well substitute for the mirror so often put 
there, a large picture built into the panel¬ 
ing. Pictures should be grouped accord¬ 
ing to color, and harmony should be the 
object of grouping. Tall pictures to¬ 
gether, long or horizontal pictures to¬ 
gether ; water colors and those of light 
tones in one group, etchings and black 
and white in another. This same consid¬ 
eration is true of the groupings of frames. 
Pictures hung in steps are unsatisfactory, 
and there should be the object of group¬ 
ing to assume the appearance of the wall 
space that it occupies, or at least to have 
its dominant lines concur with the domi¬ 
nant direction lines of the wall space. 
Small pictures are best hung low and 
grouped together. Some people have pro¬ 
duced attractive results by having the tops 
of all pictures hung above furniture in a 
straight line. The irregular lower line 
adapts itself to spaces for chairs, tables, 
bookcases, etc., and fills in the spaces left 
by the different heights of the pieces of 
furniture. 
The House That Was Built for 
Comfort 
(Continued from page 295) 
this room may be shut off by means of 
square paned leaded glass doors and 
screened by hangings of heavy linen with 
English block print design. At the end of 
the dining-room is the enclosed piazza or 
sun room that is practically the dining¬ 
room annex. It is a step lower down. 
This room is devoted to the growing of 
orchids and ferns and for this purpose is 
fitted with two flower benches and wide 
window sills. The radiators are hung 
around three sides of the room. In order 
to provide suitable moisture a trough run¬ 
ning the length of the room is kept filled 
with pebbles and water. The windows are 
all casement and permit the entire room 
to be thrown open to the light and air. 
At the other end of the entrance hall 
one steps down into the living-room, a 
great airy room extending directly across 
the house. This, too, is finished in chest¬ 
nut, but in a high wainscot of wide strips. 
The furniture, even to the piano, is emin¬ 
ently fitting. That generally ugly hulk 
here shows the pinned joints of craftsman 
furniture and with its rectilinear lines fits 
into the wall paneling perfectly. 
The lower level from the hall makes the 
living-room a little more private but entire 
seclusion may be had, if desired, in the 
great inglenook at the northwest end of the 
room. Within it two leather cushioned 
seats flank a spacious fireplace of Harvard 
brick, rich in color, and with occasional in¬ 
sets of Moravian tile. A specially designed 
copper hood shields the fireplace throat. 
The floor is of similar brick. This is 
just the sort of living-room that one 
would find comfort in after busy days,

Genuine "Standard" fixtures for the Home 
and for Schools, Office Buildings, Public 
Institutions, etc., are identified by the 
Green and Gold Label, with the exception 
of one brand of baths bearing the Red and 
Black Label, which, while of the first 
quality of manufacture, have a slightly 
thinner enameling, and thus meet the re- 
Stattdard <$amtar.y Iftfy.Co. 
quirements of those who demand "Standard" 
quality at less expense. All "Standard" 
fixtures, with care, will last a lifetime. 
And no fixture is genuine unless it bears 
the guarantee label. In order to avoid 
substitution of inferior fixtures, specify 
"Standard" goods in writing (not verbally) 
and make sure that you get them.
