Plain Walls and Unobtru-
siye Rugs Make Best
& Background.
VARIETY is URGED
Also Important That Pic
lures Be Hun in Prop
er Manner.
By HUNT COOK.

Al few. general principles that should
betkept in mind when preparing 10
make the new home or re-make the
old one may be briefly summarized
this:
Buy your lot of a reputable real
tor one who knows local condi-
tons.
Build only from plans drawn by
an architect; a homemade house is
greater mistake than a mamma
made suit of clothes.
Permanent construction costs less
in, the long run; it means saving in
upkeep, insurance, etc.
It is cheaper 10 build up than to
build out.
Have plenty OF windows, sun
shine saves doctors bills. Glass is
cheaper than wood, brick or stone.
A room is a picture or daub.
1t. must have center of interest
and be built up of a series of units.
Never lose sight of a rooms func-
tional fitness. 1t must serve the pur-
pose for which it was intended.
Plain walls and plain or unob-
frlsiye rugs make the. best back
grounds. Let the highlights be in
the pictures, furniture, flowers and
sometimes the draperies.
,Connecting rooms in the same tone
or in similar tones create the effect Of
spaciousness. This is especially de-
sirable in small houses.
Strive for variety in unity. Every
room should have not less than three
colors, to avoid monotony; two dom
jnant, one a more sub-dominant; but
MT too many colors.
Avoid staircase effects on the walls.
These tire the eye as actual stairs
tife the legs. One, two or at most
three horizontal lines in any room.
Group small pictures so that the top
line of the group is parallel with the
top line of the large pictures or mir
rors.
How to Hang Pictures.
Hang all large pictures and mir
rors with two cords or wires tinted
the color of the walls, vertical from
sides of frames.
Hang all small pictures invisibly.
Leave large. wall spaces; these cor
respond TO rests in music. The
pHnciples underlying one are are

RETURNS TO FAVOR

The Indians Of New York called it
"Dent-soo- kwa-no- and today we
term it American walnut, referring
to the deservedly popular and beau
tiful wood which has lately returned
to such favor.
Whatever the literal translation
of the Indian word may mean, GER
tain it is that, in beauty of form,
texture and finish, the wood stands
unparalleled. The first American
settlers, carving their way out of
the wilderness, saw in the American
