Basic Decoration Principles Good Lines and Color Necessary By Edward H. Hall It is proposed in a series of articles on this interesting and important subject to discuss some of the problems, possibilities, principles and purposes of home decoration. To bring out the various values, such as the sentimental, art, commercial and moral, and to evolve some rules of practical value to those who desire assistance in these matters. The subject is interesting because of its many features, its opportunities for some delightful working out of beautiful effects. It is important because it affects our lives inasmuch as environment adds to or mars our happiness. Mediums for Decoration We shall discuss the various mediums available for the purpose of decorating the home, such as wall coverings, furniture, rugs, light fixtures, pictures, etc., and their relation to each other in assisting a home-maker to create that much desired thing called atmosphere. Attractiveness in the home is much to be desired, and can be obtained more easily now than ever before. Artists and artisans are combining thought and skill to produce material to beautify the home. The skillful use of color, design, and texture, when properly combined can be made to cause sensations of delight, and will transform the bare walls and ceilings of a new house into a cozy and comfortable home. It is the proper application of these various agencies that we term decoration and it is the mission of the decorator to make homes out of houses. Build four square walls and put on a roof, place within the room so formed a horse and you have a stable, replace the horse with a horse. The right atmosphere is the charm that you feel when you enter many homes. You will see that this sketch is of a charming entrance and has thoroughly caught the right atmosphere. In the first use browns, greens, yellows, blues and the tones usually termed as low totes. In the second group use white, greys, rose laveness. BIG ENTRY IS EXPECTED FAIR BABY SEVERAL hundred babies—in fact, three thousand—in the baby welfare planned as one of the of the County Fair Sept. 27 to 30, and the arrived according Mrs. C. C. Violett, begin to make entry. The entries should direct to Mrs. J. H. L. Third-st., Santa Ana in person to one of the chairmen, who are: Mrs. H. A. Lake! Hui Mrs. The迪ic; Anahein community nurse; Suzanna Dean; El Toulton; Laguna Bed holder. The baby welfare free health examination under six will be held educational tent, 60 ft Also participating activities will be the Parent-Teacher Association departments, part of library exhibit, and the Mrs. Violett is try for examination of tables which are visible main lobby of the mothers may satisfy a may have as to theamination before taking children into the exam. Mrs. Violett points examination is non-crime no score card is used contest or a clinic, for the great mass of though apparently well found free from defecation of such defecation. The right atmosphere is the charm that you feel when you enter many homes. You will see that this sketch is of a charming entrance and has thoroughly caught the right atmosphere. In the first use browns, greens, yellows, blues and the tones usually termed as low tones. In the second group use white, greys, rose, lavender, pale gold and tints of all the other colors—Tone in one and delicacy in the other. In the fourth rule we observe unity in the entire house scheme. The first rule makes the room individual, the fourth brings them together and unifies the rooms on one floor. This is accomplished by using the same tint on all the ceilings of the same floor and by using suggestions of color in the one room that is used en-masse in the adjoining rooms. By rule eight we mean that while the purpose of the room and its relation to the other rooms must be observed, yet each room will largely determine the style of ornament (if any) to be used. A narrow room should have a low dado and horizontal lines, while a large low room will take the reverse treatment or designs giving a heightening effect. These hints show how effects can be produced. Making Changes But why want to make a low room high or a high room low unless it is necessary to carry out certain proportions? In considering rule ten you will note that we come to the practical features of our study: viz: medium, and by that we mean the material used by the decorator and furnisher such as paints, wall paper, fabrics, including tapestries, cretonnes, silks, etc., with which decorative schemes are worked out. All of these rules are important and will be treated or in future articles but the last rule—balance and climax—are so important and so often overlooked that it is deemed urgent to elaborate upon them in this first article. If you wish success do not disregard them. Climax is the secret of success in decoration, and the secret of failure when disgarded. Without it many an otherwise first-class decorative scheme falls flat and monotonous. The lack of it is generally evident in houses that have been furnished and decorated without a well thought out plan. The artist who paints a Madonna leads up to the enthralled face. The story-teller, the play-writer, the lecturer must sit at a climax or the work lacks whistler exemplified this point in his peacock frieze; the thing delightful that gave the room its name. The climax of the club room is its huge fireplace with its restful chairs and suggestion of creature comforts. The right atmosphere is the charm that you feel when you enter many homes.

Necessary Rules Realizing that many people have not had the advantages of study or the experience in decorating to give them assurance that they will achieve certain results we here append some necessary rules as worked out by a competent decorator. 1. The purpose of the room. 2. The individuality of the occupant. 3. The size, lines and contents of the room. 4. The relation of the room to the other rooms of the house. 5. The source of light: direct, reflected, subdued, natural or artificial, and the kind of artificial light. 6. Location and external surrounding of the house—town, country or sea-side. 7. The class of house: Mansion or cottage. 8. The law of appropriateness. 9. The motif. Keep it pure. Don't use a Queen Ann chair and a Mary Ann table. 10. The medium to be used. 11. The texture you desire. 12. The balance and always climax. Applying the Rules Now, the advantage of education along art lines enables almost every one to use the rules here mentioned intelligently. It would also give them a far greater appreciation of the proper materials with which to work out their scheme. You will find it helpful to study these rules and to work out the philosophy of them. While they are separate rules, they are dependent upon each other for a complete whole. Take for instance first, fourth and eighth. A room, hall or library require a recent treatment than that of doir, on room, chamber or boulevard; the first mentioned group should colors and heavier lines decorated in furniture and wall furnishings in the second group.

C. Violett, for mothers to begin to make entry. The entries should be mailed direct to Mrs. J. H. Leebrick, 107 E.

Mrs. Violett is trying to arrange for examination of infants upon tables which are visible from the main lobby of the tent so that mothers may satisfy any doubts they may have as to the nature of the examination before taking their own children into the examining room. Mrs. Violett points out that the examination is non-competitive and no score card is used. It is not a contest or a clinic. It is intended for the great mass of children who, though apparently well, are rarely found free from defect, and the discovery of such defects on the day of examination. ENROLLMENT BLANK Mrs. J. H.

Silently the musicians stole onto the lawn of the Stark home, arranged their chairs, tuned up their instruments and at the word of leader E. B. Tozier, began to play. They kept it up until Mr. and Mrs. Stark opened the door to investigate the cause of the commotion. An hour of conversation and music was enjoyed on the lawn and late in the evening the mayor invited the social intruders to be his guests and they all went up to Fischle's, where they turned boys again and devoured large dishes of ice cream. Heat Cuts Attendanct Owing to the very hot weather and absence of many of the members, only a small aggregation took part in the affairs of the Chispa chapter, O. E. S., last evening. Four ney members were initiated, Mr. and Mrs. Viollett is trying to arrange for examination of infants upon tables which are visible from the main lobby of the tent so that mothers may satisfy any doubts they may have as to the nature of the examination before taking their own children into the examining room. Mrs. Viollett points out that the examination is non-competitive and no score card is used. It is not a contest or a clinic. It is intended for the great mass of children who, though apparently well, are rarely found free from defect, and the discovery of such deefects at an early stage when they may be easily remedied by proper hygiene or medical care. But no medical advice is given, and if a child is found to need medical treatment, the mother is advised to consult her own physician or a specialist. The mother attends the child throughout the examination and as it is compared point by point with the moral child, she learns where she is failing, and how she may secure better results in the care of her little one. In order to properly safeguard the health of all concerned, no examination will be given a child which has a communicable disease or who has recently been exposed to a contagious disease. A nurse will be on duty, it is planned, to look over each child that is brought in and exclude all those with any evidence of contagious disease, including bad colds. Assisting Mrs. Viollett upon the executive committee of the conference are the following committee chairmen: Decorations, Miss Karlson, of Fullerton; speakers, Mrs. Viollett; music, Mrs. E.
