How to Decorate a Home Is Told
 By Mrs. Florence Austin Chase

Pictures, rugs, curtains and hang ings for the home were subjects dealt with by Mrs. Florence Austin Chase at her opening talk Tuesday after noon. The lecture was illustrated with attractive displays which Mrs Chase used to emphasize her points to advantage.
 Following is a summary of her talk:
 The framing and hanging of pie lures is an important detail of the general furnishing. It is assumed that the pictures in themselves are interesting, so they should be hung low enough to be examined at close range.
 They should be placed in a bal anced arrangement either irregular ly Or symmetrically spaced, so that a simple pattern is used by ther rec tangular shapes on the walls It is more interesting to group small pie lures than to scatter them.
 To be framed correctly, each pie ture must be considered as an indi- vidual problem Mezzotints and all color prints may have gold frames A narrow black frame will bring out the clear lines of Japanese prints.
 The size, color and pattern of a picture may mar or make beautiful the wall on which it hangs-and it is much too important a detail of furnishing to be haphazardly treated
 Rugs and Curtains
 The landscape painter says, Earth dark, trees darker. sky hghtest." In interior decorating this is translated to Floor darkest, walls lighter, cell ing Highest" A dark oak floor, neu- tral tan walls and woodwork, and light ceiling offer an example oi graduation from dark through medi- um to light color values.
 Carpets which cover the entire floor harbor dust and are difficult tc clean. Rugs are more sanitary as well as more beautiful. There is 8 wide variety of rugs on the market and with some searching. rugs may be found that are suitable for any color scheme and possible for the limited income. They range from the costly Oriental to the modest rag rug Of course every one longs for Ori- ental rugs, it is a good investment for those who can afford the initial cost There are many well illustrat ed books on Orienfai rugs which will show designs and colors and give in formation about the selection of g good antique.
 There are plain color rugs of do- mestic manufacture without pattern lovely in color and texture, ranging from light shades to dull effective blacks These plain color rugs coms in all widths, with prices varying accordingly

BREAD MAKING |S DEMONSTRATEDTO ID
 LARGE AUDIENCE

Details of bread making were inter- estingly explained in detail by Mrs. Florence Austin Chase yesterday at the third of her series of five lec- lures and demonstrations she is giv- ing at the Shrine auditorium in con junction with the Republicans Better Food Better Homes exposition.
 Light bread. Southern rolls, sand wiches and other pastry products were mixed, baked and served to the hundreds of eager housewives and prospective home-makerS who at tended the lecture yesterday.
 While waiting for the oven to put the finishing touches to her products, Mrs. Chase discoursed interestingly on some of the essential points of successful bread making.
 Her advice. in part, follows:
 Bread in some form is put upon the table three times day with very little thought as to whether 1t is good bread, wholesome enough for the members of the household. Bread is too important an item of food to be thus ignored.
 Whether 1t Is wiser, from both an economical and health standpoint, to make the bread in the home or buy it must be determined by several fac tors: the kind and quality of the commercial bread to be obtained, the size of the family, the time and strength of the housewife and wheth- CT or not there are growing children in the family. No housewife at the head of a large family can afford to buy her bread if she desires to be economical. The higher the price of flour and otlox' materials the more need of her making the bread.
 With gas or electricity for fuel it is wasteful to run the oven for one article. It takes no more fuel to cook roast, a loaf. potatoes, and one other article-which is all a family size gas oven will hold-than it does to cook the roast alone. Even a single loaf of bread may be made economi- cally if it is baked at the same time the oven is used for other foods.
 A light. delicious loaf of home made bread will serve more than bakers bread because there is more substance in it. Bread made with milk is more nutritious than that

and explain each step of the process during the course of the session. Then she will carefully stow it away in the hot oven to bake while she plunges her arms into fresh dough for addi- tional models. There will be plenty of cake to go round-and the gover- nor will not have to slice into his to help out, either.
 The presence of Governor Campbell at the Shrine auditorium this affer- noon will lend additional interest to today's session of The Republicans Better FoodsBetter Homes exposi- ton. It is expected that there will be a record audience present. Addi- tional chairs have been provided so that no one will be compelled to stand, but may be entirely comfortable dur ing the entire lecture by Mrs Flor ence Austin Chase and the demon strations to follow
 Arrangements have been made for adequate ventilation at the Shrine auditorium today. The big room will be entirely comfortable. The pro gram today has been prepared with the view of making it the most inter esting of any yet presented Mrs. Chase will conduct some interesting demonstrations and there will be other features which no one should miss.

Governor Thomas E. Campbell will be at the Shrine auditorium this af- ternoon at o'clock. at which time he will be presented with the "Guber- material Cake" by Mrs. Florence Austin Chase. The cake will be baked by Mrs. Chase this afternoon at the Better Foods-Better Homes expo sition. every step in the process being explained to the large audience at tending.
 "The proof of the cake Is in the eating" Mrs. Chase declared when referring to the special cake she will prepare for the governor. ''The same applies to a cake. One of an excep- tionally attractive appearance may prove Q disappointment to the sam pier while a perfectly plain cake may prove a delightful surprise to con- firmed epicurean. For the governor cake I shall strive to combine pleasing exterior with a delicfously appetizing interior
 Mrs. Chase did not deny nor affirm rumors that since sampling a cake especially baked for him the governor of Texas has extended her a special invitation to return to Austin in the near future.
 Those in the audience today will have an opportunity to sample cake made exactly like the one which will be presented to the governor. Mrs. Chase will mix all the ingredients

 A Matter of Taste
 "To avoid becoming confused by the mixture of good and bad fuiri- ture in the average furniture store, keep in mind a few impottant re- quirements. These are that the "a ble or chair have good lines and proportions, that it is comfortable and that it can be easily cleaned and kept in good condition.
 Tt is naturally a matter of taste which particular style of furniture you choose, but is important that you take the general style of your house into consideration in choosing your furniture. If, for instance the house Is distinctly colonial, you should choose designs following the English styles which are interpreted in ma hogany, such as the Sheraton, Queen Anne, Chippendale or Adam. In this
 way the character of the exterior would be reflected in the interior. Mission of Crafts furniture goes very well in large rooms with beam ceiling and brick fireplace.
