Home Decoration By Jane Snedlcor Uuery: Should pictures be hung in tho dining room? Mrs. H. M. P. Answer: In tho small informal room. no. but a. large 'und very formal dining room demands largo wall hangings, brass and copper I plaques and largo pictures. Some-1 times w el I -done old family por- j traits or bunting scenes. For the; smaller dining room use wall hang ings, plaques und Interesting old pieces of pottery or gluss. Query: What can bo done with an oak chair which Is very com fortable but out of lltno with tho walnut pieces In our living room? Mrs. S. M. a. Answer: The host thing Is to have it stained dark tlmt peculiar dead brown of a very old black oak piece. Then it will look like an aged piece and not like one be longing to a more recent golden oak or fumed oak period. Query: What can be done with a long davenport table which is now out of date? The second-hand furniture man does not want it. Neither do I. Mrs. T. K. O. Answer: Huve you seen u cabi net worker about making ft Into two or oven throe smaller tables? Kud tables, bed-side tables und hall tables are always In demand and probably the top of your long table Is walnut or mahogany. Query: Must I use blue draperies with a blue rug? Mrs. H. A. O. Answer: Personally 1 would ad vise against such an arrangement. Use a contrasting color. flold, rust, henna or green draperies will ho best for even a south room with a blue rug. Query: Where did the design called "Treo of Iilfo" originate?- Mrs. M. I. Answer: The original bom or boma was (ho plant which was called In Sanskrit the soma. It grow in somo parts of India und from It was secured, an Intoxicat ing milky Juice. It was believed, however, (hat tho plant hud Its real abode in Heaven und that, the uni verse was created When indra, was under tho Intoxicating Influence of its juice. The Assyrians subHtl tuled the date palm for the soma for (his, had even ii moro Intoxi cating juice. In Persian art It appeared In various ways. Then the Syrian and HyKuntlnc text tin weavers used It. Italian and Spanish workers adopted It and so through all ages It has come down to us in various forms. 4 Garden Ramblings ny Mllio Xj.

The bushes sehd feeder roots toward the surface of the soil and those must not be . Injured during Ihe growing season. A trowerful of bono meal to two of wood ashes worked well In a round each bush Is very beneficial. If you can do no, get a bale of peat moss and cover the. rosebed to m depth of one or (wo Inches. Thla. will re tain the moisture and also make cultivating unnecessary during the growing season of (ho plant.
