broad and comprehensive, dealing
with principles aud laws of beauty

foundation value. Rooms on the
shady side of the house should be
papered with the warm colors whicE
reflect the rays of light and thus
bring as much sunshine as possible
into the room. The warm colors
are the browns, reds and yellows.
Rooms on the sunny side of house
should be papered in the cool colors
greens, blues and grays. Col
ore may be used to make a room APP
pear larger or smaller. Light col-
ors reflect the light and make a
room appear larger. Dark colors
absorb the light aud give the room
the appearance OF being smaller.

height Ceilings may be made to APP
pear lower by clever use of mould
ings and borders. In choosing colors
