MAKE HOMES PRETTIER
GOOD IDEA SOMETIMES TO TRY
NEW EFFECTS.
Change In Arrangement Of Furniture
Frequently VIII Work Wonders
"PrImness" Something That
Should be Avoided.

We will soon be putting our houses
In order for the winter, and many OF
us are Wishing we could achieve
some new effects or make our
homes prettier than they we're last
season, writes Barbara Boyd in the
Chicago Evening Post. But as we
are going to use exactly the same fur
nishings, we feel rather hopeless as to
securing any new or better results.
But we may be able to work quite a
transformation simply by change in
arrangement An interior decorator
Of repute has been talking lately upon
the value of lines. He says no room
will look its best If the lines Of the
furnishings all go the same way. This
does not mean they should go every
which way" as old-time housekeePers
used to say. But monotony should be
broken.
A room in which every piece of fur
nitiure is arranged primly around the
four walls will look better If sofa
is placed diagonally across a corner
or table set at right angles to the
other pieces of furniture.
Then every room ought to have
center Of some sort. If there Is
fireplace, this naturally becomes the
central point. Easy chairs are group
ed about it. a table with a reading
lamp, possibly a davenport.
But II there is no fireplace, and In
most houses there is none, some point
or some object should be made the
center. It may be a desk, table, the
piano, the sofa. But easy chairs
should be placed near and a reading
light handy. Such center gives
room a homeIIke, sociable air.
Then, too, the housekeeper who
wishes to give her home a dlfferent
air this fall may do so by regroupint
some Of the furnishings Perhaps she
can get a more harmonious colol
scheme by changing about some OF the
little fixings, such as sofa cushions
stand covers, small rugs, portieres
vases and bric-a-brac. Or she may
secure a much better effect by re
grouping some Of her pictures. Ant
It is Just possible she may make hei
rooms far more harmonious and ar
tistic by emitting altogether some o
the furnishings There may be som'
that Jar. that do not fit into the fur
nishing scheme Of any room. These
may be the very things that hav'
caused the dissatisfaction she hal
felt without exactly knowing wha
was the matter. Or the rooms may b.
overcrowded. and this may be tn
cause of the homes not looking as al
tistic and restful as she wishes.
Why not experiment along thes
lines when putting the house in orde
this fall? You may be able thereb.
to effect some changes that will be
delight to you all winter.
