You can imagine the charm of green framed mirrors, each hanging over a chest of ivory, can't you? Well, then imagine too how delightfully wistarian Venetian scent bottles and candle-sticks would look on these ivory chests.

RECONCILING TWO TYPES
Thereby ariseth a new decorating problem. How shall the two types of furniture be reconceived and blended so that there be no sharp and unpleasant jump from the one to the other?
One living room managed this little matter admirably. A screen of painted panels stood out from the wall, not intending in the least to hide anything. Beyond lay the dining room. Its furniture was painted tan with green trimming,—but the tan was softly "antiqued," so that it blended with the natural wood of the living room prices. A gateleg table with a lamp and a vase of flowers, an open cupboard with cottage china at the windows were a plaint—the too much pattern would the room. But the color galaxy itself, red glazed which was subtly repeated opposite wall, in its reflect a large mirror.

For comfort, did we hear you say? Well, comfort is largely spelled in terms of arrangement,—that is, of course, after you have selected deep cushions and softly padded upholstery. By arrangement we mean carefully adjusted lights, tables placed in easy reach, a day bed along side a desk with a hump placed where its soft glow will assist one who reclines and reads. And then, too, a snug grouping of chairs about the fireplace.
One of the new living room arrangements, arising from the dispensing with formalities is the omission of a dining room. We eat in the breakfast nook or in the

Room of Cheerful Manner
Another living room would adapt itself merrily to the idea of dining. Some way the whole room gave you an impression of merriment—a cheerful and laughing hospitality. It might be called the Chintz room, I think, for its walls were covered with a tiny patterned floral design on cloth, too, not on paper.
Appropriately the over drapes and blended so that there be no sharp and unpleasant jump from the one to the other?
One living room managed this little matter admirably. A screen of painted panels stood out from the wall,—not intending in the least to hide anything. Beyond lay the dining room. Its furniture was painted tan with green trimming,—but the tan was softly antiqued," so that it blended with the natural wood of the living room prices. A gateleg table with a lamp and a vase of flowers, an open cupboard with cottage china on its shelves and four straight chairs comprised the set. As for the rest of the living room it simply went on being a comfortable sort of room with a fireplace for a centerpiece. Two lovely prints framed to match stood side by side on the mantle. You notice there were two, not just one, and the two filled the entire length. Either side hung narrow shelves, almost too narrow for books, but affording charming nooks for objects d'art. Overstuffed chairs covered with striped mohair, and a divan completed the fireplace group.
A slightly unusual effect was produced by placing a short rather than a long table at the back of the divan at either end of which stood Queen Anne chairs. One was covered with brocade, the other with English embroidery.
A long table—a davenport table if you like, held a place against the wall. Above it hung a handsome print, beautifully lightened by a nail of table lamps made of glass, their shades, pleated ribbons in tones of green.
A vanity case of great chic stood near one window. It composed of five separate pieces. First there was a tiny tail above it hung a large mirror and at either side stood chests of drawers. Each chair

The print showed a Victorian oil mistress returning to her life, and has discovered her genes in the act of mischief. A result was spilled ink all the dainty white frock of the oldest one (and some on the set, too). We felt so glad oldest girlie didn't seem to a bit repentant but held up tiny chin firmly as to say, let the heavens descend. It was worth it." It must been especially daring in Victorian days. You can stand that such a picture inspire, one to furnish a well—independently at pair of scones lighted the fire which hung over a chiffle of Queen Anne walnut. Rest of the set was Queen too.

Windsor Chair Used
Bits of "good taste" may be discovered in meret corners. A patterned wall paper with a corner cabinet must have been an inspiration to some one to which a comback Windsor chair was most cleverly added.

And still another of these folks who know—did a room in Toile d'joy and did it superbly, too. Twin beds without footboard were covered with a majestic pattern of black on oyster white—oh! scenes, and urns and swags and all that sort of thing. And to unhold all the dignity of the material a coronet of painted wood hung high on the wall above the beds with heavy handsome drapes of striped green taffeta. Did we spy the furniture was a dull ivory, "antiqued"?

The druggists called at the White House to pay their respects to the emet executive and he spoke to them briefly.
"Just as business more nearly approximates to the ideal of service and mutual consideration to the community," the president told his audience, "Will the federal government keep pace with a gradual elimination of existing restriction and supervision."
"Under our complex social and industrial order," he said, "it is inevitable that government and business shall come a good deal in contact. It should be the aim of governmental administration to make these contacts as few as possible and to reduce their burdens and annoyances to the minimum which is consistent with conservation of the broadest public interest."
"On the whole, business will meet less and less interference by the agencies of the government just as it more nearly approximates to the ideal of usefulness of the community. We are all entitled to a sense of gratification that business is now constantly progressing toward the best realization of this important fact."
Mr. Coolidge's reference to his tax and economy program was brief. "I pledge you my efforts to continue to secure economy of administration that there may be reduction of taxes and harmony in our foreign relations that there may be peace and prosperity," he said.
The president lauded the druggists as representative business men for the great strides that business generally is making away from sharp dealing and selfless policies.
"The successful merchant no longer attempts to thrive on sharp dealing but rather on service and mutual consideration," he said.
"It is the realization of just such truths as these, the application of the common interests between merchant and customer, the sense of responsibility on both sides, that has in recent times introduced more and more the moral element into business transactions."

Table Decoration of Glass and Pottery
By Marjorie Howe Dixon
For one who loves to entertain or "to give a party," the decorating of the table is a special delight. We are given by fashion much scope to what one may employ in arranging the table. We may ransack the house or visit the shops to obtain an interesting bowl, vase, figurine or candlestick which can be used appropriately.
At a small costume dance there appeared a long narrow table which was covered with a strip of black ruffled crepe paper. In the center was a deep wide lily bowl of a dark green hue. Standing at semi-diagonals were two Majolica figures. They were a soft cream color and one was a lovely lady on a pedestal (as all ladies should be) wearing a dress of an ancient fashion. She is stepping forward, as in a minuet, with arm outstretched to meet her lover who reaches out to her with a bouquet in his hand and a jaunty swing to his hat of a romantic character. At the ends of the table were two Majolica candlesticks with tall beewax altar candles burning a steady flame.
prigate for sunroom use or afternoon tea. Its quality is a sharp contrast to the finished product of the china factories. The fact that the plates are thick, slightly warped, curiously shaped and designed in the freehand slap dash manner only adds to their charm.
Italian Pottery Bowl
An interesting table may be made by using a large Italian pottery bowl filled with fruit as a center piece. The table may be long, having two strips of Italian linen for covering. Four Spanish twisted candlesticks of yellow and blue may be put in a row down the length of the table and lighted with short yellow or blue candles. At one end place an Italian jug, the kind with a crumpled nose. At the other end the tea pot from which milady pours. A plate, tea cup and saucer and a blue glass mug completes the setting for your very next afternoon tea.
At a recent dinner the hostess enjoyed a large oval plateau or table mirror. Upon the center of the mirror she placed a large green American pottery comport filled with roses. All around the edge of the mirror was a wreath of ferns and rosees. At either end of the table stood a green glass candlestick with a tall rose candle. When the candles were lighted can you not imagine what a brilliant arrangement it made?
THE UNDEFINED WAIST LINE
"Undefined waistline" is the fashion forecast this fall in spite of a few costumes in which the Spanish influence imitates upon a normal or slightly high waistline.
of red the other browns and may be found in a variety of materials. Equally becoming to blonde and brunette types, cranberry is particularly pleasing.
Venetian fuchsia for evening
center was a deep wide lily bowl of a dark green hue. Standing at semi-diagonals were two Majolica figures. They were a soft cream color and one was a lovely lady on a pedestal (as all ladies should be) wearing a dress of an ancient fashion. She is stepping forward, as in a minuet, with arm outstretched to meet her lover who reaches out to her with a bouquet in his hand and a jaunty wing to his hat of a romantic character. At the ends of the table were two Majolica candlesticks with tall beecawax altar canes burning a steady flame. What was most interesting was the contents of the lily bowl. To ensure the hostess had two pink and white wax lilies floating in the bowl, which was filled with water. And shooting around underneath the lilies and a bit of water cress were three of the lowest and goldest gold fish you ever saw.
Horrors! Gold fish for a table decoration!
Well, why not? Besides it was that kind of a party!
Flowered ice cream and animal cookies were served.
Here's an Unusual Room
There is an unusual dining room whose walls are a dull blue and the furniture is painted a dull orange with blue and yellow rim. The table wears black oilcloth coils. A black glass bowl filled with goldenrod commands the center of the table. Two black glass twisted candlesticks with orange hand-dipped candles dank the bowl while two Venetian glass trees of green and orange stand the diagonals. The plates for on the dolllies are an English pottery, ivory in color with a dull orange border. The glasses are a clear Venetian with a lins of blue oven through the stem.
Beautiful glass has always been "joy forever" to the house-keeper but there has come into the shops lately many unusual varieties of peasant pottery from former shores. We have peasant pottery from France, Spain, Italy and England as well as Holland and Denmark.
Peasant pottery seems to fill a particular need. It harmonizes with cretonne and painted woodwork; it is informal and appro-
THE UNDEFINED WAIST LINE
"Undefined waistline" is the fashion forecast this fall in spite of a few costumes in which the Spanish influence insists upon a normal or slightly high waistline. Straight frocks, many of them beltless, still will be good, and long sleeves will prevail.
Penny, a dusty tone, new among the varied shades of old copper brown, and cranberry, a glowing red which will replace the formerly popular henna, are two of the leading colors. Penny is far ahead of red the other browns and may be found in a variety of materials. Equally becoming to blonde and brunette types, cranberry is particularly pleasing.
Venetian fuschia for evening, shutter green for street and burnt russet for afternoon wear are three predictions. Navy blue is staple in its restraint and smeariness, and there are two new blue shades—palermo adding one more to the long succession of Mediterranean blue and lugano, lighter and greyer.
