To those who have had the priv , liege of listening to both of the loc tures already given by Mrs. Burton Smith In her series of talks on home economics at Elizabeth College, the n topic of yesterday proved ; still , more Interesting than that of Monday;' for while the theme of domestic archi tecture, makes its appeal particularly to the limited class of home builders, k the discussion, of Interior decorations y , uu lurnisnmg is quo 01 mi wiucai in. leoear, ponceriMug more , nenriy , ino 'eraga woman. . 't .:'".' With ! a ' cursory ' reference to the centres' of civilization in thu world s history, Egypt, Greece and Moroe in classic times, the Middle Ages among Germanic: peoples, Mrs, Burton Smith began her afternoon's discourse by tracing the evolution of the furnish Ings of the modern house through the various stages of their development In th countries referred to. In this process she distinguished the different aims in the Northern and Southern countries; while in-the warm South beauty was the ulterior purpose, in the colder North 'utility and comfort beoame the guiding principle. - Most Interesting , was Mrs. Burton ; Smith's description of the evolutions of the table, , bed, bureau,' stool and chair of the - sturdy; North- Germans from their own rude stone benches. In the Middle ' Ages, however, beauty began to gain a foot hold with the intro duction of tapestries, even though the real object of these, to cut oft the draught of the large banquetlng halls,was a material one. - Next of the distinct periods' lUus. tratlng the growth of aste among our immediae ancestors came the renais sance. The re-birth of the classic spirit, which tempered the harsh se verity of the Middle Ages. Here one step of advance was made In the mak ing of movable furniture. This came about from the scarcity and expen siveness , of furniture then, with the natural, result of Its being transferred, from tho castle to the country home of Its owner. The climax of the re naissance in France was reached In the time of Louis XIV, when the clas sic lines of Greece and Rome were followed throughout air fields of art It was here that the convenience of the modern arm chair was recognis ed. In the succeeding reign, that of Louis XV, the renaissnce spirit is carried beyond bounds in its excesses, and we find the furnture of the time over-decorated. A reaction from this flamboyant style is seen, however, in the reverting to classic simplicity in the regn of Lous XVI. Meantime this fluctuation In French modes or art was not without Its eTTect upon English furniture and in our own colonial period we see the Introduction of Sheraton and Chippen dale furniture into this country by the jurneyman cabinet-maker. At this time furniture was frequently built into the house. But after the war of 1812 imitation of Empire furn iture became the predominant fancy In America, and it Is noteworthy that while in Europe the quality of gro tesqueness crept in, American cabinet makers selected only the beautiful features. Turning to the Individual house of the average home-seeker, the matter of furnishing the house must be close ly related with that of planning its architecture. Consistency of beauty must be sought for, the production of a general tone. Tet a "period house" is dangerous to plan, especial ly her'e in the South, without the most affluent means; while the composite house ; is bad. The . colonial style Is always beautiful and can be carried out consistently. The essentially modern type of furnishing is also not without Its beauty. A combination of these two is possible with modern furnishings on the ground floor and a colonial bedroom above, wher no clash In styles is possible. In such ways Is the value of knowing stan dards of the beautiful seen. Again, decoration must be adapted to the general architecture of the house. The dwelling must be thought of as a Tinlt, and the furnishings must be consistent with the essentials of a room Its windows, doors, fire place, ceiling and walla Here Mrs. Burton Smith made the constructive features of the room her first consid eration and she entered somewhat Into detail in outlining important princi ples. Among other things she em phasised the wonderful decoration possibilities of doors and windows, of locks and hinges and the function of the mantel to serve as a frame for the fireplace. She gave cautions against the over-emphasis of Insignificant features, and the suppression of the significant Coming to floors, wall-space and ceilings she dealt upon the need of the competent use of color here, the harmonizing tones, the avoidance of strong contrast. This study of color assumes a three-fod aspect, color In its relation to light, color In gradation and Color In mass. In the first, the exposure of a room determines Its color,' sunny apartments requiring cool tones and vice versa. in any consideration of the second, the floor should be the basis of the room In color,, the darker tints being near the floor. and becoming gradually lighter towards the celling. Under the third head .would come the treatment of wall spaces, the avoidance. of bright contrasts. In closing Mrs. Burton Smith de fined taste as the true application of beauty and she summarised her re marks by stating as the three funda mental requlremtnes of tasteful decor ttons and furnishings that they should be well made, of good material, that this material should stand for Itself and should be appropriate to Its sur roundings. Both decorations and fur nishings should be lit for the use for which they were intended and 'should how thia use In'thetr form and con struction, in their material and orna mentation: The watchword should be elimination elimination of all that does not conduoe to this end. Numerous illustrations of photo graphs of, various styles of furniture according 10 'periods and color y.'achemes in wall papers and draperies mm win uwuuun laia ma more graphic to Mrs. Smith's hearers. . A retltlon to Reconsider. Considerable Interest was excited yesterday by the circulation of the following petition: , To The Board of Aldermen of the City of Charlotte: V , "we, the undersigned cltlsens of Charlotte, respectfully request you to reconsider your action heretofore taken by your body In fixing the lim its of the new city, and we. respect fully request you to fix said limits at two mile In all directions from In dependence Square." ;,;' .

Poor digestion,! stomach troubles, weak kidneys, torpid liver, and a general inactive condi-i tion of the system leaves the refuse and waste matter, which should be carried off, to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. When the blood is ia this acid-charged condition, it deposits the poisons and irritating particles with which it is loaded in the muscles, nerves, joints and bones. " Then Rheumatism gets possession of the system, and life is made miserable by its pains, aches and discomforts. The changing ; of the weather, exposure to cold and dampness, etc., always increase the; trouble, and so severe does the pain become that quick relief must bt ' had.
