i Burt was always an aeeouiruodating
fellow and he wanted to oblige rhis<
fan. So turning to the stands and

Corner Is Easy Part
of Home to Decorate
M rttiv women feel thai a corner is a '
very difficult part of the l-oom to !
make attractive.
In reality if is quite the easiest part
of the room to decorate tastefully, he-
cause of the fact that there 1s a defi-
nite background provided; a back ;
ground is of such necessity to set off j
the charms of lovely things that often )
a screen is used for lack of a wait.
The (simplest arrangement for ^
corner is to place a round or an or- j
itagonal rahie there, and u«e with it a j
chair, either a Windsor, a cox well or j
a comfortable wingback chair—at any
rare a chair that one will love to read
In. On the table there will, of course,
be a lamp and hooks and the' little
things that make a grouping really n
living thing.
Bur there must be more than this
On the walls of this corner there
should be pictures. Without these the
corner will he dead and unfinished.
What kind of pictures, and what
fjlre pictures should be used there? In
deciding, remember that the pyramid
form is that toward which the artistic
furnisher always works.--
Iu i renting a groupicg of furniture
we strive toward the creation of a
triangular area. Therefore, the pic-
tures for this grouping musfbe small-
er in width than the top of the table
over which they are used. They must
not be too small, indeed, but jus',
large enough—and this is a very im
portant matter.
On the left-hand wall of this corner
let us place a picture about fourteen
inches high and eighteen inches wide.
This will hang so that as one stand-
ing iJi the room looks at It, the center
of the picture will be Just about at
the level of the eye. Immediately be-
low' this will be placed a smaller pic-
ture, about 7 by 9 inches In size.
These two pictures will quite well fib
the wall and yet there will be plenty
of light wall space all around them, as
there should he.
< n the right-hand wall space of
this grouping we shall use a mirror
for various reasons. If a picture were
used there would, perhaps be a feeling
of overcrowdedness, or at least a feet
ing that too many pictures had been
used.
Another reason for using a mirror
Is that the corner of the average
room is naturally not particularly
light and frequently needs something
to brighten it up. More than«.-any
thing else, a mirror will do this. Not
only does it ^leaui In itself, but It re
peats the rich glowing colors that are
reflected from the lump. Therefore,
we see two areas of color as we look
at the corner—the brilliant orange
and blue chintz lamp shade„and its- re-
iiection In the mirror.
These color areas add Immeasura-
bly to the brilliancy of that part of
the room. They attract attention to
a corner that" might otherwise have
been tlat and dull. The mirror has
been placed In such a position that it
not only reflects piirt of the lamp, but
also part of the picture on the oppo-
site-wall. This is as It should be, for
1 lie duty of a mirror Is to multiply
ilie color notes in a room, making It
a more animated and inviting place.

Prcx$f That Golf Is
& Mental Disorder
Noblesvllle. Ind. — Or. Kyrl
Brooks, president of the local
park board, propounds the fol-
lowing questions on human be-
havior: "I visited the park
and observed .T/persons play-
ing on the golf course. A heavy
Shower came up, hut the play-
ers continued their game just
llie Mioie. There were *5.". per-
" *ons iu the bathing pool when
it began to rain and every one
of them rushed out of the wa-
ter to the shelter house. I have
Seen that happen several times,
ami It is more than I can under-
stand."
One-Panel Reinforced
Doors Are Enduring
Interior doors that will not warp or
crack are undeniably desirable fea-
tures in the home. The type which
assures this Is the reinforced door;
that is, 'a door built within a door.'r
This process combines strength with
good looks, hs the outer part of this
door i« finished In a good-quality
close-grained wood, adaptable to all
I forms of painting or finishing.
Interior decorators are now giving
s close attention to doors to see that
they are painted In colors that will
harmonize with the rest of the deco
rations in the different rooms of the
bouse. The reinforced type of door,
although a little more expensive to
l U.v, Is really cheaper in the long run.
< nice put in place, it may be forgot-
ten.
It Is never necessary to shave them
down to take care of warping or
swelling, as is often found necessary
with a cheaper door.
^The "door within • door" type Is
made in a one-panel door which has
I he graceful proportions demanded In
modern Inferior decorating practice.
