WAYS WITH BOOKS.

In some houses books are mere or
naments. They are bought just be-
cause their buyer feels that well
!urnished house has many rows Of
books. They are bought usually in
sets. extensively bound and expen-
sively priced.
In other houses books are bought
solely with n view to their contents.
The bindings are not considered. And
they are piled untidily on shelves and
tables with no view TO their really ex-
tensive decorative possibilities
Now books. Of course, bought solely
as ornaments are ridiculous. 1t hurts
q book lover to think Of them in that
way. On the other hand. there Ii no
reason why their decorative effect
should not be taken into considera-
tfon- For rows of shelves neatly filed
with books do doubtless give q room
q wen furnished look. And though 1T
Is q bad plan to arrange the books SO
that all the red ones come on one snelf
and all the blue ones on another, still
the color of the bindings Is one OF
theit charms.
Therefore. arrange your books with
a view to their decorative possibilities.
One thing about book ends is that
they keep the small row of books on
desk or table in neat array and at the
same time add to their decorative ap.
pearance. The fact that the row OF
books between them may be as long
or as short as one wishes Is another
thing in their favor.
All sorts of little tiers of book
shelves made especially to fit in a par
ticular nook or Granny are also de-
light to the book lover and to the lover
of good interiors, for these likewise
add to the appearance of the room
where they are placed, and further
serve to keep the books in order and
good condition. For instance. tier
Il In % nj
of a desk. or a little form of shelves
made to fit into a corner Of bedroom
or a shelf to stand under window. or
In some low -ceiled rooms. a shelf built
over window. All these are charm
ing additions to the room IN which
they are placed. and they really make
for orderliness and roominess by pro-
viding "a place for books that might
otherwise be piled untidily about on
tables and chiffoniers.
