no classes Men sometimes set them
selves above their fellows because of
wealth or lineage, but in the eyes of
the law we are ALI free and equal. The
highest positions in the land are open
alike to rich and poor. There is no
barrier outside of himself to the

comfortable in themselves, the chairs,
some easy and luxurious, others small
and easily moved about, a stool or
two, several small tables which can
be placed in odd corners, a good sized
center table for books, papers and
magazines, davenport or couch
which is not too high nor too deep,
desk for writing notes and keeping
the household accounts, and so on.
This is, of course, the most impor-
tant part of our work and will re-
quire our most careful consideration.
And, second only in importance to
choosing the various pieces of furni-
ture, is their arrangement.
Convenience plays an important
part in comfortable arrangement. Let
US start with the living room table.
In placing the table, we must consider
the fact that it forms a nucleus
around which the other furnishings
are assembled. On this table are
placed the papers and magazines, the
books and the reading lamp, the OBJ
jects which are in constant use during
the hours In which the family or
friends are assembled. II should

dows face, do they admit an abund-
ance of light, or are they small so
that the room is dark on winter daysi
What IS the finish Of the woodwork,
and what character of furniture is to
be placed in the room?
Let US take for instance, the room
with Northern exposure. North light
is cold light, and we should make
every effort to create a warmth of
atmosphere within the room by choos-
ing the warm colors-golden-browns,
yellows or soft reds. 1t would be
mistake to decide on green, blue or
gray, as they invariably create a cold
atmosphere. Again, if the windows
are small and do not admit much
light, we should choose the bright
colors which will reflect the light as
much as possible. The color Of the
woodwork should be taken into con-
sideration. II white or ivory paint Is
used, the heavy dark colors should be
avoided as white woodwork usually
suggests the lighter tones. If the
dark colors are used, the contrast is
usually too striking. The heavy
colors may be successfully Used In
room with dark stained trim.

for the walls. another for the hang

ITO furnish room successfully we
i must consider il as whole.
The indiscriminate choosing of odd
furnishings will never lead to success.
In selecting the rugs, the hangings,
the wall covering, and the furniture,
let us keep the fact well in mind
that they are to constitute the fur
nishings for single room, that there
must be the element of harmony ex-
isting between them if the final result
Is to be successful. If space per-
mitted, the subject of harmonious
furnishings could be exhaustively
treated from a theoretical point of
view, but little practice will be of
far greater assistance than all the
theories we could put forth. Com
nonsense will be an excellent guide
linked with certain quality of the
Imagination which win prevent cur
rooms from being dull and common
place
Many living rooms are unsuccessful
in their decorative schemes because
the furnishings are chosen indiSrim-
inately. As we choose each individual
object, let US consider the fact as TO
whether it is appropriate for the
room and whether II will harmonize
with the other furnishings. We will
learn this by constant observation of
other successfully furnished rooms.
Next to experience, observation 10 our
best teacher. Take as an example,
a successfully furnished living room
of one of your friends. Note the
colors used, whether the curtains are
figured or plain, what kind of a rug
has been used on the floor and the
general arrangement and design of
the furniture. You need not copy
the room but you will begin to un-
consciously grasp the fundamental
ideas which are expressed there.
These ideas will help you, and al
though your taste may be quite diff
ferent, you will begin to reason out
your own problems in an intelligent
manner.
The living room may be called the
rendezvous for all members of the
household and in consequence, we
have many points to take into careful
consideration in its furnishing. Prob
ably the most important of these is
comfort, for the living room; no
matter how charming it may appear
in its general scheme of decorating,
is never successful unless it is COM
fortably furnished.
By comfortably furnished do not
mean that one has merely to choose
easy chairs, for we must go much
further than this. To obtain this
degree of comfort in the furnishings,
we must consider our problems from
many points of view and reason them
out in practical and intelligent man.

seems appropriate for the room. do
not be afraid to let it be known that
blue was your choice Combine with
it golden-brown chair, dull yellow
lamp shade, an orange colored pillow
or two. Keep the large upholstered
pieces in soft, quiet, colors and one
of the smaller chairs may be quite
gay in color. By accentuating the
bright colors in the smaller objects,
our rooms viii never appear dismal
or dreary.
The proper lighting of the living
room is Just as important as the
choosing of good color scheme or
the selecting of harmonious furnish
ings. The lighting fixtures in the
average room are placed far too high.
The old-fashioned center chandelier
was without question, the most
abou1inable feature that has ever been
created. Because of the necessity of
placing the globes above the head line,
a glare of light was thrown in an
upward direction. This is Just the
reverse of what it should be. Every
light IN any room should be properly
shielded by shade and the hatt
thrown down. Lamp light is the
most agreeable because it Is low light
properly shielded, particularly 50
when the shades are in soft colors. I
would like to advise the use of lanp
light IN every living room. and only
lamp light. II side lights are used,
they shouid not be placed higher thAs
SIX feet from the floor, or lower.
The style of furnishings which We
choose depends almost entirely upon
our perSonal taste. All the we'll
known styles are good and to state
preference would merely be a per
sonal point. We should, however,
take the geieral style of the house
into eoosiderstion before choosing the
furuishmgA II, for instance, the
house h Colonial in design and the
woodwork throughout Is white, this
fact alone suggests mahogany furni-
ture. The combination of oak furni-
ture and white woodwork Is seldom
harmonious and should be avoided.
There arc many styles made In mahog-
any, suitable for white painted rooms
and II we use discrimination In our
selections, pieces of various styies
may be successfully assembled. We
no longer buy sets of furniture for
the living room The old idea that
each piece should match It's neighbor
Is entirely dispensed with. Keen m
mind the fact that the various pieces
are to be used in the same room, that
some harmony should exist between
them and we cannot 20 far wrong.
Oak furniture Is suitable for rooms
with stained woodwork. Many of the
designs with twisted legs and cane
panels, which have become 90 popular
IN recent years, are especially sftrac-

ing all figured papers in the living
rooms, as they are unrestful. Tans,
ivories, putty colors or grays are sue
cessful wall tones and any one of
them may be successfully used
throughout the house. As rule, the
walls should be kept light and our
color contrasts will come in the hang
ings, rugs, furniture coverings, lamp
shades, cushions and pillows, in fact,
in all objects which might be termed
the properties of the living room.
In the small objects, such as a pill
low, a piece of pottery or a lamp
shade, let US not be afraid of the
really brilliant colors. Touches of
br' liant color invariably add life to
any room. Unfortunately, most of
our rooms are sadly lacking in this
respect and appear dull and dreary

ter of the room. Several arrange
ments are successful. dependent upon
the general shape and size of the
room. If the table is oblong in shape,
it may be placed at right angles to
the fireplace toward one end of the
living room. The davenport could
then be placed opposite with the floor
space clear in front of the fireplace.
Another good arrangement, and one
that is very popular in small living
rooms, is to place the table directly
at the back of the davenport, as
SHOWN in illustration No. /. This is
a good space-saving arrangement for
small rooms, for by combining the
two largest pieces of furniture, il
makes the most of the limited floor
space. In square rooms, the daven-

An important cqnsideration in the
decorating and furnishing of the liv-
ing room is good color scheme. A
preference for a particular color in
some cases decides this point, but be-
fore our de sion is made, we should
