"FOUR WALLS DO NOT A

Nor Are Wedding Presents and Chance Pur
chases Likely to Contribute to the
Home Beautiful
iktpW that spring Is almost hero and a great many women, Impelled by that
SS vernal bacillus which Is responsible for housccloanlng orgies, will bo Imbued
With, tho desire1 to renovat6 everything In eight, I am moved to say a few words
"doing tho House over."
The number of women who have sufllclent money to ncqulro all the necessities
for a tastefully furnished homo and yet wno haven't the first knowlcdgo of tho
principles that must be followed In tho selection of thoso necessities Is fairly
Incredible.
The hldcosltles that abound Iri wallpaper, carpets, rugs and furnlturo, an
J' expert tella me, aro tho direct result ol
any Illusions tho manufacturers and designers aro laboring unuer ns to ineir
beauty,
Indeed, a furnlturo connoisseur declares that at tho proBont time It Is moro
difficult to buy things In bad than In good taste, because an era of good lines
tend genuine merit Is noticeable In modern furniture.
but evon though ono Is happy In the selection of furnishings, how Is a
-woman to achlevo a satisfactory and artistic ensemble If sho has no conception
of tho simple laws that constltuto tho
"Havo nothing In your home," says "William Morris, "that you do not Know
' to ho useful or believe to bo beautiful."
This Is an excellent rulo to follow, If ono could only bo suro that her Ideas
of beauty are tho correct ones. Dut nlno times out of ten they aren't. Take,
for instance, tho qucstldn of hardwood floors. Now, to tho avcrago woman, a
hardwood floor was made to he polished, yea, oven though It mean a pain In tho
back and a wrlnklo In tho brow. When, as a matter of fact, an artlstlo decorator
will tell you that It is not natural, and thcrcforo la unbeautlful, for wood to
ehlnc. A luminous dull finish which brings out tho flno grain of tho wood Is
moro to bo desired than tho glassy surfaco which requires tho courago of a
tout heart and tho genius of a nlmblo tread to navigate.
A wholo book might bo written on tho subject of color In tho homo and
color psychology. Do you know, for Instance, that yellow, In nddltlon to being
cheerful and warm, Is also what Is known as an expanding color and that a small
room can bo mado to actually seem larger If It Is papered in yellow? In like
manner, red intensifies and bluo contracts, ond thoy should, thcrcforo, bo used
to a consldorablo degrco In largo rooms only.
Low ceilings can bo given the effect of height and high ceilings can be
mado to look low with tho propor selection of wallpapers and drapery. Cheerless
rooms which do not get tho sunlight can bo mado to look bright and warm,
Just aa garish rooms can bo toned down to tho right degrco of cosiness, If you
only know how.
Excellent books and articles nro being written almost dally about home deco
ration, and yet It Is a curious fact that tho avcrago American homo Is nn un
pleasant hodge-podgo of wedding gifts and chance purchases. They don't seem
to havo beon planned or dreamed over. It matters not whether your abode
consists only of one small room or whether it is of mansion proportions, artistic
arrangements can bo achieved at as small a prico and in somo cases smaller
than gaudy, lneffccttvo ones.
To thoso of my readers who are Interested In knowing somo of tho first
principles of good tasto In homo furnishing and who will sond mc a sclf
nddrcsscd, stamped envelope, I wilt gladly send tho namo of -a fascinating Ilttlo
book that covers this subject adequately.
Is This Heroism?
"Thou shalt enjoy thyself," says Woods Hutchinson, In a current article
on "Beauty," "ought to bo tho eleventh commandment," and although tho doctor
may bo flippant and very frivolous In virtually all of tho articles ho writes, his
Ideas aro usually animated by hard common senso and aro of practical working
value. For Instance, this advice:
"Tho first, last and main thing In Hfo Is to live hard and Joyously and nil
over no fear of using yourself up or burning yourself out boforo your tlmo.
Tho stronger drafts you can keep up, tho more fuel you can burn, tho farther
and more effectively you will run. Live not only hard and Joyously, but hard
and dangerously. To husband your resources, sao your Ufo force, may bo
prudent In tho cap and spectacles nge; but 'go it whllo you'ro young' Is tho
best policy up to 5G.
"It Is tho full, busy, interested life that Is tho long and happy one, and tho
empty, monotonous, restricted, guarded life which makes you fat and flabby
or lean and fibrous In tho forties nnd lands you in premature decrepitude and
early decay. Llvo tho llfo of your time, keep in touch with everything that
la going on, tako an Interest and hand In everything sano and decent, and you
Will keep on improving nnd growing and bo attractive and Interesting till
you aro 65, 70, 75." M'LISS.

What of Kissing?
Dear Deborah Hush Will you tell me
In your Good Form column whether tt Is
bad form to let a young man kiss you
goodby when he Is leaving after paying a
call. I know a young man who has been
calling on mo at least once a week for two
months. As he was Iealng last time he
said he thought I should let him kiss me
on the cheek. He said I was green when
I refused; that ladles und gentlemen al
ways did so. Is he right? I said no at
first, but finally let him. and I don't feel
just right about It. Would like to have
your opinion. a. T. B.
Your feeling In this matter Is absolutely
correct, It is a pity you did not keep to
your first decision. It is never proper for
a girl to allow a man to kiss her unless
she Is engaged to marry him, and even
then one should be very temperate In this
matter, as In all things,
DEBORAH RUSH.
Kitchen HintB
Always take care to use a silver knife
when you are cutting vegetable or fruits
for salads. If you use the cold water
from the faucet these day and put your
lettuce, celery or cucumbers In this to
keep until used, Ice will not be necessary.
The same may be done with butter balls.
Change the water often if the kitchen Is
too hot Cover the bowl with a wet
piece of muslin.
Wax 'Em
If you find your low shoes slip and
cause large holes to come in the heel of
your very best silk stockings, try rub
bing the heels of the stockings with par
affin. You will have no more holes, ex
cept those that come from wear.

Biography of St. Valentino
I'pAN' any one tell mo of tho biography
Jot St. VaIentlno7 I should llko to
know, also, how tho United States camo
to bo called Undo Sam. I do know that
two brothers had to sign somo paper nnd
they called Samuel last nnd said: 'Let
Undo Sam sign now.' When and what
was It? MRS. I. H."
St. Valentino was n Christian martyr
who suffered death for his faith about tho
year 270 A. D during tho reign of tho
Hmperor Claudius Until tho Gregorian
calendar was put Into universal use tho
anniversary of St. Valentino's death fell
upon February 14. This date had long
been observed by tho Greeks und Romans
ns a festival In honor of Juno, At this
colebratlon tho pagan custom was to send
love letters. Somehow tho two festivals
got mixed up. Later tho original observ
ance of the day was lost sight of by all,
Cupid lmlng his own way with pagan
nnd Christian Tho anecdote concerning
tho Introduction of Uncle Sam into Amer
ican history Is now to me. I Bhould like
to hear moro of it. Lexicons define It as
"a jocular extension of tho Initials of U
S." In like spirit wo hno contracted the
namo of a great political parly Into
"g. o. p." Fifty years henco your grnnd
son, in coming upon these letters in his
history class, will ask for what they
stand and why.
Proper Thing to Do
"What Is tho proper thing to do when
attending a church scrUco of any kind
of which you are not a regular attendant,
whether Roman Catholic, Protestant.
Jewish or any other? Should you rlso
when others rise, kneel, etc.? Kindly an
swer as soon as possible. P. II."
Dcyond question, courtesy and rever
ence for the placo consecrated to dlvlno
serlce require you to follow the practice
of the worshipers nbout you. It you aro
not willing to rise and kneel as tho serv
ices dictate, stay away. You aro not
obliged to attend that particular placo of
worship. Th clrcumstanco that you
havo entered It voluntarily makes It a
matter of civility, if nothing more, that
you should comply outwardly at least
with tho form prescribed by that com
munion. To act otherwise would render
you conspicuous and exclto displeasure or
ridicule.
Songs of School Days
"I hope Borne ono has at least ono of the
three things I am seeking: A songbook
pamphlet we used In the eighth grade nt
school entitled, I think, either Blackwell's
or Dlackman's 'Singer ' Two of the song;
contained In It nro 'Nearer Home" and
"Soft Words Turned Away Wrath." Sec
ond, a songbook pamphlet containing all
the songs, with music, of tho opera "Ilobln
Hood.' This also was used at school.
These booklets are only paperbound. Lnst.
but not least, I should like the sacred
song, sheet music, entitled 'Face to Face,'
In medium key. I will return postage
onltoranythlngIreceiye.Rgn jici
I hope you will receive all three of the
things you aro seeking or learn where
they may be obtained. If they have been
preserved by those who were interested in
them in their school days, It Is not prob.
able that they are valued now.
Has Weak Ankles
"Could you tell mo through the Corner
If any one has a pair of anklo braces that
he does not need any longer? I have weak
ankles, that continually 'crack' when I
walk. I cannot afford the prlco of a pair,
and so I would be much obliged to you If
you would print my need. It may be
there is a, pair that are not needed.
"M. B."
Address and story are entered In our
books. One who was lame and now walks
the earth, an agile man, could not make
a more fitting thank-offering than, by
transferring the useless, ugly reminders
of former infirmity to this poor fellow.
Correct Quotation of Toast
"Can a reader glvo me tl correct
quotation of this toastj "Wan day when
I was 1X10 in the cellar, I found a

estimation. Now wo would bo grateful If

I do not recall now nny bom fldo leap

secretly of tho opinion that sho could say
"Just tho right thing" to tho right girl.
If she wero a man, why does not each of
you Jolly girls compose what a man ought
to say, If ho only knew how? Write It out
carefully and commit to memory nnd
then! Perhaps tho composition may mako
you a trlflo moro chnrltablo to somo poor
fellow whoso declaration sticks In his
throat when ho would be most eloquent.
And when all Is said and done, do we
know of any moro direct road to tho do

Alden, who was trying to urge the suit of
his especial friend upon her "Why don't
you speak for yourself. John?" That
may havo been leap year. Who knows?
True, but Ungrammatical
"Why Is It incorrect to say or wrlto
such a scntenco as this: 'If a person
knows what is their duty, it Is a sin not
to perform it to tho best of their nblllty'?
I know this Is true, but my chum pays It
Is not good grammar. Will you decide tho
dlsputo? j j G ,,
A person is In tho singular number.
Yet you use a plural pronoun In speaking
of him or her. Tho error is common. It
is grossly ungrnmmatlcal, nevertheless. It
may sound pedantic to say "his or her
duty," but it is correct. Good writers
smooth over the difficulty by saying "he"
and "his," assuming that the person Is
masculine. Your chum Is right In correct
ing you, but ho should not accuse you of
using bad grammar. All grammar Is sup- 1
posed to bo good and exact. lie should i
havo said "ungrammatlcal."

COLD. MOIST COMPRESS GOOD
By WILLIAM
ONn of tho most effcctlvo remedies tor
croup Is unfortunately unavailable In
households whero the 18th century view of
"catching cold" prevails nnd catarrhal
or "spasmodic" croup Is usually prevalent
In theso very households. A mother who
Imagines her child gets croup because ho
has had his feet wet or becauso ho went
out without his coat or muffler on will
hardly bo willing to npply n cold, damp
cloth to tho chltd's throat as a prophylac
tic or remedial measure.
When the child retires with tho symp
toms of a "cold" nnd begins to cough In
tho night with that peculiar brassy,
croupy cough, then Is tho tlmo to npply
tho cold rriolst compress. It will often
prevent tho attack or even relievo the
croup after It has developed. Hero Is tho
way to npply It:
Wring out a small towel, a napkin or
yard squaro of cloth In the coldest water
you ha 0 nt hand top water Is never too
cold Wring It thoroughly, so that It will
not drip Fold It quickly In a pad about
tho nlzo of your hand and npply It to tho
front of tho throat from ear to ear. Cover
It with a piece of oiled silk or somo waxed
paper nnd retain It In placo by a fow
turns of bandage about tho neck. If relief
Is not Immediate, npply a fresh compress
cory fivo to ten mlnutoa for hnlf nn hour
or moro. If relief follows tho first applica
tion, ns I' usually docs, leave the compress
on for a fow hours.
Tho snmo mcasuro Is useful In tho rc
ltof of ncuto soro throat, acute laryngitis
nnd annoying cough duo to Irritation or
tickling In tho throat.
A cold moist compress Is grateful In
tho treatment of headache, especially tho
hcadacho accompanying any feverish state.
For the Hope Chest
A mighty dainty gift for tho hopo chest
or for n young glrl'B birthday Is easy
to mako nt home, and fortunately. It
doesn't look It. It Is a hat stand. They
nro nbout 40 Inches high, and may bo
glided or painted to harmonlzo with tho
color Bchemo of tho girl's bedroom. The
top has n cushion on which tho hat Is
hung.
This Is, of courso, covered with crctonno,
satin, brocade, or somo fancy material
of tho kind A very elaborato model has
a wldc-meshcd gold laco over this, and
ordinary long pins, with different col
ored glass heads, aro stuck In rows
through tho cushion for uso nnd for orna
ment. A rufflo of laco may bo added to
this, nnd tho result will be quite charm
ing. Tho Idea Is to hang tho hat on this
when tho occupant of tho room Is too hur
ried to placo It In Its box.
Filet in Again
Filet Insertion Is as fashionable as ever
on tlno linens, routing couiu ue moro
exquisite, on llngcrlo than tho filet bands
nnd medallions on puro whlto handker
chief linen or crepo do chine. As straps
oer the shoulders on a camlsolo It Is a
now noto. A narrow ribbon Is bound
nbout It on somo models.
To Light You to Bed
A dainty Ilttlo bcdsldo candle Is
very latest accessory to the boudoir.
the
It
may bo had In Trench Ivory, sller or gilt,
nnd have n tiny electric bulb In them, Just
dim enough to show light to hunt for tho
handkerchief, or tako tho time. Tho stor
age battery Inside tho stick will allow tho
candlo to burn 20 hours.
