With House Cleaning
Comes Picture Cleaning
Valuable pictures, pictures you wish to save, require
thorough cleaning not only the glass on the Inside, but
the ploture itself the back resealed, the frame corners
drawn up where they have opened at the miter, and the
frame repollshed or reglldod. Another thing, the arrange
ment of the pictures on the walls should be rearranged at
least once every two years; It will have the same effect as
the rearrangement of the furniture, which Is usually an
Inviting change to any well regulated household. This re
quires a specialty man's tasto and experience, that Is, to
know what Is up-to-date and do the work with care, as
many delicate frames must be bandied by experienced hands.
Then this same expert will point out how an inexpen
sive change In the framing or an Inexpensive picture In the
(old, repollshed) frame will enliven the room or wall It
hangs on.

When one b-rins to dclv Into the art
of modern home decorating he Is nearly
lost In Its possibilities, so vajrt Is the Arid
and so skilled Is the work of those persona
who nowadays rive their lives to the art.
The better class of home furnishing stores
In American cities have decorators who
design Interior decorations, drawing the
whole scheme out with the care of an
architect drawing; the plans for the con
struction of a building-. The home dec
orator Is. per se, an artist, with the ar
tist's appreciation of colors and color
schemes. Havln-c drawn out his Ideas,
the rent of the work Is largely mechanical,
much the same as artisans put Into their
rlaces the wood. Iron, steel and other ele
ments of the building Itself.
Two principal factors enter Into the work
of the home decorator the period of the
decoration and the color relations. These
periods are known aa the Ellzabethlan,
Jacobean, Cromwelllan, Queen Anne, Amer
ican Colonial, Georgian, Victorian, Qothlo,
Charles V, Louis XV. Louis XVI, Empire
and others. The color"ldeaa necessitate
more than ordinary knowledge of the com
plementary relation of colors, such as red
Is the complement of green, blue of orange,
and so on. ,
At this season of this particular year
home bulldlnrr and home decorating are
live questions in Omaha and In conse
quence all who are engaged In these crafts
and arts are exceedingly busy.
Tnste anil I'arne the l.lmlt.
More attention Is being paid to artlstlo
homo decorations In Omaha Just now than
ever before. The better class of Interior
decorations cost money, and plenty of It.
There rractlcally Is no limit to what may
be spent In this line and yet cling to the
artistic; , and yet, the more humble home
may be artistically decorated for a mod
crate sum, the difference being In the
quality of the decorations. For Instance,
there Is on the market a serviceable wall
paper which sells for II to 13 a roll, and
if used with good taste makes a home at
tractive. If the purse will allow, the gen
uine hand tooled leather (real leather) may
be obtained for wall decoration for the sum
of R.50 per square foot, or $31.50 per square
yard. And so In other things.
For parlor, dining room, library and sit
ting room wall effects silks are being used
with draperies to match. These silks are
woven with designs, such as copies of
famous scenes and original paintings of the
masters. These fabrics sell from $1.50 to
$10 a yard. Verdure tapestries over the
plate rails In dining room are the correct
thing. Some use hand-painted walls to
represent tapestries.
Effect of SmrroondlnsTS.
Suggestions of good cheer should predom
inate In the dining room, that "digestion
may wait upon appetite." One writer on
the subject of dining rooms says: "There
Is no doubt that our surroundings exert a
great Influence over our minds and con
duct The decorations of the dining room
should, therefore, be of such temperament
as to suggest good-fellowship. There Is,
perhaps, no color which Is quite so apt In
this particular as red."
This is what Edward L. Brooks notes on
sleeping room furnishings: "As one-third
of our time Is spent In bed, the sleeping
room should furnish us with such surround
ings as to occupy our minds with cheerful
thoughts on retiring, and upon waking to
stimulate our hopes for the work of the
day. As the quaint old saying', goes, It
should furnish us no excuse for getting up
over the footboard. If we are unfortunately
obliged to decorate to walnut or
other heavy woodwork and furniture, the
walls call for enough depth of color to
harmonlxe the surroundings. It may be a
strong ground with plenty of natural flora
to give cheer, adding a light celling in Ivory
or bun to neutralise and reflect the light."
Light, natural wood Is the best kind for
fleeptng room furniture. Polished brass or
enameled beds are recommended for sani
tary reasons. Expensive bedroom sets are
being displayed m Omaha, white mahogany
sets being marked at $447 and tcakwood
sets for $717 a set, thus showing the range
of prices.
For the Parlor.
Colonial style of furniture Is being ex
tensively used In parlors. Such has been
the domand for this class of furniture that
original pieces, overhauled, are to be had
In Omaha. A rule set down for parlor dec
oration la that this room should be pictur
esque without being gaudy. Parler walls
are often covered with real fabrics, silk or
tapestries, with rich effect. Drapery of a
color that will neutralize the effect will re
lieve the bareness of 'a door.
A general rule to be observed in home
decoration Is that whenever a wall is
ornate the portlers should be plain, and
vice versa. Portieres may be made plain
of any material, such as velvet or velour,
or may be embellished with embroidery, i
which may be designed according to the
general design of the room. Lace curtains
are being made with decorated borders
of fillet net to harmonize with the "period"
of the furniture.'
I Hnira and Their Rooms.
It Is essential that rooms should have
hardwood floors to be sanitary and clean.
Oriental rugs are used for the best rooms.
KermanFhah rugs should t be placed In
parlor Turkish or garavans In the dining
room. Afgans and Kluchestelns are used
1b bed rooms. The prevailing colors of the
floor decorations should In all cases blend
happily with wall coverings and portieres.
Domestic rugs are being used more than
ever by those who cannot afford the ex- i
pensive patterns. It is hard to distinguish
some of the domestics from the imported
rugs and for real decorative purposes
there is little or no difference.
The relations of the various rooms of a
popularly decorated house should be har
monious as to color. There should at
least be a blending, which need not inter
fere with the particular decorative scheme
of any one room.
Change la Fresco Faahlvoa.
There has been a radical change In
frescoe decorative art within a few years.
The classic styles of designs are fast be
coming obsolete and are being replaced by
realistic effects In richer and bolder colors.
The old. conventional designs did not offer
sufficient latitude for color schemes or
subjects and patrons of this oUisa of art
looked for something new. The new de
mand has been met with considerable
versatility by the decorators. The new
effects are taken from plant life, animals;
scenes from naturs, such as the woods,
lakes and the like. Such schemes as twe
apple trees, one st either corner of a
room, with branches meeting snd blending,
are effectively used.
An Omaha Arm making a specialty of
fresco work had the other day on display
a model for a dining room. This scene
representing two stags listening to a dis
tant sound. The animals are seen through
a clearing in a forest and are set against
S soft background, making the effect a
yretgr out. TUs particular scene Is dons
In forest green, one that Is restful to the
eyes and supgestlve of the nature world.
This model shows a mahogany wainscoting
five feet from the floor. The celling is
dona in panel effect, with mahogany strips
and a frieze with fruit effects for celling
border.
Reception Italia the Same.
While changes in fresco styles have been
made In dining room, library and hall ef
fects, there has not been much of a change
In the reception rooms, where the Louis
XV or Empire style still obtain to a largo
degree. The new style referred to Is known
as the "art noveau" among the decorators.
Libraries and halls are being treated ex
tensively In deep oriental or red effects.
More attention Is being given this class
of decoration in Omaha this season than
ever before, some of the decorations being
lavish, while others are of the modest
class. The work has become a fins art in
home decoration and the dollars soon count
up In its indulgence. For those whose
means will not afford the expensive fresco
work, there Is tinting which Is being used
in soft and pretty effects.
For More Modest Homes.
Many pleasing suggestions are to be had
for interior decorations of moderately
priced houses in the way of papers and
paints. Some of the paint and paper men
have design books showing just how a
dining room, bed room, hall, living room
or any part of the Interior may be deco
rated to suit the architecture and furni
ture. This brines a form of artistic home
decoration within the range of ordinary
mean a The woodwork of a dining room
may be furnished in Flemish oak, old Eng
lish or weathered oak style without draw
ing very heavily-on the exchequer. If the
woodwork be oak, the finish will be the
easier, but If the woodwork be pine, then
the woodwork will have to be relinished.
The living room is made the feature of
the modern home and is being subjected
to tbs same general treatment In many
Instanoes as the dining room, or even
library and hall. When there Is a parlor
the woodwork can be done In white enamel
to advantage. Many bedrooms are being
treated In similar manner.
Paper and Fnrnltnre Match.
Some attractive panel effects are being
displayed in wall papers for parlors. Some
of these panel effects are made to har
monize with the colonial style of furniture.
Soft floral designs in papcrlngs are shown
lor Marie Antoinette furnishings. These
panel effects go well with most modern
furniture. A tew small and well selected
pictures, hung low and placed close to
the wall, look well In these panels and
a llower vase on a small table adds ma
terially to the setting.
For those who Ilka the arts and crafts
furniture, there are paperlngs especially de
signed, with simple markings, the combi
nation of furniture and paper making a
happy blending. This is particularly ada.pt
lble for libraries or reception halls. Pic
torial friezes In paper for libraries, and
oriental effects for cozy corners are la the
market and the real surprise Is what pretty
and satisfying effects may be obtained in
papering and painting for ordinary modern
homes at a cost that is not really high. Of
course, the same effects carried out in the
higher class of decorations soon count up
Into hundreds and thousands. But it has
been demonstrated that the man of moder
ate means need net altogether despair for
the want of a little ai t in his home decor
ation. Special hall and stairway decorations of
a dado hanging and four panels In one
width of paper, and large and bold decora
tions for small rooms, may be had In great
variety. And there are papers showing
Spanish leather effect, some to match Louis
XVI furniture, the Adams design of me
dallion and scroll effects and many others.
The simpler styles of paper run riot In col
ors and designs. ,
Advice as to Selection.
IL H. Henurick, associate editor of Wall
Paper News, advises every woman about to
aelect wallpaper to consider her selections
from the utilitarian as well as from the his
toric and the sentimental standpoint. Del
icate woodwork and furniture, such aa birch
or maple, should have for an accompani
ment papers of a delicate character, and It
Is essential that deep-toned paper go with
dark woods, he points out in a recent art
icle on the subject. He suggests "clothy"
effects in paper for rooms having highly
polUhed woodwork, and soft antique tap
estry effects with mahogany. Strong, durable-looking
papers are recommended for
use where the wood work and furniture are
of a severe or substantial character.
"There are times when a light Japanese
paper with dark woodwork la very effective
and artletio. Thus the theory of contrast
applies In some cases and the theory of
analogy In others. The character of the
room should always be given duo consider
ation, for It Is one of ,the most Important
Influences In the proper selection of wall
coverings. In children's bedrooms the color
schemes and wall hangings should invaria
bly reflect youth and gaiety. Some of the
picture friezes which - can now be readily
obtained make excellent decorations for
rooms of this description. For a study,
where alt Is quiet and repone, ths environ
ment should be consistently sober, quiet
and dignified, both In color and design."
writes Mr. Hendrlck.
Honae Fa In tins; Ideas.
Extensive building operations In Omaha
this and last season has brought out a
large variety of ideas In outside bouse
painting. The one particular change noted
In this form of house decoration has been
the demand for trimmings. For several
yours It was the style to paint the house
with one color, this being known as the
"California style." Painters say the use
of trimmings has come back and .la now
quite general. A light body and dark
trimmings Is the combination being used
more than anything else. Cream and drab
colors are reoommended for body colors,
with a strong contrast for trimmings.
L)inlii Room Decoration.
Pictures are not used as much In dining
rooms aa they once were, the idea being
to carry out the decorative scheme in the
paper, fresco or silks or whatever the
material may be. Any pictures used are
of the very best If the other decorative
features are at all pretentious. There are
so many styles of dining room friezes
being offered In the various forms of
decorations that pictures would dull rather
than heighten the general effect. Many
of the frleses now used are works of art
In themselves and need no further embel
lishment. ,
The same general rule Is laid down in
the matter of using flowers for home
decoration. Cut flowers placed on a small
table in the right port of a living room
adds to the general tone. While more
latitude may be used In the distribution
of flowers in a home than may be used
In hanging of pictures, It has been pointed
out that it is not how many or what kind
of flowers are used, but Just how they
are placed, that counts. Judgment and
good sense, of course, should be exer
cised in the use of flowers for interior
decoration If good effect Is to be ob
tained. ,
rarela Curtains.
In the selection of curtains the thought
should be to select materials that will
soften snd yet not exclude the light. To
this end new fabrics are being offered.
Fishnet may be had for curtain use In
white, cream or offee color, snd In some
places are sold in green and red, the two
latter colors being serviceable for use as
panels In vestibule doors. White swlse
