cheaper rugs will be of plain effect,
not absolutely one shade, but suf-
ficiently varied so as not to show
soil easily. One color scheme
should be selected for all the living
portion, and everything selected
with this in mind. If there is much
sunshine, gray, green or blue may
be desired as background, though
any one of these may be warmed
OR cooled by appropriate combin'
alton with other colors. For the
darker house with less sunshine,
the warmer browns, tans or rose.
Remember that brilliant colors
should be used in small amounts,
and softened where larger amounts
are to be used.

there is a fowl rack for each per

the other furnishings in order that
you might satisfy some of your

whether or not there is one large

Whether the dining room is
simply one end of the living room

In The Living Room.
"If there is a fireplace in the
living room this naturally suggests
davenport. This need not be
expensive. Heavy oyer-stuffed
pieces are quite out of place in the
small house. If the center of the
living room furnishings is to be a
davenport, get one with simple
designs in keeping with the lines
of the house, and select the other
furnishings around it. A davenport,
an easy chair, simple rocker, and
one or two other comfortable
chairs usually makes sufficient
provision for gathering around the
fire. A table is desirable, long and
narrow if it is to go back of the
davenport, or a gate leg table to
one side for the light and the latest
magazines. Built-in book shelves
with books help to furnish the
living room.

NIGHT CLUBS FAST
CLOSING IN LONDON
Press Starts Campaign to
Find Reason for Number
of Failures.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 30.-Night clubs
are fizzling out so fast in London that
the newspapers are conducting extern
Sive post mortemS in an effort to find
out why the clubs, which are touted
rs being so gay, are passing into
bankruptcy or are padlocked for
violating their liquor licenses by
selling after hours.
THE plain truth is that the public
has got on to the fact that most of
the so-called exclusive night clubs are
deadly dull and boresome and not
half as pleasant a place to dance as
the larger hotels and restaurants
which keep within the law one
extortionate rates for drink and food
and do not deliver the goods"
Lack of Personality.
Lack of personality" is the reason
the Evening Standard ascribes for the
failure of night clubs. This paper
says it takes an overtowering per-
sonality to make a night club a sue
cess and there are not many such
persons to be had, even at extremely
high prices.
At one time there was a clamor that
some of the clubs would have to
L
actress, t. return to London, as she
had succeeded in interfering life into
the cabarets in several of the night
clubs.
Exclusive Theory Upset.
The theory that night clubs are
exclusive has been upset by prosecu-
tions which showed that very mixed
crowds and many non-members were
admitted. Other clubs have protested
that they are not of the same char
acter as those which got into the
hands of the police.
But hotels of high and low degree
now have jazz bands which are just
as good, or better, than any club can
afford, and many of the hotels and
restaurants and cafes have cabaret
performances which surpass those of
the highest-priced night clubs.
