PICTURE HANGING A FINE ART
Careful Study of the Possibilities
Should Be Made Before Com
mencina Work.

Picture hanging may become a fine
art, and, as in all artistic composition,
the general must precede the particu-
lar. You must first have a comprehen-
sive idea of your pictures and the
groups into which they fall by reason
of size, color end subject before you
can plan their hanging. Nor must
you hang any n picture on the wall
until in a general way you have men
tally hung them all.
If you have a long, narrow picture
and a short, broad n that seem to
belong together, place the long pic
ture two or three inches beneath the
other. This will give the impression
conveyed by q column and its capital,
of mass supported by slender strength.
In a long, narrow wall space such an
arrangement is particularly happy. In
general, hang smaller pictures below
larger.
Pictures should usually be on or
zhcrtly above the level Of the eye. Ger

USE AND ABUSE OF CORSET
Tight Lacine Has Always Been Con-
sidered One Of the Worst Foes
of Feminine Beauty.

At the root of the Ills to which
feminine flesh is heir is incorrect
~corseting and tight lacing. These are
by no means synonymous terms. One
may be incorrectly yet loosely corset
ed, says Harriet Edwards Fayes, in
Woman's World.
Today it is the exceptional woman
who laces her corset so tightly that
her figure assumes an unnatural con-
tour. Ten years ago many women did.
This improvement is to some degree
TO the credit of the wearers of ~corsets,
but to a still greater degree it is to
the credit of corset manufacturers and
the mandates of fashion. Women who
have just regard for their health and
beauty realize that the normal waist
measurement is an important adjunct
thereto. This is proved by the fact
that all ready-made garments are two
inches larger around the waist than
hey were two years ago. which means
that most women who used to wear a
% corset now wear a "a, and so on
through the different sizes.
Leading physicians all admit that
women require support fer the alb
domen. Support is entirely different
from suppression. If the abdomen is
suppressed, a lot of trouble is brought
on, the first sign of which is consti-
cation. More depends upon the colon
than most people are aware of, even
some physicians. The direct results
of restricting the action of the colon
are weakness, insomnia and dyspep-
STA; the indirect results are too numer-
GUS to mention and would be super

TO KEEP NEcKwEAR FRESH

lars and Ruches-

To keep your neckwear smooth and
fresh when travelling with a suit case,
put such things between the differ
ent leaves of a magazine, which takes
up less room than a box and is very
convenient when removed to the dress
er drawer. 1t is specially suited 10
Numbered neckwear and ribbons.

lars and ruches may be made remov-
able. Instead Of sewing the ruch or
collar into the neck Of the dress, sew
snaps every two or three inches along
the facing Of the neckpiece and the
corresponding parts at equal distances
on the neck of the dress. In this wayI
a neckpiece may be quickly trans
ferred to another dress, or taken off
when a dress is hung in the wardrobe
or packed in a suit case.

USES FOR THE SCREEN
VALUABLE BOTH AS ORNAMENT
AND FOR SERVICE.
Probably at Its Best in the Bedroom
Suggestion Shown in the Draw
ing Is Well Worth Taking
Note OF.

While the screen is useful and ap-
propriate in many rooms, l might say
that in the bedroom it is at its best.
Here there are so many uses to which
1t may be put, and it's decorative val
ne is in no way impaired, writes Ethel
Davis Seal in the Washington Star.
/ have in mind a bedroom of one Of
my acquaintance. The single French
bed is of ivory, with cane insets. The
bed springs are upholstered in white
grounded bird-of-paradise ~cretonne,
and the bed is further fitted out with a
daytime ~bedspread of the c~retonne,
and a cover for the bolster roll. The
floor is covered with an exquisite small
figured blue-andivory Wilton rug, and
thew walls are papered in a pale robins
eye blue. The ivory-colored furniture
Is upholstered in chintz-the cane
seated wall chairs, having tie-on chintz
cushions! And the screen, which is
placed just at the head of the bed, Is
one of those attractive window" af-
fairs, with panes of glass inset at the
top. The wooden frame is enameled
in ivory and filled with the bird-of-
paradise c%retonne. You can see that
this screen fits admirably into the
scheme of things. And it is a lovely
thought to be protected against the
evening draft or the morning light by
anything SO beautiful.
Such a screen may be seen in the
drawing. 1t is shown in connection
with a French stool. The wide mid
die panel is an especially pleasing
feature. For a bedroom the lower
panels could be filled with cretonne
or some such material, while, if the
screen were to be used in a room not
quite so formal, such as a semi-recep-
lion room, the filler might be of very
heavy upholsterer's silk ornamented
with decorative basket designs in en-
broidery. For a boudoir, personal sit
ting room or semi-reception room, the
screen should usually be more hand

being quite appropriate.

The wise physician raises his voice

can take its place for moment. A

them. No one cares what he

4 STUDENT JOKE.
Conspiracy Of Silence That Put Che
Professor In q Panic.

r. essor Elias Loomis for many
year occupied the chair OF astrono
my at Yale and was the author OF
the well known series of mathemat-
ical text books.
Professor Loomis repe~ted each
year to the Junior class a course of
lectures on physics. The lectures
were illustrated by experiments,
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle of the well
known air gun.
The students of each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
side of the room remote from the
platform small target. After ex-
planning the operation of the gun
Professor Loomis was in the habit
of landing three of its projectiles
with mathematical accuracy IN the
center of the bullseye.
The professor was always ap-
plauded for this feat, but his grim
face, covered by a tightly drawn
skin of parchment hue, never show
ed the slightest sign of qualification
or recognition of any kind. To him
it was apparently only a scientific
experiment to be exactly demon
strated.
One class of juniors, however,
who had learned Of the immemorial
incident from the then seniors, at
tempted a little experiment of
their own, the subject being mathe-
matical and scientific human ns-
ture.
! Three puffs from the air gun, and,
although the students saw that tie
bullseye was perforated al usual,
there was not sound OF applause
Professor Loemis looked a moment
at the class in a startled way, then
at the target, and then, with a de-
gree of emotion be had never be-
fore shown, exclaimed:
'Didn't it hit?> Didn't it hit!
Didn't it hit ?"
! A roar cf laughter, followed b.
even more than the usual applause,
showed the professor that he hs4
not lost his mathematical accuracy.
