pretty ingenuity which adds much to that
least attractive piece of furniture in a room.
The stand Is set across a corner and has n gold
and white toilet set to correspond with Its own
decoration. Back Of it is a threefold screen in
white frame, the center panel being filled with
q stirring OF white dotted muslin which auite
fills the place Of the indispensable splasher and
is much prettier. The side panels, which are
set so as to partly inclose the stand are filled
with shirrings of yellow and white The bu-
reau, with Its swinging glass. is adorned with
scarf and cushion, leaving the knick- knacks to
be added when the young mistress comes to
her 'own again.
Several pretty little chairs are in the room.
and with the soft background of yellow car
fridge paper, and its freize in the same tones
both pictures and furniture show to the best
advantage.
RosE-CoLoRED BouDoIR.
The adjoining room fitted up in old pink
and is lovely rose-colored apartment. The
walls are plain cartridge paper with frieze of
large flowers in the shades OF rose. and all the
wood work is painted delicate pink to CORE
spond. The floor is covered with the same
neutral toned mating of the bed room.
This room has bay window-three-s sided
and in this window seat is fitted, which is
useful as well as pretty in more ways than as a
pleasant Longing place. The seat is really a
box lid, which lifts. showing a long box Tor
dresses in three sections, as il were the whole
being upholstered in charming pink cretonne,
deep plating falling to the floor, with tufted
seat. and a quantity Of soft pillows completing
the luxurious little nook.
ONE OF THE PRErTIEsr FEATURES
Extending from the bay window on either
side, all around the room. is one Of the pet
tiest features, very narrow shelf. rather
higher than a chair rSji would come, with a
spindle-work edge to ensure the safety of orna-
ments to sit upon it. In one rather short
spsce between doors this swelIs out in a curved
shelf, considerably wider than in the other
places, making an odd and pretty place for
| some special decoration. Over the door be-
tween the rooms and also over the door lead
| ing into the hall from both rooms were tran
| SONS. which have been replaced by unusually
pretty Moorish fret work in light wood and al
the base OF this and resting on the door frame
| are similar little ''swell 'front.' shelves some
thing quite unique and extremely pretty.
| NEAT TABLE.
One Of the prettiest things in the room is a
square table of quite good size. with straight
legs and shelf underneath. This has been
painted pink, like the wood work, and on top,
leaving border of the wood five inches wide
| around the edge, is q square of wood covered
With old-pink plush in one of the exquisite
shades of that color. This center piece is set a
quarter OF an inch above the table surface and
Is very effective. sitting on the table is a
pretty lamp, whose shade of deep pink is cal
culated TO throw rose-colored light over
everything in the room during the evening.
| The light. however, does not necessarily come
| fron the lamp. for center chandelier is ap-
propriateiy fitted with rose-pink candles and
/ pink bobeches.
IN one narrowwan space, a small book case
| is set and there several chairs in the room
upholstered IN the pink cretonne, tied with
| pink ribbons.
