About Your Home
There are many beautiful paint
ings ? original* ? by good you Of
artists that aell for one hundred
to three hundred dotlara. To be
beautiful, attractive, in food taste
for your home a paiating need not
coat a fabulous amount. Reproduc
tiona are fine things to have, alao.
They will add a colorful decora
live note to any room:
Do not shy away from a repro
duction of | food pa inline any
moru than you would shy away
from owning a reproduction of a
fine antiqiie.
It la never wise to choose i pic
ture, for a particular spot in your
home without trying it there Irat.
Even the swankiest galleries will
gladly send several pictures to a
prospective buyer's home and let
him try them for effect. Thia same
courtesy rule applies to reliable
art atores, department stores, and
furniture atorea.
Many artists wil bring their pic
tures to your home and help you
chooae the one which looks the
best. There are many galleries and
artists who will let you pay as lit
tle as tan dollars a month toward
the coat of a picture.
It ia a funny thing that people
will buy a fur coat and feel they
must have only a silver mink, but
feel that, since they can't afford
an old masterpiece, they will set
tle for a cheap print with about as
?inch charm as a faded window
shade. Don't fall into thia trap.
You can have a beautiful plc;
ture for your home at a reasonable
price. Choose what you can afford
by all means. This may be a good
copy of an original. If you choose
it with care, making sure it is just
right for you and your home, it
can give you endless pleasure.
