INTERIOR DECORATOR TELLS tn IDEAS Harmony Governed by Rules, says New York Woman “Art in Decoration,” with” a discus sion of the fundamental principles of applied art in decorating homes and rooms, was the subject of an address given by Mrs. Grace AVilniot to nieirt bers of the class in practical ethics, yesterday morning. Mrs. Wilmot is a consulting decorator in New York city, and lias spent many years in the inter ests of beautifying home interiors. -It is only of late years that the ne cessity for harmony1 in color as well ns in form .has been appreciated.” said Airs. Wilmot. Harmony in color, she declared, is not produced casually or by chance, but by the application of mills mid principles governing selection, just as harmony in form comes from proper relations and proportions. A knowledge of these rules must preeeed the carry ing out of decorative plans, she de clared. “.Much that at the present time is called decoration is governed too much by commercial principles, fashion, mode and human desire,” said Mrs. Wilmot. “When these are the leading motives, much of the spirit of art in color awl form is lacking,” she added. “We are working hard to establish s period in decorative art that may be a credit to the twentieth century,” she said, “a period not governed by foreign influences, but which will be peculiarly expressive of the manner and traditions of American life.” It is in the interests of this ideal that Airs. Wilmot is making a western tour, addressing women of clubs, schools and colleges on the development of art in interiors. Airs. AVilmot was entertained at tea at the Anchorage on Monday afternoon by Aliss Fox, and yesterday had luncheon with women of the home economics de partment and of the normal arts depart ment, Airs. P.

Has More Vacation Posi tions Than Possible to Fill. The University girls who stayed in Eugene during the Easter holidays had plenty of opportunity to work. The cm ployment bureau of the Y. W. C. A. was kept busy just before vacation by the girls who said they were going to stay over and wanted employment. However, according to Miss Louise Davis who had charge of securing positions, when the time arrived to go home there were more positions than girls. An ambition to make money by staying in Eugene was changed to a desire to go home and the employment bureau found the task of obtaining positions for the expected large demand was not as bad as an ticipated.

That may be so, but if you had to eat that as much as you do meat, it would surely get tiresome. Meat is practically the only food that has high nourishing value that can be eaten every day and not become tiresome. , \ v IT PAYS TO BUY MEAT Broders Bros, Meat Market
