A DREAM IN WHITE AND GOLD.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer Jr, who is as fair
and slender as any gold-crowned East
er lily, has a little boudoir which is
dream in rose-color, white and gold.
The walls are hung with white silk,
fiecked with gold; the carpets are
snowy white, and the downy pillowed
couches, big easy rest chairs, even the
dainty frames of the water colors,
which hang here and there, are repeti-
tons of the rose, white and gold. To
preserve the harmony, Mrs. Dyer al
ways chooses her negliges with an eye
to the coloring of the dainty little.
room in which she is to wear them.
But you feel when the footman shows
you up stairs, and you enter the bou-
doir. that the one thing lacking is a
loose robe, fashioned like a Chinese
gown, or like a Roman toga, which
each guest might slip over his street
dress. and so preserve the harmony of
this delicately-tint boudoir.
Mrs. George Gould seems to revei in
the warm, delicious, Oriental colorings,
and the boudoir in her beautiful house
on Sixty-seventh street and Fifth ave.
nue., seems a little bit of Persia. The
shape of the room is circular, and not
an inch of wall or ceiling is visible. SO
close are the hangings of rich gold
embroidered stuffs. The rugs which
cover the floor are almost like paint
ings, so beautiful is the coloring and
design.
Palms and ferns are placed wherever
there is room for. the beautiful, fragile
porcelain bowls in which they are
placed. low, cushioned couch runs
all around the room, and there are
spicy big pillows by the dozen. with
covers of gorgeous silks and carnePs
hair, made especially for this lovely
room. There is no desk, no work
basket; nothing suggestive of work.
lor this is real rest room, and the
favored guest who is made welcome
need not even talk unless she is so dis
posed. Tea would never do in such a
room as this, SO when Mrs. Gould
sounds queer little bell the maid
serves coffee in beautiful little Guns
