GOOD TASTE IN
HOME FURNISHING
Nothing So Unimportant That Its
Selection May Be Treated Care
lessly---Afte All It's the Small
Accessories That Count.

7HHE small furnishings of a room
are the things that furnish it.
The wall covering may be In
the most approved Of neutral
tones, the floors may be faultlessly
finished, the rugs may be exquisite
and in impeccable taste. and the furni-
ture may be the product of careful
workmanship and careful choosing.
Even the pictures on the wall and the
lights may be faultless, and yet the
room in question will lack a certain
air of completeness unless a few OBJ
jects, vaguely termed Ornaments be
included in it's furnishings.
overfurnished Rooms.
Fortunately the day for overfurnish-
ed rooms has passed. Some of our
bedrooms and boudoirs, it is true, have
too many cushions and bags and boxes
OF silk and gliding and flowers and
dolls heads about. But usually rooms
that make any p%retense at being well
furnished are simple.
When the simple in interiors sue
ceeded the ornate and crowded period,
when rugs on bare floors took the
place of carpets that reached to the
corners, when draperies were tighten
ed and many small brackets and cary
ed shelves for ornaments were SEN to
the attic, anything that spelled sim
plicity spelled likewise ucces Things
could not be too simple to please us.
Artistic New Pottery.
So many kinds of artistic pottery
may be found today at a moderate
price that the choice of pieces for
even the modest home is very wide.
There are so many attractive ma
terials which may be used for table
coverings that one often wonders why
we ever see ugly things in use. Pieces
of old brocades or rich embroideries
may be picked up at very reasonable
prices at upholstery shops in the dull
seasons. and if bound with wide dull
gold braid are charming either as mats
or runners or regular covers.
Pretty Table Covers.
Oblong and oval pieces of plain We
l0urs lined with a soft felt are always
satisfactory, and for small tables the
Japanese mats, with their rich blues,
green's and Colds, or strips of Japanese
embroidery are most effective.
For the little colonial sewing table
in the bedroom what could be o
appropriate or attractive than an old
fashioned sampler, with its soft bits
Of color? In many rooms nothing
could be more In keeping than an art
unn made of coarse crash or linen
and either stenciled or heavily EN-
broidered at the ends.

as an essential part of every mans life.
The quality of simplicity is a great part
of his strength; he stands for elemental
things. That men should be decent
and fair to one another and to Christ is
the plea running through all his utter
ances. He is tremendously conserva-
tive in his theology and always in
earnest. He has a gift of homely
speech that barbs truth and makes it
enter aud slick. All his u%tterances are
vivid. His epigrams are not of the
hyper-polished literary type. They are
of the homely and beloved Lincoln sort
that make people remember. That he
is a marvellous preacher is beyond
question albeit of an entirely new fash
ion.
Old time followers of baseball re
member Billy Sunday as being one of
the best ball players of his age. He
played baseball a number of years and
quit the sport because of his love of
preaching Gods gospel and determine
tion to help others. Connie Mack, the
noted manager of the Athletics, was
asked his opinion of Sunday. He said:
Baseball lost one of its stars when
Billy Sunday gave up the game to be-
come a preacher. But | am ure his
leaving baseball was for the best. Sum
day has done more good for the world
than he can ever be paid for. Billy
Sunday is the man of the hour. Heis
on the lips of everybody and the men
in baseball circles think a lot of him.
They are proud to say that he was once
a professional ball player, for while he
was playing the game he did a lot to
raise the standard of the game. l knew
Sunday when he was a member of the
Chicago White Sox as a ball player.
From the time the game started until
1t was wei Billy was always on his
toes and his head was always up. He
was full of ginger. and | can see the
ball player in him in the pictures that
have been taken in the pulpit"
In closing the writer wishes to state
that an effort has been made to pen an
article that would be worthy of reading
by the folks cat home," and n that
is Interesting enough to fill the columns
of the JOURNAL. 1t is next to imIos-
sible to tell all about Billy Sunday and
his wonderful deeds. l have made a
gallant effort to picture the preacher
and tell of his wonderful personality,
and the writer in closing desires to
state that a visit to the city and the
tabernacle will convince anyone that
the Rev. William Ashley Sunday is a
parsonage worthy of much praise and
a man who has accomplished almost
the impossible.

The school Site c

r. w. Ryan asks the Journal TO
publish the following opinion by a
prominent lawyer: !.
"The question as to the right Of the
city to use the land opposite the station
for a high school building is probably
open 10 some question.
The Courts of our State have been
very strict in holding that where a
pi, ce of property is dedicated TO public
use as a park or square it cannot there
after be used for any other purpose,
even with the consent of the municipal
ity.
They have also held that the mark
ing of a piece Of property on a map
with the designation ~''square" or park
and afterwards making sales of other
lots by reference to this map constitute
a dedication OF the land in question
for park purposes.
The leading case in New Jersey is
the trustees of the M. E. church VS.
Hoboken, 80 N. j., Law ID. In that
case a map had been made in which a
certain piece of ground was designated
as a "squafe;'' some forty years after
wards q portion of this property was
sold and a Methodist church built upon
it. About ten or twelve years after
the church had been built the city
brought an action Of ejectment, claim
ing that the property could only be
used as an open square. The Supreme
Court decided in favor of the city,
and held that the city nor any one else
could use the property for any purpose
inconsistent with the original PLAN"
