Questions and Answers.

Do you think a light gray body and
dark gray trimming with green
roof would be good for a suburban
bungalow?
What Kind of wood trim could be
used in the living room If 1T is not
painted. The living room is IL by 25
feet: what would you suggest for a
rug? NJ. S.
The color scheme you have planned
for the exterior of the house Is very
good. I would suggest outlining the
window trim with a touch OF black
just to give a stronger character note.
The living room trim could be fln-
ished in a soft. reddish brown oak
color. not too dark, vanished and

1t Is here that the frame OF a picture
plays its important part. for it is the
frame which gives picture the final
note of character and ties it to its back
ground, the wall. A huge. abundantly
carved. gilt frame, deep like a pie crust.
Of these things. 1t overshadows the
picture and separates it from the wall
as much as If It were a separate piece

too light nor too dark to destroy the
transition from picture to wall.
There are few simple general rules

specially made hooks that slant

Acorn for Representative.

We are pleased to note that Roscoe
Alcorn has again announced his inten.
ton of being a candidate for the state
legislature. Two years ago Mr.. Al
corn led his ticket for the Legislature
and during the session later we do not
hesitate TO say that he retained the
cad of our representatives from Car.
bon county, and that there wasn't any
thing that Carbon county asked for
h IA we didn't get. chiefly through the
personality of Alcorn in the house and
Daley in the senate.
If Alcorn goes back to the house this
year we don't believe there is anything
that he asks for in reason that he will
not get, and while he is doing that for
h home folks he also uses his head
we'll on propositions coming up for the
welfare of the entire state.-Snake
