A room with light and dain ty furniture and woodwork needs delicate, filmy arapenes wun sometimes design and sometimes not; If with design, great care mezzotints, etchings, blockprints. From France come tery brilliant- colored blockprints, clever etchings, ' plain and in color, in numerable reproductions of orig inals, modern and scintillating with color and life.

Right Cse Important And now with all this wealth of material before us. Just a few words about where to use it. In the living room of the Colonial house, over the mantel, may ap pear a reproduction of an old portrait, so beautifully done that it would take an expert to dis tinguish It from an original; or happy is the home that la blessed oil, If it be a pleasing one. But. aias: tnere were so many meaio cre artists la the youth of our country and there are compara tively few wortby -paintings.

In an English house again appears the portrait or a landscape or flower print, perhaps, a garden scene, or it may be an etching Many of the old English homes. especially under the influence of Chippendale developed a taste ior cninese decoration and we una tne cninese influence ap pearing In screens, wall hang- ings, Jars and vases, carved Jade etc.; and they fit in surprisingly weH; in spite of beicr bo alien In feeling. They add necessary col or and interest. But if the Chi nese influence Is seen, do not try to mix In too many other influ ences or there Is apt to be a con fusion and lack of harmony, Unity Is the basic law to keep In mind. Color distribution 18 the greatest aid to harmony If any mirrors are used, and they are most useful and deco rative in the right spot, the frame should be simple and well designed and well-finished. There are many perfect reproductions of old English and Colonial frames on the market now. which will fit in anywhere adequately and beautifully, And the walls of the school and the office must not be for gotten. Children are strongly In fluenced by pictures and that in flnence should be fr good one the very best you can give. A few years ago the trend In the schoolroom was toward the re production of the old masters alone, but now the work of many living artists is being used, and all pictures are in color where SHIN HE IS IMF n WNT Latest Paris Models are Decidedly "Different" in Effect Says Susan Varty nterior Decorating Becomes Highly Developed Art In Recent Years By SUSAN VARTT Mrs. Susan Tarty spent some time recently In shops in Van couver, B.

Domestic point de'sprit is also very desirable and for over dra peries in bedrooms, where used, the chintz, voile and taffeta are leaders. To express bedrooms drapes in one word.
