When Nilody Goes Shopping
Apersonal letter answered. 1t may help solve
many difficult problems. : :

these are some OF the things he is able
to do:
Twist and turn furniture to suit
the size and style OF each room. 1t
may be necessary to take piece from
the music room TO fit the reception
hall; it is quite possible that he may
switch your bedroom furniture; Oft
times he brings up a discarded chair
or odd piece from the basement to
be recovered and stained to match or
harmonic with other bits of scenery,
but when ne finishes one realizes that
it isn't dollars that make beautiful
homes but brain-a brain trained to
plan interior decorations.
But, first of all, be perfectly frank
with Mr. Decorator, and tell him ex-
actly how much you have to spend.
With this in mind, he does his work
more lntelligently, more efficiently,
and certainly more satisfactorily to
the housekeeper.
The woman with $500 to spend has
the same right to harmonies and artis-
tic decorations as the woman with
$4,000, and she has the same service
from the interior decorators if she
will but ask for him and be perfectly
frank in her dealings.
