fixtures of simple design have been

small Chinese prints give interest as

4 C0lorful Dining Room.

Color is a very important item to
be considered in the decoration of our
dining rooms. We must have cheer
full, pleasing colors there if we are to
enjoy ourselves at our meals. We
must take care not to have colors that
trritate us or make us restless, for, as
the psychologists tell us, these factors
affect our good health.
One very lovely dining room in this
city is model of good color. Since
its windows, facing east, look out
upon brick wall some 10 or Il feet
away, the room is none too light and
almost never has sunlight Also it
has no outlook. To give it the neces-
sary sunny effect, the walls and wood.
work have been painted corn yellow,
which is a very satisfactory shade.
being neither too green nor vet too
hot looking. The old handcarved
mantelpiece has been painted the
same color as the wall and woodwork.
It's color is beautifully set off by the
facing around the hearth, which has
been painted to simulate dark green
marble.
Curtains Reduce Warmth.
To counteract the warmth of the
walls and woodwork, overcurtains of
blue-green taffeta have been used at
the windows. This same color is
found again in the foliage of the large
flower painting which hangs over the
sideboard and also in the screen which
shields the view from the dining room
into the buffers pantry.
Since the view across to the brick
wall of the house next door is far
from interesting, a clever scheme had
been resorted to to make up for this
deficiency. Roller shades made of
glazed chintz in a formal flower de-
sign were hung at each window. These
are pulled half way down during the
daytime. Being transparent, they
admit a lovely light into the room.
No one looking into the room thinks
now of the blank brick wall. for the
shades are too interesting in them
selves to allow it. The colors in these
shades, fortunately, blend with the
yellows and greens found elsewhere
in the room.
The screen is easily the most dis
tinctive object in the room and in fact
gives the whole room its character.
1t Is an old hand-painted Chinese
paper screen. dating from about 1890,
similar to several exhibited in the
Freer Art Gallery. Against a ground
or silvery cream Chinese, figures
dressed in richly colored suits and
dresses enact for us an interesting
little comedy that must at all times
give interest to those who come to
the room. The screen is of four
panels, each in itself complete and vet
each supplementing the one adioin.

Purchases Should Be Safe

1t is mistake to buy beyond ones
ability to pay, for that usually results
in the loss of the home or in most
discouraging struggle. The purchase
should be safe-thus, if a family can
not pay $1,000 for a house, a $4,000
house may be within it's means.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-11

Is there a requirement to build a
house of a certain minimum cost?
Could that much be afforded? Are
the private restrictions such that a
home will surely be protected? For
what period do the restrictions run?
1t often happens that the private re-
strictions were made to run for, say,
25 years and they may be about TO
expire, leaving the home unprotected.
Verbal representations concerning
other buildings in the neighborhood
are of no binding force on their
owners.
The advantages of having a home
within the jurisdiction of good fire
and police department protection are
obvious.

AN EDITORIAL

The Gazette is hopeful that some time be-
tween now and the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in January every citizen of voting age
will study the question of the slight additional
tax for the city band There is no doubt that
the city needs a band and the proposed plan of
making the expense Of such an organization a
part of the city budget seems feasible and wise
one The returns will be large for small ex-
penditure. 1t may be well to take pencil and
figure out just how much of an additional tax
you will pay on your property at the actual in
crease of one-fourth mill Then you will be able
to vote wisely and without any fear of being
nggardly in your decision. band is one of
the biggest booster assets" any town can have.
Redwood Falls has had good bands in the past
and it is unfortunate that for one cause and
another these bands have been allowed to become
defunct or to be revived only now and then and
for very inconsiderable periods. This is our op-
portunity to make the band permanent fix
ture-let's set about doing it.

SUNDAY. DECEMBER 4. is SELL
ECTED AS DATE FOR OBSERV-
ANCE. CHRISTIANSON LAUDS
WORK OF ORGANIZATION.

To help provide for the care, simple
schooling and training for life of 33,-
900 children in Near East Relief or
phanages, Gold Rule Sunday will be
observed in Redwood Falls on Decem-
Der 4th. The Near East Relief, an
organization under the supervision of
Congress, has ministered to more
than 100000 children in it's own or
in supervised institutions in Greece
and its islands, Armenia and Persia,
Syria and Palestine. 1t has $4,000
children under its care today, 55 per-
cent of whom are under Is years of
age.
A new plan of organization which
is to make each church a unit for the
observance of Golden Rule Sunday
will be used in Redwood Falls instead
of the house-to-house canvass. The
following committee has been delegat-
ed to take charge of the campaign:
Mrs. Lillian Hall, Episcopal church;
Mrs. C. D. Clipfell, Christian church;
Mrs. C. A. Lauterbach. Catholic

church; Mrs. Emil F. Buenger, Ger
man Lutheran church; Mrs. o. A.
Stensvad, English Lutheran church,
and Mrs. ]. J. Christensen, Presby-
terian church.
The work of the Near East Relief
not only includes the providing of the
necessities of life, according to Gov
ernor Theodore Christianson, state
chairman, but in addition it maintains
a supervision over its orphan inmates
until they have become an integral
part of the community.
"The work of the Near East Re-
lief is applied Christianity" Cover
nor Christianson said. ''The Bible
lands are full of orphaned children
whose parents died for their faith
during and following the war. These
boys and girls have been salvaged,
fed, trained and educated to lives of
usefulness by American philanthropy
as represented by the Near East Re-
lief. 1 hope that every community
in the state will aid in making Golden
Rule Sunday, December 4, a day Of
assurance that the great work of.the
Near East Relief will continue until
its task is done"
