Placing dress ad the V'irst ami most important medium to charm the world individually and collectively i would say that the fittings and fur nishings of her house afford a woman her second opportunity The respon Biblllty for the architecture of hid home Is usually accredited to th nun. but on the woman falls the onus of a successful or unsuccessful, an effective or an Ineffective interior. llrr hou6e. we may say, stands as a background against which shf shows to her world; if It is refined, if IIS COlUrlUB IS SC'I I ctllU llcll 1UU1UUUD and If it is unworried by useless and BnpertlOUt decorntlons, she is correspondingly corre-spondingly attractive to her friends. Assuming that the woman is awnr.i of the fact, It often happens that she Is uncertain what to do to attain this result, though she may covet it. It is my purpose in these Articles on the ethics ol house furnishing to practically practic-ally demonstrate the simplest ways in which It may be accomplished. The Idea which obtains with many thi money Is the only necessary requisite to a beautiful house Is a fallacy Tlv. woman who makes this excuse for an unattractive home is utterly in the wrong, and I hope through the m' dium of these talks to he able to niak? it clear to her One or the first things that she must realize is that there is as much beauty in certain simple schemes of furnlshinp and decorating as in the most elaborate French style of roco co art The real satisfaction to a critical artistic sen6e is not so much in the quality of the thing used as its peculiar pe-culiar fitness for the place assigned it and its harmony in color and design de-sign with its surroundings In treating treat-ing of dining rooms there are certain general rules to be observed in their decoration thai It would be well to speak of before going Into del ail' I schemes In oven the most unassuminc house ,the dignity of this room should bo preserved At the same time, we should be careful in designing an elab-, elab-, orate and expensive one not to make it overawing in the magnificence of its decorations or severe In its elegance ele-gance for then psychologically the dining di-ning room Is ruined It should be BO designed as to promote to the utter-most utter-most the feeling of genialty and good cheer and the decoration can actual! go far toward farthering this most de sirablo result The colonial dining room is apt to be cold In its suggestion, and I have often corrected this fault by a discreet me of potted plants, inside window boxes, etc The Dutch dining room Sometimes degenerates into a bromid-al bromid-al use of steins and platters, and I have seen a French room that wan wearisome in its tapestries, gilding?, and rococo effects. The corrector for all these failings, it goes wi'.lWr saying, is good taste. Figured goods are seldom as effective effec-tive for window draperies as plain material, and a chlnu dining room Is an offense against good taste HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
