LET HOME EXPRESS YOU
A famous artist, in the field of in-
| terior decoration has said: “It is the
| right of every woman to look pretty In
her own dining room™ I would
mplify that statement to read: “It
is the right of every woman to feel at
ease In her own home.”
It may be a question of enhancing
personal beauty by the setting which
is created. Why not? We are always
at our best when we are conscious of
looking our best. If we are to be at
ease In our homes, we must not neg-
lect this factor of making them a be-
coming background for ourselves,
The home Is a reflection of the per
sonality and tastes of its owner. Con-
sciously or unconsciously as we build
our homes bit by bit, we put ourselves
into them.
We surround ourselves with the
things we love, the things In which we
have an interest. We usually bulld our
color schemes of our favorite colors
which are usually the ones becoming
to us In our dress.
As we grow and as our tastes
change with added interests, that fact
is apt to be registered In our homes
We find ourselves eliminating things
which we no longer find beautiful. in
other words, we cast aside those
things which no longer express us,
Nothing could be more expressive
of a college girl than her room. The
walls are literally covered with pen-
nants, pictures, dance programs and
what-not. The room probably violates
every known principle of decoration
yet it has charm and atmosphere and
it presents an appeal because it be
speaks the personality of Its owner, It
is youth's expression of its Interests,
of the things near to the heart.
This room will be changed as the
owner grows older. One by one the
ornaments lose their meaning and are
replaced by new ones more In keeping
with older ideas. A college girl's room,
however charming, would be incon
gruous as a sefting for a mature
woman,
It is possible to tell quite a bit
about the character of a stranger hy
studying her surroundings. Her books,
her pictures, little ornaments all hold
the story of her personality.
