with a two-toned effect of clustered dots 
on its surface. 
Domestic wall-papers of fresh crisp 
coloring and really exquisite designs are 
found at extremely low prices. Among 
these is a paper showing clusters ol 
richly colored roses against a creamy 
ground at thirty-six cents a roll of eight 
yards. A French design of bouquets of 
small rose buds and forget-me-nots on 
an oyster white ground is twenty-four 
cents. Yellow poppies apparently 
thrown with a careless hand on white 
ground is twenty-two cents. 
Many of the so-called ceiling papers 
make most attractive side walls, while 
quite impossible for the ceilings. Spea k- 
ing of ceilings, the color chosen for the 
tint, or plain paper for the covering of 
these, is very important. In many 
rooms a purely white ceiling is entirely out 
of harmony w ith the side w alls. There 
are plain papers made for ceilings at 
twenty-four cents a roll, wTich come in a 
wide range of delicate tints. Also the 
prepared wall tints to which we have 
previously referred furnish several ac¬ 
ceptable shades for this use. 
DETAIL IN FURNISHING 
It has been the intention and endeavor 
in these talks to strongly urge the neces¬ 
sity of considering every detail in the 
interior finish of the house. This in¬ 
cludes hardware, tiles, lighting fixtures, 
as well as color and finish for standing 
woodwork and floors. Equal attention 
should be given to detail in furnishing. 
When an acceptable setting and back¬ 
ground be achieved, with suitable pieces 
of furniture well placed, the picture is 
ready for the final touches which give 
life and character to the whole. These 
come in with the selection and grouping 
of pictures and ornaments for mantel 
shelf and tables, screens, table covers, 
covering of cushions and lamp shades, 
—all can make or mar a room. The 
arranging of ferns and small plants is an 
important decorative feature. These 
must be properly placed in the room and 
set in jardinieres or bowls, which are 
entirely suitable to the room, and of 
plain color whether of pottery, metal or 
porcelain. 
A clever woman has invented a tiny 
screen to place on the tabourette or low 
stand holding a palm or fern in its 
unbeautiful earthenware crock. This 
screen is made on the lines of a lamp

rHEN you paint a house, the cost 
and the colors have most careful 
consideration. 
Before you figure-it-out, a low-price-per-gallon 
paint looks cheapest. But let’s see: 
Suppose you were going to paint; for instance, a 
house like the one above. We’ll estimate the 
total surface to be covered at 10,000 square feet. 
We’ll compare the cost of the paint only —Vac good 
paint and the cheap paint—assuming the labor to 
be the same in both cases. 
Now good paint—Lowe Brothers “High Standard” 
—will cover 350 or more square feet to the gallon, 
two coats, and a paint made to sell at a cheap 
price per gallon or a “strictly pure hand-mixed-by¬ 
guess” will cover approximately 200 to 250 square feet 
two coats. This means that it will require 30 gallons 
of “High Standard” Paint, and of the cheap paint 
45 gallons, or 15 gallons more. 
Suppose that the“HighStandard” Paint costs 40 cents 
per gallon more than the cheap—big, doesn't it? 
Still the cheap paint or “hand-mixed” would really 
cost at current prices $8.25 more than the 
lor this work. That isn’t all. The Lowe Brothers 
Paint will last five years and more, and the other 
not over three. 
At current prices, therefore, “High Standard’’Paint 
will cost $9.75 per year less than cheap or “hand- 
mixed.” Worth saving isn’t it? 
Another thing—with "High Standard” Paint prop¬ 
erly put on. there’s no chalking or peeling or crack¬ 
ing as with "hand-mixed” or cheap paint — the 
surface is left in good condition for repainting with¬ 
out scraping or burning-off. 
Do you see the advantage of the distinctive wear¬ 
ing quality of “High Standard” Liquid Paint? 
As to color—“High Standard” Paint offers the 
most durable and beautiful colors, in large vari¬ 
ety. If you are interested in the latest fashions, 
let us send you our color cards.

You buy a refrigerator once in a lifetime 
—you buy ice every day. The walls of 
McCray Refrigerators are scientifically 
built so that they will keep the cold air in 
and the hot air out. They therefore use 
much less ice than others, and soon pay for 
themselves, besides keeping all provisions 
pure and in fresh condition. 
TitcCva^ 
j<^i^ratoRS 
are thoroughly insulated with mineral wool, the best 
insulating material known, and have the McCray Pat¬ 
ent System of Refrigeration which insures a perfect 
circulation of pure, dry, cold air. They are lined with 
White Opal Glass, Porcelain Tile, White Enamel or 
Odorless White Wood, and are the cleanest, sweetest, 
dryest, most sanitary refrigerators rnade. No zinc is 
ever used in their construction, as zinc forms oxides 
that poison milk and other food and is very dangerous. 
Let us tell you how easy it is to have a McCray ar¬ 
ranged to be iced from the outside, thus keeping the 
iceman out of the house. 
McCray Refrigerators are made in all sizes, ready 
for immediate shipment, and are Built-to-Order for 
all purposes. Every refrigerator is positively guaran- 
anteed to give lasting satisfaction.
