"I'll never tie able tn pave any

This department on Home
Decoration iH lor the benefit of
till women who have household
problems to solve. Queries per
taining to problems of this kind
may be addressed to Miss Sned
icor, care of Women's lepart
metit of the Mat! Tribune.
Query. How should pictures be (
hung? Mrs. T.
j Answer. If small then hang j
them with a concealed cord and !
I small brad. If large use two cords j
one on each side of the picture.
I each cord extending in a vertical
I position from the frame to the j
; picture molding. .Never use n corn
! which goes at an angle to the hook
! forming n tent over the picture,
j Query. If one has but one good
' old piece of furniture, can that
j piece be used in a room with other
: more modern pieces? Mrs. K. .1.
Answer, often lime such a piece
becomes the center about which
thw whole room is furnished. l"s
ually such pieces are of dark wood
ami good imitations may be found
which will feel perfectly at hemic
jwilh your really old piece. Hut do
J not use such pieces by putting
idem into a room where all the
'other pieces are painted.
! Query. What material do you
suggest for upholstering a piece of
furniture which lias constant fam
ily usage? Mrs. V. K.
Answer. Mohair comes in a
great variety of colors, patterns
and weights. It does not fade,
i wears exceptionally well and cleans
I perfectly.
Query. Do you ndvise a mantel
over a fireplace? Mrs. li.
Answer. All depends upon the
room and the style of fireplace
which you are having built. Some
reuire mantels for instance, the old
colonial ones. The Spanish and
stone ones are often much better
without a mantel.
Query. "Will you please eugge.'it
a color scheme for our new bath
rnnm? Mm II
Answer, (ireen and cream bath I
rooms have become almost as com- j
nion as the old time white ones, j
A rose toned down with gray. A
salmon color with touches of Mack
or dark green would be pleasing
Query. Is monk's cloth good for
draperies ?
Mrs. T. S.
Answer. Monk's cloth is one of
the most Inexpensive of the heavy
materials but it is so very neutral
in color that It needs bright colors
near it. However they are begin
ning to make the same weave in
color combinations which are.
pleasing. For Instance a blue and

Karly this May morning, while the heavy dew was pearled
on the leaves, and cascades of diamonds flashed to tin rising
sun, a whole chorus of snug hurst into lively strains from tree to
housetop.
Presently, after welting his whistle in the strawberry patch,
n slim and graceful mocking bird vaulted to the top of a tele
phone pole, and after pouring out a italchy prelude, he sprang
straight up into the nir some ten feet or more, turned a com
nlete soiuersault and gyralud, oivc around, landing again with
airy grace on the pole, all the while in full song of rarest
ecstney. Again he dropped to the ground for another straw
berry crush, and once more, following the orchestra, delivered
a potpourri of melodious mimicry truly astonishing.
A hrown thrush nesting In the rose trellis, answered in a low
sweet, anti-climax full of puthos and prayer.
AH was still. .Morning worship was over; men wore begin
