Little Joys.

What do the free things think about
The birds and little flowers?
They seem so idle. nights Of blue,
And all days golden hours
Just this: They think of little joys
OF other birds and flowers.
OF sunshine on the garden wall,
And scent of blossOmed bowers.
They think of all the clematis vines,
Grown round the garden trees,
And ponder graceful, floating clouds,
And little joys like these.

any commercial encrOachment upon

The Romagne, SureSnes, and Belleau
Woods cemeteries have been approved
by the secretary Of war as the perma-

true of Belleau Woods.
The extra ground to Ike purchased

HOME FURNISHINGS
Hints on Equipment and Appliances

The selection and placing of floor
coverings in room should always
be of fundamental consideration as
one of the largest possibilities OF
decorative scheme, but all too often
the details are arranged principally
as matter of convenience. AS 4
result, even a good rug, by itself,
may completely destroy whatever
other harmony or good qualities the
furniture and decorations may have.
1t is always well to KEEP in mind III
selecting the pattern that the more
simple and unobtrusive the design
the more satisfying the general ef-
feet. The floor is simply a back
ground-a finish to set off whatever
is placed upon it and when treated
otherwise it disturhS the poise OF the
room.
For the same reason the realistic
flower or animal is never a good
design for a rug or carpet Aside
from the purely artistic viewpoint,
an unconventional flower draws the
attention from the general scheme
OF the room and likewise produces an
unCOilIoIldblS iSSllllS VI NdlhiuS on
the object itself. The restful con-
[entionai designs are not only better
art but they are accepted as the only
appropriate method of producing the
desired harmony in the room,
Designs That Dance
A design OF disconnected spots or
motifs always will dance on the
floor 1t is well TO examine carefully
and fined that the units are grace
IuIly interrelated or bound together
with the appearance OF supporting
each other. no one motif being com
pete in :tse.f. The true strength
of design is the structural relations
Of its different elements. When the
motifs blend their separate identity
into a dominant tone the effect is
Pleasing and restful.

Attractive designs are made in the
