Get Life Into
Your Ceiling
By GERTRUDE WOoDcOcKs

No so many years ago no cell
ing was considered complete unless
it was violently embellished with
chubby eupids, garlands $. of roses,
and obese clouds. The xcaction to
this type of decoration, like most
reactions, has been too sfaas 3in the
opposite direction
The glaring white ceiling that has
hovorcd over most rooms decorat-
-od or redccorated during the last
twenty years, is both ugl y and I'M
necessary. When science entered
home decoration = it announced that
light ceilings help the Illumination
of rooms and that white ceilings
have greater reflectivity than col
ored ceilings. 1t did not mention
that the difference in actual reflec
tivitv figures between them, is neg
li9ible in the home, and that its
real value pertains to office or fac
tory ceilings whore strong reflec-
tiyitv is worth dollars and cents.
There is no reason why ceilings
should NOT De any cal0f unuef the
sun, provided, Of course, it does not
violate the basic principle that the
ceiling should be the ligbtest part
Of the room. There are exceptions
to this-beamed ceilings i'll italian
and early Spanish types of houses
for instance, which usually are very
high and sometimes both beams
and ceiling boards stained a walnut

ton, too, is both permissible and

Women of Today
Want BOudOirs
BY GENE ARAM

The business of living, under
modern conditions, may be a bitter
struggle, but we Americans aim to
carry it on like sports, without
showing the strain. No matter how
much nervous energy we may spend
in the pursuit of prosperity, sue
cess or pleasure, no sign of eXhaus-
tion must appear on the surface
Thus as they learn the art of liv-
ing, men expect their women folk
to retain youth and fascination in
spite of their cares. as mothers and
home makers. Our great-grand
mothers looked askance at beauty,
unless 1t was the natural radiance
of cleanliness and health. But they
were the mates of pioneers, at a
time when the strong alone' sur
vived; they had to weave and bake
and raise stock, if they hoped to
clothe and feed their families; and
they had nothing to work with but
their hands and few hand tools.
No 50 nowadays. An American
woman who avails herself of the
labor saving devices invented for
her benefit, has less work to do
than Il European housewife who
keeps q servant. Inconspicuously,
; tactfully, she goes through her
daily routine; then, in y shrine of
beauty where she herself is the
goddess, she performs the mysteri-
GUS rites of her own cult, decks
herself with smiling grace, and then
! goes forth into her world to lure,
| to inspire, to refresh.

But the magic will not operate If
milady's devotee is initiated into

nance about cold cream, face clay
complexion patters and chin straps

RUGS VARIETY
VERY LARGE IN
RECENT YEARS
Patterns Showing Spanish
Chinese Influence Are
Most Popular.

! In the production of fine machine
made rugs and carpets the United
! States leads the world. The modern
rug, now in such general use, was
first developed III this country be-
) tween twenty-five and thirty years
/ ago and has now reached stage of
| very high merit indeed-both from
| an artistic and utilifarian stand
point. There are many different
| grades offered, the best and most
satisfactory in the long run being
the Wilton. This fabric, being
woven by the jacquard process, has
! several thicknesscs of wear-resist
| ing yarn under that which appears
on the surface, and thus will render
many more years of satisfactory
! service than fabric where the Wis
ible yarn constitutes all there is.
! These rugs are made in all sizes
from small scatter rugs to the
| largest room size desired. Rugs
| for hotel lObbies have been made as
large as twenty-five to thirty feet
vide and over sixty feet long. AS
| for patterns and colorings, the
| range seems almost limitless. There
are dainty self color and damask
effects for bedrooms. exquisite Chi
hese patterns, for boudoir, den or
/ living room. magnificent Oriental
designs in rich colorings for dining
room or hall, and in addition many
! pretty patterns of an all-over char
acter suitable for any room, accord
ing to the taste of the purchaser.
The Chinese type of design is
more popular than ever and de
| serVedlv so. The best examples com
binc grace of form with much
wealth of color and it is remarkable
how closely the effects Of Il costly
Chinese rug are reproduced i'll the
best American Wiltons.
new note is being struck in the
growing popularity of designs and
, colorings Of the Spanish type. This
undoubtedly comes from the in
creased prevalence of Spanish archi-
lecture originating ON the west
coast and in Florida, where the
Spanish Influence has naturally de-
sccnded from the time when Spain
held dominion over these sections
and now, spreading through the
east and north.
: Somewhat probably as corollary.
to the the Spanish influence is ten
, Geucy toward the use of brighter
colors. Many of the newest designs
, are being shown with the ornamer-
tation colored in shades approach
/ Jag more nearly to the primary col
ors than has been the case for sew

taupc continues to lead i'll point of
popularity. Jade viii be more IL

One thing is certain that what

.SQUEAKY DOOR
R0U is THIEF

Escape of two men who tried to
rob the office of the American Build.
ing Company, 2OO3 West Magnolia
avenue, early Friday, was attributed
to the squeaking of door, as it was
opened by Night Waterman w. Ii.
Lovin, 220 Forest avenue.
Lovin fired two shots at one Of the
fleeing men, and told Detectives Sten.
debach and Proudfoot he believes he
hit his mark, because of loud out
cry made following the second
shot.
The sleuths made complete check
on hospitals, but no wounded person
had been treated at any of the inssi-
tutions.
The night Waterman was inside the
small office with the lights out when
he heard someone try to raise win
down. Remaining quiet, Lovin heard
the would-be burglar try to open the
front door when the window stuck,
and later, rear window.
Taking his pistol from table, the
Waterman opened the door and started
around the building. The man at
tempting to gain entrance had hearrf
the noise of the door opening and had
80 feet start on Loyin.
