The Color Scheme Of Your Living

In deciding upon the color scheme of
room. the first consideration is the
rooms exposure. \ cream, bun or
warm colored wall paper is necessary
for living room which does not get
much sunlight Bright. sunny living
rooms, however. require a subdued
color scheme: their wall paper may be
of cool grays and greens or dignl-
fed old blue. Old-rose is one of
those colors which are appropriate an
either A bright or dark room. \ II
need hardly be said that bright yel-
lows and pale pinks. blues and Law
enderS are distinctly bedroom catcrs.
Shall | have a figured or a pIa in
living room wall paper ask 50
many of the letters | receive from
column readers. A figured wall pap
er is not restful, 1t also tends to
make room seem smaller than
plain paper would. AS the walls
serve as background for everything
in the room. neutral tone in plain
oatmeal paper is an excellent choice.
A simple striped paper is also good
for living room if inConspicuous in
color and shade. Living rooms should
have a quiet. restful atmospherc-an
effect toward which q tasteful wall
paper contributes much.
The floor should strike the darkes ST
color note of a room. Rugs or car
pets should always be darker than the
walls. especially in a living room. In
bedroom one may have the light
colored rag rugs to match Colprful
walls; but in a living room a gay
floor covering is not permissible.
What color woodwork should 7
have in my living ROOM ask other
reader-friendS in their letters. Red

We battle in private. We can hold
the soap as we please and splash as

If we were hermits or Robinson Cru

our books of etiquette.
SO the closer We live together the
more careful We should be of our
manners. And for this reason the city
folk who dwell close together have to
think more Of etiquette than country
folk. Complicated machinery always
needs more lubricatinS oil than ma
chinery of few parts. and so folk who
live in close contact with one another
need the most rules of etiquette.
