ors, or rather the vrrong use of colors. „The cline spent in learning their use
Dreary rooms can be made cheerful from an instruction book is more than
and too bright and dazzling rooms paid for in the end by unthought-of
can be softened in effect by the skill-
ful use of color. The warm colors,
cream, yellow -toned orange and tan,
russet, rose and toned reds, are best
when used on the north side of the
house or in rooms where direct sun-
shine is a rarity. The cool colors, such
as greens, blues, grays and combina-
tions of these appear to better advan-
tage in rooms where the sun is a fre-
quent visitor. More brilliant color can
be used out of doors than inside the
house where it is shut in with us.
Bright color is too exciting and causes
unconsciously nervousness, strain and
fatigue. No matter on what scale a
house is furnished, one of its aims
should be restfulness.
The mistake so many people make
is in thinking that red is cheerful and
a good color to use in a dark room.
On the contrary, red absorbs the light, .
makes a room smaller than it really,
is, causes ugly, gloomy shadows in
the corners, and at night, under the
electric light, seems to turn into a
murky red-black—a color for murder-
ous thoughts and deeds! Besides, this
color is a severe strain on -the eyes,
and many a red living room is the
cause of seemingly unaccountable
headaches.
Avoid, too, the semi -museum kind
of house, where collections of old fur-
niture and pieces, once beautiful and
perhaps useful, now merely take up
space and ,require care. Different
period styles may be used together
successfully if color, similarity of
lines and usefulness are taken into
consideration.
KEEP YOUR MACHINE FIT.
"Give your sewing machine a
chance to save you work," is the ad-
vice of Miss Hazel Manning. The
spring sewing will be more easily done
if the sewing machine is in shape.
The equipment for the upkeep of
the machine may consist of: cleaning
cloths, a can of the best grade oil, a
brush to free the "feed" from line, a
screw driver, a wrench, and an inex-
pensive strap -cutter and punch to re-
pair the "belt."
"Oil can make or mar your ma-
chine," says Miss Manning. "Poor oil

it run hard. The gummy substance
can be removed best by dropping a
little alcohol into the oil holes and
running the machine fora short time

It was this arrangement, overheard
by Peters, that made the detective
more anxious than ever to open that
silly little iron door.
"Arlington has something to hidedoor is always locked except when
from nothing, so to speak. They say
in that studio," Kane argued. "Tile i he earned nigh on two hundred

The conversation shifted to Ard

had tried to get some information of
interest out of the old man and had
failed most signally. But to -night
Mr. Higgins had drunk three parts
of a bottle of port and was inclined
to be garrulous.
The shallow stream of the conver-
sation trickled • on and on but there
were no fish in it. Peters listened for
a while, and then he began to talk
about the studio and the old kitchen.
Mr. Higgins had a great deal to say
about the monks, but when Peters in-
terrupted him and said "What a fine
big chimney, Mr. Higgins," it seemed
to Peters that the old butler suddenly
became very wide awake.
"One more glass," said Mr. Hig-
gins, "and then we'll go to bed."

to lock the door. And so he has- ar-
ranged for Merrington to have two

It was not only an opportunity to.
work undisturbed at the opening of
the oven door, but a stronger induce-
ment to open it. Mr. Peters was very
pleased with himself. If there was
anything hidden away in that' studio,
he intended to find it. He had two
clear days, and though he could only
work at night he could be sure of.be
