"When friends are nt out liearth side
met,
Sweet eourte#y hath done its most
If we can make each guest forget
That he himself is not tile host."
—T. B. Aldrleh.
It is an established fact, and one of
which we may be justly proud, that
the home-loving and home-seeking
ipirlt is manifest in every section of
the United States. And to the never-
ceasing care and forethought of the
mistress of the house Is this condition
due. To her Is this article respectfully
fledicated, with the earnest hope that
It may definitely help her to keep her
hearthstone ever bright, and ever at-
tractive to these for whom bhe is en-
deavoring to create an atmosphere to
which they may be unconsciously and
fleliciously sensitive.
More effect may be gained by stud-
led lighting than by any other medium
in household decoration. Throwing
new light, or perhaps less light, on
old furnishings is of vastly more Im-
portance than a new rug, or even new
wall coverings. Many architects and
Interior decorators do not favor any
ceiling lights; some consider them In-
dispensable, especially in dining
rooms, where a concentrated effect is
desired. However, I have seen some
very wonderfully lighted homes with
nary a ceiling fixture. Six or eight
sets of side brackets supply the neces-
sary light, with a floor lamp and desk
candles for spot lights. Shield shades
for sconces and candles are very love-
ly", but reflect onto the wall rather
than direct the light roomward. Noth-
ing Is prettier on a dining table than
real old-fashioned wax tapers. Also,
electric candles are hard to manage
and the effect isn't go homey as with
the sputtery kind. And "homeyness"
is. what we arc Striving for.
For bedrooms come Dresden candle-
sticks, wired, and fitted with veritable
petticiats of flowered silk with lace
flounces for a shade. Also ivory
wicker floor lamps with chlvitz lin-
ings, and silken tassels wherewith to
presto—light or darkness. Along with
the electric appliances are to be men-
tioned ivory-tinted telephones with
sprays of flowers painted thereon, and
white silk cords, wherever cords are
visibly needed.
A living room, to be all that the
word Implies, should have for its
prime object durability and usefulness.
Happily these words do not carry with
them the drab, black-horse-hair-
meaning they once did. Nowadays
useful furniture Is, more often than
not, quite artistic, as well as quite rea-
sonable, Several large firms make a
specialty of excellent lines In medium
priced furniture, using mostly Colonial
and early Kngllsh periods as the most
popular styles.
Hang a mirror, place thereon one of
the new glass vacuum vases filled with
posies; place a Windsor chair close by,
and see the effoct. A housewife need
never be afraid of mixing periods or
styles in furnishingB. It Is being done
nowadays, and If one is In doubt, there
is always a decorator near at hand
whose especial study and experience
will help one over the rough places.
Books are always safe, creating a*
they do a feeing of coziness. To hold
the "best sellers" on one's library
table come very handsome book-ends
In bronze, in Delia Kobbla ware, as
well as gayly flowered ones of painted
Iron or wood.
Mirrors and pictures are being hung
by silk cords, with tow tassels that

cover the brass hanger at the moulding
These cords may be had In colors to
match the hangers, and are rather
dear. Hut these is always a way to
circumvent high prices when otia
really wants a certain effect.
Dining rooms arc becoming gayer
and demanding careful treatment, it
a clear-cut, dignified effect is to be
sought after. Wise selection in tl.e
rugs and wall coverings tends to solve
the problem. Chinese rugs in blue,
rose or gold are quite good, and nearly
all of them have a narrow black bor-
der which is very striking. Brown
mahogany and walnut are most popu-
lar for conservative tastes, but how
quaint are the severely simple pieces
and sets painted in the soft new
colors!
One suite of mahogany consists of
a Sti-inch sideboard with knife-urns
on each end, one master's arm-chair
and eleven straight chairs, all uphols-
tered in blue striped haircloth. The
china cabinet has doors of the wood
delicately embossed.
Egyptian blue and Cafe au lait are
two new shades In painted furniture.
<;ray is very good also; one cottage
set 1 have in mind is soft gray with
sprays of violets and maidenhair.
Among its good points are a drop-
leaf table, and comfortable chairs.
Itedrooms are no longer the pink,
blue or rose consistences we once
knew. The wallpaper and furniture
may harmonize in tone, but there the
likeness iu c.ilor ends. Canary satin-
striped paper and soft yellow furni-
ture starts out with demurest inten-
tions, when lol there bibs up serenely
a chaise longue upholstered In tur-
quoise blue, with pillows of cherry-
colored taffeta or amethyst satin.
The rug is just as apt to be grass
green as not, and the., hangings will
probably run amuck in rainbow
stripes. Some of tlie,<!e parti-colored
rooms are very, very attractive and
decidedly nice in conforming to one's
various costume* Hut it is not al-
ways advisable to seek unusual or
bizarre effects, unless one has unlim-
ited means. For when we chercher
la femme, she Is nearly always in her
sanctum and restfulness should be the
keynote rather than startling com-
binations of color. However, a room
in lavender and blue, or In amber
and pink, or in deep purple and gray,
could be worked out with delightful
results and create an original appear-
ance without running the risk of be-
ing too ultra.
Of utmost importance is the choice
of pictures in the home. If those we
have seem unsuitable, and the auspi-
cious moment for cold-blooded purch-
asing new ones has not presented it-
self. It is far better to leave our walls
unadorned, l'pr nothing can make
or. mar a room to so great an extent
as pictures. Clever placement and Ir-
reproachable taste are necessary and
wise is she who, feeling unsure, con-
sults one who knows.
• "orrnins eome in every imHKin«ble
material and in many lovely color
combinations, despite the constant Cry
of failing dye-pots. Very good'are
the now colored etamtnes, which are
made sill length and finished in self-
tone' fringe, '"or cottage or small
apartment these constitute sufficient
window coverings in themselves.
Glass curtains are mostly small figur-
ed net in square nio.-h. Draperies
are very rich in effect, being of case-
ment cloth, linen, cretonne, taffeta or
damask. Nothing is daintier for the
Colonial eight-paned window than
dotted swisa with fluted ruffles and
white cords to tie them back.
For the sun parlor, which is fast
becoming a delightful necessity, th> re
arc sets In colored wicker, a° well as
newer ideas in painted chairs and
tables. ' In these cherry, glass-enclos-
ed rooms one can he more prodigal
in choice of color combinations or
contrasts. A black wrought iron con-
sole with top of black glass has a
mirror to match and would be equal-
ly effective in the entrance hall.
Lamp bases, book ends and smoking
sets in Japanese lacqfucr lend an at-
tractive up pea ranee.
New and useful are the shoe shin-
hronm or upper hall.
They come In mahogany, fumed oak
or ivory, stand about thirty inches
from the lloor on high legs; a door
opens to disclose two partitions for
several pairs of shoes and drawers to
hold various "shine," perquisities.
Bathroom conveniences are taking
on stylish proportions. For our nec-
essary poisons we need no longer have
the skull and crossbones pasted on a
long-necked bottle. Fair, fat (and
forty, if you want em) bottles have
clean-cut black letterings on the
front, glass stoppers, and in all prob-
ability an Illogical bouquet of flowers
painted saucily beneath the warning
letters. Duplicate bottles hold anti-
septics, toilet waters and medicines.
Separate shaving stands have special
mirrors and compartments for acces-
sories to sartorial comfort.
You may have talked through your
hat, but hardly yet through the pettl-
skirts of a maid in a mop-cap. And
you shouldn't, unless you are perfect-
ly sure there is a house telephone in-
side. These fetching disguises come
In various styles to suit the rooms
they grace and are indeed preferable
to the usual sqtlare, prosaic mouth-
piece we all know.
For the sewing room come absurd
machines no larger than a small type-
writer, and enthroned, if you please,
upon a slender-legged table in wood
to match the cutting table and chairs.
Cabinets to hold sketches, patterns
and scraps In order may seem a bit
pretentious, but are no doubt very
comforting and helpful to the modest
modi-'te, especially should she happen
to have a temperamental assortment
of ideas.
An American flag that was flying
from a staff in front of the summer
home, of Oliver B, I'oole, at Kaccoon
island, Quiticy, was struck by light-
ning recently and torn to shreds. In
the exact center of the flag was a
rent starting from the staff. Each
of the two pieces left \v;fs torn in
three pieces, and when the storm had
died down it was seen that the pieces
had been braided together as though
done by human hands. The flag has
two braids, each about thirty inches
long.
('apt. Alfred L. Ganahl, age 23,
of Springfield, is said to be the young-
est captain in the United States army
engineering corps. In his third year
at Springfield high school in 1911, Ga-
nahl was appointed to West I'olnt. In
his senor year nt the military acad-
emy he was one of the honor men.
Negro Killed by Mob.
England, Ark., Sept. 13.—Samuel
Cates, negro, was shot to death last
night by a mob, after taking him
from a deputy constable. Cates was
charged with making improper pro-
posals to white girls.
Another Air Raid Made.
(Associated Presa Dispatch.)
London, Sept. 14.—British navn;
airplanes made another raid on the
night of Wednesday and Thursday on
German military establishments in
Belgium, an admiralty statement to-
day says.
Traveling machine shops, carried on
motor trucks, are being used in Eng-
land to repair automobiles broken
down on country roads.
Florida contains about four million
acres of land waiting to be reclaim-
ed by proper drainage. Contracts for
draining almost the entire Everglade
region have been made.
The Dot Detective
(Copyright—1317—-by.John N. Wbei lcr. In«* >
After some difficulty Ira T.cnt managed to find the chifing dish and
some alcohol, after which he turned to the Dot Detective and asked: "Well,
what do you think that you could! eat?"
The Dot Detective smiled a wan smile and said faintly, I think I could
do with six or seven eggs, scrambled."
"SIX OR SEVEN EGGS!" yelled Ira I.ent "What are you talking
about? Do you think I am a millionaire? Do you think 1 have a "
