Take, for instance, the mat- ter of hanging pictures. Everybody does not know how to hang a picture so as to bring out not only the best IUDLLW. In the first place, in hanging pictures there must be a general scheme to which the tone of the pictures should conform. A dark carbon, for example, t hang near an etching drawn in delicate lines and bordered by a broad, white mat.
