DON'T OVERCROWD YOUR HOME, SA YS INTERIOR DECORATING AUTHORITY

It’s the Greatest of All Sins Against Beauty, Her Opinion, fey Hortense Saunders NEA Service Writer. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The seven deadly sins of the present day are in home decoration, according: to Mrs. Mary Tanner Fairchild, antique col lector and dealer of New York. "And they are as bad as the seven moral don’ts defined by the medieval monks,” she asserts, "because they betray a woman’s judgment, taste, refinement, intelligence—in fact, her whole personality.” Here follows her list of artistic trangressions which will make the home a permanent msjpument to the deficiencies of its mistress: Incongruity between the outside and inside of a home. Overcrowding. Jumbled arrangement. Antagonistic color schemes. Confused styles and periods. Triteness in decoration. Hack of livability. "Let the outside of the house keep faith with the inside,” she warns. "With a Spanish stucco house, don’t use Chinese decorations. Don’t try to make a, conventional apartment too fancy. Stick to simply furniture and plain lines—and don’t, please don’t, overharig and ovedrape it.” Choked Rooms Overcrowding leads all the other sins, she finds. “Many women choke their homes with furniture and bric-a-brac until it looks like nothing but a museum —that’s a relic of the Victorian age of hair-cloth sofas, atrocious chandeliers and startled deer in glass cases. Bad arrangement of chairs and tables can ruin the size and shape of a well designed room architecturally, while cleverness in planning can camouflage a too-little or too-big room and give personality to drab pieces of furniture. "Haven’t you been in a room where none of the furniture looked at home?” she questioned; "where a sofa seemed to be edging out of the room, the chairs restless, and the tables positively menacing? Bad ar-' rangemetn, rather than bad furniture is the reason for it.” As for color —here the sinning cannot be overlooked even by the most broad-minded and tolerant. Mrs. Fairchild suggests a few don’ts that her experience as a decorator has taught her. "Don’t clash colors in humidors, book ends, ash trays, and so-called ‘objets d’ art.’ These all distract the eye from the main beauty and harmony of a room. "Don’t use dark draperies In a somber or north room. If your living room gets little or no sun, use orange, yellow, green or gold combinations. “Don’t use bright colors in a sunny room. This has a blinding, disquieting effect. Use blues, violets or dull reds. "Don’t use bright colors in large unities such as wall draperies or rugs. When your room needs a bril-

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and cheaply made at heme, but it beats them all for quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found how to save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it. has no equal for results. It gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less. Get 2% ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and’ add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified honey, instead of e#ar syrup. Either way, it tastes gPod, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family a long time. It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs—loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, hoarseness or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract and palatable guaiaeol, known the world over for its healing? effect on membranes. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex” with directions. Guaranteed to give a absolute satisfaction or money J3s*. promptly refunded. The Pinex Cos., Ft. Wayne. Ind.
