Climax. of Women's

IL is rather annoying to reflect that the
party which was victorious at the recent

least work Mrs. j. Borden Hartman $

the absence OF Mrs. Hartman, its pres

the Democrats sailings erenely into Of

Progressives defeated.
IL must be said that never did any one

Republican women. ON Election night
when the bulletins favorable TO wilson
came IN fast and ever faster, did the Tart

In furnishing and refurnishing the house
the dining room should come in for some
very serious and deliberate consideration.
IT is apt to have a great deal to do with
the health. happiness and digestion OF
the whole family. 1t is essentially room
of rest, and suggests the idea OF SOFT
light. soft coloring and soft carpetng AZ
least, of such is the ideal dining room.
Whether this idea is carried out to the
extent IL might be or not by those VINO
prefer It, il is assuredly a strain on the
nerves to be CompelleS TO eat IN room
garisn with red paper and blazing, unpro-
tected lights. Whatever arguments may
be nut forth in favor Of the 'coseyness'
of such a room, practical reasoning VIII

the strongest constitution and injure the
best of eyes.
If we stop TO consider the fact that we
depend on food for our very existence, the
reason for having the dining room every
thing that it should be is self-eNdent.
A good picture may be utterly spoiled by
had framing, and the same rule applies
TO good meals. A garish, i'll made dining
room might well be compared to the res
taurants that we do not like.
| was asked not long ago what / con-
slider contributes to restfulness in room
and at the same time why l object TO
using much ornamentation in a dining
room. The restfulness in room is an
elusive quality. II is easy enough 10 OBJ
tain. but it is hard TO keep. our ten
dency to accumulate things is stronger
than our inclinations to simplify. But
simplicity is the first rule of restfuiness'
The objection to much ornamentation in
a dining room is therefore apparent.

table IL seems to be the inclination TO
allow comfort for the rest OF the family.
Small metal tips have recently come INTO
use on the feet OF the chairs, which great
ly facilitate pushing them TO and from
the table, even over thick rug or car
pet. This little invention is really worthy
of praise.
The size and style OF furniture must
depend on the shape and dimensions or
the room It is bought for; II one Is likely
10 move about much, that should also
be a consideration. Among the best re-
productions are the Sheraton and Adams
tyne Of furniture heading the list. These
are very similar In general character and
have probably retained their popularity
largely because OF the attractlveneBs and
practicability Of the buffets. The Shera-
ton chairs and tables are also charming
in design. Mission types are, many or
them, very good looking also, though they
NAV lack come of the elegance Of design
found in the older types.

a warm tone or cool tone. Grays, blues,
greens or browns that contain an inter-

the same way. grays, green's, browns
and mauves that have a blush cast are
called cool tones. With oak or yellowish
woodwork the cool tones are preferable.
