Is it possible to make a small
entrance hall anything but patch
work quilt? 1t is filled with doors
and openings in every direction; the
lines are conflicting. and the stair
case adds still another motif. Yet
you must have a small console
table for mail, cards, etc; chair
for the waiting messenger or deliv-
cry boy, and a place to hang up
wraps. How shall we go about
making this hall harmonious?
We have put on the walls of the
above illustration a delightful open
wallpaper. 1t is possibly striking in
color and line, but the effect is
charming, the colors harmonious
and the whole hallway made unit.
This is because this wallpaper was
designed by an artist who under
stands how to obtain the proper
results from color and line. The
strong cheerful color on the walls
makes them dominate the room
sufficiently to absorb the distract
ing influence of the various open
ings and vistas. The strength of
the design absorbs the conflicting
lines of these same openings and
the furniture.

are seeking the answer to Just such
problems, with the result that they
are rapidly turning from the use
of plain, cold walls, and adopting
in their place we'll chosen color and
design.
The decorator should follow the
color lead Of the paper in the rugs
and in any draperies and upholstery
in the hallway. An accent in the
portieres OF the dull blue in the
paper will add to the unity of the
picture. The dark brown carpet
rug on the floor is reflected again
in the trunks of the vines running
through the design. There is a
touch of orange in the flowers, and
this has been repeated in the gleam-
ing bit of pottery on the table, and
used again in the design of its
small cover. In other words, you
have raised the key of your hall
way so that it has a definite per-
sonality Of its own. 1t is a room
now in your house, rather than a
mere passageway, and because of
the cheer and color which your
furnishings have created your
guests receive the sense of well
come due them the moment they
pass in through your door.

Sunday p. Nj. Meeting

The parents of the boys were
present at the last Sunday afternoon
boys meeting held yesterday at the
Y. M. c. A. building at the invita-
ton of Leland Stacy, boys work
secretary in charge of the meetings.
They were much interested in the
way the meetings We're conducted
and could plainly see why the boys
were so much taken up with the
meetings.
After several old songs were sung
the scripture lesson was read. This
was from the parable of the good
Samaritan and was particularly APP
plicable as the moving picture which
was shown was The Sky Pilot"
from Ralph Connor's book by the
same name. A few words in expla-
nation of the meetings. by Leland
Stacy, was followed by the showing
of the seven reel movie which was
watched with close attention by the

Brakes Fail to Hold
Crashes Into Electric Car

A Ford car driven by Raymond
Hanks came to grief about II o'clock
Saturday night in front of the Kenne-
bee Journal office when the slippery
condition of the pavement allowed the
car to skip along after the brakes
were applied. Mr.. Hanks was coming
down Rines hill and came up behind
an electric car and another automo-
bile, both travelling north on Water
street. They were travelling slowly
and the application of the brakes had
little effect upon the momentum of his
car. with the result that he collieded
with the rear of the electric car. Both
front wheels Of the Hanks car were
smashed, the mud guards crumpled
and the fender was bent. No damage
was suffered by the other auto or the
electric car.
