THE EDITOR’S TALKS 
{Continued from page 31.) 
mantel shelf of wood, like the standing 
woodwork of the room often solves the 
problem acceptably. This may be set 
against the brick or tile facing. If brick 
is used about the fireplace, the rough 
purple red of clinker brick in certain 
rooms is attractive and appropriate; also 
the smoother, lighter colored bricks are 
sometimes effective. Tile also may be 
used most decoratively when the simple 
mantel shelf is employed. 
There are firms who supply facing 
and hearth of tile in beautiful design 
and color and the shelf may be added 
when it is set in place. Brackets of 
brick or tile, or wrought iron brackets 
may he used to support it. Rough 
brick should never be used for the hearth 
owing to the difficulty in keeping it free 
from dust and cinders. A smooth tile 
or brick set in mortar of the same color 
well smoothed should be chosen, or a 
hearth of cement may he appropriately 
used with brick or tile. There are 
stains now on the market which may be 
used on cement to reproduce the color 
of the tile in the hearth. 
The selection of floor coverings or 
rugs for the house of moderate cost is a 
question in which the householder, who 
is furnishing, is largely interested and 
it is a (|uestion which cannot be treated 
too seriously, as it is of supreme impor¬ 
tance from a decorative view-point to 
choose for this purpose something which 
is suitable in every way. Where the 
color motif is established, either by wall 
covering, wood trim, tile, drapery or 
upholstered furniture, the selection of 
rugs or carpet must be made with these 
well in mind. 
Where wall coverings, drapery or 
furniture covering show a figured sur¬ 
face, a plain floor covering or one which 
shows two or three tones of the same 
color, should be employed. Where the 
walls are plain or two toned in color, 
floor coverings and draperies may show 
figures in modified degree.

which are serviceable and also artistic
