mans Club held their regular meet
ing at the home OF Mrs. Virgil shull

especially delightful and interesting,
consisted of the reading Of three
short papers.
AS Mrs. Danenhower was unable
to be present at last nights meet
paper on Furniture and Its Plac-
tngs," which was written by Mrs.
DanenhoWer. She emphasized the
necessity of directing efforts toward
the careful, intelligent selection of
furniture, the harmonious oneness
which the correct placing oft will
| produce in the home, and the quiet,
comfortable atmosphere which such
| an arrangement will create around
the average individual. Furniture
fabrics an upholstery we'll selected
in a comprehensive color scheme
will give to each room it's own
beauty of color in the things he has
made for his house OF worship and
ilabitation through all the centuries
of it's existence. The walls and fur
inture in the buildings of ancient
Egypt, the marble prizes Of the Par
thons were done in color. Gothaic
carvings, the glorious furniture of
the Renaissance were also done in
color. The most charming contri-
buttons of England were the dainty
painted sets of Sheraton, the classic
ivory pieces of the Adam brothers
and the exquisite panels by Angelius
kausmas.
1t is only natural as the mark of
Ixr As%
the desire for craving for color and
har mony in our home only tempered
and controlled by modern conditions,
but nevertheless just as lovely and
Just as satisfying. Mrs. Danenhower

placing Of the right kind OF furniture
in different rooms of the house.

esting paper on "Fireplsces and
Mantles," giving a brief resume Of

either of silk, parehments or the
quaint old lanterns electrified, the
bomey atmosphere is attained. Mrs
Shull advised doinS away with Light
Hooded ceiling and the placing of
table lamps about the rooms. Table
lights are not only more artistic. but
give better chance for harmonious
effects in their surroundings and al
low individuality to enter in. Odd
glass lamps, tea canisters, pewter
jars and odd vases one picks up in
stores and curl shops, may be made
into attractive lamps.
If vase is decorated keep shade
tones simple and vice versa. A
lamp shade is not bought for one
heat has a disastrous effect on tn-
ferior silks so 1t is more econon-
ical to use the best OF materials.
This is also true of trimmings. Mrs.
Shull gave several splendid sugges-
tions for the lighting of rooms,
many beautiful lamp 8 hades Of her
own exquisite handlwork being
shown.
