alteration - As Substitute for
Ordinary Door q Perfect Color
Scheme May Be Devised.

As decorative adjunct to the IN,
terror the Japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and avaiIing
themselves OF the screen when plan
ming the furnishing of q house. And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be In a decorative scheme.
BY screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement,
but 1t is also meant to convey the
finely carved and artistically designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one find 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
screen 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
OF vistas is the result Long rooms
leading one from the other, the decora-
tion Of each so arranged that the color
scheme and furnishing seem to blend
artistically to form a perfect whole.
And that is where the decorator tri-
umphs.
Today the four leaf screen has per-
haps reached eliminating point In
artistic conception, and In the exquis-
ite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tlfnl examples which are made here.
For instance, for Louis XIV. draw
Ing room nothing could be more In har.
mon with the period than screen in
tapestry
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 is a masterpiece of
aeedlework.
On dark background one design
represents a tall tree standing in

Publicity

The man who wishes to COM

some method Of publicity. The
best to DO had is space in q news
paper. The merchant goes ut it in
a strictly business way. and buys
the newspapers goods. just rs the
public buys his own goods.
In many states the candidate for
Office is now obtaining publicity in
the same way. He III hire a rig,

be poor business judgment when
