Dunham “Water-Weight” 
Rollers Roll Your Lawn 
Do you know that the most essential tool 
for the care of a lawn is a Roller ? A roller 
will eradicate weeds, discourage moles and 
ants, keep grass from dying out in spots, and 
promote even growth from a hard, smooth 
surface over which the mower will operate to 
perfection. Dunham ‘‘Water-Weight” Roller 
Bearing Rollers are superior to all others. 
They are roller bearing and easy to operate. 
Insist on a Dunham. If your dealer does not 
have them, write us. For sale by leading 
Hardware and Seed Stores. Don’t fail to 
write for our Free Book on Lawn Making. 
THE DUNHAM COMPANY 
130 FRONT STREET, BEREA, OHIO 
The Largest Roller Manufacturer in the World 
ric, 50 inches wide and $2.50 a yard. One- 
half width, however, does for the over¬ 
hangings if they come only to the sill. L 
also enclose samples of cotton velvet in. 
old blue and rustic brown, which you. 
may need for notes of accent in the living- 
room. 
I am sending a sample of a very inex¬ 
pensive but effective fabric made of jute- 
for portieres and hangings in the hall. 
I should not have the shelf of the mantel 
of mahogany. It should be white like the- 
rest of the mantel. 
It seems to me that lighting fixtures in- 
a small house are best kept extremely sim¬ 
ple. Charming effects can then be had by- 
making silk shades of materials that har¬ 
monize with the furnishings of each room. 
Soft silk gives a much cosier and more- 
homelike effect than glass shades and pen¬ 
dants, and I should be very glad to give 
you some suggestions if you carry out 
the color schemes I have suggested, or 
any definite scheme. 
The dining-room might be paneled to- 
either three and one-half or four feet, or 
as high as six feet. 
I enclose a sample of a very effective net 
that would be appropriate for the window 
curtains throughout the house. The effect 
from the outside of the house is much 
more pleasing if all the curtains which- 
hang next to the windows are alike. 
Should you wish to use any of these fab¬ 
rics of which I have sent samples, I should- 
be very glad to purchase them for you 
which entails no extra expense to you. 
Query . — Will you give me some sug¬ 
gestions of artistic furnishings and decor¬ 
ation for a large living-room 27' x 16' west 
front and south side, finished in dark ma¬ 
hogany wood. What would you suggest 
for the walls and lamp and general furni¬ 
ture? The ceiling is beamed and the 
house is a bungalow. 
I also have a lounging room whose in¬ 
side wall is finished in pressed brick, red, 
more yellow than dark, with green finished 
woodwork. What would you suggest for 
furniture and rugs, etc. This is strictly 
a family room and is on the southeast, 
with many windows. 
Both rooms have open fireplaces. 
What wallpaper would you put in a 
north dining-room, finished in quartered 
oak stained dark brown? 
M. O. K. 
Answer . — Hofi Cloth would make a very 
pretty wall covering for your lounging 
room. This comes in a number of weaves 
and colors, and costs forty-five cents per 
yard. I enclose a sample that you may 
know what the material is. The sample 
enclosed is an excellent color to go with 
your green woodwork, but there are other 
colors which I can send to you if you are 
interested. 
In this room I would suggest having 
some large comfortable chairs of willow, 
stained to harmonize with your wall cover¬ 
ing and woodwork. I will also send you 
samples of willow if you are interested.
