lapsed premiums. V9 on a Sla.OciO policy,
and $n9 on a SIO.OOO policy, and asked that

It is not possible to have luxury in every home, but it is possible to have har
mony there. Combined with the furniture of distinction and character, tasty surround
ings contribute an atmosphere which ninkes home a pleasant place, whether it be a mansion, cottage or flat. But daintiness, cheerful
ness and charm are only perfected through restful rugs, soft, flowing curtains and exquisite portieres. To be satisfied with home, first
of all it is required that the furniture be potent in lending cheer and comfort. But after the rooms are made restful with distinctive
furniture, then thought must be given to other surroundings. It is necessary to have softly-toned Oriental or delicately colored do
mestic rugs clinging to one's steps. Jn either case the grays, blues ,rose aud other shades must blend imperceptibly into one another.
For ideal harmony the windows must be veiled with creamy lace or simple net curtains. Unobtrusive and graceful portieres must liau
gently from the walls. .All materials u:ed for an ideal home are abtainable at our store, and during the January Green Seal of Quality
sale they can be procured at very low prices, which in some instances are practically at cost.
