The woman who is having a read
justment of her furniture will do well
to consider the value of screen as a
decorative adjunct.
American architects are making the
screen do duty for the door to a con
siderable extent. The effect Is one or

for length of vista is the result. Long
rooms leading into one another are
decorated In schemes which blend
tremendously, and the result is an
airy and delightful whole.
In a certain house recently lined
prettily for a bride, a lovely screen
was the feature of a mauve-toned sit
ting room. 1t was in dull black cloth,
which formed a perfect background
for the scene depicted, tall purple and
white iris growing in a pool, the tall
spiky leaves being so wonderfully per
feet, and the flowers so wonderfully
worked as to make one doubt whether
it could be embroidery. Over the pool
lowered a solitary bird with a red and
blue head and a long red bill, which
gave the little touch of color which
the picture needed.

There are two alternatives in set

which cacao growing for export Is an estaohsneu

Ia may be prophesied that the time Is coming
when the supply of cacao will not equal tne oe-
mand While there are untouched areas IN Iauh
America. in Africa and the East Indies, yet this
area is rather sharply defined and by nature Inn

by merely looking at the map, for the climatic

cessful plantations Probably America has larger
resources Of virgin land than the rest OF the EARTH
and will always hold the lead in production This
should surely be the case If improved methods OF
cultivation and transportation increase the yield
and the profit from the crop.
The area for cacao production, as has been stat
ed. is limited while population is growing at
rapid rate and in addition the value OF cacao Is
becoming recognized with greater clearness each
year. AS is the case therefore, with other great
staples of the world-for cacao must now be con-
sidered an agricultural saple-like meat, wheat,
corn and cotton the price is slowly rising as
larger food supply must be gathered for the
worlds needs. BY the middle of the century the
result may be expected that the supply will be as
proportionately meager in relation to population
as 1t at present appears to be ample.
Existence on a cacao plantation can be health
full and pleasant; 1t Is tropical life, but the sur
roundings may be made thoroughly agreeable, and
the reward can surely equal the amount Of energy
