use, mirror in the upper part and a
console in front Of the door may dis
guise it.
Conventional piano cases may mar
the setting of the room, but now every
detail Of period furnishing can be
found in the piano cases. The historic
period, Adam, miniature Colonial,
modern English or Louis XIV or XVI
are all easily obtained.
Victrolas too, are encased in lacquer
or period designs, Victrolas, like tea
wagons, may be wheeled from one
room to the other to suit your pleas
ure.
The daring use of color and a de-
liberate mixture of furniture, is one
OF the modern tendencies. A living
room done in tan. black. rose and gold
is most artistic. The rugs are tan
with wide black border. and the
| wall paper is gold and rose grass
cloth: The furniture is English ma
hogany upholstered in japanese chintz
with a black background and rose
design. -..
A Japanese lacquer cabinet gave an
| artistic touch and different lamps
added to the charm. Low foot stools,
I tables here and there, growing plants
and mirrors were placed so as to get
away from the Consequences of the
room.
Have an idea Of use in your dining
room. 1t should not take a second
glance to decide just what room it is,
though between meals something of
living room may be obtained by
comfortable chairs, couch and gay
table covering. Preference for wall
nut and mahogany is especially noted,
but there is no end to the painted
furniture so much in vogue.
A William and Mary suite of ma
hogany finished in the authentic an
tiQue color is combined with cane and
delicately carved. The china cabinet
is raised quite high from the floor and
has a silk fabric back. Cabinets with
the china hidden behind closed panels
are also greatly favored. The chairs
have English cane backs upholstered
in broad striped velour. Hair cloths
are also adaptable for upholstering
dining room chairs-then there is a
ance of velvet.
Corner cupboards add quaint as
pect to the dining room. There is a
beautiful finish in fumed antique blue
or gray furniture which has a surface
of such exquisite lustre that you In
voluntarily want to touch 1t.

Chiffoniers are best liked without
mirrors. A chiffonrobe, or gentle
mans wardrobe has been placed on
the market which is a joy to the man.
The old Colonial four poster, after
long siesta, has revived popularity.
Low slipper chairs are counted among
the boudoir adjuncts. A writing desk
and dressing table combined is a
double space saver. Draft screens
harmonizing with the room allow q
free current OF air without dread OF
catching cold.

blue carpet and glazed chintzes and
flower and bird design is surely dar-
ing. In this room two little gray
French commodes joined by q top OF

which was a low needle work chair.

Enameled furniture. absolutely wat

covered in fancy cretonnes, rightly be-
long to the porch. There are limitless
ways to convert the porch into q
sleeping room. At nightfall a stand
ing hammock can be changed into q
bed without as much giving q sug-
gestion Of its intentions. The outdoor
haven is not complete without tables,
magazine racks, tea tables, book
racks and all those things that add to
the pleasures Of coy comfort.
The new tea tables with seats in
the curve OF its arm and a tete-a-
tete table between them, adds q fas-
cination all its own to the rite of the
tea The Windermere fan chair with
an hour glass is frequently found on
the porch. A willow window box with
an arch for the vines to trail is an
acceptable porch acquisition.
Deep awnings give a sense of ex-
clusiveness besides protection from
the glazing sunlight. .
Curtains.
The length OF the curtain is gov
erned somewhat by the construction
Of the window. In making curtains
allow about inches for net and wolfe
curtains and 8 for scrim for shrinkage
in laundering. Valanced curtains
come all ready to hang in dotted mus
lin, striped etamine, scrim or wolfe.
Hemstitc.led curtains to match the
color scheme Of the room have made
their debut. Printed English linenss
striped in new color combinations,
many new designs of cretonne, case
ment cloth. cotton tapestries, silk taf-
feta in pink, blue, yellow, green or
blue, with silver stripes and many
materials imbued with Japanese style,
and damasks of Italian extraction in
antique effects are but a few of the
numberless array OF drapery fabrics
displayed to claim your attention.

COLOMBIA should BE Paid,

Brooklyn Standardization: Colombia
is the only victim Of our expansion.
When we took the Louisiana territory
we paid France $15,000,000 for 1t. When
we took Florida we paid Spain $5,000,-
900 for it. When we took Texas. New
paid Mexico $15,000,000 for them; and
I'VE years later, wanting to run the
boundary of Arizona and New Mexico
q little further south we paid Mexico
again $10,000,000. When we took the
Philippines and sealed the conquest by
the blood of American youths, we paid
Spain $2O,000.000 for them.
We never have paid Colombia cent.
And we were under an express
sovereignty over the Isthmus of Pa
mama. To add insult to injury, few
years ago we offered treaty to CO.
lombia, haggling down their claim
from $25,000,000 to $15,0O0.000 Though
we are the richest country in the
world, and Colombia is one of the
poorest, we adopted pushcart bargain
ing tactics; Colombia had self-respect
enough to refuse.
The sum which would be satisfactory
to Colombia for the isthmus of Pa
mama, key to the worlds commerce. is
no more than that which we have Just
pressed upon Denmark for some tiny
islands in the Caribbean. The "apol-
ogy," so called, by which we express
regret for the offense justly taken by
Colombia, is no less than an absolute
we do not want to be classed with
those powerful nations that rob the
weaker.
Senators, and especially Republican
senator's, should be ashamed not to
ratify the Colombian treaty at once.

husband works steady and tries TO
get along, but he never wants to give
me money. He was quite good to me
for a long time, but now he has
changed and he is bitter. He hasn't
any bad habits, but he says sneerIng,
mean things to me. which hurt my
feelings very much. I feel down
hearted most of the time when ne is
around. As for me. I try to help him
save and I am as good to him as
can be. What would you advise me
TO do? LONESOME.
You are broodine about your hus-
bands treatment Of you. and SO when
he says an unkind thing it cuts very
deeply. You must back your evenings
with your husband with cheerful
thoughts instead Of morbid ones. He
feels your unhappiness, and. man-like,
only adds to il. Get out in the open
air more if you have 10 neglect your
homework 10 do it, You and your
little boy could go out together and
have some very happy times together

Never nag or complain to your
husband When he says something

ashamed than anything YOU say. /.
