The Art of Picture Hanging

usually wide expanse of wall space, Il
10 rarely possible 20 hang more than
one or two large pictures in the aver
age living room without giving II a
crowded art gallery" appearances, which
Is not conducive to restful comfort.
Small pictures are harder to hang, be-
cause there is such temptation 70
hang up foo many OF them The Japa-
nese dispose OF this problem in sensible
fashion. They hang only one or two
pictures In room at time, enjoy
them as long as they can. and then rs-
move them and place other pictures Ia
their stead However, II We must hang
sveral pictures In one room, We can
do so In good taste First. the pictures
should be hung near each other to form
a group. rather than being distributed
along the walls and giving q spotty ef-
feet The pictures should be hung only
a few inches apart. and the tops OF the
pictures should be on a straight line. II
some article OF furniture--a bookcase Or
cabinet or tablets directly under the
picture group. II gives a unity to that
special corner OF the room and adds to
It's general attractiveness.
The picture should not project forward
on top, as IL often done. hut should Oe

projects out OF the wall, instead OF seen.-

Importance OF saving. the early
forming OF the habit OF thrift.
There are many ways In which
the1e necessary lessons can be
taught. Different wise mothers use
the one most suited to her chill
dren. With some children the CIV
ing OF a small allowance solves the
way: with others the thought that
personal service IL always TO be paid
Tor In cash is an idea which has
to be dispelled.
Presents OF cash from relatives
also present a problem which causes
much concern In many household.
That the money belongs to the re-
cipient of the gift goes without say
ing. but II is foolish to allow a child
TO waste several dollars by fritter-
ing II away. Some mothers Insist
on the saving OF part OF such
money. and bank account In the
child's own name is the greatest in
centive to this.
The penny habit Is a fatal one to
digestion and thrift. IL n child
knows by teasing or cajoling ne can
obtain n penny every day or two ne
Is very apt to come TO regard money
a. a mere vehicle for his personal
desires. to attach no actual import
ance TO II as the medium which pro-
vides him with his regular food and
shelter.
There Is a dlgnihed way OF treat
ing the subject of family eNpendi-
ture, of allowing the child to see
where economy is necessary, where
the definite price OF a luxury or
necessity has to be taken into con-
sideration before the purchase -
made. there is @ definite lesson to
be learned In self-restraint when the
article Is not purchased because II
is beyond the means of the family
ON the other hand. the appearance
OF n sheaf OF bills long overdue, the
anxious discussion at the family
counsel as TO which creditor Is TO
be placated by payment. and which
nut on a little longer produces an
impression OH the mind OF child
playing about seemingly not inter-
ested in the topic under discussion,
which Is indelible.
Certain definite rules about money
can certainly be taught to our chill
dren. Certain standards by which
expenditures even of their small
finances can be controlled given
them.
As far as possible. let the older
people of a household refrain from
discussing the subject OF bills In the
presence Of the children.
IL we are able to form the habit
of saving for children. we will have
laid the foundation of future COM
fort which will mean more. than any
worldly goods we may be able TO
bestow,

I'D yol ever walk into an appat-
emily lovely room, but where
the pictures seemed fairly to
sti,k out OF the walls and al
most hit you? Some women think
they have exercised their estketic sense
and have done Their complete ahtist'c
duty by a room when they purchase
one or two expensive paintings and put
them on the wall, or when they line n
room with framed photographs Of
friends.
But the most beautiful picture can be
spoiled by poor framing and hanging
just as most beautiful girl buries het
lovellness under wrong colthes. Tho
framing and hanging of pictures Is an
art subject 20 some general rules. whien
make II possible for any one to do tho
work In good taste.
In the frst place, picture frame
should be 30 well chosen with relation
TO the picture that II is unobtrisive.
