tistic work, the labor it entails is
mipimized, for there is added a zest
that is energiZing.
In the readjustment Of furnishings
to conform to new spaces and sur
roundingS certain things must be
borne in mind to insure success.
Nothing is more important than bal
ance. A room is one-sided and top
heavy when tall pieces line one wall,
while the others have low articles
along them. Spaces must be inter-
rupted to please the eye as we'll as to
fit the furniture. Sometimes there Is
nothing to give the impression of
height required. Height must tnen he
simulated sometimes to get the effect
of balance. y picture, Il mirror or a
wall hanging above a table. daVen-
port or a low bookcase gives such an
appearance.
Placing OF Rugs.
Be sure to see that the rugs are laid
TO accent length when rooms are wide
and width when rooms are longer
than vide This adjustment will prob
ably be at variance with the previous
arrangement of them. Moreover,
such a plan must suit the placing OF
furniture. When properly done there
is a perfection about the appearance
of the room which pleases the fancy,
just as the solving of a puzzle gives
a glow of satisfaction.
Adapting Color Schemes.
A matter that is likely to cause de-
cided transformations is the need oil
shifting the color scheme of one room
to another. Perhaps the owners
room has been done in chintz with
bright yellow dominating color to
give the effect of sunlight in an other
wise shady room. In the new house
the owners room may be flooded with
sunshine and the yellow tone quite
out of place, Then it should be trans
ferred to a sunless room where 1t Is
essential and the color scheme of the
rooms exchanged. Such change is
sure to be needed in some rooms. and
the adaptations are often among the
most difficult in the readjusting OF
home furnishings after moving.
New Conditions.
1t is said that a new home always
means new furniture and furnishings.
This cost increases the expense Incl
dent to moving. While it is true that
new things are usually bought when
a family goes into new living quar-
ters. the number of them can be cut
