Furnishing the House
of Good Taste
BIZ Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority Household Efficiency.

it means squeezing a six.person
family into four.room fiat!
But even If Mrs. Jones is forced
to accept a small. inadequate dwell.
ing to shelter her family and its
numerous belongings, there is one
thing still in her power, and that is
to so furnish this dwelling that It
will not appear more cramped and
over-crowded than II really is. The
floor space may be limited, the wall
space broken into by badly placed
doors. the windows too few and the
lighting faulty-but the housewife
need not make conditions worse by
filing her home with unnecessary
furnishing as she quite commonly
does.
Let's begin by saying that any
room will appear larger II the walls
are finished in a light tone or in a
small pattern paper. Here is
parlor whose walls are papered In
a dark green with a large scroll
design Of climbing onions or fes-
toons OF roses. What is the result
in a room about 12x14, quite usual
size OF small parlor? Nothing other
than to keep the room dark, give a
sense OF confusion to the eye AMI
force the room to seem much
smaller? What a change II this
dark background is replaced by pa
per or paint in a light tone of tan
or gray. carrying no pattern at all!
The room at once seems larger,
more airy, more restful, brighter
and more cheerful.
The housewife can take this sim
pie instance Of changing a dark
and elaborate background into a
light and simple one as a model ot
bad versus good furnishing. Just
as the dark or pronounced pattern
on the wall makes space smaller,
so, too, does a profusion OF orna
ments, objects and wrong-colored
furnishings. Yet how often do We
find the sitting room as a reposi'
tory for curios, a supertiuity OF pho
tographs on the mantel or shelf,
bric-a -brac pieces everywhere, and
countless fancy pillows, calendars
and vases scattered about the room

Set Out Trees


The highway department of the
state bEgMinnesota is making an
effort 70 have shade trees set out
on every highway along each side,
planning that in years to come ev-
cry road will be shaded by beauti-
full trees. Not only is it a good
idea from a scenic point of view
but it is also wise as a strictly
road way fairly we'll shaded wears
better and is not so much inclined
to Washboard in hot and dry wealth
er as is road open to the glare
of the sun. The only change we
would propose is that for Vermont
it would seem wiser tn set out APP
pie trees, furnishing blossoms in
May, shade during the hot weather
and an abundant crop of apples in
the fall, while the ground occupied
cannot be utilized for anything else
1t is said that in Japan hade trees
around houses are nearly always
fruit trees which thus do double
duty.-Bennington Banner.

Chautauqua programs appear su-
perior to the one put on by the
Community Chautauqua in st.

munity Chautauqua runs behind.

heartily in favor of the Chautau-

high class entertainment such as

gram for next year but there will
have to be different business ar
rangements, l believe, before the
Community Chautauqua can make
a go of coming here another year"
at should be borne in mind that
this Chautauqua game is strictly
commercial enterprise. 1t pays
good dividends to its stockholders
and buys its talent and runs its
shows just like circus or a thea
trical troupe.
"There should not be a guaran-
tee to pay the expenses of this
form Of entertainment any more
than there should b a guarantee to
the county fair that it must make
money for its stockholders before
the show is held or to the baseball
team that it must be guaranteed a
prosperous season."

CONFIDENT
OF COUNTRY'S
PROSPERITY
Soviet Leaders Believe
Russia VIII Come
Back

MOSCOW, Aug. 25-Soviet
Russian leaders are advancing
reasons, easily understandable
within Russia but probably diff
cult of comprehension abroad, a:
to, why they believe Russia, after
the coming harvest, can get along
and show economic improvement
without the aid of foreign govern
ments.
They make no secret that indus.
trially the country can show very
little life without huge foreign
credits, but they say that Russia is
primarily an agricultural country
and that the requirements of the
Russian peasant are probably
smaller than those of any Other
people except the Chinese or Hin
dus. The peasants comprise at
least 70 per cent of the country's
population.
An American, accustomed to
the standard of living in the
United States, might consider it a
terrible condition were someone to
tell him that 50,000,00O Russian
people had no shoes. The Rus
sian, familiar with his own country
would shrug his shoulders and
say: "What of it," He would re-
mark that at least 50,000,000 Rus
slams never had shoes and prob
ably would not know what to do
with them if they did. The peas
ants go barefoot in summer, use
homemade straw sandals in the
autumn, and felt boots of village
manufacture in the winter.
1t is similar with most articles
Of wear and household use which
American civilization considers es-
sential to comfort. If the Russian
peasant has plenty to eat-and
above all other things he prefers
black bread-and if he has a few
rags to cover him and a hut to
shelter him, he is as well off as he
was before the war.
1t was only in late years under
the monarchy that the growth of
manufacturing within Russia was
seriously encouraged. The Soviet
regime, whose supporters were
mostly among the factory work
ers in the cities, has desired to in
crease industry probably even
more than the old regime, but, due
tc civil war and destruction, in
dustry is now in a worse state
than aynr hnfOrn If foraiUn can
ital comes in to any great extent
the government expects to recreate
industry, but lacking this, it con-
siders that Russia can get along
as an agricultural country until
such time as either from within
itself, or with foreign assistance,
it can become an industrial coun-
try.
As civil war is over, and the
harvest promises to be better than
at anytime since the war, the So

Wet leaders contend that the peas
ant and the city workmen now will
both have more food than they
have had for years, and that the
worst period is behind them. For
this reason the attitude of Russian
diplomats at Genoa and The
Hague was frmcr than the West
ern world, accustomed to thinking
of economic ruin in the sense it
would affect their own countries,
had believed possible.
