Quaint. Cool Apartments Furnished In
Blue and White.
White enamel bedroom sets are as
fashionable as ever for the bedrooms
of country houses. The surface is
either Of plain enamel with brass trim
mings, or with decorations of Delft
blue in the form of little landscapes,
showing where pretty blue bridges
stretch over equally pretty blue streams
where there are boats on the water and
windmills by the shore, or bachelor
buttons are painted in clusters or scat
tered singly over each piece. The blue
decorations may be conventional in de-
sign and take the form of empire
wreaths of leaves or flowers, or of
scrolls.
Often few decorated pieces, a toilet
table and chair or two, or perhaps 4
cheval glass, may be the only decorated
pieces used with a plain white set.
Again, the blue may only appear in the
wall paper or hangings, or in the mantel
ornaments and clock and lamp shades,
which may be of Delft blue and white.
The light through the globe-shades Of
Delft blue and white is particularly
pleasing when it lights up a really good
little view of land and water. These
5nbQGS are however 4lgn E1ICCQ- IN
the low-priced shades the drawing is
very poor, and the boats ride in the
sky, and the windrnills occur in most
impossible places and positions. These
blue and white shades look their best on
lamps Of wrought iron. When blue and
white is not chosen for a bedroom,
green and white. old pink and white,
or violet and white are cool-lOoking
colOrs to put together. Often young
woman who can paint flowers well
decOrates a window seat, a rocking
chair and writing desk for herself.
Such a room is charming when the
decorations are violet and the white
wall paper is also scattered with the
same flowers. with many Of them in a
festOOned freize " here there are many
green leaves. This extreme daintiness
Of ooloring should, however, only be
chosen for a room where the maids who
care for the house or the maiden who
occupies it has leisure to keep it i'm
maculate- When light c0lOring is de
sired, and white is not liked. curly birch
and bird s-eye maple are both used for
bedroom furniture. White furnishings
have most opposite effects on different
persons One woman who has white
room finds its glare tiresOme, another
thinks it restful.-St. Louis Republic.
