Health and Thrift i'm the Home

press harmony and repose by having
all the furniture in a room OF con-
sistenf colors and Of harmonious
styles; The rooms on the second floor
should be planned with view to
making each a part of a harmonious
whole. Those on the first floor should
be grouped. but each room Should be
designed to conform to its use and
purpose. If you know little about
furniture. be especially careful to
buy. Notice that most good designs
are extremely simple, and that their
beauty depends upon proportion and
delicacy of contour rather than upon
heavy machine carvings of filigree
work.
Bric-a-brac is a term that describes
any small articles Of decoration that
have little utility and exist mainly
for their supposed beauty. The charm
of room is more often destroyed by
ill-chosen bric-a-brac than by any
other thing. The room would be
removed. The effect of many orna-
ments is to litter a room and give it
confused and fussy appearance.
Good taste is almost synonymous
with simplicity. The mind is unable to
appreciate any one thing when it is
distracted by multitude of things
The presence Of many articles OF brio
abrac does not indicate taste on the
part Of the owner. but the reverse. A
person of good taste selects orna-
mnts with the greatest care and per-
mits only a few to be seen at one
time, and then with due regard to
their environment. 1t is a good rule
always to select your bric-a-bra C
with reference to it's surroundings
Most of us buy an object and then try
to find place for it, whereas we
should buy it to harmonic with the
wall paper, carpet. paint or furniture
in the room where it is to go. This
is the only way you can be sure of it:
harmonizing with other things. Be
fore buying bric-a-brac for rooms ASK
yourself two questions: How much
will it add to the character of the
room. and how much will it add to
the work of housekeeping? Remem-
Der the Japanese idea. which repre-
sents high type of artistic decora-
ton. The japanese have only the
necessary furniture and one or two
ornaments in a room; all other OBJ
jects of art they keep in chest. from
which they take them one by one as
they grow temporarily tired Of those
that are in view. Remember thai
every room should have unity Of col
or. style and character, and that any
tric-a-brac that disturbs this unity
by it's profusion or color is a mistake
| The test of success in furnishing {
room is that it gives a Sc nse of quie
/ and repose. The ornaments it con
tains ought to fall naturally into the
general scheme. and not distract the
