Of artistic appeal that artistry alone is
sufficient. For example. there are orna-

FURNITURE IS CLASSIC APPROPRIATE


There are scores Of types OF interior
decoration; some Of them are nothing
more nor less than fads that f1uctuate
with the seasons. and are lost in very
short time. Others are built on fine
classic foundations. and While details
may vary. the articles needed in the
decoration are fine in line and graceful
in form. so that even when the special
decorative era is passed. the things re-
main sufficiently beautiful never to be
discarded. The homemaker finds il
necessary to distinguish between the
two and TO follow one or The other.
Just now there are So many fads IN
decoration that il is necessary to be on
ones guard not 10 be influenced too
much by them, unless one has a deep
purse and can afford to redecorate
when the new" decoration becomes old
II IS often amazing what goes out in
the name Of good" decoration The
question comes, How does it rank as
good decoration" Once / heard an
artist question II there was any real
standard of taste in decoration He
declared that what was considered good
in one period was taboo in another,
with apparently no better reason than
that i vas out Of style.
Granting that there is much TO be
said on this side. there does remain a
background of fine taste against which
poor decoration shows forth in its true
Light. For instance. overornate furni-
ture in which the work is machine done
Is poor. However. If the decoration is
