The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-06-29

Richards eyes / feel obliged to find spsee
somewhere 10 say that Richard is a Wall
street broker, but that / believe he is ap-
preciative.
These summer parlors do not run to
screens, but TO cut off draughts where all
the windows are open is frame of light
bamboo, standing by Richards couch
and hung with breadths of India silk in mink
with geometrlcal design ia cream-all the
new India silk patterns are conventional
and making a pleasant nook elsewhere is
another covered with japanese paper. A
little table of painted maple and the great
flower jugs in the corners and the book
shelves merit attention, but it is neces-
sary 10 pass TO the dining room, which
is ensuite with the parlors and
like them has a floor covered with mating,
with an art square" in terra Gotta color
ings under the oak table. Perhaps | didn't
say that on the parlor floors one or two
rugs are used, but not in sufficient numbers
to be hot looking. The dining room cur
tains are silk stripes, as they are called; the
material Is really lis.e thread in ecru,
barred horizontally with green, and costing
anywhere from So TO $40 per window. Ia
the middle of the room stands a rose bowl.
and morning, noon and night this is kept
filed.
My enthusiasm carried me up stairs; per
haps yours will not mount TO the second
story. 1T would be the same old city
house, insisted this Quixotic woman, "un-
less | had fresh bed chamber Her pretty
room has pale green woodwork and the
walls are done in pattern of Towering
hops of white and green. Here again she
had rot time or courage for any radical
alterations, perhaps even there was an at
tachment to the pretty paper, but change
of expression has been got if not a change
of features by having down the white lace
curtains and having up ''art draperies" of
printed muslin in rustic vine pattern
of green on white ground.
Nobody could drudge one such a
trif1ing satisfaction" smiled she triumph
antly, "for the stuff is forty-six inches wide
and costs only II cents a yard. The Dress
ing table is hung with the same cool faoric,
and it makes the canopies of the brass and
iron bedstead. Here, as downstairs, there
is mating for the floor covering. A deep
window seat is cushioned with green and
white chintz and along the window ledge
lies window bolster for the head or the
arm if one curls up for a breath of the cool
night in such a tempting situation.
wonderful. sleepy, hollow lounging chair,
steamer length, is of wicker with chintz
headrest. Two or three little pictures, such
as one gifts with the best of the art maya
zines, are framed in white lace frames.
For the "boys' rooms"-boys are always
boys to their mothers, though men grown -
the summer novelty is curtains of sheer
white muslin. very old style revived.
They have tambour pattern decoration,
and are Infinitely prettier than the Noting
hams, though they are sold as low as 81 Sc
pair.
There ought to be room TO talk about the
bangings of split bamboo to wall in the
little piazza, but since there isn't j must say
that there is hammock swung across one
corner of the back parlor. 1t sounds pro
fame. but those parlors are meant to be
lived 10. In the front parlor | should have
itemized a big pouf of two firm chiutz
cushions, such as are used for seats in
French drawing rooms, especially for
children.
And what will you do with this stuff
next winterp
Put it in an empty room or pay storage.
1t is really less trouble than to get oIe'e
house ready to shut up, pack and unpack
ones trunks, and clean house that holds a
summers accumulation of dust. 1t costs
less, and it is more fair. 1t gives us all a
summer change.
