TORONTO n 1 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 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 very wash -day method ypd0sl4 i? f/1i1 INSO is ideal for any wash -day method you use. You do not have to change any of your usual steps—just use Rinso where you. used to use ordinary soap. If you like to boil your white cot- tons, Rinso will give you just the safe cleansing suds you need in the boiler. If you use a washing machine, follow the advice of the big washing machine manufacturers— use Rinse. Just soaking with this new kind of Soap loosens all the dirt until a single rinsing leaves the clothes clean and spotless. However you do your wash, make it easy by using Ritmo, 44, Rinso is sold by all grocers and departtnent stores %ws 1 f you use a Washing Machine, soak your clothes in the Rinso suds as usual.

"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.

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. felt hat, revealing above bronzed chin 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- fore rain came. And later on there would be, barring mishap, plenty of cotton for Maw' to spin into the three. 1 to be woven into stout jeans at shirts; for the inevitable quilts well; and for a surplus to be sold c ife'awep and bearer the ft SvAIT'S /TANDEM Doub/e Acting As!/ent, easy work/Ittit and duce. b/epumpthat defa/te/yrep/dc» the W//7.G type mode/ Pimps d//Jrinds ot/iquib's.

Sitting there in- 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." (To be continued,) Mlnard'a Liniment Heals Cuts.
