HE selection of wall paper best
suited to the rooms of a dwelling
is not a matter to be given slight con
sideration. The design Is of major
fmportance, no less than the color.
The exposure of any specific room 1s
a guide to color for it. The size and
shape of the room Is a gulde to cor
rect choice of pattern. The exposure

But, since red is an inflaming and
frritating color In proportion to its
intensity, it has to be handled with
care when ased for decorative pur
poses. Yellow, on the other hand, Is
stimulating rather than irritating and

Persons shudder at the thought of it
and a superstition still clings to many
circumstances connected with the ex-
perience. Some persons still believe
it is a sign of approaching death for
one to see In a mirror the form of a
dead person; or, to pass between car
riages in a funeral procession is an
ill omen,
Much of this fear would
be dispelled If we could only
stand just what does happen in the

mind, or soul, passes on, the body is
of no more value than its component
parts of lime, water, etc, all of which
parts, when measured in dollars and
cents, Is not even worth a dollar, only
98 cents. Strange that we should ex-
alt the body when it Is of so little
value, Place a true value upon the
body and one of the causes for fear
of death will have been removed,
The fear of death will also be dis
pelled if we think of it more as a
transition than a finality. Death is
only the passing of the personality
from one state of existence into an-
other, It does not mark the end of
things, in truth it is the beginning of
a larger and more beautiful life. Ime
mortality is being proved true today,
not only by teachers of religion; but,
the latest discoveries in the field of
science attest the reality of an immor
tal world. Death cannot destroy those
things we love, any more than it can
destroy love itself. “Love Is stronger
than.death,” said the wise man of long
ago.
A wonderful journey into a world of
spiritual realities seems as though It
might be heartily welcomed for those
whose race is run. Why fear?
