The Only SAFE Refrigerator to Use 
T he health of yourself and family is in danger if you 
use any other refrigerator than The Monroe.

milk, gravies and particles of food collect and breed germs by the 
million. These germs get into your food and make it poison, 
and the family has summer complaint or stomach troubles from no 
traceable cause. 
The Monroe Refrigerator alone has no cracks or sharp comers. 
The interior is made of one piece of seamless porcelain ware an 
inch thick (construction patented) with every corner rounded. 
The Monroe can be sterilized and rendered germlessly clean in 
every pari in an instant by simply wiping it out with a cloth 
wrungfrom hot water. Thisistrueof noother refrigeratorxn the world.

occupied by people who core—and why The Monroe is found today in 
a large majority of the very best homes in the United States.

screen, three panels lightly hinged. It 
may be covered in Japanese grass-cloth 
or bits of quaintly figured brocades, 
edged about with gold galloon,—the 
character and furnishing of the room 
to determine the choice. Where simple 
lines, plain colors and mission furniture 
are used, — the Japanese grass-cloth 
screen is best. If a small table wears a 
cover of brocade trimmed with the gal¬ 
loon, the effect of using the same in the 
little screen is attractive. 
Where a window seat, chaise-longue, 
or davenport holds many pillows, the 
coloring of the covers of these should be 
most carefully selected. If a figured 
wall-paper is used in the room, these 
materials should all he in plain or two- 
toned color effects. To reproduce the 
colors shown in the rug of the room is an 
acceptable scheme. 
In this day of shaded lights, no room 
is complete without its lamp - shades 
or candle-shades. I'hese may he made 
of thin soft silk fluted on the large wire 
frames, which may he purchased for 
seventy-five cents. A tiny moss fringe 
should trim the lower and upper edges. 
A shade of this kind can he constructed 
at home at very little expense. Also 
attractive shades may he made from the 
Dresden silks, showing tiny baskets of 
flowers in colors on white or cream 
ground. A'he silk is stretched smoothly 
on the frame, and all joinings are cov¬ 
ered by dainty gold lace not more than 
one-half inch in width. There are no 
more beautiful shades made than those 
of vellum hand painted. The soft ivory 
of the vellum makes a particularly effec¬ 
tive background for the decoration of 
Empire or Louis XVI. design. 
Quaint bits of brass in book racks, 
candlesticks, candelabra, jars, and 
boxes, may be picked up in some of the 
small Russian shops that are finding 
their way into all of the great cities. 
These cost very little and are most 
decorative. 
Where correspondents write to this 
department in regard to such detail in 
furnishing, if they will send a hit of the 
wall-paper used in the room to he con¬ 
sidered, or at least a complete color 
description of the same, w’e will he able 
to help them practically.
