Pictures and Ornaments
tTo be cont,nued.,

In selecting pictures and ornaments
tho farther one gets from the COM
mercial favorites that have become
commonplace, and have consequent
ly been reproduced cheaply and badly,
the better. If you find yourself fol-
lowing along the beaten path and in
clined to admire and buy what is
popular at tho moment, try to cul-
tivate an individual taste by search
ing for something new and different,
something that the majority OF peo-
pie have not yet learned to appre-
ciate. That method II followed out
will make your home distinctive and
characteristic Of you alone.
