A manual of home-making

Instead of describing in great detail the very expensive furniture and rugs which can be purchased only by the few, the autlior dwells rather upon the general priodplcs which apply in all cases and treats specifically of such furnishings as are suitable in the homes of people of mod- erate means. Among the topics included are walls and ceilings, windows, floors, rugs and carpets, furniture, fire- places^ lamps, and lighting fixtures. A chapter on cabinet woods is a special feature. The material is organized in such a manner as to make it useful both as a text-book and as a practical guide in the furnishing of a home. The book is fully illustrated and shows in an unusually practical manner how the rules of art may be applied in the decora* tion and furnishing of ail homes.
