The point that brings out is that shrewd and level
headed person will not jump the first chance he gets to
become prominent, but will carefully examine himself
see ne is fitted to the responsibilities OF the offered post
The Scriptures somewhere say that would build
house and king would go to without first sitting
down and counting the cost.
There who have stayed down because they
too cauous and there other who have fallen
down because they were not cautious enough
In his statement declining the position Secretary of
the Navy, Judge Kenyon used these worlds
"a man in judicial position acquires the habit Of looking
at all sides of question before arriving at conclusion
apprecative of the honor conferred and confidence
shown by the President of the United States in rendering
the position Of Secretary of the Navy cannot, how
ever escape the conclusion that do not possess the
sental qualifications training for the office Hence
seems clear that should go no further in its con-
sderation."
It is due to the Judge to take these words at their face
value and to attribute other motive to his action than
that which he has so frankly given.
And proper might preach from this text is
that it is wise who knows, first what he wants to do
second what he fitted for and, third his limitations
There are not few people in the world who are doing
what they intensely dislike One Of the commone faults
the has is that he does not know what he
wants.
And many one has been forced by fate into kind of
that at all because the work involved
in it is not Of kind to give him free and joyous self
expression
If loves farming, outdoor fe the handling Of stock
and the like he will be happier farmer he only clears
thousand dollars year, than he would be sitting in
bank and clearing hundred thousand a year.
IT, therefore, you do not want to be a round peg In
square hole, find out, first of all, what you want
Secondly honor prefermen for which is not
fitted by training and by temperament is most likely to be
disappointing in the end .+
For instance make living by writing. I do not make
much money bank presidents pugsts and movie
stars; but wouldn't be member Of any Of these three
professions if had to work at all my life, for all the
money in the Bank of England
would marry a woman did not like take up
a life calling did not like.
Third, Judge Kenyon appeared to know his limitations
He felt that he not adapted to administrative office
And if every factory superintendent minister Of the
Gospel school teacher commanding general political office
holder and other person in place of authority, whose
ability is not at all with the duties Of his
office to resign and take job he could do WELL
the comfort and efficiency of the human would be
considerably improved.

 In DrI;apery
 Materials

WTHEN planning new draperies and w upholsteries for any room, the
 results will be found to be far more satisfactory if tasteful combi- nation of materials be used in place of one fabric only.
 A variety of materials (always sup posing the selecton is artistically good) has many advantages. Combina- tions of striped, plain, and figured ma terials; darker and lighter colors 1; rough and smooth textures; make for comfortable and homelike effects. There is an added cheerfulness and no fear of that monotonens rformality too often noticeable in rooms entirely furnished with one material. Then, too, the pos silibilty of replacing such portions as are most quickly worn and soiled without that unfortunate "patchy' ef- feet will be appreciated by the fastid- ious and careful home1makers.
 Just as the size of a room is affect ed by the value and intensity of the colors used, so also the pattern or dc. sign of the figured materials is of great importance. Figured materials add greatly to the interest in a room, but should not be used with too free a hand, and not at all where the wall paper is figured. Small rooms require the moderate sized natterns and the only exception is when the design is so very large that the ''center of in terest" in the design (bird, flower group, etc.,) occurs only once or twice in the piece used E.
 Striped materials repeating the most interesting colors in the wall paper or cretonnes are valuable for adding height to doors and windows, and are more serviceable than plain fabrics for chair seats and cushions. Plain fabrics, except the sturdy velours, enduring mo hairs and special sunproof materials should not be used where direct sun shine or rough wear will soon make them look shabby, but, can be used to supplement the figured and striped fabrics and sound the color keynote for the room.
 Often the rug or rugs furnish the theme around which the color har- mony of the room can best be built In such case the predominating color in the rug should be the recurring ac- cent only, and not too insisted upon in the upholsteries. Never should the fact be lost sight of that the floor and its coverings should be darker in tone than the walls and their furnishings. In fact the safe rule is to have the floor as much darker than the walls as the walls are darker than the ceil- ing, and in such a scheme the curtains are part of the wall furnishing.
 The happy use of color in home ar ranging, placing as we'll as selection of furniture, are among the subjects taught and practiced in the classes in Applied Textile Design and Interior Decoration for both young men and women at the Textile High School in West Thirtieth street. While these classes are primarily for the future professional decorator they are also very valuable to the potential home makers and are within the reach of all since they are held both day and evening.
