referrlnc to those thrown off by mirrors mirrors serve as allies to buy a decorative scheme tbey save certain portions of an interior from obscurity and may be used to balance color values take for instance the room m which the windows axe in one wau colorful draperies may used and if so in what way can the opposite wall be equipped so is rot to be overbalanced a wall hanging may be used but where the window draperies are of dominant hues a wall hanging which will blend with them will not be easy w und fur nituro may bo ranged against tho wall but if it is heavy enough in color value to equalize tho two walls it is probably too heavy for beauty tho solution to the problem lies in the use of a mirror one hung opposite a window will reflect tho draperies and bring into that portion of the room the necessary color it may also reflect a bit of theoutbide world as seen through the window end this wfll havo a tendency to make the room appear larger mir rors when placed wisely provide
