to present to the women of Charlotte,

Williams in covering the territory be

The car Is equipped with an odometer
so that the yean keep an accurate ac

this way learn just how much they
are saving In railroad fare and buggy
hire. '
, This Is the first time in North Car
olina that an automobile has been
used as a competitor of the railroads
and the success of the vertture will
mean that a numiber of firms will
adopt the same method of transporta

A Modern Colonial House.
, Greensboro, N. C, 3-29-'07.
Will you please give me suggestions as to 'furnishing a part of
the new house I am building of gray brick, with stone foundation?
It is a modern colonial, with a ten-foot hall ruiyifng through the
centre, with ten-foot rooms on either side. The dining room is one
of the front rooms, the parlor opposite, library back of parlor, with
folding doors between; all opening' Into each other and Into the
hall except one, and have the quartered-oak beams between hall
and parlor. Shall I have th hardwood floors medium-colored
quarter-sawed oak for the entire-'. lower floor? I shall have ma
hogany furniture In the parlort but have to use my dining room fur
niture, which is quartered ok. What shall I get for my library
furniture? How about flemish or weathered oak. and what for tne
hall? How shall I paper library, parlor, hall and dining room?
What kind of shades for entir house? Also what kind of curtains
shall I get for all the windows! What kind of rugs and colors for
the first floor? Mrs. H. G. J.
The best Interior trl mfor a .colonial house Is white enameled,
which Is the most consistent sitting for old mahogany. If your
wood-work Is already selected, It will be too late to change it.
Fine quartered oak Is not the most economical foundation for paint.
Mahogany furniture can be used with an oak finish, but It does
not produce a colonial effect. If your house Is so arranged that the
parlor can have a white trim, we would advise placing your ma
hogany there. In the other rooms use furniture to match the
wood-work. Weathered oak and flemish are both pleasing. Just
now the tendency Is to lighter stains than flemish. The medlum
coloredf quartered oak of which you speak Is very attractive and
would be excellent for both trim and furniture.
A a color scheme, we would suggest In a two-toned effect for
the dining room In a deep yellow, with a lighter shade for the
hall. In a plain paper; green In the parlor, stripe or figured In a
light brown for the library; use a plain white tint for all the ceil
ings Colonial ofiicru net makes a good curtain to hang next the
g!a Shades should be uniform, too. Stone gray would be a good
color in this instance. Curtains should reach to the sill.
Yours very truly,
