you could have several of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the subjects framed together, and 
you might use one or two single prints. 
I would not use too many Holbeins in the 
same room as the general character of the 
prints is the same, which is not the case 
with Japanese prints. For the other spaces 
you could choose carbon prints of some of 
your favorite subjects. Carbon prints 
measuring 14 x 18 to 16 x 20 inches cost 
about $5.00 each. 
Very beautiful Japanese prints that 
would be appropriate for your room can 
be bought for from $4.00 to $50.00, $60.00 
or $75.00 for a series of prints to fill your 
large spaces. 
If I can be of any service to you in 
selecting your pictures I should be very 
glad to do so. I am in touch with most of 
the artists, try to attend the greater part 
of the exhibitions and see the pictures that 
are offered for sale and know’ the prices 
asked. I have a large collection of Japan¬ 
ese prints of my own, and am well pre¬ 
pared to make selections of prints for any 
one desiring them, and I am, of course, 
in touch with most of the stores that carry 
prints and photographs. 
Query .—I am about to furnish a new 
home and would be most grateful for 
some suggestions as to wall treatments, 
floor coverings, hangings, etc. 
The house covers a ground space of 41' 
x 30' with 41' frontage west. 
The hall is in the center with living- 
room on south and dining-room on north 
side, both rooms facing west. Opening off 
from the living-room toward the east is a 
den. 
I would also like color schemes and 
ideas for bedrooms, one furnished with 
cream enameled bedroom set and another 
in Circassian walnut. The bedrooms on 
upper floor are laid out much like the 
rooms in lower floor. All woodwork on 
upper floor is old ivory enamel. 
On lower floor, Oregon pine in dark 
brown, wainscoting up to window sills. 
Finished hardwood floors down stairs; 
waxed pine upstairs. 
We have a glorious view of San Fran¬ 
cisco Bay, the Golden Gate and surround¬ 
ings and I would like some suggestions for 
a name or inscription or motto suggestive 
of this fact; and where such an inscrip¬ 
tion might be placed. E. w. h. 
Answer .—Your letter of inquiry did 
not state whether you had any furni¬ 
ture which must be employed in your 
down stairs rooms, nor give me any sug¬ 
gestion as to the preference for the color 
scheme for your lower floor. The varie- 
tie: of wall coverings, rugs and other fur¬ 
nishings are in innumerable colors, and 
tones of color, are so great that any one 
of many color schemes might be suggested. 
Old gold and blue, or old gold and mul¬ 
berry make very beautiful' combinations 
of color, and I would suggest that you 
have some wall covering of grass cloth 
fabric, or paper of an old gold used in 
your dining-room, hall and living-room.
