Art on a Budget

Most men and women are per-
fectly capable of furnishing their
homes in good taste. When it comes
to color schemes, furniture, rugs and
draperies they know what they want
and will select and arrange with un-
erring skill. But when it comes to
the pictures to adorn the walls they
are lost in a maze of beWilderment.
Most of us are not too sure what
constitutes good art. We hear "orig-
inal paintings" mentioned in hushed
tones. We hear framed litho-
graphs" derided, and experience has
proved that good lithograph often
appeals to us much more than an in
ferior painting, from the art and
budget standpoint. The fact re-
mains that the best of both is art
in its own right, and may be equally
decorative depending on the way it
Is used.

into a store together, he will imme-
diately wander away from me, even
though want his opinion on the

street car together, he acts as
though he had never seen me be-
fore. If I start a conversation with
him, he replies in monosyllables as
If he were speaking to a stranger.
When we are In public together, he
seems to try to dodge me.
When ask him for a divorce. he
goes into hysterical fit and is sick
for days. try to reason with him
as a mother might, but it does no
good. He wants me to stay with him,
yet when he treats me like this it
hurts. l do not know why, unless it
is because I weigh $50 pounds. I
have been in pictures and am

instead of a curse, and the more
there is of a woman, the more she is
admired and desired. No sheik falls
for skinny girl. 1t is only in our
own country that the curious cult
OF the worship of the living skeleton
prevails, and the bonier girl is,
the more likelihood she has of snar-
ing husband.
Why men should have this obses-
sion for stringbeans, no one can
explain. Certainly the girl with a
lean and hungry look is not so easy
on the eyes as the well-fed one. Nor
is she so pleasant to live with, be-
cause a full stomach makes for am
liability, and any woman on a diet
has her nerves and her temper on
edge and is just about as safe to
deal with as any other half-starved
animal.
Any man who marries a woman
who tries to keep her figure takes
his own appetite into his hands, SO
to speak, because the woman who
counts her calories and turns down
the rich and nourishing foods that
do awful things to her waist line,
forces her husband to starve with
her. She feeds him on spinach and
other weeds and grasses that were
never intended for human consump-
ton, and the only way he can get a
square mean is to sneak out the
back door and go to a restaurant.
yet in spite of all this, for a wife
to get fat and lose her figure is still
considered an alibi for her husband
to let his eyes roam over the light
weights, so that the wife who wishes
to retake her husbands affections
has to practically choose between
him and the mayonnaise lar.

because 1t Is copy of an old mas
ter, or because 1t Is universally ac-
'cepted. The old master, in the
original, might not have pleased
you, either, and none of us want the

Also, there is q mean low In cost

hold to be worth his trifiing cost.
Select another subject by the same
painter. Pay "a for it, and another
81 for the right frame and you have
something to grace an important
wall space.
Another vital point is to fit your
picture into its background. The
above mentioned BLUE Boy" would
be very much at home in the luxuri-
ously appointed 18th century home,
but utterly lost In the early-Ameri-
can or modern interior. An impor-
tant and dramatic picture may hold
lts own with no assistance from sur
rounding accessories, but many of
them are helped by an accompani-
ment of carefully selected items
keyed to the character of the paint
ing.
A group Of porcelains depicting
colored folk singing and dancing
might be used on a table under a
painting of deep south cotton fields.
A bowl of real fruit makes a framed
collection of fruit prints in dining
room doubly impressive. Simple flow
er arrangements often interpret the
spirit OF a painting effectively.
Leather and bronze go we'll with
carved wood figures. Metal sculp-
ture, or plaster in verde green which
looks like metal, find a proper COM
plement in marble or alabaster. Sc
lect your texture and scale Of ac-
companying articles with the same
care you do the color and compost
ton of your pictures.
Reproductions of famous paintings
OF framable size may be secured
through the museums, such as the
Mellon Gallery here and the Metro
politan in New York, from about s4
up. The Metropolitan also has ex-
quisite plaster casts for around $4,
which includes mailing charges. As
sociated American Artists offer fine
gelatone prints of many of the mod
ern artists works which are pri-
vately owned. These are around SO,
but the finish gives the actual gloss
and sheen of the original. Add to
this first cost the amount necessary
for distinctive framing and you
have work of art which you may
be proud of forever.
