woman who makes this excuse for an
unattractive home is utterly in the
wrong, and / hope through the me-
dunn of these talks to be able to make
1t clear to her.
One of the first things that she
must realize is that there Is as much
beauty in certain simple schemes of
furnishing and decorating as In the
most elaborate French style of roco-
CO art.
The real satisfaction to a critical
artistic sense is not SO much in the
quality of the thing used as it's pe-
culiar fitness for the place ASSIGNED
1t and its harmony in color and de-
sign with its surroundings In treat
ing OF dining rooms there are certain
general rules to be observer in their
decoration that it would be we'll to
speak of before going into detailed
schemes.
IN even the most unassuming house
the dignity OF this room should be
preserved. At the same time, we
should be careful In designing an
elaborate and expensive one not to il
overawing in the magniflcence of its
decorations or severe In its elegance,
for then psychologically the dining
rooEi Is ruined. 1t should be SO de-
signed as to promote to the utter
most the feeling of geniality and good
cheer, and the decoration can actually
go far toward furthering this most
desirable result.

DINING ROOM
BY MRS. McCuNE.

nLACING dress as the first and
most important medium to
charm the world individually
and collectively, I would say that the
fittings and furnishings of her house
afford woman her second opportuni-
ty. The responsibility for the archi-
lecture of his home is usually accred-
tied to the man, but on the woman
falls the onus of successful or un-
successful, an effective or an ineffec-
tive interior.
Her house, We may say, stands as
a background against which she shows
to her world; if 1t Is refined, il its
coloring is soft and harmonious and
IL 1t is unworried by useless and SUI
perfuous decorations, she Is cores
pondingly attractive to her friends.
Assuming that the woman is aware
of the fact, 1t often happens that she
Is uncertain what to do to attain this
result, though she may covet it. 1t
is my purpose in these articles on the
ethics of house furnishing to practic-
aIlv demonstrate the simplest ways in
which it may be accomplished. The
idea which obtains with many that
money is the only necessary requisite
to beautiful house is fallacy. The

WILD FLOWERS
BY EDNA EGAN.

AIOW Is the time for lovers OF the
IN shy wild flowers to invade the
haunts OF Nature and bear away
the lively blossoms to make u wild
garden. You can successfully trans
plant wild flowers II the proper soil
awaits them. They must also Be prom
erly shaded, for these children OF the
woodland depths do not thrive In the
brilliant sunlight.
The perfect location for a wild gar
den Is sunny nook bordering a
grove OF trees, so that the garden will
accommodate the flowers that reouire
sunshine as well as those which thrive
in the shade.
To prepare the soil for a wild gar.
den. dig out the earth to q deuth OF
one foot and spread over the bottom
q layer Of broken shells and ashes or
Of clay to depth Of three inches
Over this place good soil and leaves
and flll up the remaining space with
rich Leaf mold from the woods OF
florists.
Should the soil be naturally heavy
and rich. add several inches OF lea1
mold and allow stones to abound.
The flower garden should be raised
two inches above the surrounding soil
When the season for cleaning up ar
rivee, never remove the dead leaves
In the wild garden can be used
such beautiful plants a. bloodroot

yellow primroses also thrive In al.
most any soil.
Some nurserymsn sell packages OF
Wild flower seeds which, can be scat
tered In the wild garden, but after.
ward some Of the seedlings will have
to be tranSplanted.
-the-pulpit will thrive in dry
or damp soil where 1t 10 shady. Visit
the woods as soon as the weather per-
mits and dig up the plants before
they are very high above the soil. In
fact, all the wild plants should be
transferred to your garden while they
are yet young. II you follow this
suggestion, the plants will blossom In
your garden the first year.
The shrubs. such as laurel honey
suckle and rhododendron. should be
transplanted to the wild garden In
the fall If you do not wish to retard
their growth. All summer long you
can have a wealth Of bloom in the

Women who write like to talk to 9TH
er literary people. A man smokes
with another man and closes new
deals or thinks up new ones.
A business girl has little time at
her own disposal. She can't hunt up

afternoon, take walk on the bluffs
by the lake, in the clear, crisp air,
have a good talk and come back re-
freshed. She would love to, but she
can't afford it.
She has her personal friends. but
they are not often conyersant with her
conditions and work Nevertheless,
there are many times when she needs
discussion of her work, a general
clearing up Of her mind and inspira-
ton.
Aren't there a good many times

Business is opening more and more
widely to women. 1t is a strenuous
life for even the girl who takes II
lightly. Perhaps you come from the
country, where there was no chance
to do the things you wanted to do;
or maybe you are city girl, with q
pleasant home, or q room Ia q board
Ing house. Your business problems
are practically the same. but your
background Is different.
Sometimes we are SO busy In busi-
ness that we forget to remember the
warm, sunlit hill that wound up the
road between the trees. or the smell
of the bread as your mother took II
out Of the oven, or the blaze of q
cheerful wood fire on a winter night
The dear, homely things are what we
forget and 1t is the memory Of them
that we need most when we work all

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

BY the use of judiciously chosen color
touches the simplest frocks are often
saved from monotonous mediocrity. 1
have in mind tea frock of accordion
pleated white crepe de chine. The blouse
was quite plain, with fine chiffon rufiies
to relieve neck and sleeve ends, and the
skirt was made in two fiounces. The one
interesting note, sufficient in itself as q
saving grace. was a broad, gloriously
colored Roman striped sash, vivid and
glowing, with red and gold and green,
swathed about the waist and knotted in
back with long ends.
It was very clever and aptly illustrates
the point under discussion. And so in
many cases. if one has the eye for just
such redeerning color touches, the sue
cess of an otherwise uninteresung frock
or gown may be assured.
The model sketched holds manifest
possibilities along these lines. All sorts

Will find the peg-top or souave skirt the

With the present method of wearing
