Dark Walls Can

My walls have distemper, she walled The lady was exaggerating but nevertheless dark walls, the sort that aren't deliberately planned by a smart decorator can present a difficult problem. Not many years ago many English type homes were built with darkish rough plaster walls. We don't think the builders had the esthetic values so much in mind as the fact that such walls are extremely practical, never showing dirt or children's finger marks. But what to do about them if the budget doesn't allow a complete change of wall-vieW?
 And what if our furniture bought to last lifetime does not exactly fit in background like that? With the dark tan rough plaster. the ideal type of furniture is Jacobean- heavy, sturdy oak that dignifies the Gark walls But with a heteroge- neous group of furniture. it is still

 Now Peter and Rumble are old friends and neighbors, and it sur. prised Peter to have Rumble refuse his request. But when Rumble, who is very short-tempered and much given to rumbling and grum- bling, not only refused, but took Peter to task and gave him regu- lar scolding for trying to find that storehouse, Peter hadn't been able to find a word to say.

GO SAID Peter Rabbit to himself O as he sadly took his way back to the dear Old B-iar Patch. Peter was tired, for he had had a long hunt to find Rumble. His nose was sore, for Rumble had thrust a sharp little lance into it to teach Peter not to poke his wobbly. inquisitive little nose into places where it had no business to be. But Peter wouldn't have minded these things if he had found out what he wanted to know. But he didn't find out thing, and so he was anything but his usual happy self as he plodded wearily along. He was hot, tired, disap- pointed, and cross,
 And it was all because Peter wanted to find out where the store house of Bumble's cousin, Mistress Busy Bee, was, so that he could tell Buster Bear, who is very fond of honey, and so make Buster his friend. He knew that it was in hollow tree, probably high up, some where in the Green Forest, but however was he, who couldn't climb trees and couldn't fly. going to find out? Then Jimmy Skunk had suggested that if he wanted to find out, which he didn't, he would ask some one who knew to tell him. Right away Peter had thought of Rumble Bee. Of course Rumble Bee

possible to achieve a pleasant warm room, even if the walls are darkly forbidding.
 The rug should have brilliance. Use bright Turkish type oriental, a modern rug or a twist weave broadloom in warm vibrant color. Or polish the floor to shining splen- dor and use bright throw rugs. The sombre walls won't matter if the floor is gleaming. Windows should be treated simply, yet colorfully. Try Stripes-clear greens with pale rust, bright blues with deep dubon. net-in simply tailored draw-type draperies and with no glass cur. tains, of course.
 Furniture can be pulled together with slip covers; rough teXtured tweedy material in neutral-toned stripes might be the thing for the sofa, while incisive tones of the col ors used in the draperies could be picked out for upholstered chairs. Season with ceramics and get as many highlights in the rooms as possible. Perhaps a huge green bottle standing in one corner will catch the light from the hall and drag it by it's heels into the room.
 If one or two pieces of furniture can be added try a long, low oak table in front of the fireplace or g sturdy, straight-backed Jacobear arm chair.

you ought to be ashamed of your self to ask an old friend like me to make trouble for one of his own relatives" Rumble had said. Tt would be bad enough for you to try to make trouble yourself, and wouldn't have believed it of you before this. But to try to get me to tell you where my cousins store house is so that that great robber, Buster Bear, can steal all she has worked so hard to make and save is is-why. it's-it's just awful Buz-z-z, buz-z-z, l never heard of such a thing! How would you like to have your cousin, Jumper the Hare. go tell Reddy Fox of a hiding place where he would be sure to catch you? You'd think it's per fectly dreadful, wouldn't you? We'll, what you have asked me to do is just as bad Yes. sir, it's every bit as bad" You see Rumble had guessed right away why Peter want ed to find that storehouse.
 Now Peter had not once thought of it in that way. It was new idea to him. He thought it all over after he got back to the dear Old Briar Patch as he nursed his sore nose. Little by little he began to see that Rumble was right. Why, " said he to himself, 'I didn't think of it in that way Of course, wouldn't want Rumble to do any thing to hurt one of his own rela tlves. Of course not I didn't once think that finding that storehouse and telling Buster was going to hurt any one. But, of course. if he stole the honey, ,-why-well, l wouldn't like it if it were my honey"
