Some Simple Rules to“ Make
Your Home More Attractive
Beware of Antiques—Many Are Frauds
[1" JAMES Bl.AC\'EI/l‘.
The history of furniture is the
history of civilisation. The house-
hold articles with which man has
surrounded himself through the
ages have reflected his {safe and his
interests at each period of his prog-
resa.
It will always be possible to judge
a household by the furniture it
gathers around it. Not only because
impeccable taste will reflect credit
on the home maker, but also be-
cause it materially adds to the en-
Joyment of the home. is it neces-
sary for the mistress of the house-
hold to study furniture before she
makes her choice.
Architectural line. is fundament-
ally important in furniture. Wher-
ever possibie. it must follow to some
extent the architectural type of the
house itself. and the structure of
the room. Harmony of line and
color and scale is far more impor-
tant than a strict adherence to
“periods."
Know Your History.
However. it is best to learn Homt‘e
thing about the historic periods in
furniture before you begin to coni-
bine them. The marks which dis-
tinguish periods may be seen in ".he
shape of the backs and legs of
chairs and tables. in the ornamen-
tal detail. in the carving and metal
accessories. and in the upholstcrlng
and wood.
We know that before the. Renais-
sance there was no upholstery. and
furniture was massive and crude
and somewhat uncomfortable. Later,
cane seats and backs and ornao
mental carving were introduced in
.._>
an effort toward luxury and beauty.
With Louis XIII. \‘elvets and tap-
estries and damasks came. into use
for upholstery chairs and couches
and for beds. Each successive
period is an increasing feeling for
beauty and comfort in household
goods.
After gaining a general knowledge
of periods and tradition. the borne
maker needs a few practical hints
on The choice of individual pieces.
First of all. there is the question
of woods. Oak. cherry and cypress
came into use in Elizabethan and
Jacobean times: walnut, beech and
holly were first extensively used he-
twcc-n 1660 and 1700; the early
American woods were pine. oak.
walnut and elm. until 1820. when
maple and mahogany from San
Domingo u-crc added to the list.

Many women ask: “May we use
tscvcrul woods in the same room?"
Here again. 1 must plead for var-
iety. rather than monotony. Blend-
cd with core, several different
woods give far more charm to a
room than a "set" of my one ma-
tcrial. Walnut is successfully com-
bined with the duller colors of mu-
hogany. with cherry. and even with
certain shades of maple.
styles and materials must be
blended intelligently, according to a
knowledge of history and of art.
Thus. you will not hesitate to use
a Chinese lacquered cabinet in a
Queen Anne room. if you know that
the Queen Anne period actually in-
troduced Chinese furnishings into
Ingland and Holland. as a result of
the opening of the great Oriental
trade routes.
Lacquer may be adapted to many
types of rooms. because its rich
color and design add piquancy and
variety. without interfering with the
general scheme.
"Sets" of furniture have. happily.
gone the way of many convention-
al. ugly things. Even dining rooms
are being furnished with miscella-
neous pieces. and are bencflttlng
greatly by the innovation.
The arrangement of furniture is
almost as important as its selec-
tion. The decorator must first draw
a sketch. to scale, of the room he
is working on. Then he must mark
the large spaces and decide what
heavy pieces shall go into them.
The smaller pieces then can be
grouped more easily.
Observe the principles of balance
in plotting your floor and wall
space. Do not overload one side
of the room with heavy pieces. leav-
ing the other side almost empty.
l‘lace large articles of furniture in
relation to the architectural lines of
the room. For example, in a long.
narrow room. place. your dnvcnpor‘.
along the long side of the room.
rather than crosswise in the center.
where it would cut the room in
two. 0! course. if the room is very
large. .or almost square. this cross-
whc placing would be correct.
Antiques? Be Careful.
A heavy davenport placed against
the shorter wall is liable to over-
balanco the other end of the room.
And now about, antiques.” Do not
fall into the snares that unscrupu-
lous dealers are setting daily for
American buyers everywhere. ile-
mcmiicr that only a fraction of the
"antique." sold in America deserve
‘he name. and that it takes an ex-
pcrt to distinguish the real from the
spurious.
Good reproductions. however. are
to he desired. in fact. I consider a
good reproduction for superior to an
original. unless the original is in a
state of exceptionally good prescr-
vution. or is a family heirloom. in
which latter case, of course. its acn-
timental value is incalculublc.
Delaware Laws
Draw Thousands
Of lncorporators
DOVER. Del. (Am-Attractcd to
this state by one of the most liberal
acnerul incorporation laws found in
the Union. between 65.000 and 70.-
000 corporations throughout the na-
tion today are doing business under
Delaware charters.
The features of the law which has
made the state a Mecca to incorpor-
ators are few. but compelling. it is
may to comply with. it is speedy
in operation. And it restricts the
state's interest in, and supervision
over, its charter holders to the ap-
purent minimum compatible with
the protection of stockholders.
Liberal Features Attract
Financially. Delaware requires an
organization fee often cents per Si.-
000 for the first 32.000.000 of hu-
thorized capitalization. und flvcccnts
per $1.000 thereafter. l'pon issues
of no-par stack an arbitrary~\'uluo
of $100 per share is set. for the pur-
pose of taxation only. liecause of
this latter provision. the total cor-
porate value of Delaware charicrs is
undeterminnble.
The annual tax also is lcvicd on
the basis of authorized capitaliza-
tion. Simple annual reports are nec-
canary. but they do not rcquirc dis-
closure of the corporation's financial
itil’airs. Of all the company's books
and records. only an original or
duplicate stock ledger must be kcpt
in Delaware. lit-re, except for pro-
visions safeguarding stockholders,
lite state‘s interest ceases.
Stal‘k Not 'l‘rtxctl
Stock held by non-residents is not
taxed, nor is it subject to an inheri-
tance low. The corporation itself
has no income tax to pay.

Gordon Gilkcy of Springfield. at the
public assembly hour of the Hurt-
iord b‘eminury foundation Tuesday
afternoon. lit,- said that on on aver-
age the minister received as good an
income as the average of the mem-
bers of his parish and that the idea
that the minister lives below the
poverty line is one of the "miscon-
ceptions" which many have concern-
ing the ministry.
Dr. Gilkcy spoke on "The'hiost
Misunderstood Profession." and stat.-
ui that among the misconception
prevailing were those which held
that ministers are "lazy. weak and
of second rate intelligence." that the
minister must preach ideas in public
which he knows privately not to be
true. that he is coerced by leaders in
his congregation and that he must
live on a starvation wage. All of
thi-si- tiwil ‘nw were characterized as
“sill‘ and are the stock
