one or two large chairs found
home. When the library was pop
Ular with the whole family, the
screen vanished from sight; when
only one or two members wished
TO read. the screen appeared. Oc-
caSionally the dining room diSap-
peared completely. for the younger
son and daughter delighted in as-
sembling every one. they knew for
nondescript affairs, generally known
as parties" and at such times
every inch Of room was in use. Thus
the screen became a family institu-
ton. and formal divisions OF rooms
wholly a matter Of preference.
Screens deserve far more popu-
larity than they enjoy in the aver
age home, for their decorative value
is as apparent as is their usefulness
A screen can be made to carry out
the color scheme OF room, or il
can add the one vivid note Of con-
trast which makes the color har-
mony most effective. For example,

room whose hangings were of dainty
chintZ. a three-fold screen was used
which was covered with the same
material. The frame Of each panel
was divided into a top and bottom

upper halves of the panels. at the
back Of the screen. broad tapes were
fastened, with hooks attached. and
here were kept wells, gloves, and

family realized that they could not

all the time.
