Close your eyes, just for min
ute-then look around at the rooms
you live in. How many of the things
in your home are an expression of
you? How much of the decorative
detail did you think up yourself?
What do you see that isn't dupli-
Gated in the homes of your friends
and your neighbors?
Discouraging thought? Yet. we
all follow much the same pattern in
decoration as our neighbors, per-
haps from the fear of errors in
judgment. costly mistakes that must
be lived with, willy-nilly.
But what Is it that makes the
home of an original woman really
distinctive? Carefully executed de-
tails. small but noteworthy, make
her home more than a collection of
belongings. These details are the
expression of personality.
Walls Big Aid.
Some OF the greatest possibilities
for using your own ingenuity and
playing with your own ideas are on
the walls of your house. Four walls
and ceiling are the largest deco
rative area in any room. What YOU
do with these may set the pattern
for the whole interior.
Color, sunshine, cheerfulness and
gaiety may be built in by the right
color in your wallpaper A restful
peaceful. quiet background may be
created by the same method-the
right choice of pattern and the color
on your walls.
these days with the hundreds of
wallpapers available which have
been carefully styled and combined
by skilled decorators so that they
are correct in color and pattern.
Brighten Drab Walls.
Another smart accessory to drab
walls is the bright bands of trim
ming which may be used for bor-
ders to light up the room. Most
ordinary window openings may be-
come the center of attraction with
trims of trailing ivy or bright gar
lands surrounding them. Door OPEN
ings, baseboards, chair rails or cor
nice are all points at which these
bands of decoration are helpful.
There is wide choice of all types
of design. Not only the fowered
borders, which have always been
useful to make a bedroom or ndc-
sery more delightful, but there are
available neat architectural borders
and period designs that are applica-

the schemes of both rooms by using
colors which harmonic with the
scene 1t frames as we'll as the room
in which it is set.
Set Off Dining Alcove.
Suppose you have large living
room, one end of which serves as
dining room or dining alcove. So
many modern homes are thus ar
ranged. You would like to suggest
subtly without the use of heavy
partitions or screens that you have
two separate units in the room.
You may run two or three strips of a
vertical border from floor to ceiling
between the two sections of the
room, setting off your dining unit
from therest of the room.
Be bold about dormer window
that cuts up the wall space in one
of your bedrooms. Turn it into an
asset by framing the alcove with a
sWirly ribbonette border in red or
blue on cream background.
Wallboard Suggested.
For the playroom or the room of
a teen-ager you might frame a huge
piece of wallboard to make bull
letln board using the same border
which is used around the ceiling of
Dashboard. A sure-fire hit for an
ultrafeminine room is romance,
a streamer of morning glories and
roses in soft rose and blue and
honey-perfect accompaniment for
chintz-covered furniture or dra-
peries.
This type of decoration is one
that you may do yourself with no
equipment other than a straight
edge, scissors and stepladder. The
trimming bands come with the

of mortgage holdings in that period.
The increase in the total of mort
gage investments of the life in
surance companies was almost en-
tirely in mortgages on homes, fac
tories and improved city real estate.
While farm mortgages remained at
approximately 5000, 100000, other
mortgages rose from $500, 900 900
to IS 800 900 900, it was reported.
Real estate holdings of life insur-

Office buildings, other properties
needed in the business. and housing
developments as well as foreclosed
real estate, amounted to $1,720, ,OOO,-
600 at the start of the year. This
was 4.9 per cent of total life insur-
ance assets and represented a de-
crease of $150,000000 during 1912
and $340.00O,000 in the last two
years. This decrease reflects the
improved real estate situation
which has permitted extensive sales
of foreclosed properties by the life
companies, the institute said.

Commenting on the first quarter

the Ohio valley in the early 1905
but whose plans were upset when
his brother, the Prophet, launched

was badly defeated at the Battle of

One of the first of the lighting

to enlist in Uncle Sans armed

Out in Nevada a county and a

Neat Wall Pocket for

FAIRLY American wall pockets
- cut out of light weight pine or
scraps of half inch material may
have many modern uses. In the
kitchen they are just the thing for
ration books and a pad for the
grocery list. Just inside the front
door one will lend a decorative
note and make a convenient place
for driving gloves and keys.
Originally these pockets were
made in a great variety of de-
signs and were used for letter
boxes. They are still useful for
this purpose or for leave-a-note
pad and pencil. If you enjoy work.
ing with wood you may want to
cut these pockets out by hand with
a coping saw as shown here. II
