Excerpt from Our Homes, and How to Beautify Them T is the way with some authors, when they desire to believe they have written a useful book, to say in the preface that it supplies a long-felt want. I should be glad if I could console myself with a similar pious fraud. But to advance such a plea, having regard to the large number of books which have been printed about furniture and the decoration of the house, would be to court sarcastic comment. For truly the name of such books is already legion. To begin with, there are the Histories of Furniture from the earliest periods to the present time profound, and occasionally interesting, compilations. Then there are the Books of Designs issued by furniture makers like Chippendale, Sheraton and Ince - forerunners of the modern Furniture Catalogue. Then there are the great number of pamphlets, treatises, and brochures written on the subject of Art in the Home, in which ladies with a pretty taste dogmatise in the nicest afternoon-tea manner on how to make artistic lamp-shades, paint door - panels, and beautify a drawing room with aesthetic remnants at I/rr% a yard.

There is no escape from it, when a human habita tion comes under discussion, - whether this habita tion take the form of a palace, a barrack, or a c& whether whole houses are to be consecrated to the use of Single. Families, or whole families are to be housed on a single floor; whether the home is to be a tenement, a studio - building, a hut in the wil derness, or cottage in a country town; whether it is to be in a hot climate or a cold one; whether its owners are rich or poor, important or obscure, Sin gle or married. To make the home successful, we must know the needs of those who are to dwell in it, their circumstances, and the relation they bear to the community in which they live. To put it briefly, these requirements are not only individual but communal. They are distinct in each instance, yet certain universal laws govern them all. A man's duties to himself must guide him on one side; his obligations to his neighbor, on the other. These he must balance.
