The Decorators.

Often the "best decoration" for tho
top of mantel is no decoration at
all. If the mantel itself shows inter-
esting workmanship, If it is sur
mounted by a painting or tapestry or
ornate mirror you may find your best
plan to leave it unlocked by the usual
collection of vases, clocks, CANDLE
sticks. etc.
If you have attractive flooring
there is no reason why you should
cover it with rugs. Many of the best
of the new interior decorators delight
in the effect of wide oak flooring, left
exposed for large spaces. A single
rug at one side Of the room or pos
sibly a runner where the floor is most
traversed with a small hearth rug is
often chosen for the only floor cover
ing for reasons that have nothing to
do with economy.
The old-fashioned roller shade is
looked upon with suspicion and aver
sion by many decorators. Often these
roller shades are dispensed with en-
tirely. provision for necessary shad-
ing of the windows being made by
other drapery; at other times they
are tolerated but are left entirely
rolled up during the day time, so as
to leave the entire window unob-
structed.
There seems to be no reason for the
convention for floors eternally finish
ed in tones of brown. And the pres
sionally of floors painted blue or red,
or green or gray. Usually such floors
are given a high wax finish and where
the color is high the rugs used there
on are appropriately subdued in de-
sign or colors ...I,

Conjugal Complaints.

Perhaps the most common OF all
conjugal complaints is that after sew
eral years of more or less connubial
happiness the wife begins to resem-
BILE her husband, or in sad cases, the
husband begins to resemble his wife
not only in interests and tastes. but
in manner Of behavior and even in
appearance.
Whether this tendency of mates to
acquire common likes and looks has
any tangible bearing on the question
of disease is debatable. There are
plenty of instances of conjugal dis
ease. that is, the Simultaneous de-
yelopment or occurrence of a certain
disease, say cancer or tuberculosis or
diabetes or apoplexy, In man and
wife, but as far as can learn. the
evidence Of conjugality is less con-
vincing in these instances than in
the instance of obesity. There is an
exiraordinary number of cases of
conjugal obesity to be found. very
sad cases. indeed. True, the disease
does not invariably begin at precisely
the same instant in man and wife
in these deplorable cases Of conjugal
obesity; probably the husband makes
as a rule, but the wife soon over
takes him and maintains safe lead
over him for the rest of the race.
Conjugal obesity is too familiar an
actuality for anybody to doubt or
question such a happening. If the
influence Of man over wife or of wife
over husband has no causative rela-
tion here then we must dismiss the
whole question of conjugal disease
as wholly fanciful.
For every instance of conjugal
pneumonia. cholelithiasis, cataract or
epilepsy you can report. l venture to
say l can cite ten instances of con-
jugal obesity. So If there is any
thing in the idea of conjugal COM
plants at all 1t is surely manifest
in this most frequent of all such COM
plants.
My researches have convinced me
that while some husbands go wrong
all alone. still if the wife starts culti-
waiting Stacker flesh the husband will
shortly begin emulating her example.
for if there is anything most men dis
like more than outright obesity it is
being mistaken for their wives little
boys. This may not be good Leary
psychology, yet 1 think there is a
grain of truth in it, OF course. the
main reason for conjugal obesity is
that the good cooks are SO eagerly
snapped up by the good providers and

Beau Brummel and One Of His
ConuuestS,

Who has not heard of Beau Brum-
mel? Beau Brummel. the fop, the
dandy, the ladies' man. Most of US
have heard of him SO often and have
heard his name applied to SO many
purposes that We have come to accept
him as a legend. Beau Brummel is
no legend, however. but one of the
most interesting characters in his
tory. His real name was George
Bryan Brummel. and he was really
all the rage in the London of his time.
He was born in Englands capital,
the son of the secretary to d lord. He
was sent to Eton and Oxford. where
his instructive taste for good dressing
and quick wit at repartee made him
very popular even before he was six
teen. At that age he left Oxford. and
when he was presented to the Prince
of Wales uater George IV) the lat
ter was attracted by his vivacity and
gave him a commission in his own
regiment.
Brummel paid so little attention to
his military duties that. it is said, his
men didn't know him. He soon in
herited some money and set up a
fashionable bachelor apartment. He
was constantly in the princes COM
pany. and their adventures were
many and gay.

spread his fame in society and he

the old heavy fiat irons she had used,
and compared them with the cool

in this modern apartment.

at the electric range in her daugh-
ter's wee kitchenette. at the electric
dishwasher that had replaced her old
dishpan. for which the water had to
be heated on the wood stove. She

and grandmother sighed. She sighed
that she had not waited a generation
or two and lived in a day when the
silent force of electricity could have
lifted the heavy burden from her
shoulders. She looked down at her
knotted hands. and then at her
daughters and her grand-daughter's
white, smooth ones.
