Economy Corner TORONTO Butterscotch Rolls The best colors for a ruag or carpet depend on the room and its particular color scheme, but preference almost always should be given to medium or rather dark tones. â€"What has been said as to rugs spplies equally to linoâ€" leums and similar floor coverings. Avoid Large Objects or Many Smail Ones Not even in a large room should a mantel, shelf, table or open cabinet be filled with objects. This is particâ€" ularly undesirable in a small room. Al profusion of pictures on the walls isl also undesirable, tending to make the The next best choice is to cover the entire floor with carpeting, practicalâ€" ly the same effect being achieved with a large rug which leaves a margin of only a few inches showing all round it. Rugs to avoid are those of a size that leave a very wide margin of uncovered floor or that have‘ a wide and dominant border that calls attention to them. Either kind will appear to divide the floor into :ec-l tions and make it look smaller. Certain wall papers also will give this effect. Those which are very helpful have small and not too heavy patterns. _ These should have either an open background in a lighter color or shadowy lines behind the pattern. ! The effect desired is to suggest space behind the patternâ€"that is, behind the actual wall. Desirable for this use are also the pictorial papers in subdued colors, with perspective in the drawing, sometimes showing dls-; tant meadows or a remote horizon line. In some of these the ilHlusion of spacef is remarkable. Dark Fioors Are Advised ‘ No kind o‘ floor gives an appearance‘ of quite so much space as does an: entirely bare one stained in walnut! or other dark color and waxed. It loses little of its value, however, when one or two small and moderately dark, richly hued rugs are arranged on it so as to leave considerable of the dark wood exposed. | Proper treatment of walls is of great importance, and will be discusâ€" sed first. Since a we‘llâ€"lighted room always seems larger than a dark one, walls tinted or painted in suitable light tones produce an illusion of greater size. Among the desirable colors for this purpose, reflecting tho‘ light well, are deep cream, ivory, tan, yellow, gold, and Nile green, the last a warm shade of light green,. These all tend to make any room look larger and more open. Imagine two rooms of exactly the same size, 11 x 13 feet. One of these is believed by everyone who sees it to be several feet larger than the other, its ivory walls and dark waxed floor giving it an air of delightfu) area compared to the small, cramped look of the other room with its brown walls and unsuitable rug, Wall Treatment of Major Importance While much can be done for nearly every small room in the way of inâ€" creasing its actual floor space, someâ€" times even satisfaction comes from giving an appearance of being larger than it actually isâ€"a simulated spaciâ€" ousness. How To Make Smalll Rooms Seem Larger Light Plays Important Part in Giving Musion of Space nf aiiien C290 MnE ced ‘Fresh from the gardens‘ Raising the apparent height of the window alsp makes the ceiling seem higher. This can be done by using either a cornice of a valance across the top of the window, arranging it to come as high. as possible, covering not only the window frame but also a number of inches of the wall above the window.â€"From "The Christian Science Monitor " A ceiling that is very 1®y tends to make a small room look smaller therefore it is well to try to increase the apparent hbeight of the ceiling. Wall papers containing stripes or patâ€" terns with vertical lines make a wall look higher. Plain tinted or painted walls, in a suitable light shade, have the same effect. The same may be said of wooden molding placed at the very top of the walls, next the ceiling. The best place for a mirror used for this purpose depends on the room itself, but it should not be placed in 4& corner, but somewhere along a wall. Frequently it can do most for a room if placed on one of the two longer walls, as, for instance, on the 16â€" foot wall of a room measuring 10 x 16 feet. A mirror of good size, or two mirâ€" rors of which one at least is fairly large, can work wonders for a small room which one desires to have apâ€" pear larger. This is because of the i}â€" lusion of space which _ reflections create. It is generally believed that plain, unfigured window draperies should be used in a room having wall paper with a pattern; also, that drapery materials havinz a large, bold pattern always look well with plain tinted or. painted walls. But ‘this cutting up of the room into plain and strongly patterned sections makes a very .mall room look still smaller. In such a place draperies with unobtrusive patâ€" terns that afford n~ strong contrast are likely to look b with either plain! or papered walls. | These should be made wide and full, using the full width or 26â€"inch mateâ€" rial on each side. The rod on which they are hung should be long enough to bring them out beyond the window itself, to cover the outer twoâ€"thiris of the window frame and six or eight inches of the wall as well. This exâ€" poses all 0% the window glass and the inside oneâ€"third of the frame at each mide. Draped thus any window laoks much wider, and, in turn, gives the room an appearance of more space. ( Because they seem to add to its diâ€" mensions some portion of the outâ€"ofâ€" doors windows make a room look larger. If there is only one Window, and a narrow one at that, an apparâ€" ent increase of the size of the winâ€" dow will be helpful to the room. This is done by a certain management of, window draperies. _ \ a light color. .

Stone, of the Associated Press, under whom "Red" Lewis worked.

M. Hutâ€" chinson, of "If Winter Comes" fame, who was a Fleet Street (London) ediâ€" tor in the old days; and I mustn‘t forget Willa Cather, who was it one time a firstâ€"class newspaper woman. " The number of famous writers who graduated from the newspaper proâ€" fession, is legion. . James M. Barrie was a reporter long before "The Little Minister" preached hbis ~rst sermon. George Bernard Shaw was music critic for a London evening paper, "The Star," under the editorship of T. P. (Tay Pay) O‘Conmor, in his younger days, Jerome K, Jerome started his writing career as a rewsâ€" paper man, and one of his first asâ€" signments was to report a sermon by the famous preacher, Spurgeon. It was a warm Sunday morning, and Jerome has recorded how Spurgeon began his serman by mopping his brow and remarking that it was "darned hot." Kipling, too, spent the first seven years of his careerâ€"from 1882 to 1889â€"on the staffs of two Indian newspapers. â€" The medical proiession contributed _such master writers as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, W. Somerset Maugham and Dr. Weir Mitchell, although the latter never abazrdoned the pmactice of medicine, and therefore, hardly beâ€" longs here. Conan Doyle had built for himself a scund reputation as a doctor when "Sherlock Holmes" took the world by storm and brought him a fortune. Somerset Maugham was one of the ablest physicians and surgâ€" eons in England when his first novel, "Liza of Lambetb," was published in 1897 and made an instantaneous sucâ€" cess, thereby setting his fate. Dr, Robert S. Bridges, John Maseficld‘s predecessor as Poet. Laureate, was also a fully qualified medical man. Thackeray hoped to win fame with his brush rather than with bis pen, and George Dua Maurier, was already famous as an artist when "Trilby" put him on the map of the literary world. _ Hall Caine was secretary .o Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the poet and painter, long before he began to write novels. D. H. Lawrence was a humble young schoolmaster when his first povel, "The Whit, Peacock," appearâ€" ed and heralded the arrival of a new literary star. Israe]l Zangwill likeâ€" wise taught school before taking to the pen for a living. H. G. Wells was a draper‘s _ssig. tant before he became a science teach» er and a popular novelist. . Pdgar Al« lan Poe worked in a counting house and"later enlisted in the United S:ates Army sefore embarkin, on a spectacâ€" ular literary career that landed him among the immortals. . Owen Wister started life in a Boston banking house and then took up. the law ere "The Virginian" made him famous. Arnold Bennett was employed in a lawyer‘w office till he was 26 and had turned 30 when he published his first novel, "A Man From the Nortb." tory, and then became a clerk in a lawyer‘s office, in Gray‘s Inn.
