The Question of Pictures.

trom Good Housekeeping
The fndiscriminate hanging of pic
lures which has been SO long the
vogue Is much to be deplored A pic
ture that is intrinsically good. and
bears relationship to other things of
interest, can always be used. but there
are many pictures used to fill up space,
or because they have beautiful frames,
and not because the subject is appro-
pirate or the picture itself is good If
one has no pictures to start with, good
photographs of old masters or old col
ored prints are interesting.
The decorative quality of a picture
is enhanced by the right background.
the height at which it is hung and its
juxtapostion to other pictures A
modern picture is usually out Of place
antique picture has not a good setting
in strictly modern room. 1t is, in
deed a special talent to know just
how much a decorative object really
decorates. TO crowd the walls. even
with very beautiful things, IS to fall
far short in artistic taste. Unless it
is an exhibit where all things of q GER
tain type or class are to be kept to-
gether, proper space should be allowed
it's full decorative value.
The heightenng or lowering of cell
ingS can be accomplished effectively
by the use of picture molding. In q
low ceilinged room the picture molding
should be placed within two inches of
the top; in high ceilinged room
eighteen inches to three feet is a good
height

what Charles F. Cahalane. inspector of

his book on Police Practice and Proce-
dure. as follows:
"A policeman is required to have
number of qualifications He must be
strong, because he will be called upon
to handle all kinds Of people fleet
footed. because he will be expected at
times to overtake a fleeing culprit
courageous, because he must stand
ready at all times to sacrifice his life in
carrying out the functions of the de-
partment; tall, because it will be neces-
sary for him to see what is going on
about him. sometimes over the heads of
a crowd.
Unless he is observant however, he
may possess all these qualifications and
still be almost useless a poiicema n.
In ten years. he may not be called upon
courage, but he is constantly called
upon to use his powers of observation
