House & Garden 
JL IMES change and interior 
finish has changed with time. 
Today, the first requirement of a 
wall is that it stay in the back¬ 
ground— it must be quiet. Quiet, in order 
that the beauty and proportion of a room 
be enhanced. Quiet, so that the furn¬ 
iture, hangings, -rugs, pictures, all the 
"makeup" of the home’s personality may 
be allowed expression. 
To see a room finished in its own shade 
of Liquid Velvet forever cures one of the 
antiquated desire for patterns. Liquid 
Veloet comes in white and 24 shades. 
li'rite for booklet and color chart. 
Liquid Veloet is an oil enamel that 
dries without lustre. Walls and ceiling^ 
may be cleaned repeatedly without harjm- 
ing the finish.

K <( Hugonis’ Rose 
—a rare variety of great beauty. Its 
|B WSS yard-long sprays of delicate bloom 
raplV are of rich yellow. The foliage is dain- 
PSw ty and attractive throughout the sea- 
son. The young shoots of rich crimson 
lend an added charm. Yet this remark- 
wB able new beauty is as hardy as a daisy 
and a vigorous grower. We recommend it 
heartily for the lawn or for planting 
among shrubbery. Own-root pot plants; 
2 yr. size, $1.50 each, postpaid. Larger 
f 2-yr. plants, by express, $2; 3-yr. by ex¬ 
press, $5. 
Every reader of House & Garden should 
plant at least one “Hugonis” Rose this 
Spring. And we have enough to go around— 
if you order promptly.

By Discarding Something Good 
for Something Better 
E VERY time you forced 
your boiler or furnace 
to keep you warm this win¬ 
ter, you drove far more ex¬ 
tra heat up the chimney than 
you secured in your rooms. 
Up chimney heat is abso¬ 
lutely wasted heat. 
Wasted heat costs money. 
How much wasted money 
your system may be costing; 
you don’t know. But we can 
show you. We can show 
you that no matter how eco¬ 
nomical you think your sys¬ 
tem is ; for even the average 
weather; the Kelsey Health 
Heat is far more economical. 
This is a strong claim. But after 
you have our facts and figures, you 
may see the wisdom of substituting 
a Kelsey for your present system. 
You won’t hesitate to discard 
something you thought to be good; 
for something you find out is de¬ 
cidedly better. 
Whatever you do or don’t do; at 
least send for booklet called “Some 
Saving Sense on Heating.”
