CHOICE SUMMER READING
' -
By E. R. LIPSETT. With Eight Full-page Illustrations in Two Colors by
Joseph Damon. This story concerns a young Irish girl and her parents who left
the “ old country ” to make a new home for themselves in America. Their impres-
sions of New York make very entertaining reading. The comic situations are de-
scribed in the inmiiable manner of an Irishmanand the occasional touches of pathos
are very genuine and sincere. Decorated cloth. $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents.
TherOfiESToniherilLL
By EDEN PHILLPOTTS, author of “The Beacon,” etc. A story of a woman’s
self-sacrifice and the great life lesson which the forest taught her. The magic
word painting, the racy humor, the skill in characterization which are shown in all
Mr. Phillpotts’s writings are here more marked than ever, and his favorite local-
ity—Dartmoor—;is presented to the reader in even more attractive guise than
heretofore. Decorated cloth, $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents.
TNE zWFOND
By CHARLES MARRIOTT, author of “Now,” “The Intruding Angel,” etc.
“Dewpond” expresses the quality of youth, and the heroine of Mr. Marriott’s new
novel is the very embodiment of youth, even though married, a mother, and
twenty-eight years old. The story shows remarkably keen observation on the
part of the author, and treats of the ever-interesting subject, a mismated couple.
Decorated cloth, $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents.
TheGIILDREN of ALSACE
By RENE BAZIN, author of '‘The Nun,” “Redemption,” etc. A story of Alsace
full of this famous author’s penetrative charm. It is of Alsace conquered, of those
who remain loyal to France and those who compromise with the victors. The story
is full of interest and excitement, and has the added charm of historical accuracy.
Decorated cloth, $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents
MANALIVE
By GILBERT K. CHESTERTON, author of “The Innocence of-Father Brown,”
etc. A fanciful and altogether delightful tale of the doings of Innocent Smith,
who reminds himself by every possible shock to the intellect that he is a man
alive, walking on two legs. The story is replete with Chestertonian wit and humor
and is a joy throughout. Frontispiece and jacket illustration by WILL
FOSTER. Decorated cloth, $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents.
TheStt OWofi m
By PAUL BERTRAM. A romance of the days when the King of Alva held the
Netherlands fast in his iron grasp and the power of king and church cast its
shadow over the land. There was no hope of progress and the most enlightened
could only smile grimly, skeptically, upon the errors of the age. Such also was the
man whose story is here told; proud, daring, ruthless, like all the lieutenants of the
great Duke—yet lifted by his education above the blind fanaticism of his time,
seeking truth and freedom. Decorated cloth, $1.25 net. Postage, 12 cents.
THE LURE
By E. S. STEVENS, author of “The Veil.” The lure of adventure, the lure of
a strong and unscrupulous personality and the lure of the Dark Continent play
their parts in this story. Anne, the woman of the book, comes under the in-
fluence of all three, to learn at the last that they have only enchained her imagi-
nation and not her heart. Decorated cloth, $1.30 net. Postage, 12 cents.

sion” style is shown at its best here, both
in furniture, woodwork and quaint sten-
ciled decorations. A “Mission” scheme,
owing to its extreme simplicity in other
respects, is a complete failure unless ex-
actly right in the manner of its staining,
both in color and finish. Here, however,
you will see it done as it should be done—
a perfect criterion for the happiest selec-
tion of rugs, draperies and other decorative
accessories, and for the best finishes for
ceilings, walls, woodwork and floors.
The next room is a model kitchen, at-
tractively simple, practical and sanitary
and illustrative of the truth that it is well
to use as great taste and discrimination in
the selection of paints for the kitchen or
bathroom as for the living-room or library.
Lastly, there is a dainty and delicate
bedroom, illustrating the charming effect
of flat tone white enamel, applied to wood-
work and furniture. By way of supple-
menting the great assistance rendered by
these rooms there is also a gallery devoted
to the display of a large collection of
panels, assembled in combinations suitable
for every kind of exterior and interior
decoration. These panels are arranged in
the form of typical elevations of a room,
from floor to ceiling.
When all is said and done, the evolution
of this model home is only the culmination
of a policy pursued by this company since
its foundation—a policy which is, perhaps,
unique among commercial paint dealers.
When a set of blue prints, photographs
or sketches is received it is acknowledged,
recorded and passed on to an experienced
decorator, who makes a careful study of
the requirements, of the style, lighting and
so forth, of each room. He then prepares
specifications, in conference with his col-
leagues, and the operation is passed on to
the “assembling” studios, where the vari-
ous sections comprising wall, woodwork,
ceiling, etc., are made up. These are
made from sheets of heavy paper, finished
with the actual materials specified, and
executed to show as closely as possible the
rough or smooth plaster of the wall. The
elevations are then mounted and sample
fabrics for curtains, etc., are attached to
each suggestion, so that the color scheme
is complete. When this is done the
sketches go to the studio, where skilled
artists touch in the specified stencil de-
signs, after which the finished sketches and
specifications are approved by the deco-
rator in charge of the work, before being
dispatched. In the letter which accom-
panies them the general plan of decoration
is explained, full details given and, where
requested, the style of rugs and furniture
suggested.
It may readily be seen from this method
that nothing is left to chance and between
the decorating department and the display
in the model cottage the prospective deco-
rator, whether professional or amateur,
cannot but find a complete crystallization
of such ideas as he may have previously
entertained vaguely in his mind.
The Milwaukee Art Society recently
closed an unusually successful season with
an exhibition of paintings by the marine
and landscape artist, Thomas Shrewsbury
Parkhurst, and by L. Emerson Van Gor-
der. Both of these artists have exhibited
pictures in the National Academy in New
York and abroad. Mr. Parkhurst came
from Toledo for the event.
