'C53'fb3 Cf55'5b3Q5Q55XQ67Q35'fER that some people awake every morning to End it dark r, and cheerless7 There are some people who live in -' pf rooms whose furniture is colorless. There are others ' 'five ' ..,rg! whose rooms are so overdressed and colored that- well, they just look like a crazy quilt. Color in regard to one's environf ment is a wonderful study. Let us consider for a moment the Spanish and their home decorations. They use massive furniture so beautifully carved that it was graceful beyond doubt. Heavy woodwork, beamed ceilings, gay floorfcoverings and an absolutely unblemished white wall. The whole effect was both astounding and subduing. Can t you see how a fieryftempered Spaniard would react to such a setting? Let us take the French at the time of Louis XIV, gay, pleasure-loving people who chose the grays, blues and rose shades, because they had to esta lish an equilibrium. The exotic person, as the Oriental, naturally uses the black and the darin colors. The early Italians carried out the same idea of simplicity, as dir? the Spaniards, but to a more marked degree. Their p1ainness was depressing. Undecorated walls, ceilings, and floors, and smallfsized furniture contributed to this gloomy atmosphere. Let us come a little nearer home, to the English with the grand old manor houses. From the earliest times Englishmen were sportsmen and this is revealed in their houses. The spacious rooms with heavy carved oak furniture, huge fire lace with blazing logs and reat windows are charadteristic of the English. These houses were buii and furnished on a lar e scale yet find a more comfortable home you could not. Do you see time color in this icture? You wouldn't if there were great bare rooms, but the beautifiil luster of the oak, the old tapestry han ings on the walls, the burning logs, and the glowing embers in the fireplace, the bowls of ay colored flowers, and last but not least, the windows with the sunlight, greatest color of all, streaming through. Thus we see what an im ortant part color plays in our lives. We are told by chromo athic healers that blue is a powerful nerve sedative, and that orange andp the other warm colors create enthusiasm and interest. So it is with this in mind, together with the temperament of the person who is going to occupy it, that we ought to furnish the home. See to it that when you awake on that gloomy rainy morning bits of gay color will greet you and make you happy the rest of the day.

L ,A 3- X., the time, these occurrences seeme tragedy itself, but rj fl Jil til 17, 7135251 now, as we gaze back from the end of the road, they ' - appear as humor in its highest form. For example there was Marion, who, weary and downfhearted after a day's fruitless work, entered a wellfknown surgical appliance concern, and looking meekly up into the face of a tall, overpowering individual, said,, We thought you might give us an 'Ad' , only to receive the brusf que reply, Oh, you did, did you? That's what you get for thinking. Then Virginia, who in her great desire to do something to merit success, resolved upon a sacrifice. With twenty cents as the sum total of her wealth, and half of it to o for homeward carfare, she heroically waved away visions of a cool regeshing ice cream soda and presented a poor beggar with a nickel. Mary Whitehead and Ruth Bosken had their adventure also! After a series of refusals they happened to pass a truck of empty barrels and whist!-their luck changed. At every stopping place thereafter they received the objedt of their quest. Will Gertrude ever forget the struggle she had to suppress her giggles when the president of one of our business colleges insisted upon showing her through his school, explaining the various departments in terms of such dimension that poor Gertie thought he was speaking Greek. Then, there was the miniature sand storm blowing from an alley which en' veloped and almost choked our three Musketeers , Clare, Gertrude, and Marion, as, weary and footsore, they painfully wended their home' ward way. Such tragic humor! We also number among us the usual, or shall I say unusual fortunate adfseekers . To hear the accounts of Elsie and Julia one feels that every business man they encountered greeted them with open arms and let fall a shower of silver dollars. We feel sure that the majority of their patrons offered to take two or three page ads. Of course, most of their success was due to their unusual courage. Who but our smiling Julia would be daring enough to walk through the portals of the biggea bank in the city, ask for the president, whom she had never seen, beam' l421
