It is at a premium in this ,4ay and age of standardization, for 'It becomes increasingly difficult to select anything from a house to a bat jritbout tne certainty that there are I f.- ijiany others exactly like It. : ' The increa sed effott to achieve individuality in the home is in the nature of a reaction against standard' Ration. We feel that the most imporv / tent of our possessions should be distinctive. a,*f v In interior decoration, however. feal individuality la available, without J* fequiring large expense. New tech- |. piques for decorating wall make this ic --iossible because of the variety of patperm and color combinations they : • . •ffer. I f ^ Paint in this connection, has certain jHV advantages that exist in no other 1 vjltpecorative medium--color range anfl jilexihillty. By the simple process 6f . fnixing pigments any desired shade ; j$>T tint may be had, while the colors ^||bemselves are selected, not accepted, • Its in the case with too many decorafive materials. i "I With the use of two or three color Effects another road to individuality Is opened, for they afford an opportunity for each person to make his own color scheme and create his own effects. An examination of these wall treatments will explain why this is so. , Spray spatter and color misting •f? * . «rere unknown until mechanical palntf ' }ng equipment was brought to Its i present state of efficiency. These ef- '-tfects are obtained by coating walls •ft\ 7 <wlth the desired ground color. Harf anonizing spatter colors are then apjplied. - / Since one does not have to wait until the first spatter coat dries before f J f a p p l y i n g t h e n e x t t h e r e i s o p p o r t u - ;.,nit.v to obtain different effects by „j$' '.using paints that dry^to flat, semiand gloss finishes. These treat- 4- if ments are obtained by the use of an Tf^ exceedingly low air pressure. !|vl •- A wide range of delicacy of finlsli >4 is possible and depends on the consistency of the paints used for the airf;* ietippling. Work of this kind is done qulckiy and requires only a small ; aiiHMint of material. By no other J * ' method is it possible to obtain such pnfect blending. > Beautiful two-tone effects of a t in-' class sometimes called stipple work recommend themselves highly. Stip- ^ pling, strictly speaking, is the obtaining < f light and shade graduations by •, i 'naeans of dots. The points of color usually are applied by striking the surface with : brushes wet with various colors and as adjacent colors are thus blende^ ;14f* into one another, the mottled effect L# has come to be known as stippling. Two-tone stippling, therefore, is the blending together in this way of two or more colors, producing an all-over mottled effect. The two-tone figure finish, which Is quickly, easily and economically produced, is another charming treatment. ,| One decides Arst which two colors are desired. These may be different shades of the same color, related colors such as green and yellow-green, or they may be harmonizing colors such as yellow and blue-violet. The selection depends on personal preferences, the purposes the room serves and the contents of the room. The finish Is obtained by painting the walls with one of the colors. When dry the second color Is applied over the first in sections about four feet wide, then a large sheet of newspaper, crumpled into an elongated wad and held In both hands, is placed against the wet paint and rolled over and over down the wall. In this manner some of the wet coat Is removed so that the undercoat shows through. When the four-foot painted strip has been treated, another strip is painted. The process is continued until the room is finished. The resulting design Is free from formal Ity, original and spontaneous. Somewhat similar effects may be obtained by using a coarse cloth or a sponge Instead of the paper. •• Finish and Trim fir ]\p- , of Great Importance ' imeu «uu SPRING GROVE --iuicdur and exterior-- exact careful adherence to correct curve and line, and should last at well and as long as the structural portions of the building. For no matter how beautiful the proportions of cornice and trim they become defacements If they show deterioration. Fir has a texture that enables the mlllwork man to follow your details accurately--gives you sharp, clean corners, smooth curves and flat surfaces. Hemlock has a smooth, close-grained texture that takes a finish like a hard wood. It is a splendid base fbr enamel Fir and hemlock flooring are light and even in color, and remain so, are smooth wearing and long wearing. The wide, clear sizes of spruce are desirable for drainboards in the kitchen-- any use where there is a need for wide, clear pieces that will lay flat and stay flat.' Fir millwork resists decay, retains Its charm. It need not even be all heartwood, although that is an easy specification to meet in fir. Sapwood of fir has exceptional durability even in exposed places, such as exterior trim, verge boards, cornice and gutters, when It is well drained and well ventilated. Fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar all make good siding. The fir is Inherently more durable, but the soft and resln-free hemlock and spruce are equally durable on a well-painted house. The cedar, as siding or shingles, will outwear the house, whether painted, stained or left to weather to Its own soft tones. fir 'I' **tk- Chimney Important Satisfactory service of heating planl or fireplace is entirely dependent on the proper chimney. This Is due to the fact that the chimney is entirely re sponsible for draft, which Is essentlx to supply air for combustion. ! To the Editor : When I announced through these cols, last week that I was going to Mart a correspondence' school of photo play writeing, I hadn't no Idea that they was such a nation wide spread demand for a Institute like this kind in which the public knowed they could place absolute confidence in it and uot be fleased out of their money, but since the announcement come out, the mail has been dirty with letters from people of ail sexes that wants to take the coarse and how much it is and etc. These letters will be answered in the order named at the proper time and the school should ought to be In foot string pretty soon. One letftr however has come to our tension witch seems like It bares repeating und I will take the pains to copy it down here and also grant the writer's request in part which she wrote In the letter as follows: "Ring School of Photo Play Writeing., Ureat Neck, L. I., "Madame; I seen in the* paper where you were going to learn the people to write photo plays and you give a sample in the same paper of a 1 reel comedy as It should be wrote witch convinced me that you got the 1 reel comedy game down to a silence. Well honey I have always wanted to nose into the photo play writeing game and earn a bbl. of jack dureing my loose time, but my mind never runs to comedys. My life has been a sad one as 1 am married to a widower 3 mos. old with a large brood of children over which I spent most of my time brooding over them. It looks to me like If I knew the technic and how to put my sour thoughts down on paper they would make a ideal photo urama but as I say I don't know auything abdlit construction, and etc., so 1 wish you would write' a serieus 5 reel drama without no monkey business about it and if you do as well with it as you have done with the comedy I will be glad to subscribe to the coarse and all that goes with it. --WEEPING WIIJLim" Miss V/illie seems to have the proper menial pose to knock them haggard as a author of heart int. drama and I may us well also say that she has chose the best field, as not only is serious 5 reel plays a whole lot easier to write than a .comedy but producers also offers 5 and 6 times as much money for them and in rare instants pays better than ft of 1 per cent of what you think you got comelng. Well then the necessary items in a 5 reel drool Is (1) a suggestive title (2) heart int. (3) suggestive subtitles (4) a pop eyed girl with loose tear ducks (5 a couple villains and (6) a cho^ua man that can knock them dead. The scenes should ought to be lain out west in some wild rough mining country like New Jersey. For this model reel we will take the title "Wliy Girls Snore", and the locale to Muskegon, Mich. ^ • Characters Lily Nausea, a young achddt mtrm (juvenile lead) Cecil Corset, a jr^feng prospector (juvenile lead) The Baby (soubrette) Geo.

Geo. crawls in through a crack in the window and snoops up behind Lily and sticks his thumb in her eye. Lily's smile broadens as she thinks it Is Cecil who she Is alji steamed up about. % Sub-title: "Is it Mr. Corset?" Geo. scowls and clinches his 2 front teeth. Sub-title; MMr. Corset eh? So that is the way the wind blows." Lily turns and recognizes Geo. and begins to snivvle. Sub-title: "Get the he-il out of my house." Geo. pulls a set of tweezers and is about to yank a few eye lashes when Cecil dashes In. He fires and Geo.'s nose drops off. Subtitle : "I beg your pardon." Cecil picks Lily up by the nape of the neck and takes her home. ' Scene 2--Cecil's chewing gum mine near Muskegon Gulch. Cecil's men is seen digging for the fragrant ore. Long shot a flock of mountain weasels passing acrost the sky line. Cecil comes in with a jovial smile and knocks seven miners down with a pick. Sub-title: "Have you struck gum?" The miners shake thelr eggs. Sub' title: "No but we have struck a rich vein of raspberrys." Heap Big Wart oozes up behind Cecil and scalps him with a oyster fork. Sub-title: "Ouch." Wart goes awjij and Geo. comes OS the scene. Geo. laughs and asks how it happened. Sub-title: "He scalped me with oyster fork." Sub-title: "He thought you was scalped oysters."
