There are certain other require- ments in decoration for emotional sat- A ceiling almost as dark as sides, and of rough surface, or brought down on side walls, seems lower than it is. The mind wants to see likeness in dimension but not sameness. This principle makes the square room or the too long room unpleasing. In the one we see sameness, in the other we} fail to grasp likenesses. By these tricks we. change apparent dimen- sions; we make our rooms satisfying. In the too large room the mind can- not grasp the dimensions or their comparisons. A too large room will lack in the quality of intimacy? Fur- niture is apt to look too small in proâ€" portion. Put in more furniture and place it in groups. Break up long spaces, reduce the light, use contrast, heavy furniture and hangings, deep and advancing colors and rough tex- tures. The size of rooms is apparent-I ly lessened by having all furniture, pictures, ornaments, etc., large and heavy. Should a room he too long, place the furniture with its longest sides across the short sides of the room. Raise the ceiling by making it lighter and of smoother finish. Placing furniture carefully is an- other trick that will add spaciousness and repose to small rooms. In small rooms the centre must be left empty to give a feeling of space. The long way of furniture and rugs must be placed the long way of the room, with few opposing cross lines or cross corners. Curved lines better express rich- ness,'and furniture with curving out- lines will look more expensive than straight line furniture that costs more. The small room will do Bueftez‘ with curves instead of straight lines, all- over patterns instead of stripes. Straight line furniture ‘1‘oom demands more color and ornament and design to offset its austerity. Curtains of one color very different from the walls give too sharp a con- trast. A band (on heavy material) or a braid (on light weight) contain- ing colors of both curtains and walls, will tie them together and reduce the contrast. Extending the curtains out- side the casing will give the effect of width and help make room lower and more extended. A valance does this, too, besides giving the wanted color that furnishes variety. Low broad ornaments, vases, etc., add to the effect of repose, as long, low buildings and long low rooms give the idea of repose. Low, wide masses give the feeling of stability, while the slender lines; as church spires and skyscrapers, give feelings of exalta- tion, action. Straight lines, especially vertical ones, also may mean dignity, stifl‘ness, austerity; as opposed to the buoyancy, grace, and yieldingness of curved lines. There are many little tricks in de- corating that help to create this at- mosphere and I believe tricks with curtains make delightful changes in our rooms that it does not pay us to overlook. DECORATING TRICKS ADD UP-TO-DATENESS. When entering certain rooms for the first time have you ever been at a loss to discover just what made it look “just right”? Nothing was elaborate. In fact, everything was quite ofdi- nary and simple, yet the whole room conveyed an atmosphere that was restful and so pleasing to the eye. About the House Sometimes lace edging will have to be pieced in the middle of a ruffle or some other place where it shows equal- ly as bad. If you buttonhole both cut edges with a fine thread and then whip the purling of your buttonholing together the joined place can scarcely be detected. Of course, it is essential The next day I asked my friend what sort of ink she used for the la- bels so that it shone in the dark. She instructed me to dissolve a dram of phosphorous in an ounce of oil of cinnamon. This is then put in a bot- tle and the bottle tighly corked and placed in hot water until the mixture is dissolved. When cool it is ready to use. Using luminous ink will pre- vent possible tragedy by making bot: tles containing poison noticeable even in the darkâ€"N. P. “In the little white wall cabinet door, I found that every bottle was labeled and that the writing showed up plainly in the dark. The poisons were all in bottles just the same size, for a daytime reminder, and they were all on the top shelf. One night last summer, when visit- ing a friend, I had a severe toothache. I stood it for an hour and then ventured to wake my friend to find out where to get something to relieve the pain.

They are mild but thorough; contain neither opiates nor narcotics. and are absolutely guar- anteed to be safe and efficient for either‘the newborn babe or the grow- ing child.
