wrote him that since he knew exactly the
door he wanted. it would be the height of
folly to choose any other kind. especially
since very slight alterations in the design of
the house would make the door he wanted
as suitable as one with side lights.
One reason why certain houses lack per-
sonality and character is that too often they
are assembled as collection of unrelated
objects. displayed as though on sale in shop,
and contributing nothing to the intention
that house of charm must express. One
might Just as we'll learn few disconnected
sentences in Hungarian Persian and Chinese
and imagine that they will contribute to ones

In short. precisely as the object of language
is to express your meaning, your object in
furnishing your house should be to express
your ideas of comfort. True some things are
added solely for the pleasure Of your eye, But
putting lot of things. which mean abso-
lutely nothing to you. into room that you
think yor like because someone tells you that

Unless house expresses you it may be

1t must be admitted that not all advice on
taste is sound. and very little of it is free from
personal bias. Even the best architects are
sometimes partial to one style and out OF
sympathy with another. Therefore their
enthusiasm for the first, and coolness toward
the second. is sometimes misleading to client
who thought he wanted the second

>A"At\N the subject of the
house in good taste,
One of the dis
putants contends that a mans house is one
place where he should be free from inter
ference by Others. and that if bad taste is
what he likes. he should be allowed to have it
without being subjected TO the masked for
criticism" of those who set themselves up as
experts.
In effect. this OPINION seems to be that
those who interfere most are those whose
taste is merely rubber stamp OF the rules
laid down by those who believe that what
ever can be sold to the We're de Veres OF Park
Lane Terrace will be accepted with shouts OF
Joy by all OF the families OF Boomville
junction.
The second debater contends that it is OF
utmost importance TO the cultural develop
ment of America as whole that the homes in
Boomville Junction duplicate those of Park
Lane Terrace. In other words, he believes that
good taste is good. and bad is bad. no matter
where it is found and that no compromise is
possible.
In reply to this II seems to me that the
: only way to attempt to answer this question
at all fairly is by making it compromise
from beginning to end. The truth is that
agree with both sides - almost equally
agree with the correspondent who thinks that
knowledge is better than ignorance and that
distinction is to be preferred TO vulgarity. and
that all offenses against taste are evidences OF
lack OF cultivation.
But. on the other hand. DO not consider
a rubber stamp OF the transient fashion OF the
moment reliable hallmark OF taste and do
agree with the argument as have written
time and time again that the very tnst law OF
good taste is suitability. and the first require
ment of suitability IS that man house shall
be pleasing to him and satisfying to his per
sonal requirements.
A house that expresses the personality OF
the architect or the decorator and not that
OF the owner. is song out OF tune. For ex-
ample. few years ago a notable architect
and an equally notable decorator finished a
house for a newly-rich man and his wife. As

Had the owners of this house been people

of life. He was fat and jolly. and his idea of
eRse was sitting in shrtsleeves and carpet

to the house and the house was nbecommg

A house for the family just noted should
have been one OF straight forward, uncut

comfortable and unspoilable furniture. And
its furnishings should certainly include an
appreciable number of possessions brought
with them from other days.

one Of the smallest acreages in recent
years will be planted to this crop.
The Missouri Pacific and Southern
Pacific have reported that q total
Of 207 cars Of seed potatoes were
shipped into the Valley. according to
figures obtained from the carriers
by Henry Alsmeyer. Cameron county
agent. This Is considerably less than
most years and even less than last
year when the paintings reached a
four-year low point.
The county agents files show as
many as 666 cars Of seed potatoes
shipped into the Valley in 1891. This
dropped in 1882 to 1876 cars, in 1888 to
39l and in 1884 to even less although
