one comes from New York and says
II is there everybody has mulberry.
Select your own color, the one you or
your family likes best and not because
Mrs, Smith, Jones or Robinson who has
irst returned from Paris or Boston
saws some color is fashionable. Color
is fundamental and like problem in
mathematics is right whenever proper
Iy solved. Choose your color keep
your design good and appropriate
keep the balance correct and your room
or home will be beautiful no matter
what color is your key note.
When | came here six years ago
nearly all homes were done in brown
tan walls brown hangings and brown
mixed rug Now brown is all right and
am not condemning it but it is not
right for everybody. When one wants
soft rose drapery they should use a
gray wall and .be sure the paper has
a tone of red and green in the gray.
At present there is a craze for plum
color or to be more scientific, red vio-
let. This is q good color but trying
one to many people and difficult one
10 work up to since few pictures, fab
rics or flowers are of this color. The
living room, where several people con-
gregate is best in a related scheme of
several colors. A one tone scheme is
often the result of lack of knowledge
in combining color.
The Austrian black and white fad
started by Hoffman is not good
scheme for home decoration Black
and white is the sharpest contrast
contrast known. Black is the absence
of all color and white the combination
of all colors hence the sharp contrast
and contrasts are not restful. l advo-
cate the black and white scheme for a
shop where hats or suits are shown
for it makes a good background for all
colors but it is not advisable in a
home. Also stripes! Every woman is
asking me for stripes and it will be
Overdone till no one will want stripes
even where they ought to be used in a
Louis XVI room or one done in the
Adam period. That is the pity of fads
and fashions. Some one thing becomes
the fashion and everybody uses it un-
til it becomes so common that it loses
all its attraction While if we studied
our individuality and carried out our
own individual color scheme, tried even
to get something different then we
would avoid the common place and
sameness of fashions decree and seek
the best-the color that means some
thing to each one. Study harmony al
ways and eliminate superfluOus things
but do not go the extreme and have a
home that feels barren. A home must
have many things, we live in it. 1t
must be harmonious in color and de-
sign, must be place for comfort and
rest and in every way prove the true
conception of home
A pleasant Hallowe 'en party was Civ

On Thursday evening the music and
elocution pupils Of Sacred Heart Acad
eny were presented in recital. The as
sembly hall was simply and prettily ar
ranged for the occasion, and was filled
with large and appreciative audience
despite the fact that it was the first
recital of the new scnool year and hat
not been publicly announced. The pro
gram opened with piano solo by Lenf
Huckestein, whose resolute and wei
rendered number gave fitting star
for those to follow. The severa
piano solos, intermilgled with the harp
vocal and elocution numbers and th'
violin and cello obligatos offered rart
and pleasing variety, that lends sucl
charm to a program of any kind, Will,
the able and beautiful rendition in eaci
case did ample credit to their efficien
training. The three recitations by tn,
eloeution pupils called forth much ap
plause. Each one seemed suited to tn,
speaker, each speaker suited to tn
part. Much credit is due to their abl
instructor, Mrs. Niemeyer, who, in $,
short time has produced such excel
lent results. The program which wa
brought to a close by the popular an,
highly applauded Academy quartet, fol
