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 ordi- nary and simple, yet the whole room conveyed an atmosphere that was restful and so pleasing to the eye. There are many Iittle 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. Curtains of one color very different from the wails 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, stiffness, austerity; as opposed to the buoyancy, grace, and yieldingness of curved lines. Curved lines better express rich- ness, and furniture with curving out- lines will look more expensive than straight line furniture that costs more. Straight line furniture in a room demands more color and ornament and design to offset its austerity. The small room will do better with curves instead of straight lines, all- over patterns instead of stripes. Placing furniture carefully is an- other trick that will add spaciousness Raise or orners, he sett close to the fireplace.

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 saneness, 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 pro- 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- ly lessened by having all furniture, pictures, ornaments, etc., large and heavy, There are certain other require- ments in decoration :for emotional sat- isfaction or feelings. Definite laws or principles bring about required re- sults that the mind accepts as beau- tiful. When you buy new furniture or change the fixed decorations you can make your home what you want it. In the meantime, try some of the tricks of the decorator's trade. in the field. With a detached pity he reflected upon the weariness resting heavily upon pian and beast alike. "Life in the mountings hain't none too easy on folks or critters!" he brooded aloud, realizing .that the words voiced his, unending protest against the hardships of mountain life. Perhaps, he told himself dubiously, continuing on his way to the cabin, Maw was right, and he was entirely a Beck. Being entirely a Beck .meant that he was utterly lazy and shiftless; be- ing entirely a Beck meant also that he was an object of mingled scorn and aversion where Maw Beck was concerned, Maw having had bitter ex- perience with Becks in the' person of his handsome, incompetent father. Maw had been a Keating, and the Keatings outranked the Valley from the standpoint of possessions and energy. ` Outside the door of the cabin, through which the aroma . of boiling eofee drifted appetizingly, his foot- steps involuntarily slowed into a mo- mentary pause of vivid expectancy. A trick dating back to earliest child- hood, that instinctive pause in which he wistfully sought to ascertain Maw's mood before coming into her presence. Always there had been the ineredu- for a daytime reminder, and they were all on the top shelf. • The next clay I asked my• friend what sort of ink she used for the la bels so that it shone in the dark.

LEVER BROTHERS, LIMITED TORONTO R.4 -z7 momentary rebellion amazed him. Maw moved back and forth, word- lessly' depositing steaming dishes of food before him. Bitter enemies could scarcely have had less to say to each other. Joel ate alone, forlornly wishing that Cullen were home again, willing to pass over Maw's plainly shown prem ference for Cullen in his overwhelm- ing need of companionship. occasions, not infrequently he brought back a letter from Cullen. • Cullen had not wanted to go away. Oddly enough,:he had demurred, pre- ferring to stay in the Valley with its brown pools filled with trout and its rabbits and squirrels for fall hunting. "I like it hyar, Maw!" he had pro- tested. "An' thar's Patty Jessup; we're tokened." Maw had passed over his preference Presently Maw seated herself at the 1 fireplace. If Cullen had been there she would have stood behind his chair, gently moving a brush made of long [ strips of paper back and forth over his head to keep away the intrusive flies of early spring, granting to Cul- len the attention belonging properly to Joel as male head of the house. Where Joel was concerned, she con- temptuously omitted this duty alto- gether, merely waiting until he had gone to begin her own meal. Again the flood of acute resentment boiled high in Joel Beck. It wasn't I fair, this prejudice against him which I had been a throbbing hurt since his t• t' f •tr carries percep ion o i . It wasn't his fault, he told. himself • stormily, that Maw had picked Homer Beck for his father and that Homer Beek had provd worthless. Nor was it his fault that he himself resembled the shiftless, wheedling scamp of a father as exactly as one pea resembles another. Visioning the hostility which must have scourged his father equally in his lifetime, Joel smiled wryly. "Reckon Pap must hev been plumb glad ter die!" he muttered. f. Rising clumsily, his mild blue eyes f ,sought Maw again, wistfully eager for a softening of her grudge against him, but from the sight of her thin e shoulders hunched into an attitude of aggressive disapproval he turned _ hastily away, limping to the outside porch. Again he wished that Cullen were home. Cullen, howevr, was fortunate in this as in his resemblance to the Keatings. Cullen had escaped from the narrow bondage of the worked -out backwoods farm. Cullen was in St. Louis with Uncle Keating, Maw's brother. Vainly Joel tried . to imagine what life in the city would be like, eventu- ally abandoning the attempt as futile. But a life different from this, at any rate, he decided. 'RestIessly he pushed back his old felt hat, revealing above•lironzed chin and cheeks a forehead sweat -breached to a transparent white. Red brown curls bordered the whiteness of that high, intelligent forehead. His eyes, limpidly blue and tranquil, were fixed upon the wooded sumrnit high above him. - A red sunset- -to-morrow would be another.fine day and he would have a chance to get the cotton seed in be- fore rain came. And later en there would be, barring mishap, plenty of. cotton for Maw to spin into the thread to be woven into stoat 'jeans and shirts; for the inevitable quilts as well; and for a surplus to be sold or RESTORING WILTED LETTUCE, Nothing seems more hopeless than a head of wilted lettuce, yet in lettuce as in life, "while there's life there's hope." .

This treatment of solitary confinement will work wonders with the erstwhile hope- ; less looking lettuce. In a- short time ' it will emerge as a creditable speci- men. This same method of procedure will keep lettuce fresh and crisp for ightly, ignoring Joel's eager eyes. several days.
