Spring Suggestions for Good Interiors by Marjorie Hou One wonders how many thousand years ago it was that some amazing philosopher discovered, after years of patient research, that there was nothing new under the sun. This seems especially true of home furnishing, this "nothing new" idea—especially since our newest combinations are but rearrangements of some a large overstuffed sofa. The usual long "davenport table" flanked it with a lamp at the exactly right place for the reader. Part of the light effect was due to its handsome Adam fireplace, with its quaint severity.

This seems especially true of home furnishing, this "nothing new" idea—especially since our newest combinations are but rearrangements of some older period or other, or a happy joining of two or more of them. Set rules in the selection of drapes and rugs, chairs and sofas is of course quite out of the question. Beyond a sort of generalization about heavy pieces for large rooms, and lighter furniture for smaller ones, there are no real rules. And one may, quite conceivably, take exception to this generalization, and arrange a charming room: So it goes. Immediately an example occurs. A small living room presented light roomy effect and a general feeling of comfort, without crowding, and yet analysis showed its chief piece to be a large overstuffed sofa. The usual long "davenport table" flanked it with a lamp at the exactly right place for the reader. Part of the light effect was due to its handsome Adam fireplace, with its quaint severity. For sheer charm another living room seems especially appealing, in its Georgian primness. Here, too, a large overstuffed davenport held a place of prominence with its fringed lines on wool tapestry. One noticed immediately an adorable corner cabinet, with leaded panes and painted cvals in black and gold. A Venetian tip-top table held another corner, while lighted chairs and a fire-screen completed this cozy room. Another room that especially lends itself to the colorful and unusual, is the sun parlor or the breakfast room. Wicker and painted wood sets continue favorites. A wide-flung, glassed in porch rejoiced in canary yellow-and-black wicker. The black was re-peated in paten fitted into the seating round ones.

Gay cretonne hung at the windows on wooden rings on heavy poles, patterned largely with yellow, coral and black. Candy-striped shades added their note, white handsome yellow aquarium stood on a wrought iron standard. But color, gay and joyous, is being carried throughout the house, outstripping and replacing old ideas about sombre hues, for certain rooms. A particularly sunny effect was obeying wood, had taffeta lambrequins over chintz curtains, while taffeta spread the beds. An interesting note was the use of two small painted mirrors on standards on the dressing table. Still another room rejoiced in a colonial effect, with a perfectly ma- new home-- this spring Remember--- Remember--- can be fully satisfied from the most complete ensemble of bewitching new furniture here gathered and offered for your approval and inspection. As is always the case, warm weather and house cleaning time means an additional new piece of furniture—see our new Spring showing of the better furniture; let us show you how, in a degree, your home can better be beautified with one or two pretty pieces.

In a very interesting dining-room a wall treatment suggested panelled wood, but when one came to examine it, it had been worked out with painted canvas. The furniture,—chairs, and matching table were of walnut with a stained line for decoration. Char seats were of blue denim, all set about au oblong table, on a very good Oriental rug. A silver chest stood at one side with a stunning old flower painting hanging above it in an oval frame. Hand-blocked linen curtains completed this room. Another dining-room rejoiced in tapestry backed chairs of walnut. Primly they stood about the oblong table. A high chest for china had its place just about opposite a lof chest for silver. The radiators in this room were cleverly concealed under built-in seats. At one end stood a wide dignified buffet, with an equally wide mirror hanging above it. And then, of course, these days, there is the child's room, with its very own furniture and its special style of treatment. Painted wood is very popular. One set was attractive in pink with a white line for decoration. A blue and white checked bedspread held its quaint place, and accorded with the equally pretty gingham curtains of the same check. One can imagine a child running into that room with glee and making a triumphant dash for the cunning pink tea cart it boasted. There is a period in a child's development known to mothers as the tea-party age. A cookie or two, a little hot water in a microscopic tea pot and the child is all set to invite all her friends, or all her dolls, to a tea-party. This room provided her with a pink tea table and four cunning chairs, for this purpose, so that even the teddy-bear needn't be left out. Of course, it takes time and study to get the exact effects one desires in a home, but what could be more satisfactory, or more of a reward for one's efforts, than a tastefully furnished house, each room expressing some phase of the owner's habits and temperament? As surely a bit of music expresses the composer's idea, so surely does the home express the life and tastes of the householder. EIGHT HUNDRED JOIN INVISIBLE EMPIRE BUYERS FLOCKING TO S. Q. R. STORE More than 100 specials are being offered by the S. Q. R. store in its present fifteenth anniversary sales, the largest number of such bargains in the history of the store. These specials are scattered through all departments. The public is showing its appreciation by an unusual volume of patronage. Buyers have come from towns in every part of the county and even of Los Angeles-co. There is good reason why they should do so, said Manager O. H. Renner, because the store, counting in men's goods, has the largest stock of any in Orange county. The ready to wear department has proved particularly attractive to purchasers, who are preparing for Easter. Goods in all departments are very complete, however, and no shopworn or old articles are being offered. OLD LICENSE TO WED UTILIZED AT LAST DETROIT, April 1.—rate, revolving around a marriage license issued in 1912, worked its devious way for 10 years with Daniel O. Yazzy and Miss Lou Bradbury, both of this city. Daniel, after a stormy voyage on the sea of matrimony, through the divorce court and back to "double hareness," remarried the first choice of his heart here. Daniel and Lou were married in the early 1900's, but quarreled and were divorced. The couple were sweethearts from school days in Indiana and, as they say now, "their quarrel was all about nothing." Then Daniel met another "love" and led her to the altar, but within a few years he was back in the divorce court again. In 1912 Daniel met Lou again and began to count his former wife. He succeeded and the couple went before a minister who agreed to marry them, but when he took a look at the license dated 1912 he told them to get a new one. The license bureau held though that with a new envelope to replace the time-worn wrapper, it was as good as new and the minister would have to be satisfied with a 1912 date. Of course, it takes time and study to get the exact effects one desires in a home, but what could be more satisfactory, or more of a reward for one's efforts, than a tastefully furnished house, each room expressing some phase of the owner's habits and temperament? As surely a bit of music expresses the composer's idea, so surely does the home express the life and tastes of the householder. EIGHT HUNDRED JOIN INVISIBLE EMPIRE SANTA MONICA, April 1—What is said to have been the greatest Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony ever held in the West was staged in Santa Monica canyon when eight hundred Los Angeles men were accepted into the order with the wierd rites of the "Invisible empire." Three hundred robed klansmen conducted the initiation ceremonies. They were from Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield, towns in the Imperial Valley and throughout Southern California generally. Automobiles were parked at the entrance of Santa Monica canyon for more than a mile. Then Daniel met another "love" and led her to the altar, but within a few years he was back in the divorce court again. In 1912 Daniel met Lou again and began to court his former first wife. He succeeded and the couple went before a minister who agreed to remarry them, but when he took a look at the license dated 1912 he told them to get a new one. The license bureau held though that with a new envelope to replace the time-worn wrapper, it was as good as new and the minister would have to be satisfied with a 1912 date. CALIF.
