Hall Furnishings
Often Neglected
Overlooked When Purchases
For Other Rooms Are
Made by Owner.

The hall far too often fails to re-
ceive its share of attention when
schemes of house furnishing are
planned or put into execution.
If the available sum for furnish
ing the house is limited. as such
sums have an uncomfortable habit
fof being. nearly all OF it is apt to be
spent on the appointment of the
various rooms which offer inviting
possibilities or make insistent de-
mands, while only an inadequate
pittance is left to take care of the
hall.
Nothing gives a worse impression
of Inconsistency and slipshod meth
DDS. on the part OF the occupants
than house with carefully fur
| nished rooms and a neglected hall
The hall cannot be properly
equipped with leftovers and tag
ends from the rest Of the house. and
attempts to do so must necessarily
l'be unsuccessful in the outcome.
The visitor entering the house
gets his first and often most lasting
impression from the hall. so IL one
values the effect of first Impressions
upon the minds of all who cross the
threshold, one must needs have an
eye to the hall. Then. again, the
hall is the bond that links the other
parts of the house together.

SMALL DWELLINGS
NEAR COMPLETION
Urgent Need for Small Homes
Noticeable in WASH
ington.

John J. Cunningham. e1s Seven
teenth street northwest, announces
that excellent progress Is being
made towards the completion of the
twenty small residences planned
and now under construction by
Matthew G.. Lepley, architect and
NuilHe~ on Wisconsin avenue near
r street.
Mr.. Cunningham states that m
this effort TO meet the urgent need
for small houses OF moderate cost.
the architect has kept In mind the
present day high standard of liv-
ing of the American public. who are
accustomed to and expect the latest
improvements even in the smaller
dwellings.
In line with this. there have been
included in the plan, bath with tiled
floor. hot water heat. electric lights.
gas hot water heater, ETC. Each
house will contain a large living
room. dining room. kitchen. three
bed rooms with ample closet space
and cellar.
The front elevation Of the houses
presents a pleasing variety Of in
teresting treatments while the ex-
traordinary convenience of their ac-
feasibility on the Wisconsin avenue
line gives an additional reason for
the rapidIty with which they are
being sold.
Within two or three hundred
yards of these houses may be found
the Dumbarton Club and the homes
Of many of Washington's well
known citizens, including the pala-
tial new residence of Robert Woods
Bliss. Third Assistant Secretary of
State.
The prices vary somewhat ac-
cording to the amount of ground
and the location in the groups. but
the average of seven thousand dol
lars brings this building operation
into the limited class of those being
erected with the intent of actually
helping the wage Garner to own his
home without hardship. In addition.
terms will be arranged given the
utmost advantage to the purchaser.

TRIO OF THINGS TO
BE CONSIDERED IN
ERECTING A HOME
What One Wants, Needs
And Can Have, Should
Be Observed.

Even to the least observing II
must be apparent that In planning
for furnishing a home. whatever or
wherever II may be. three con-
siderations of necessity must gov
ern-what one. wants. what one
needs, and what one can have. The
ordinary individual naturally starts
out by wanting certain things for
the home. which is quite different
from needing them and altogether
another thing from being able to
have them.
1t is quite evident that one should
strive for artistic effect in the
decoration of a home. indeed. such
an effect is absolutely essential. but
at the same time. II is well not to
forget that there Is no word In the
English language more abused or
that has had more crimes committed
In Its name than the term "artis-
tic"
Most authorities agree that per.
haps the most comprehensive defini-
tion OF the word artistic is. relat-
ing to a high degree OF art. but ap-
parently this definition enters not
at all into the modern conception
which tends to dub anything artis-
tic which savors OF something diff
ferent or. ornamental. Every kind
OF incongruous and ugly combina-
tion of objects in themselves unin-
teresting and in groups defying all
fundamental rules of analysis oil
synthesis, are more or less popu-
larly Supposed to have received the
hall mark of authority when they
are referred to as artistic.

CURTAIN DRAPE BIG
FACTOR In HOMES
New Find Replaces Cushions
And Pictures as Dominant
Note in Rooms.

Homemakers and decorators have
come to realize that the curtain or
window drape permits the very
amount and place of color that so
many rooms demand. They began
to work with curtains, draperies
and portieres as the dominant con-
trast note OF a room. just as for
SO many years cushions and pic
lures had been pressed into this
service.
Each season brings bolt after
bolt of new curtain materials to
the house decorator. There seems
no end to the wealth of design and
color utilized in these house fur
n4shing cloths. 1t only remains 70,
the buyer to select the material, de-
sign and color best for her own
home-and there's the rub,
II the homemaker would keep
these few rules In mind, her task
would be much simplified.
First. consider your walls. II
they have figured, rather colorful
paper. select window hangings Of
an untigured design and harmonic
ing rather than contrasting color.
The best known rule of color for
practically any room of the house
Is light ceiling, medium walls and
dark floor, With this combination.
colorful window sdrapes can be used
to the very best advantage.
II your room Is inclined TO be
dark. chintzes or silks of rose, yei-
low, gold. tan. red or yellowish gray
and olive are good.
If the room is sunny, II Is safe
and beautiful TO use the more pastel
shade of blue blue-green, gray
green and gray tinged with blue or
green.
1t is best to remember that the
color of a room is really its big,
outstanding feature that although
arrangements of furniture and
shape of the room all contribute TO
its perfection. II is its color scheme
that makes or mars 1t.
For this reason, the buyer Of
drapes will select a good design but
will be almost finicky in her choice
of colors.
Dark hangings are good in ultra
spacious rooms, for they tend to
bring the four walls nearer to-
gether.
