PAGE SIX THE ORANGE Simplicity by THERE is a subtle something that creates charm in a home. So many elements must be combined to make up this quality. And so much restraint must be exercised. In many, many homes, one is impressed at once with a vast profusion of objects. Such a house needs careful elimination more than any other one thing—could people but understand the restful quality of simplicity.

GROUP-BARNES FURNITURE COMPANY Quality is higher than price ANAHEIM is allowed so much more play of his individual taste. Another beautiful room—only one should be used in a room—the full-ful in polychrome. Italian Renaissance. A high backed handsome fellow it is, too, and elaborately carved. Then, one must have a good library table, one or two small tables, some musical instruments, and a shaded lamp, not to mention bookcases. A spinet desk will make an attractive addition. A dining room in this large high ceilinged home will be stately in French Renaissance. The allong walnut table has the center of attention, while one wall will boast an unusual console board. This is an extremely wide table, the top marble, of dull green, and the drawers concealed in the wood. Opposite are two chests, the high one with closet doors, standing on dignified carved legs, is for the silver service, while the low chest is for flat silver, and the like console board marble topped. Bedroom Furnishings For a bedroom one would choose a painted suite, hand decorated, one of the natural wood finishes. Walnut and mahogany are good, in Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Louis XVI, according to one's taste. For the smaller homes, where the large overstuffed pieces are too massive, smaller suites in canes and upholstery are appropriate. Velours are very popular for the cushions of these; also mohair, frisée, and leather. A good cotton tapestry is a wise investment, promising at least eight or nine years' service. In this lighter furniture all the good periods are available—Queen Anne, Adam, Chippendale and Hepplewhite. A comfortable piece for the living room is a chaisel lounge, or if one prafers it, a day bed. For the small apartment there is a soft that can be made into a bed very easily, supplying extra sleeping space. Polychrome furniture is being manufactured for dining rooms. It must be chosen carefully; else there will be too much color in the room. For the bed room in the smaller house, walnut or mahogany sets are always good. The ivory suites are not as popular as they were. It is notable that manufacturers of high grade furniture will maintain their careful construction and good materials in their less expensive lines as well as in their costly ones. For the breakfast room there are several types of furniture offered. With acknowledgements to K.C.B. THEY CAME to our store. AND THEY looked shy. BUT WANTED furniture. FOR A COZY little bungalow.
