Making the House Beautiful
The selection of our home furnish
ings is one of the pleasantest duties
that home-loving women have to do.
for there is such abundance of lovely
useful articles to choose from.
Even if we cannot afford to discard
our present belongings. we can consider
how we will replace them, one article
at a time, as chance affords. One can
always plan what they would like to do
and so have their pleasures twice, once
in anticipation and then in realitv.
Such study and planning as this is
called household art, and it teaches how
to carry out color schemes, decide on
the appropriate articles for certain
r ionis and shows the housewife in mod
erate circumstances how to make her
home beautiful iu practical ways.
When women are trained to know
the principles of decoration, they realize
that all that comes into the mind
through the eye is part of one's con
sciousness. Environment means every
thing to a family; you cannot raise
chicks in water or fish in dry sand: nor
«an you have a beautiful life in ugly
surroundings.
Many housewives have a misconcep
tion as to what home is: it should be
restful, quieting and inspiring: not a
ruriositv shop, a savings association or
« museum. It cannot be furnished ac
cording to your feelings, for feelings
j*fe more or less sentiment crossed with
foolishness, and what pleases you one
day will annoy you at another time. It
is no use trusting sentiment to secure

good effects: you must use intellect and
base your judgment on the specific prin
ciples of color, cause and effect.
Consider pictures, for an example;
all are not decorative, few are attrac
tive and very seldom do we see them |
hung correctly. The erratic lines they
are sus; ended by detract from they.
Picture wires should not show, but if
thev must they should be straight. In I
all form of decoration, structure comes j
first. Oak furniture suggests strength, i
It was the woo% preferred by strong,
courageous Elisabeth. It denotes 1
usefulness, tan you fancy anything
light, delicate, fragile being made ftom
this sturdy wood? Vet, in rooms fur
nished with heaviest, sturdiest oak,
women have -been known to place
tracery etchings, dainty and fairy-like
enough to combine with the curving,
graceful, weak furniture of the Louis
XV period.
A violet in a snowy blizzard or a
fur coat on a July day could not be
more startling.
Hor«e|H>wer is not enough to use
in housekeeping and home-making: i
braiu power is quite as much needed.
Artistic principles speak in color, \
form aud effect, and all women should ;
understand the language.
I have compiled a list of harmonil-,
ing colors that I will be glad to send ;
to anyone who needs help in selecting
color tones for furnishing certain rooms.

envelope when sending for this.

My cogitations were brief. The
count after waiting for a minute or
two to let me grasp the full Importance
of the sacritice bo was ready to mule*
In order to secure me against personal
loss blandly announced that there were
but two mortgages on tile chateau.
"You wish me to accept a third mort
gage on tlie place?" 1 Inquired, pursiug
my Hps.
"The chateau Is worth at least a mil
lion." he said earnestly. "But why
worry about that Mr. Smart? My per
sonal note is all that is necessary."
j "Just a moment, count." 1 said, lean
ing forward iu my chair. "May 1 In
quire where and from whom you re
ceived the Impression that 1 am a rich
man?"
He laughed easily. "One who In
dulges a whim. Mr. Smart, Is always
rich. Schtoss Kothhoefeu condemns
you to tlie purgatory of Croesus.''
"Croesus would l>e a poor man in
these days." said 1. "If he lived in
New York he would be wondering
where his nest meal was to come
from. lam not a rich man."
He eyed me coldly. "Have you sud
denly discovered the fact, sir?"
"What do you mean':"
"1 suggest a way In which you can ;
be of assistance to me. and you heal- '
tate. How am 1 to take it. sir?"
His iufe.Viil air of superiority aggra
vated me. "You may take it just as
you please. Mr. Pless."
"I beg you to remember that I am
Count Tarnowsy. Mr."—
1 arose "The gtst of the matter Is
this: You want to borrow 5150.0U) of ,
me. That Is"—
He hastened to correct me. "I do
not call it borrowing when one given
ample security for the amount In- I
volved."
"What Is your idea of borrowing,
may I ask?"
"Borrowing is the same thing as ask
ing a favor, according to our concep
tion of the trausaetlon. I am not ask- |
ing a favor of you. sir. Ear froin It. j
j 1 am offering you an opportunity to 1
put a certain amount of money out at
a high rate of interest."
"Well. then, we'll lcK>k It In that
llsht. 1 am not in a posltloi. to Invest
so much money at this time'
"Suppose that I were to say that any
day Inside the next three or four weeks
would be satisfactory to me." said he.
as if he were granting me a favor.
"Please be seated. Mr Smart."'
"Thank you. 1 fear it is impossible
for me to remain.''
"I shall be disappointed. However,
another lime if not tonight, 1 trnst.
Ami now to come to the point. May I
depend upon yon to help me nt this
trying period? A few thonsand will
t>e «usiciect for present needs, and the
balance may go over a few weeks
without seriously inconveniencing me."
1 actually was staggered. My choler
was rising.
"I may as well tell you first as last.
Coiiut Taruowsy, that I cannot let you
have the money, it is ( >(uite impossi
ble. In the first place, I haven't the
amount to spare; in the second"—
"Euoiigh. sir. " he broke in angrily.
"I have committed the common error
of regarding one of you as a gentle-i
man. Dasli me. if I shall ever do so'
again: There isn't one in the whole
of the Tinted States."
"Von will do well. sir. to keep a civil
tongue in your head." said 1. paling
with fury.
"1 have nothing more to say to you.
Mr. Smart." said he contemptuously.
"Good night. Francois, conduct Mr.
to the corridor."
Strangely enough, 1 did not recover
my sense of speech until I was well
"You will da wall, air, to kaap a civil
tongua in your head."
out into the corridor. Then 1 delib
erately took a gold coin out of my
pocset ana pressed it Into the valet's
hand.
"Kindly give that to your master
with my compliments." said 1 iu a
voice that was intended to reach Tar
no wsy's ear.
Mr. Poopendyke was waiting for me
iu the courtyard on my return.
"What is the matter with you?" I
demanded irascibly. "What's up?
What are you doiug out here with a
lanteru?"
"I was rather anxious," he said, a
uote of relief in his voice. "I feared
that something unexpected might have
befallen you. Five minutes ago the—
Mr. Pless called up ou the telephone
and left a message for you. It rather
upset me. sir."
"He did. eh? Well, what did he
say?"
"He merely commanded me to give
you his cotnplimeuts and to tell you
to go to blaxes. i told him that you
would doubtless be at home a little
later on aud it would sound very much
better if it came from bim instead of
from me. Whereupon be told me to
accompany you. giving rather explicit
directions. He appeared to be in a
tremendous rage."
1 touched heartily. "I must have got
uuder his confounded skin, after all," 1
said.
The countess gave a little sigh of re- j
liet when 1 dashed In upou her a few
minutes later. She had it all out of
me before I had quite recovered my
breath after the climb upstairs.
We sat down at the table. "Now tell
me everything all ovw again." she j
, said.

I became wary. "Nothing odd about!

"I dare say. Still it Is odd that she
should be hiding in the castle of her
a noes"—
| "Not at all. not at all. It just hap-1
pens to lie a handy place. Perfectly
I natural.
"Perfect rot." I added without rioie
or reason.
He grinned. "Nevertheless It's the
general opinion that you are." said he.
I sat up very straight. "What's
that''"
"You're in love." said Oe succinctly.!
It was like n bomb.
"You're crazy!" I gasped.
"Don't think we're *sl blind, Mr.
Smart."
"We?" I murmured, * curious damp
ness assailing me
"That is to say. Brittott. the Schmicks
and myself."
"The Sibtnicka?" t\ was high time
: that I should laugh "Ho. tin! Thy
Schmicks! (!ood ."ord. Man—the
Bcbmieks!"
"The Schmicks ati tickled to death
over it." said lie. " i-jd so is Britton."
Collecting all tv«» sarcasm that I
could command at the Instant I la
quired. "Are yon. Mr. Poo[>endyit«—
are you not ticklish?"
"Very." said he.
"Well. I'm not!" sa!d I savagely.
"What does all this nouseuse uieau?
Don't be an ass. Fred."
"Perhaps you don't know Jt. Mr.
Smart, but you are in love." said be
so convincingly that 1 was conscious
of an abrupt sinking of the heart.
"The deuce you say.*" I exclaimed
rather blankly,
j "Oh. I've seen it coming! For that
matter, so has she. It's as plain as
the nose"—
1 leaped to my feet, startled. "She?
You don't— Has she said anything
that leads you to believe— Oh, the
deuce! What rot."'
i "No use getting angry over it." he
said consolingly. "Falling in love is
the sort of thing a fellow can't help,
you know. You are heels over head in
love with the Countess Tarnowsy
and"—
"Shut up. Fred! You're going daffy
from reading my books or absorbing
my manuscripts or"—
"Heaven is my witness. I don't read
your books, aud I merely correct your
manuscripts. God knows there ts no
romance In that! You are in love.
Now. what are yon going to do
about It? - '
"Do about it?" I demanded.
"You can't go en in this way, you
know." he said relentlessly. "She
won't"—
"Why. you blithering idiot." I roared,
j "do you know what you are saying?
I'm not in love with anybody. My
heart Is— la— But never mind! Now.
listen to me. Fred. This nonsense has
got to cease. I won't have It. Why.
1 she's already got a husband. She's
bad all she can stand in the way of
busb"—
"Rubbish! She can stand a husband
or two more, if you are going to look
at It' In a literal way. Besides, she
hasn't a husband. She's chucked him.
1 Good riddance, too. Now. do you lm
| agine for a single Instant that a beau
' titul, adorable young woman of twen-
ty-tbree is going to spend the rest of 1
her life without a man? Not much!
She's free to marry iigain. and she
will."
"Admitting thnt to be true, why
should she marry me?"
**l dhln't say she was in lore with
you. 1 said you were iu love with
her."
"Oh." 1 said, and my face fell. "1

Ue seemed to be considering some
thing. After a few secouds he nodded
his hend decisively. "Yes, 1 am sure
of It. If the right man gets her she'll
make the tlnest. sweetest wife in the
world. She's never had a ehanre to
show what's really in her She would
be udorable. wouldn't she?"
The sudden question caught nie tin

"She would!" I said, with conviction

'll e was so ridiculous that I thought
for the fun of it I'd humor him.
"Assuming that .vou are right in re
gartl to my feelings toward ber. Fred,
what leads you to believe that 1 would |
stand a chance of winning her?" It
was a silly iiuestion. but 1 declare I
hung on his answer with a tenseness
that surprised me.
"Why not': Yon are good looking, a
gentleman, a celebrity and a man.
Bless my soul, she could do worse."
"But you forget that 1 am—let me
see— thirty-tlve. and she Is but twenty
three."
"To offset that, she has bceu mar- |
ried and unhappy. That brings her
about up to your level. 1 should say.
Her father ought to pay what he
owes. He gave a million to get one
husband for her. He ought to give a
million to be rid of him. so that she
could marry the next one without put- .
ting him to any expense whatsoever. |
I told her I thought it was the cheap- |
est and quickest way out of it. and !
she said. - I wonder!'"
