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 ordi-
nary and simple, yet the whole room
conveyed an atmosphere that was
restful and so pleasing to the eye,
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.
Curtains of one color very different
from the walls give too sharp a con-
trast. A band (on heavy material)
or 0 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 easing 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,
Iow 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 yreldingness of curved
lines.
Curved lines better express rich -i
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 Iines, all-
over patterns instead of stripes.
Placing furniture carefully is an-.
ether 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:
Should a room be too long, place
the furniture with its longest sides
across the short sides of the room
Raise the ceiling by making ft lighter
and of smoother finish,
A ceiling almost as dark as sides
and of rough surface, or brought down
on side walls, seems lower than it is i
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 Iarge 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 longi
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 -1
isfaction or feelings. Definite laws or
principles bring about required re -I
sults that the mind accepts as beau-
tiful. E
When you buy new furniture ori
change thefixed d d r i
geco at ons you can;
make your home e what you
want it. In
the meantime, try some of the tricks
of the decorator's trade.
LUMINOUS LABELS 0 LA i S FOR
SAFETY.
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. She said:
"In the little white wall cabinet

labeled and that the writing showed
up plainly in the dark. The poisons
were all in bottles just the same size,

BY J
Y GELZER,
PART L
At sunset, when long rays of light
fell slantingly across the smooth
brown furrows he had se recently
turned, Joel Beck began to unhitch
his eta gray mare from the rusty,
antiquated plow.
"Reckon hit's quittin' time, Dolly,"
he observed,
The horse whinnied softly, nuzzling
his shoulder with almost human glade
ness at the prospect of release from
drudgery.
Letting the harness drop, ` Joel
strode toward' the cabin at the other
end of the field, closely followed by
the mare, her long gray neck droop-
ing with fatigue.
In the unpainted, ramshackle barn
he settled the horse for the night,
tossing a bundle of hay into the feed
trough with a grimace of pain as his
lame leg began to throb after the day
in the field. With a detached pity he
reflected upon the weariness resting
heavily upon man 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 Beek meant that
he was utterly lazy and shiftless; be-
y
he was an object of mingled scorn
and aversion where Maw Beck was
concerned, Maw having had bitter ex-
perience with Beeks 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
roffee 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
M,aw's mood before coming into her
presence.
Always there had been the'incredu-
for a daytime reminder, and they
were all on the topshelf.
The next dayI asked friend
my
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 dark.—N. P.

The Debit land lox nearest the tiny
erystal-clear stream purling its way
through the Valley. From where he
sat he could hear the ripple of t+ggor
water plainly.
Once, when the fields had drooped,
discouraged and sick from lack of
rain, he had cleverly contrived to di-
�} vert a part of that hurrying water to
the purpose f turningthefild g
lous hope that Maw's bitter prejudiee
against himself might have retrace -
lowly melted during his absence, that
there might even be,a brightening of
welcome for him upon her item face,
As usual, his hope was doomed to
disappatntment,
Maw threw him a sullen glance
from the fireplace, where She bent
over pots and pans.
"Set," she instructed briefly, ""an'
I'll bring the victuals."
There It was again—her dislike for
him plainly revealed In even those
few words,
Flaming with a resentment which
he inwardly acknowledged to be both
absurd and unexpected after all these
years, Joel limped across the' dirt
floor to the rude teble conveniently
close to the fireplace. He had so long
conceded Maw's dislike for himself,
the elder son, and her, preference for
Cullen, his younger brother, that his
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 pre.
ferenee for Cullen in his overwhelm-
ing need of companionship,
Presently Maw seated herself, at the
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,merelywaiting war g until he had
gone tbegin. her own meal.
Again the flood of acute resentment
boiled high in Joel Beck. It wasn't
fair, this prejudice against him which
had been a throbbing hurt since his
earliest perception of it!
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 1 in
q Y
his lifetime Joel oe smiled wryly.
"Reckon Pap must hey been plumb
glad ter die!" he muttered.
Rising clumsily, his mild blue eyes
sought Maw again, wistfully eager
for a softening of her grudge against
him, but from the sight of her thin
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 eras^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.
Restlessly he" pushed back- his old.

and cheeks a forehead sweat -bleached
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 summit 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-

would be, barring mishap, plenty of

tent upon the color changes slowly
taking place around••the western sum-
mit upon which his eyes were fixed,
he recalled his own leapingpleasure
at Maw's rare praise.
Far down the narrow dirt: road
curving through the Valley be de-
scried a blur of white. .
"Mow l" he called, lifting his :voice
into a warning shout. "Patty Jessup's
corrin' down the road."
Maw appeared instantly in the
doorway, smoothing the prim pasting
of her hair with one hand.
"Hit's Patty," she agreed. "Likely
she's heerd yore back from the settle -
mint"
Three times a year, in favorable
weather, he made the trip to the near-
est settlement, thirty miles away,
hauling surplus produce to sell and
bringing back the few supplies not
provided by their own land. On these
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, Mawi" he had pro-
tested. "An' that's Patty Jessup;
we're, tokened."
Maw had passed over his preference
lightly, ignoring Joel's eager eyes.
"Ye kin come back fer Patty," she
pointed out. • "And hit's yore place to
go, Cullen, as the Keating o' the
family."

in cold water, shaking out all surplus
