I regret to say that before he died Sir Mortimer felt some misgiving for

The chair was remarkable for the way In WhMB the front of the seat was cut, which made it very restful and comfortable. The oddly shaped little table that had wicker slats from the

top of the table to the lower shelf, all of this furniture being made as airy and open as possible. The divan and the other chair as well were made with these openings wherever practical. Sometimes we enter a room that is restful, giving forth an atmosphere of repose ami quiet which makes us wish to stay there It may not have new furniture :md hangings, or be richly furnished, but what there is has been arranged with such perfect taste that there is a. grateful harmony soothing to weary minds and tired nerves. To arrange such a room it takes more than merely acquired taste, built on knowledge of light and color bar

monies. There must be a sure and certain feeling where 'o put that

chair, where to hafig lhat picture. hoW many ornaments are permissible, what color and design of carpet and paper to use. There are no set rules for the restful room. It may be the library, the bedroom, the parlor, the kitchen even, and but one thing Is common to all these if they are of the restful sort they are not crowded with furniture. We can go out and get gayety and excitennT.t enough; or we can have thes" at home. If we so wish It; but the most of us prefer to come home and feel the restful and quiet atmosphere given by tasteful surroundings It Is given to very few to rise superior to their surroundings. Indifferent to ugly and inharmonious things. Only those who haVe known the figured, yellow paper, the 75-cent

gilt mantle clock, the unspeakable, upholstered, spindle legged sofa, the painted tin plaque on a twisted wire stand those alone who davc known these can appreciate the effort it takes to keep an equable temper over such surioundlngs. and the relief which is felt when foot is set In a home In which the keynote is repose and rcst-fulnesa.
