Excerpt from The Art of the House Should the inspiration of the moment dietate to you a command for walls light in colour, you must not, having once put your hand to the plough, entertain any idea Of looking back. That would be to ruin all. A fastidious chastity of form and site must be the order Of the day; your pieces of furniture, very refined, very fit, and very few, are to be disposed here and there after anxious premeditation and earnest thought. They must correspond in their design with the spirit Of the wall-papers, or the panelling, and be placed just there (and in no other position than that) where they will tell the most effeetively as patches of a darker tone; or you may choose to set the whole - walls, chairs, tables, and all - in a high key; only remembering that if this be done you must keep just as tight a rein over your fancy as though the plenishing were Of dark wood. A severe elegance scrupulously maintained and con Sistently carried out in every particular, is the main characteristic of this method; the colour Chord, limited though it be, will have an austere sweetness that falls in well with some tempera ments, but a jarring note were disastrous.

Excerpt from A Course in Household Arts, Vol. 1 A course IN household arts was prepared in 1902 for the Boston Public Schools of Cookery, and its use in that city was continued up to the time a revised edition of the book was contemplated. The lessons were planned with reference to the requirements of the different grades, no less than with due regard for the wide variation in the number and length Of periods devoted to the work. At the same time the material was so arranged that the essentials of the course could be covered in two years - the minimum of time recommended by the Board of Supervisors. This purpose was accomplished by dividing the course into two parts, Series A and B, each containing material for one lesson a week for a year, and each card including a sufficient number Of recipes illustrating the principles involved to admit variation to suit differing circumstances and conditions. Allow ance was made for needful drill in preliminary work and for the care and storage of materials and utensils customary at the close of the year.

Excerpt from Art and Economy in Home Decoration This volume is intended as a practical assistance to those of moderate incomes. It is undeniable that there exists in almost every one a sense of color value. This may be subconscious, and yet it is so much a factor in our daily lives that I have chosen color as the groundwork of my effort to point the way toward the successful decoration of the home.

Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Excerpt from Household Elegancies: Suggestions in Household Art and Tasteful Home Decorations One method is to cover with bobinet, or tarlatan, not fine, but of even texture. If the glass is desired with a figured surface, procure figured net, or in lieu of this, work the material with a pattern, in fine embroidery cotton, run through the meshes. This will be found a pretty mode of adorning windows, or forming lamp shades, lanterns, etc., as will be hereafter explained.

Excerpt from Art in Dress: With Notes on Home Decoration To secure the best results in the use of these notes a copy should be in the hands of each student. The pamphlet is, in fact, a textbook on art as applied to dress and home decoration. The fundamental purpose in the study of art principles in connection with dress and home decoration is to create a desire in the minds of the students for beauty in those things which surround them in every-day life. To obtain this harmony and beauty in the ordinary things of life, one must understand the basic principles of good color and line. Few realize that every time we combine two 'colors or two lines we create a design whether we desire to do so or not, and the result is good or bad according to the knowledge or instinct that is guiding the hand of the worker. A girl's selection of a hat or a gown evidences her feeling, or lack of feeling, in design. It is therefore greatly to be desired that she should have a guiding principle, rather than to follow in blind obedience the erratic fashions of the day.

Excerpt from Art in the House: Historical, Critical, and sthetical Studies on the Decoration and Urnishing of the Dwelling The description which we have given of Egyptian houses in general applies also to palaces, whose plan was identical, though on a far grander scale. Approached, like temples, through avenues of human or ram headed sphinxes, they con sisted of a series of courts surrounded by colonnades, to which pylons of colossal proportions gave entrance, and of many small chambers occupied by the king, his wives and children, and the officers of his household with their attendants. There were also several sanctuaries dedicated to as many divinities, where the king, who was deified during life, worshipped his own image as well as the images of his ancestors, and took part in other sacred rites.
