Another item OF greatest impor-
lance to consider is the grouping Of
our chairs. tables and lamps so that
several persons may be seated with
out some OF them being behind the
glass door or facing the hall Note
how few living rooms have their
chairs so placed, and you will be as
tonished. The rule Of grouping, if
followed carefully. viii result in a
harmonious whole, even if there
aren't numbers of good-looking
pieces of furniture about Ii applies
TO every room whether old or new
and should be observed faithfully.
Groupings may be arranged so that
the whole family will get the glow
from the fireplace. for instance, and
still may engage in conversation not
including the whole circle. A pleas
ant corner with lamp and two
chairs. another with an Overstuffed
davenport, and a chair for father
compose a delightful whole.
With the reconstruction along
the servant line and the consequent
scarcity of maids. the kitchen is
rising from an obscure place to the
most important role in the house.
True. women who take pride in the
smooth running of their homes
have always seen that their cooks
had a more or less convenient set

maid conspicuously absent. il is
even more important Experts on

trio dish washers installed with a
rain-board, electric fireless cook
ers, electric ranges, electric refrig-
orators and washing machines are
among the inventions which make
for efficiency and saving of labor
in the modern home. At the outset
these affairs loom up almost pro-
hibitively high, but when we con-
slider the salaries demanded by
household experts and at that the
difficulty in securing competent and
groaned over after all. But for us
who aren't considering electrical

suggestions which are timely and
save labor. l heard a wise business
girl say to her mother the other
day that in furnishing up their new
apartment she was for doing the
kitchen first. Sunday is her only day
Of leisure, consequently the only day
when she can have her friends in
for supper or a cup Of tea. So this
foresighted young person painted
the walls canary yellow, the wood
work, tables and chairs a trifle
darker shade with a tiny stripe OF
delft blue for a trimming. At the
high window she hung crisp little
sash curtains OF white with a cut
out border Of blue sauce pans, and
on the window ledge she put fat
little pot in which she had planted

parsley 20 use in cooking. Not for
getting the details that count, she
had tea towels and aprons made of
blue and white checked linen. but

the material edged with a narrower
ruffle hold the curtai=s back. The
glass curtains should be Of shirred
point d'esprit.
Ideal for a young mans room are
the striking new designs in blocked
linen which are used for bed covers
and hangings The modern notion
is 10 use an old timey curtain pole
and wooden rings for these heavy
curtains which hang straight >to the
floor and which may be easily
drawn at night.
CretOnne in colorful patterns is
still used for bedrooms, though
newer are the crisp striped taft
case silk is beyond ones reach,
striped bingham may be used effec-
lively. Lamp shades sponsoring the
same material as the hangings are
new conceits.
Comfortable upholstered chairs
are penetrating even our boudoirs
these days. Nice fat ones, which
used 10 sit in corners in the library
are dressed up in covers or uphol-
stery OF cotton damask bound with
braid Of a contrasting color. A girls
room done in rose and pale blue
might have one Of the comfy chairs
upholstered in soft rose brocaded
damask bound in blue, and for a
change might have a careless cush-
ion of apple green silk with laven-
der cordings and a posy or two. A
lamp would be absolutely necessary
for this chair, and what could be
more charming than a standard of
pOlychrome wood having a shade Of
blue silk trimmed in rose puffings
and lined for becomingness with
lavender?

not too pleasing design there is
usually some way to remove or

sought. and this wise girl had the
many good times for which she had
longed yet which she could not at
ford 10 have in other ways.
If the kitchen is symbolical of
the digestive tract. the living room
is the heart of the home, and it is
here we should next turn our
thoughts. The faddy should be
eschewed and an idea of cheerful
ness carefully maintained in select
ing furniture, draperies or rugs.
Popular colors this season are UNI
brian blue, mandarin red, butter
color and esmeralda green. For the
family living room draperies OF
sunfast over glass curtains OF silk
net are in good taste. Grapes of
solid color with a valance of blocked
linen are seen also, and this combi-
nation might happily be used if one
had enough of the solid material for
sides and wanted to add a new note
Of color in the furnishings For a
window which frames a view the
main idea is of course to make the
draperies as attractive as possible
and at the same time to frame the
view without obliterating it. A
valance and narrow side Grapes Of
figured chintz reaching the sill
should frame the window, and the
glass curtains OF plain net should be
adjusted with small rings TO a brass
rod so they may be pulled back en-
tirely.
A treatment for more formal
usage which is dignified without
giving the impression Of stiffness
consists of a straight valance of two
toned brocaded silk, with Grapes of
the same ranging 10 the floor and
finished with scant ruffles. Cuffs of

and a rose taupe rug would go far
toward making a successful room.
IL you are needing new small

taire. for a place 70 set ones darn
ing basket for a plant that needs
sunshine; there are innumerable
uses for these conveniences.
Many atrocities in the way OF
golden oak and other erstwhile
crazes have been reclaimed and
made delightful by the use OF little
paint. For instance, a woman OF my
acquaintance had a lovely walnut
bed and a small chair, but the only
dresser at her disposal was one Of
the horrid pocked maple period but
which had very good lines. Neces-
sity proved inspirational and this
clever woman painted the body OF
the dresser black and the drawers a
soft rose which she mixed herself.
The ugly holes where the handles
had been were fitted with Japa-
nese cords which were strung with
colored glass beads. Two powder
holders of rose pottery and a shall
low flower bowl were set atop this
original piece OF furniture Equally
good results may be obtained with
different colors and a little ingenu-
ity. One has to possess a sense OF
the visionary and infinite patience
and the results are bound TO be sat
