Every woman thinks she has an
Unborn talent for decorating and
furnishing home. but when you
see n good many OF them you know
these same women have another
guess coming. II is not easy 10
strike Just the right mean between
furnishing that is artistic and
pleasing TO the eye and also com.
Portable and livable for every day.
I hate house that looks like a
curiosity or an antique shop.
Period rooms. that are so fashion.
able today, seem cold TO me. and |
think home must look like the
person who lives In II most.
am not going to have any cur
tains or hangings so good that
Dick win be afraid to smoke In
the rooms. am not going to
have sofa so far away from the
lamp or the window that one can.

ingless gimcracks lying about on
tables. mantels and bookcases to

a table. a couple OF chairs and my
writing desk on our inclosed perth,
and l am going 10 have them all

happened to meet Mrs. Bill
Tenney yesterday. and some way
we fell talking on this same sub
ject while We were drinking tea in
n department store. told her how
felt about the sunshine. and she
said: Il don't feel as you do about
nature, Mrs. Waverly. don't
think she has any maternal sympa-
thy. even II she gives maternal
nourishment.
"The seasons come and go. In
June the roses bloom. and in De-
cember the landscape Is covered
with its coat Of glittering snow. 1t
makes no difference II your dear
est and best is lying out there
under the sod. the roses flaunt
their color and fragrance with the
same joyousnes as they do when a
wedding party Is crossing the
churchyard.
II am fond OF a rainy day." she
continued, "as one OF the greatest

them up In n corner and gloat over
them. God pity the woman that
has none OF these memories. and
God pity tho woman who, through
vain regret and tears cries out.
God HEP me to forget" That is
