1T is surprising how much a little
money and good taste can do to make
the simplest room attractive. NY
friend, Jennie Lunt, had just married
and gone to housekeeping AS she
had not a great deal of money to fur
nish her house With she was disposed
to make what she had go as far as pos
sible in producing happy results, and
she has succeeded admirably. To-day
she took me through her chambers,
and they are very pretty. Her own is
curtained with cottage stuff. the cor
nices made of three deep scallops of
pink cambria covered with white, with
bows of ribbon at the points where the
scallops meet. A strip of the cambria
finger length IN width is basted on
the inside edge of the two cur
tains, and they are looped up on
each side Of the window with pink
ribbon. Close to the ceiling over the
bureau is fastened a semi-circular
shelf, upon which are tackled two
widths of cottage stuff lined with pink

reau, and draping very prettily the
mirror behind them. An oblone table
Is covered and draped in similar man
ner. The coverlld has pink border,
and the rugs at the bureau and bedside
correspond in tint. With ordinary care
the white drapery needs washing but
once a season, and the pink will last a
long time. In covering the scallops
for the cornice aud table the white
should be held quite full over the pink.
Another chamber has trimmings of

naments in the room harmonize with
each other. Mating Of the best quail
