With most persons, furnishing the home is a threefold study. It consists, first, in arranging one's present belongings to the best possible advantage; second, in discarding all useless and ugly objects; third, in selecting new articles that shall fit appropriately into the al- ready estabHshed home. The ability to do any one of these things comes only through patience, experiment, and a clear conception of the final effect de- sired. It is of no use to begin moving things about and buying new material until one knows what result she is after. Almost any phase of furnishing can be analyzed, pondered over, and to some extent decided on before the first move is made. And this conception of the complete home picture must be spirit- ual as well as material. Many a house containing correct furniture and deco- ration fails to become a home because of its coldness, and many a home exists in spite of atrocious furnish- ings. For home consists not merely of a roof over one's head and of ex- ternal trappings about us; it is a place where dwell peace and harmony. [1053]. Fig. 22.—A colonial doorway.
