DECORATION
Of THE ii
(Adress delivered by Mrs. Albert
Reincrt before the Skagway Parent
Teacher Association, May 12, 1916.)
Th Standard Dictionary aaya "A
Home 's a place ol abode of affec
tion, peace and rest—a congenial
abiding place.' K thiB Is true then
our tirut thought la planning a
home, even though U be but one
room is to make U a place that ap
peals to our sense of harmony; a
place where we can feel free to
carry out out individual idea of
beautv in arrangement and furnish
ings; a place where we are at our
best, and can welcome our friends
with, sincere and honest hoapdtallty.
A peaceful homey room free from
pretens?, well lighted, well ventilat
ed will make one feel ou entering,
that here will bp found sincerity
and truth. . Heiu one can, rset and
feel at peace with himself and with
the world.
To quote Mr.. Stick ley, in the
Cruftsman: "Whoever hasi toiled
for a lcxng, ho', wearisome way
'hru barren, uninteresing! country,
and come at last to a shadowy,
qulat little grove where flowers
bloomed and a cool stream gleamed,
found that his whole soul respond
ed to Its beauty, ;iis tense nerves
relaxed, his mind was refreshed
and his heart free . . some such
exuhaiiou of spifV comes to a man
who enters a simple, unpretentious
ly furnished homo after a hard, fa
11SUI114 aay 01 worn. .xue grwv ™
restful because tt la iiever preten
tious.. It la beautiful, but it is
not conscious of 'ho fact... This
simple spirit of th<j uitprotantious
beauty should as a characteristic
of ever* home. Pre tent louaaetn is
the opposite of truth so itever ac
complishes anything."
"Simplicity," s^ys Wagnur la his
Simple Life, "i3 never reksgated to
any one phase ol life—a* laborer's
life may be the most complex and
complicated of wcistenoes, while a
rich man's may be f^pe from affec
tation ami artificiality.. Simplicity
con.-lots in being one's self with no
attempt to deceive.. A beautiful
room should be uo more pretentious
than a beautiful flowerr.. It can
be humble like tne violet, sumpti
ous like the rose, elegant like the
lily, gracious like the spreading oak
tree, but in every case it must be
itself—honest with no dissembling..
There are a few fund omental rules
that must be observed in tha furn
ishing of a home. . It is better to
have every thin^ simple, depending
for value upon good line, harmony
ious color and good texture . It
is aard to realize whnt a powerful
influence color is. and when added
to good line in furnishings and a
general sense of appropriateness
any home may be made to have a
distinct individuality of its own..
The principles of art In general
are, (1) utility, (2) harmony (3)
balance, (4) rythm, (5) simplicity.
Rooms should always express
tnougnt lnamauciia.y ana a o«nu
ite piau. Have nothing. in, your
houee that does aot servo a definite
purpoFe.. ChairB and oouchcs are
to bt> used, and should not, be too
delk-ate la structure o&* upholeter
ing to be used..
Been use a thing wa cost us a
lot of money does n<>t moan that it
ha® any value, either utilitarian or
decorative.. It Is a good rule to
remember in furnishing a, room that
any uiece of furniture or -work of
art, regardless of its merit must
justify the present e by being more
valuable than the space it occupies..
If a house is crowded with, much
Curni'urti and a great many orna
ments, even though they are In
themselves beautiful, som«j on$ will
have to spend a great deal of time
and libor in, the care oX it. ©very
thing, evea. dowu to thq last eofa
pillow, should be selected with
care.. We make mistakes coostant
lq by overcrowding our houses with
worthless, uanyc&esary furinture
and ornaments.
Many a woman could Jiavq enoug
spare time ia a year to master
Shakespeare's plays if she did not
have to BP end so much time in
dusting useless bric^afcrafl and orna
mental furniture.
In furnishing a home one must
conaider the whole acheme with re
gard *o color and arrangement, aaid
the part each room must play in
relatitn to the other rooms.. The
furnishings and color iu each room
should be In harmony with all oth
er rotms. There should be a dis
tinct feature in every room The
living room with, its fire place or
well placed, well lighted library
table and conveukut chairs should
centralize the interest of the iu
I terioi and Bound the keynote of
^comfort «ad hospitality..
I la treating your rooms there Is
one rule that Is usually good, to fol
low.. Have your floors (lark, your
walla lighter and your ceiling light
est.. If^ yourr ceiling la high the
ceiling paper may he dropped 12 or
18 inches.. The picture molding,
which may he the color of the cell
ing or tho wood work, should be
placed over the Imp where the pa
pers meet.. The ordinary .wall pa
per Irftoe is bad art at tha outset,
siuoe H tends to Carken the upper
wail in ,violation of the rule that tM
upjier portion of a room should be
lightest In tone. Jf your ceiling Is
low a striped oapar may foe used
and 't will add to th« apparent
height if the siJa paper runs clear
to the ceiling. As a wall paper
serves as a background for pictures
and furniture, a plain papeu- Is bet
ter.. lu selecting a color scheme
for your room, tUe exposure should
be taiceu into consideration.. A room
that does not receive much sun
light must be treated differently
from one that does. . If rooms are
small and opeoi directly off one an
other it will add much to your
home if the wood work, carpets,
wall treatment and draperies are
all fl'ike.. Care should be takeu in
hanging draperies that light and air
is not excluded.. Here, in Skagway,
where we have such, wonderfully
beautiful scenery end such a wealth
of color it seems n pdty tQ shut off
any of the view by heavy, unin
teresting window ill aperies. Here,
therq is hardly a window in any
home that does not frame some
very interesting natural picture..
Volumns could be written on, the
color and scenery of this spot,
but it is better to Jeel the beauty
than >o talk about it. 1 am remind
ed of a story th-it is told of a tour
ist with a temperament who w:is
walking along in Wales. One
beauty titer anoUitr filled him with
more and more deliglit.. Now, it
was a castle under a wide, warm
sky, i's crumpling gray towers seen
against the purpl^ moorland, and
now it waa a lair green, valley
(stretched contentedly in th^ after
uoon sun, a lattice of silver streams
threading from it into the rose
pink mist of the southern, horizon.. I
Bursting with rapture Jie came sud
denly upon an old woman squatted
by t&e roadside.. Upoai her liis en
thusiasm overflowed in a cascade ot
words. She sat like a dumb wo-!
man under the torrent and puffed
steadily at her old black pipe.. Such
indifference was at first dampening
— -then irritating. The flow of elo
quence finally stopped and disgust
edly he said, "You don't cajre for
beauty, I see" She took the pipe|
8upioo[ XnniBO p<ut! qjnoui Jdij uiojj
af him said, "1 enjies it—1 don't
jabber." ,
Tha lighting of your rooms
should receive very careful at
tention. BeefthoYen once said
thaf "the best musical iastrument
was any instrument weil played."
This is apropos wit]i reference to
lightiug.. The Jes(. lighting fixture
is one that fits into the decorative
scheuie of your room, is placed
where it will give the best ser
vice, and is free from glare.. The
'white light" of electricity is hard
on the eyes. The bo«t color for
lighting is the color we get from
oil lamps. There is a process by
which bulbs may be treated sq as
to ootain. this 6ffect with electric
lights. Oa entering a house, we
are often conscious of a state of
lug oadly arranged. In, arranging
confusion, which, on, consideration
seems to result from things in it be
Curnitnre there should be a reason
for each piece being where it is
placed. Chairs should l>e go
placed that the/ need not be
moved.
Some one said that the tact of a
hostess is shown by her arrange
ment of chairs. Rugs should fol
low the general line of a room and
should not be thrown down at
angles.
As pictures should reflect the
owner's personal taste, the selection
of thsm should receive careful at
tention. It is much better to have
copies from the old masters rather
than originals of questionably art.
Jt is hard to estimate the influence
of a 1,0od picture. «,
T •• few pictures hung oa oul*
walls Bhould be of artistic value,
rightly framed, appropriate to the
room and suitable to the shape aaid
size of th«f wall space. It is not
good tapte to crowd the wall space,
even though the pictures arg good.
One of the many things we could
learn from th9 Japanese is that thej
display only one picture at a, time.
A frame serve3 two purposes.. It
protects, and it sets the picture
apart.
When a frame is so delicate that
it itself needs protection, it is not
good when a frame attracts more
attention than the picture it is bad
taste'. About mats—peirhaps son:<
pictures need mats, but Mr. B.
Shaw says that you can tell a man's
character by the size of the mat be
^tsea—the bigger the mat the big
ger the bluff. The hanging of
pictures will do much to make or
mar the appearance of your room.
Evopy large picture requleB a large
piece of furniture beneath It ta ol>
serve tlip law of balance. Pictures
should he hung so that the horizon
line is not mora than S or 5 Mi ft.
from tho floor, which would, JWing
it aoout on a level with the eye
when one is standing. Pictures
are usually hung too high.
If possible have no wire visible,
bu* if this cannot be helped have
the wire the s«»me color of the
background. Id Is better to hang
pictures flat against the wall than,
to tilt them.
Form and color are of great im
portance in table decoration, and
should harmoniZH with the general
plau. To overcrowd the table with
the service, decoration or food is
today considered a, matter of very
bad taste.. Here again, simplicity
shou'd be the key note. Flowiers
are no longer used in great profu
sion. A few blossoms tastefully ar
ranged Is all that is necessary. Here,
where it is impossible during a j
great portion, of the year to get
flowers, we can make use of the
materials at hand. A small branch
of evergreens or a few sprigs of
pussy willow can be arrganed to
look ctiarming. .....
if we want beauty manifested in
in «hc home it is not only; necessa/ry '
to have its furnishing aind'
arrangement beautiful, but every
member of the iamily must be
willing to contribute his share by
1/i'ingiUH into tho home, love and
kiudutis and helpfulness. Th© love
of the beautiful is really at the
bottom of all true progress. It is
some'hiaig outside our selves and
lures us on to the Improvement of
character—so the more we iiave 01
it in our homes the better for us.
It is a very common fault to re
gard beauty as a, form of pleasure
only—forgetting the influence it
has on tharac'er and disposition.
Thtre can be no true beauty in. the
home unless there is peace a<nd
unity and a willingness to give the
best that is in ourselves. - What is
the use of spendjne money and en
ergy on beautifying onge liome if
we are not all willing to bring to
it a beautiful, generous, hospitable
character?
The finest tribute that cam be
paid one is to have a home to which
your family loves to 'return at even
ing—a place where your friends
love to drop in for a visit and a
quiet hour—and to carry away the
reniert'i-iuice that in, your .home at
least, no uukiud criticisms have
been made, and the shortcomings
of neighbors have not bsen discuss
ed. The finest impression of all
to carry away is that of the home
maker, whose voice is soft, gentle
and low—an excellent thing in, wo
man. A gracious presence, and a
cheerful, well modulated voice
uave more power to create beauty i^
a home than all the luxuries that
money c&a buy. I will conclude aa
1 beg-iu, with a. quotation from the
Crafts man:
La. F.u-f-e, the artist says that in
every great artist there is a humble
workman who knows his trade and
loves -t . This cannot be gainsaid,
for hf.w would it be possible for a
man to produce great things with*
out I lib love mat arings wis-1
(lom nad u technical skill that is
gained cnly by years of devotion, to
that which he lovta? It takes the
whole nature of a, msjn to
create ciiything above mediocrity.
Love of th© work laps swiftly far
ward into freesh fields of imagina
tion while the miu-l and liand labor
steadily after to make permanent
that which, love kaa discovered.. In
every xeal home maker is the ar
tlist's power to visualize a, perfect
ly appointed home and th$ Jiiuuble
work out the detail that would be
workman's willingness patiently t
troublesome enough, without love of
the. work. To> select the proper fur
niture, draperies, rugs, and all the
manifold little things that go to
mike up a livable lovable home
includes knowledge of materials
gi'.ined only by study and experience
and a sense of fitness and an in
ner feeling of beauty.
If women approached home mak
ing as an artist does fcJs work we
would have more suitable, lovely
homw to leave as a valued legacy."
