Color effects and patterns which cause irritation were deplored by the speaker. To utilize the natural light to the utmost, to avoid colors which cause high lighs and shadows; to lone a room proper ly. were some of the problems which Mr. Fries recommended to the atten tion of the business, men. Decora tions in the home must always be considered from the point of cheerful ness, he concluded. Beauty must be brought into business life as well as into the horns, maintained the speaker. Art should also take up her habitation in the business office. Here at least, one may observe, is a free laboratory—or studio—in which the T. B. M. may work out his new found interest in art. Should friend wife resent his yearnings after com mand in the realms of the spirit, and remind him that the home is womah's sphere, ho can always go downtown and try art out on the rftenographer. Probably, however, no wife will be so cruel as to drive him to such lengths. Most women are wise epough to appreciate that a room planned by tiyo is just twice as en joyable, even though it may be only half as beautiful, as that which re flects one person's will alone.

Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” A Letter and a Family Conference. Lillian moved to the door swiftly aa she spoke and unlocked It. Katie, her face purple with excitement, al most fell into the room. "Coom qveeck to old woman's room,” she gasped. “I tink she awful bad.” I ran swiftly past her, followed closely by Killian, calling over my shoulder to Katie to fetch some water Immediately. But at the open door of my mother-in law’s room I paused seeing that whatever of alarming weakness had been hers. It was pass lng. True, her figure sagged against her chair, as if utterly spent, but the color in her lips—the first thing which I watch in her—and her eyes were gleaming with determination. An open letter was clutched in her hand and as we entered, she raised It, and shook it at me feebly. “Call Harriet and Edwin and Rich ard up here immediately,’’ she said. “No, Mrs. Underwood,” as Lillian moved toward the door. “I want you to stay, too, Katie'."—she greeted my terrified little maid, iwhose shaking hand had difficulty id proffering me the glass of water for which I had asked—“stop that trembling—I’m all right—and go down to the children. Don't let any one of them come near this room, where they can hear what's being said, until I send for them. Do you understand?” “Oh, yes, ma'am, I feex,” Katie's familiar slogun sounded, as she fol lowed my hurried passage down the stairs, and she was at my heels when X entered the living room. “Mother Graham would like to see all the 'grown ups’ in her room up stairs right a\tay," I announced in as casual a voice as I could manage. “Katie will stay here With you. X know she'd love to play that game of animals with you." "All I could play would be a leetle donkey,” Katie caroled, grinning widely, and in another minute the children were gathered closely around her, for they all adore her, und the three older people were fol lowing me upstairs. “What's eating mother?" Dicky asked in a low voice as he overtook me on the stairs. "I wish I knew,” I murmured back. ”1 think she must have re ceived a letter which disturbed her, for she W'aved one at me when she told me to bring you all upstairs.” “A letter!” Dicky repeated vague ly. ”1 haven’t seen any mail yet to day.” "Nor you won’t until your mother gets through looking it over,” I re torted. "Have you forgotten that she Insists upon having all the letters brought to her first—" "And then transforms herself into a postman, sorting and distributing them,” Dicky Interrupted. “ I ought to remember it. She’s held me up often enough that way. But X won der what’s In the wind now. that she’s hauling us all up for this mys terious conference.” He did not have to wait long for his answer. As we filed into the room Mother Graham took a quick, com prehensive look at us, and spoke im peratively. "Lock that door and bring some chairs near me. We don't want the children to overhear this.” Lillian Iteads (lie Letter. We obeyed her, and when we had formed* a compact circle around tier, Mother Graham surprisingly held out the letter to Lillian. "Airs. Underwood, you are the only one who Isn’t vitally concerned in this," she said, "so you wan't waste any time 'oil ing or ‘ah-log’ over It. Please read it, slowly and distinctly, mind you!” She had all the air of a fourth grade teacher directing a reading lesson, and I saw Lillian's lips twitch as she took the stiff paper my moth er-inlaw handed her. But she obeyed the directions implicitly, and I think even my captions mother-in-law was satisfied at her reading of the star tling epistle to which she listened. The heading was that of an attor ney in a Pennsylvania village, the date that of a few days before, the address most formal. "Mrs. Harriet Graham, Bridgehampton. L.L., “New York. "Dear Madame,” the letter began. "It has come to our knowledge that without our permission you have removed the children of our late be loved brother, William Harrison, to your own home, and are there keep ing them, without having consulted us as to our wishes in the matter. Therefore—” Mother Graham thrpw herself hack in her chair violently. "J,ate heloved brother!” she snort ed. "Why, not one of them* had spoken to William for 15 years.” For Miss English. Affairs during the week for Miss Mary; T,ouise English, whose marriage to Paul Reed will be solemnized Feb ruary 5, include a bridge luncheon Wednesday given by Mrs. Robert Van De Ven at the home of her mother, Mrs. C.
