Of the
best effects In home adornment are
an outgrowth Of necessity, for often

harmony, brought about By an assem-

it is this sweetest OF the uses Of adver-
sity which imparts to the simplest

ginning had nothing to say about the
affairs or the proposed bank. Mr..
Wiedeman admitted that stock sub
scriptions were still coming In

According to the last available fig
ures there had been only $50 shares
