The pictures themselves Allover Tucking do not need to be expensive origi- nals, if these are out of reach, but they should be properly used for best effect. Dull rooms look smart and colorless settings take on new brightness if the walls are properly adorned with pictures. These may be something youve clipped from greeting cards, calendars, papers or magazines. They may be inexpensive reproductions which are, however, true to the original. Good framing and background can dramatize even the inexpensive picture and make it an asset in your room. Clever groupings of pictures can become the center of attention in many a room, especially if you use some of the time-trie- d formulas for hanging them properly. Those who like a lot of pictures should be careful to group and place them in accordance with good decorating precepts. Pictures do not necessarily have to be of one type, but their framing and matting should bring them together enough to place them in a grouping for the sake of effectiveness. Making unlike pictures somewhat alike can frequently be done at home with good matting and fram- - 15 1 i ' A 1 " I? 4 Z 'V , .. .

Victorian bouquets. Early American historical scenes and Colonial portraits belong In rooms of these different periods. Modern paintings and prints are best in rooms of the current period, while floral and fruit prints, seascapes, family portraits, black and white etchings are considered neutral and may be used in any period type of rooms. For the neutral types, you may choose framing that goes with a certain period, if you want to keep all furnishings in harmony. A very decorative gilt frame on a family portrait might be used in one of the decorative French period rooms for unity, while in a modern home the same picture could be framed in simple light wood or ebony type to be in keeping. If your home is a combination of traditional and modern, then some pictures of either type may be used, provided theyre in good taste. Use Pictures in Harmony With Wall Space Everyone of us has seen pictures used in disproportion to the wall space available, and has had an un easy feeling about the result. No matter how good the picture, how nice the framing, the effect is no suitable if the wall space is not there. Avoid too large pictures in small er rooms. If you have no small ones, its better to eliminate them entirely. As a general rule, ornate wall papers which you may have usee to make a large room look less its Beware Cough From Common Colds That HANG 01 bedside table. Use Common Sense In Hanging Pictures To be seen to best advantage, pictures are hung at eye level for the average person. If there are several pictures in the group, the bottom lines of all pictures should, of course, be at the same level. Lets take, for example, the chest or sofa that is quite low. Is it then wise to hang the picture at eye level? No, common sense as well as unity and balance dictate that this picture or grouping would look best hung low enough on the wall to become almost a unit with couch or chest. The above frequently happens in a chest in the hall or even a room. The better the pitcure is tied to the chest, the more dramatic the effect. If you have taken the colors for the room from such a picture, use it close above the chest, and try to get one or two accessories to place on the chest. These accessories should have lighter or darker color of the same hue as that in the picture. Centering a picture on the wall is done for pleasing and restful feeling. However, if you have a massive arrangement of plants or a lamp on one side of the wall, the large print or group of small ones can be slightly off center to balance the mass properly. Pictures will stay hung straight f they are fastened with wire run through a small screw eye at each side of the frame. They should be flat against the wall, with no wires showing in a V above the frame. Decorative Plates Substitute for Prints Those who have decorative plates may prefer to hang them on the wall in place of pictures.
