Modern Designs in Furniture and
Ornaments.
This is the time of year when the
spirit of unrest takes possession of most
men and women, particularly in their
homes" meditatively remarked a furni-
ture dealer to a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday. ''and it is the strangest thing
to me why this desire for change of sur
roundings, Of belongings, Of everything in
fact that goes to make home attractive,
always begins to appear about the last OF
April and along the first of MAY. l pre-

fined in the house so closely during the

rather tired of the same inanimate objects

'sThey desire TO keep in fashion,, sug-
gested the reporter.
"Yes. but that's not all. 1t is that ever
lasting desire for change. We are busy
a. bees. now, and | might tell you some Of
the new designs for interior decoration
that will interest your readers. There
are many novelties in combination; plain,
natural cOlOrings have crowded the eX-
IRENE designs, and some Of the finest ef-
fects are wrought in one color. with
Illuminated bands outlining the borders.
Plain velom is used for drapery
and pOrtieres, with borders of
low tone. frightened and defined
by gold or silver thread. For
the wall space where plain draperies are
used, the tapestry designs are very effect
i've with the deep and brilliant frieze out
lined by narrow. golden bands. Linen
plush is very effective, its pliable texture
and soft rich aarface rendering it availa-
bic for all purposes where drapery is used.
Pushes of deep color bear in relief large
designs of Egyptian character and quaint
cOlOring: these goods touch up finely
low toned or dark room, and the effect is
rich in the extreme. Stamped pushes
come in broad bands for bOr-
Cters both in contrasting and har-
monizing cOlors. Soft lace draperies are
still indispensable, the madras in its soft
colOring, closely grouped characters and
delicate arrangement of color seeming to
supplement and heighten the effect of the
heavier goods with which it is combined.
In the outer shades for houses the taste
seems to run towards the neutral cOlOrs
that are employed in the room, and the
shades will generally give the keynote OF
color that rules the house. The indlvl-
dual expression that is given to every
room has become such matter OF study
that the color once determined upon can
be carried out in many rare and beautiful
designs under the guidance of skilled and
