AS a decorative adjunct to the in
terror the Japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and awaiting

ming the furnishing OF a house. And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be in decorative scheme.
By screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement,
but 1t is also meant to convey the
nnely carved and artistically designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one md sometimes used instead OF
doors. But such screen must be in
The right place, and decorators have
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind OF
Green In the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and in modern
houses the screen is, to a certain ex-
tent. replacing the old-fashioned door
That Is to say, In house boasting OF
five rooms, and not In suburban villa
residence. BY the substitution of the
screen for the ordinary door a house

And that Is where the decorator tri-

Today the four leaf screen has per-

artistic conception, and in the exquis-
lite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau

For instance. for Louis XIV. draw

The latest Japanese screens are the
work OF artists who understand and
appreciate the blending OF the most
delicate and the MOST crude colors,
and the result il a masterpiece OF
needlework.
On dark background one design
represents a tall tree standing in a
meadow, and in the long grass are
seen tiny white wild flowers. In an
other panel there is a tree overlooking
pool, the branches casting deep
shadows in the water. The, framework
of the screen is lacquer.
Another beautiful screen represents
Mount Fujiyama and the Inland sea-
the rosy light reflected from the snow
clad peak shining on the water: beside
the lake. standing sentinel, there is a
tall tree, the light shining on the trunk
and turning It to green and gold. In
the water there are some white ducks
disporting themselves. Each panel of
this screen forms a complete picture.

Unfit.

Even the devout Tribune balks at
the Roosevelt suggestion that court
decisions be submitted to popular
vote to be affirmed or rejected. 1t
asks plaintively: why have a con-
stitution at all If the people may
vote at any time whether they will
abide by 1t or not?" Exactly. But
If the Tribune had carefully studied
the Osawatomie speech it would have
known that we have outgrown the
notion of constitutions and checks
and balances and all that nonsense
imposed upon us by the feeble-mind-
ed fathers Of the republic. History
counts for nothing. Experience is
worse than worthless because it is
misleading.
If the Tribune denies this, the Trib-
n is guilty of a characteristic and
peculiarly infamous falsehood. 1t is
unfit for the blessings of government
