In decorating a home don't think
onlS< of how the furnishings will -har
monte. but also have some regard for
the people who are to live in the
rooms. was the advice Of Mrs. Grace
Methodist church last evening. She
told an experience of hers TO illustrate
the point. Some years ago a wealthy
New York couple employed her to
furnish an apartment They put no
limit on the money she might spend
and she worked ont dream of beauty
and daintiness On their return from
Europe where they had been travelling
while she furnished their home, she
was invited to dinner-and what was
L
200 pounds strong and not at all
dainty person, The spindle legged
chairs and the delicate rose colors of
the bed room in that apartment still
haunt Mrs. Wilmot.
Walls, ceilings and floors should be
in neutral tones. They are the back
ground for the furnishings of the
room. The warm grays which are
light creams shading to brown and the
cool grays which We usually think of
ground. Never a white ceiling. The
sky always has color and the best les
sons for the interior decorator are
taken from nature. Let the walls be
somewhat darker than the ceiling and
the floor darker than the walls. She
exploded the theory of gree for walls
because there is green IN ture, by
calling attention to the f. that ma
lures green does not last al. Jear long.
In fall it turns to browns and Colds
y.
A green room does not wear.
Mrs. Wilmot says the curtains next
the pane should be simple and dainty
but never white. The reason for these
curtains is to subdue the light and
white hardens it while cream or gray
is softening. The outside drapery
would just about cover the window
frame ana should hang few inches
longer than the thin curtain
Mrs. Wilmot believes in straight
lines; no rugs askew or table covers
places at angles. Let the table cover
be of the same shape of the table
and a little smaller. She also says the
day of the elaborate lamp is passing
and people realize that the simply
made lamp shade is more restful and
gives just as beautiful a light.
Now is the time for American art to
develop Mrs. Wilmot believes, and if
there are TO be great artists in the
coming years there must be artistic
surrounding in which they may live
during their early impressionable
years. Making a restful artistic home
is just as much a part of the success
full home makers duty as boiling the
water when the city water is bad or
seeing that the house is warm enough
or opening the windows at night.
