The progressive spirit of the new century and the rapid artistic development throughout our country have awak- ened a widespread, intelligent interest in all matters relating to the Art of the House. The interior of the home is naturally a re- flection of its occupants, and the possibility of achieving satisfying results has created an ar- dent desire for adequate knowledge. Even in homes of moderate cost an effort to unite beauty and utility has become remarkably apparent, and, fortunately, artistic surroundings arc not dependent on large outlays of money.
