Hanging the
Pictures
BY ELIZABETH PORTER WYCKoFF

MA |HEN you have laid your rug, placed
wv your chairs, and your wallpaper is
just right, look out that you don't
spoil your room by hanging the pictures badly
so many beautiful rooms are absolutely
spoiled by bad hanging of good pictures Try
to keep either the lower line of the frames
or the upper line Of the pictures approx
mately on a level all around the room. A
much better effect is obtained in this way
than by considering each wall separately.
Above all, in the dining room, living room,
or any other place where people usually are
seated, do not have your pictures so that they
too high to look at comfortably across
the room from chair.
In reception hall or passageway, IL you
must have pictures, they should be at the
height of the average persons eyes when he
is standing. But if you have so many that
in order to use them all some would nave
to be "skied" put some away. You can
bring them out later and change. There is
no commoner mistake than to feel that all
wall spaces, even over doors and grand
pianos, must be filled. Wall decoration is not
like filing postcard album. Use your blank
spaces to rest the eye and direct It to the
really interesting picture spots.
After you have your pictures hung 90 an&
sit in every chair in the room and see how
every wall looks from every angle. You are
being nhospitable if the room Is charming
from the table at which you yourself habitu-
ally serve your tea and less interesting from
the places where your guests will sit
People nowadays do not mix the different
kinds Of pictures as they did a few years ago.
You will find that by grouping your foreign
photographs in one hallway, your etchings and
Japanese prints in another room, your single
oil painting or. two all by themselves, your
pictures will every one of them gain enormous
y This is not separating things, YOU file
your correspondence for the sake of mere tidi-
ness. 1t is done because rich, deeply
colored oil painting, for example, will kill the
loveliest pencil sketch or etching in the world.
In other words, keep your mediums more or
less together-heavy effects h enc Enpn
Lighter touches IN another. -. y

pie way is to soak the back of the plaster with
oil, which destroys it's surface adhesiveness.
1t is often necessary to remove dressing OF
this kind very gently 50 as not to tear apart
the tender formation of new flesh
If it is not advisable to put the adhesive
plaster directly upon the wound, as in the
case of burn or ragged cut, The proper
dressing may be applied first, covered with
absorbent cotton or gauze, and fastened in
place with strips Of adhesive reaching clear
across. It is very important to protect
wound Of any kind properly, as many a case

~ nee upon a time a plaster meant a

stick, and if you put it on too soon it burned
Usually the hot melted plaster dropped just
when you didn't want it. No wonder that
plasters went out Of fashion for time! They
were such a nuisance.
They were however, too useful to stay
in the background indefinitely and much
money and time we're spent to improve them.
To-day plaster making has become an art, and
what is known az surgeons adhesive plaster
is in common, everyday use, because it is so
convenient, inexpensive and adaptable to
numberless purposes

The Art of
Plaster Making

The very finest grade Of rubber is kneaded
and purified by mechanical and chemical proc
esses and finally mixed by means of great
machines with suitable antseptics. Some anti
septics not suitable, for they are of an
irritating nature. Zinc oxide is non-rrita1-
ing and soothing, and is commonly used
blended with the India rubber.
When the mass is just at the right consist
ency another machine spreads it upon sterl-
lied cloth Great rollers pass over it and
press it out TO uniform thickness The broad,
cloth backed pieces now stretched upon
long tables and by means Of sharp knives
cut into strips of the required widths Those
wound upon tin spools, wrapped in paraf-
fin paper, then slipped into neat pasteboard
or tin boxes to protect them further. 1t has
taken a great deal Of skill and experiment to
learn Just how much Of each ingredient to use
in order that the plaster will pull readily of
the spool and yet adhere firmly to any surface
10 which it may be applied.

Now, cnese containers are salvage purely;
small cod-cream jars, bottles in which come
mayonnaise dressing, jars for anchovy paste,
dried beef containers, earthenware custard
cups Or small earthen bowls picked up at the
and 10 cent stores if one must buy them;
anything that is glass or glazed earthenware,
with or without lids anything that is small,
from an eighth to quarter pint, enough for
breakfast marmalade or dessert with cake or
cheese.

How to
Do 1t

And now for the method of making these
"plck-me-up' preserves, sealed in lidDess jars,
with paraffin for their covering. They must be
thick jams and fruit pastes, otherwise their
juices are likely to seep through the paraffin
and spoil.
The berries put on the fire jim the
saucepan with perhaps teaspoonful or two of
cold water to start the Juices, and are brought
to boil of two or three minutes. They are
turned into the sieve, over the bowl, and
worked through it, to remove the seeds, which
insures their firm consistency. The pulp and
juice is then measured and returned to the
stew pan, with one-half to three-quarters Of its
measure of sugar. Cook quickly, stirring to
prevent burning, until it is thick marmalade
