Excerpt from The Decorative Periods

HE success of the author's pre vions work, Period Decora tion, unpretentious and ele mental as it was, has prompted the publication of this book, which delves more deeply into the subject. Decoration to be good must be consistent; to be valuable it must be historic. Results that are harmonious are those that are orderly, and the preparation of this volume aims to assist the man who would steer clear of the shoals ofanachronism. The world appreciates correctness in trivial matters. The civilized woman is not gowned with an evening waist, a tennis skirt, shooting boots and an automobile hat; and little as the theory may appeal to some minds, we venture to say that convention and propriety are the attributes necessary to any correct form of the arts decorative. In the hope that we may shed light upon the obscuri ties of the subject, we send this volume forth.
