Innovation i'm Floors.

Some decorators have found enough
courage to come out bravely with the
conviction that houses can be fur
nished attractively and even richly
without any dust-collecting floor COW

mending attractive tiled floors for

tiled floor is, of course, simple mat

matter Of water and mop, and with
this type Of floor there is none OF the
dreadful problems Of periodic waxtngs

forward of using linoleums and OIL

more persons now. Providing the

few weeks have strong appeal.
And these when made of braided or
woven rags are quite in harmony
with any colonial type Of interior.

I've sorta gotten the habit Of being
punished. But one thought does nag
me badly-rm afraid I'll begin to
make excuses.
It's bad enough to do wrong. but
It's Infinitely worse to crawfish about
it afterwards. Real wrongdotng Is
done for selfish motive. You
break some law to get something
for yourself-pleasure or profit or
power. And since you desired so un-
worthily, 1t makes the deed doubly
loathsome If you try to drape pretty
excuse over 1t afterwards.
/ know I'm not going to make a
good showing on the Judgment day.
It's bad enough already and il they
give mo time I'll probably add muir
der and highway robbery to the list.
But whatever my load Of guilt, may
I be saved from one most awful
shame-when they charge ma with
my crimes, may I not crawl! May I
be- somehow kept from that last. con-
temptible whine of the defeated-"1
did the best I could" For I know
perfectly well that I never have done
absolutely the best I could. Though
my record is shot to pieces-though
I face an even greater loneliness
than have known here-may I stand
my ground and take what's coming
like man!
