Good Cheer For The SttnrOom
TIME sun parlor is becoming as
much an essential feature of
modern American architecture

TIME sun parIor is becoming as
much an essential feature of
modern American architecture
as the bathroom Or the heating plant.
Wicker furniture Is especially ap-
propriate for the sunroom, as are
fibre and grass rugs, that seem rather
informal and out-doorsy. But before
you furnish the sun room, you must
decorate it, and if you are wise, you
will, when you build, have smooth
finished plaster put on its walls, SO
that it can be papered. Then choose
the gayest, jolliest, most colorful wall
paper you can find, one that has trees
and flowers, birds and butterflies, II
possible. Bold patterns and bright
colors that would seem to. scream In
your living or dining room are exactly
the things you want for the sun
room, where you VIII not hang any
pictures, Of course.
Now bring in your cool looking
grass green rugs, your comfortable
wicker or reed or painted. furniture,
and some dainty net curtains in sun
shine tone at the windows. A few
hanging baskets Of graceful ferns, q
few pots Of growing palms or ferns OF
bulbs, win add to the summary, out.

THE layman always glows with d
particularly warming conscious
ness of being in on the facts" when
he learns the precise manner in which
a literary triumph or a notable bit
of dramaturgy was achieved.
The following concerning Gertrude
Atherton and her novel BLACK Oxen"
may be of interest, as II comes seri-
ously as a true story
The character of the Countess Ziti-
amy, it is advanced, was suggested
by a mysterious and very beautiful
first-night attendant at the New York
theaters who at the end OF each act
followed the common European prac-
tice OF arising from her orchestra
chair and scanning the audience with
her opera glasses. Mrs. Atherton OBJ
served this procedure on numerous
occasions and admits that in Euro
pean capitals she herself often had
done the same thing. although II is
an unheard custom in this country.
The poise, the grace and the evil
dent savoir faire of this stranger in
New York by the very uniQueness Of
her personality and her complete in
difference to the curiosity OF those
about her, at once suggested the pos
sibility Of new heroine.
To those unaccustomed to the intrt-
cate art of 'snow-balling a plot,
this start would seem to assure the
speedy completion of a weighty tome.
As matter of fact, Mrs. Atherton
completed three chapters on her mys-
tory woman of the orchestra stall and
then found it beyond her power to
