® WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 Declares Little Accessories Necessary to Complete Home Give Touch of Beauty and Usefulness Essential to Liveable Room By ELSIE WEST "With accessories to match" are words usually applied to the bride as she is described in a stunning gown of "what-you-will" with said acces- sories. They help make up her cos- tume and play an important part in its attractiveness. But there are other things beside costumes that need accessories and a liting room that is supplied with these convenient and decorative touches adds a great deal to its artisticness as well as its com- fort. For what would a living room be that was furnished only with chairs and a davenport? A barn-like place to say the least. It needs the smaller things to fill in the empty spaces, to act as contrasts to the more massive Ce EAM | HLS -- in ithe 4] | = 0 I= Jn R i { I : i) Wy 7 For Cooking in Summer pieces. A tilt top table here and a magazine rack there are the very things to do this. Every living room really needs about four or five tables. One table of medium size to take the place of the table which no longer holds the place of honor in the center of the room, is, of course, necessary as a reading table. Gateleg Table Always Good A gateleg table is always in good taste for this, but if you prefer one of another shape with an unbroken top it may be used. It is a matter to be settled by the individual's ideas. Gateleg tables may be obtained in a variety of different styles, sizes and finishes, from the dull finish walnut or mahogany one to those that are smaller and lacquered in black and made fanciful by the Chinese designs in gold upon them. At least one piece of lacquered furniture is good in nearly every liv- ing room. Recently I saw an attrac- tive little table with three shelves done in an orange-red lacquer. The bottom shelf was probably not more than eight inches wide, and the top one about a foot. A tiny table like this does not take up much room and cer- tainly adds a bit of brightness to the spot it adorns and at the same time is very useful. It needs no decoration, but may be used to hold the ash tray, the evening paper or the afternoon tea cup. Along this same line was a green lacquered coffee table, the top of which seemed to be made of an old Japanese tray. A small, occasional, but highly ornamental table is the second, then, that finds its way into the living room. Of course we must not forget the end table without which the daven- port is not complete. It also has a place at the side of the big easy chair. This table may be bought with the idea of decoration first and have no other use than as a table--then a lamp or a pair of bookends may furnish its adornment. But if one wishes to make it a more utilitarian proposition and yet keep it in the realm of the beautiful, these end tables may be selected for a multitude of purposes. "The," Not "My," Right in "Old Kentucky Home" "Which shall it be? Which shall it be? 'My' or 'the'? 'my' or 'the'?" Isn't that silly? We agree with you, and yet it was the basis of a dis- cussion that was carried on by several historical societies. The question was, did Stephen G. Foster write, in 1858, for the first line of his famous song "The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home," or was it: "The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home"? A bronze tablet to be given Bardstown, Ky., where the song was written, designates the first line as "My old Kentucky home." The first edition of the song in the Library of Congress at Washington was entered for copywright by Firth, Pond & Hall of New York. This first copy is in the form of plate proofs, because at that time these proofs, were made before the title of the song was engraved, and they show that the first line reads "The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home"...... SO that's that. Lesson in Picture Display Brought to Us from Japan We could learn from the Japanese in regard to this point. They display only one picture at a time, choosing the subject that is appropriate to the season of the year, or some special occasion; and they keep it in its place for only a short time. If we were to have enough pictures (and it would not take many) to change at intervals those that hang on our walls, we should see them to far better advantage and appreciate them the more. The decorative effect of the home would thus be enlivened and im- proved, with new color in the old spot.

HOME HAS INSPIRED COMPOSERS OF MUSIC Home and the thoughts that home inspires in the hearts of all people are now and always have been a dominant theme in prose, verse and music. The range is from the sen- timental popular songs of the pres- ent day to the very best poetry and music as represented by the operas. You may hear home eulogized by the children in the streets singing the hackneyed "Back Home Again Blues" and on the opera stage by the beautiful Mignon, in Ambrose Thomas' well-loved "Knowest Thou the Land," who longs for the country of her home --from which she was stolen as a child. Composers of all nationalities have chosen the subject of home for a variety of wonderful arias. Verdi has "Aria," the exiled princess in the opera of the same name, sing a despairing but beautiful song of Ethiopia in "O Patria Mia" (My Native Land.). In the opera "William Tell," Arnold sings "O Blessed Abode," an appealing song of farewell to the home of his youth. "Home to Our Mountains," from "Il Trovatore" is dear to hearts because it expresses the love of every man and woman for home, and all that the word means. For "Home" is universal, and we know when Ger- mont in "Traviata," sings "Thy Home in a Fair Province," he refers not only to his home in France, but also to ours wherever it may be--for any place is a "fair province" when it is a real home. { The Nokol Guarantee Is Bonded by the Fidelity and Casualty Company Nokol is not a substitute for coal Nokol is an automatic heating service which a coal fur- nace, with its dirt, drudgery and uncertainty could never hope to equal.
