What is it that is lacking that makes the whole effect repellent instead of homelike? Well, it just hasn't that atmosphere of being lived in, those individual personal touches that give a really comfortable look to a room. For one thing, there is only an occasional window decorator who will dare scatter books around—it does take a little courage. He certainly could come a little nearer his desired effect if he would remember books or magazines. The home of the newlywed sometimes has that department store furniture section look. The bride has not yet dared to depart from the conventional and somewhat hard arrangement of all her new things.

And things obviously new are hard to arrange, when it comes to that. Their glossy newness has to rub off a little before they can be assimilated and a homey atmosphere produced. *Question in Furniture* It is sometimes asked, why do people keep going back to periods in selecting furnishings? Why not be ultra-modern? The answer seems to lie in that question of romance, of charm, that quality to which we all respond, that seems so inherent in period furniture rightly used. (Of course, one doesn't have to buy real antiques—for some of us they are quite out of the question. But there are so many good reproductions that no one need be denied these interesting old patterns.) In this question of using the periods rightly lies a great part of the difficulty. It has been said of some decorators that they create stage settings for their clients, that have no more relation to the procenium Americans than periods must study of the our ideals and some of the styles of cer ved from ex ed, and luxury periods have actions toward out simpler furniture and keeping with view.

Sizes, 9x12-8x10-6x9-30 The Romantic Interior by Marjorie Nowe Dixon substile charm—that indefinite air of romance. Another point to be considered is the modern demand for soft deeply cushioned chairs, with their luxurious comfort. It takes little kill to our comfort pieces into our romantic interior but it can be done. It might be mentioned here that down-filled cushions and spring cushions are in demand for these pieces. Tapestries in colorful embroidery are fitting, or spots of lovely needlepoint decorate these inviting lounging spots. The Dining Room When it comes to cases, color in a vital point in our romantic interior. A dining room that rejoices the eye and the aesthetic sense as well, comes to mind. At first one saw the very interesting glass curtains, not thin nor pale in tint, but produced in another dining room. Here dull walnut was the wood chosen, and the chairs were covered with a dull red tapestry with great star shaped nail heads on their edges. A window with a long low window seat was hung with dull red. Then as a last point of emphasis, a service of red glass, goblets, plates and so on with a flat centerpiece of artificial fruit and berries, decorated the table. A Romantic Sun Parlor For living purposes the sun parlor is a room of great attraction these days and more and more originality is being shown in its furnishings. Isn't there the least touch of romance in the India wicker chairs—these great roundly spread backs, reminding one of a peacock's tail? Wicker is only a detail now for overstuffed divans and lounging chairs covered with glazed chints. are hard to rub off because the atmosphere procurre. why do we reproduce periods?

For Americans the study of the use of periods must necessarily involve the study of the impulses of the time creating them. Entirely foreign to our ideals and modes of living are some of the court periods. The styles of certain periods wore evolved from extravagant, over-decorated, and luxurious court life. These periods have been followed by reactions toward severity, which bring out simpler lines and patterns in furniture and are much more in keeping with our natural point of view. Blending of Periods In passing let us speak of the Directoire. The qualities of simplicity and sincerity found in much of the furniture of that time find a quick response in our native instincts. Pieces from the Directoire will blend well with our American colonial period, and the two will create a might be mentioned here that down-filled cushions and spring cushions are in demand for these pieces. Tapestries in colorful embroidery are fitting, or spots of lovely needle point decorate these inviting lounging spots. The Dining Room When it comes to cases, color in a vital point in our romantic interior. A dining room that rejoices the eye and the aesthetic sense as well, comes to mind. At first one saw the very interesting glass curtains, not thin nor pale in tint, but full of color of striped taffeta in lavenders and greens. Chintz edited with black made the long drapes and the valance. Then one became conscious of the dull walnut furniture—chairs with cane backs and seats, a long, low buffet with a separate unframed mirror above it and a high silver chest. The floor was most unusual, a black and oyster gray checkerboard linoleum. Ivory paneled walls made a quiet background. For the little touches in this quaint room, long green mats of coarse linen were spread on the table and the buffet, while Spanish pottery set the table. Speaking of the relation of china to the color scheme brings to mind a rather dignified and formal effect Of Interest to Home Furnishers be the sight of most remarkable Homefurnishings amenities offered in our store. All told, a most magnificent display is assembled—worthy of the most distingishing choice. It is becomingly important to know as fine type of furniture is to be had at moderate as many are still inclined to think truly Good there and there. The fallacy of this train of thought can be clearly refuted—all that is necessary is to see our window displays, and our showing inside the store.

STRO FURNIT SAM KRAEMER BUYS S. KISTLER CORNER Confirming today the repeated report that the Stephen Kistler block at East Center and North Claudia-street had been sold, Sam Kraemer, the purchaser, mult-millionaire, said today that he had reached no decision regarding what he would do with the property. For the present, he said, it would remain as it is. Fred J. Luebow, proprietor of the Boston Bakery, located at this corner, said he had a three-year lease of the premises he occupies and that he had not been seen yet no question of selling his lease. The other lessees are Peter Palm, who maintains a cigar stand, and Tobin & Durkes, real estate dealers. The block has a frontage of 48 feet on East Center. The purchase price is said to have been $45,000. Asked concerning the report that he would erect a building to house the First National and American Savings banks, Kraemer said nothing had been decided regarding this either. He did not deny, however, that such a move was contemplated. The two banks have had to make repeated changes, including the addition of more space on other floors of the present building, to make room for their rapidly growing business. Beautiful Bedrooms Can you imagine a Georsian bedroom with lavender and emerald green taffeta drapes? You can un doubtedly. A most interesting copy arranged itself at the head of the bed. It was draped flat against the wall, depending from a gold coronet, and spread out below, finally ending in long drapes to the floor. Heavy looped drapes of the same material hung at the windows. The bees spreads were of changeable lavender taffeta. Another pretty conceit was the hanging of separate mirrors over both the bureau and the dressing table. Beautiful Separate Mirrors Speaking of separate mirrors, reminds me of an Adam dining room with ivory walls. Over a wide handsome marble-topped buffet Buena Park News BUENA PARK NORTH (1923) Mr. E.

The beau spreads were of changeable lavender tuffets. Another pretty conceit was the hanging of separate mirrors over both the bureau and the dressing table. Beautiful Separate Mirrors Speaking of separate mirrors, reminds me of an Adam dining room with ivory walls. Over a wide handsome marble-topped buffet hung such a beautiful mirror, unframed, with beveled edges, and a wonderful design of vines and birds in gold spread over it. The dining table as well as the buffet were of quietly patterned inlaid walnut: About the table stood tapestry seated chairs. A specially interesting feature were the two built-in cabi-nets with open shelves, each finished at the top with a shell. Color-ed glass in simple, and dignified pieces filled the shelves, and stood on the two iron-side tables, which like the buffet, were marble-topped.
