A room of flat, painted walls and ceiling frequently can be snapped up, brought inta style and "tied ta- gether"' or unified, with a wisely selected border strip.. These. strips are praduced by the nianufacturers ofwall paper and are generally used in conjunction with that material. There are, literally hùudreds of styles and designs, frani which ta select, so- that any effeet, any period treatment May. be produced.

HAVE TWIN SONS 14r. and Mrs. Walter T. .ermùing-' ham of Evanston are parents ai twin sons who were born July 31, at the Michael 1Reese haspital. They have named the babies Walter Parnell, II, and îno&enh Arthur. The mother ai M any older residences have small dining and living rooms and an unnec- essarily large entrance hall Neither of the roorni hasadequate space for, a pleasing1 furniture arrangement, n tbe hall has so many doors leading into the variaus ra omsthat'ittan seldom hold even a smnall table..lu many cases the light and air which would enter the space occupied by these -rooins, if theyý were thrown together as a unit, is minimized by the poor plan ai walls and doors. The removal ai the partitions sepa- rating the, three ýportions ai this sectian ai the home creates a larger space. which mnay be properly lighted and veâtilated. The aid dining-roomn furni- turc may be replaced by an attractive .built-intable which folds against the ,wall when nat in use. The wall wbicb is nearest the dining space may ha ve a series of open shelves *and the place- ment of gay colored dishes ta make an interesting pattern.' The entrance door may bc screened by a falding screen, harmnonizing. with the wall colors, or a simple solid calar curtain arranged ta slide irom the ceiling in a semicircle about the door. New windows, con-, centrated along anc wall, and law win- dow seats below theni, bookcases above a couch along a salid section ai the wall, a buiît-in radia cabinet barmoniz- ing with the design ai the baok and dish shelves, and many other conveni- ent and attractive additions may bc made. In this way the home awner may create a large pleasant roozu, better fitted for entertainnient and far more usable for daily lufe.

In announcing the re-apening ai the mnortgage boan departmnent ai his bus- iness, W. R. Mitchell, 100 N. La Salle street, Chicago, states that there is now an abundance ai money available for canservative, bans*oný well situa- ted and improved properties., Evidently profiting, by past experi- ence, investmnent departmnents af in- surance companies are staying closely withithe m zargi of safety. This is an advantage for the barrower as well as for the lender, as it requires bun to consider bis own safety against the day when adversity may caîl again, Mr. Mitchell states. îý "Insurance money is available ini al- most a ny amaunt on a basis of 50 per cent of today's values," he continues, "Provided, ai course, there i sosnie proper ratio between land and im- provements, and, what is stili more im- portant, an earning ability either ai the property or the owner. "The graduaI advent 'af buyers af realeéstate is a most encouraging sign, but it-would be ioolish ta think that we are campletely 'out of the waods.' "There is no doubt that money was very thoroughly scared, but it must nat be forgotten that the borrowers were also thoroughly scared, and there can be no real, circulation. of money until the borrower regains. confidence in bis ability ta repay bis borrowings.
