should be used, or even gilt-the darker
the tone the nearer it will seem to bring
the ceiling. Drape across from fretwork
to fretwork. or if you have full corners
drapery may be omitted. Use yellow
japanese silk, or if too expensive paper
the space inclosed by fretwork with cot
ton Grape in white or yellow.
For the floor select fine plain mat
ting and Japanese cotton rug. 1t is
not desirable to have too pronounced
yellow OH the floor, but you will find
these rugs in white and old gold color
ing. Have window shades of white hol-
land and curtain the lower panes with
tightly shirred silk. I would suggest
sheborri, comparatively new fabric
having a yellow ground ard small de-
signs in white.
Choose brass bedsteads of iron with
brass trimmings, painted white. In Eng
land these steads are to be bought with
swinging rods at the head, from which
drape9y is hung. By day it is disposed
artistically over tho pillows i'll place of
pilluwshams, at night swung back
flowing against the wall. This drapery
should match the window treatment.
An Aleppo bedspread, all silk and linen
embroidered, may be found in harmo-
nious colorings for about $l5. But
simple white one would look very pretty
with the yellow draperies If you use
white, select a comforter in delicate
contrast to lie at the foot.
The English dressing table has
swinging oval glass and is usually
placed in bay window or before an
other available one SO that the light
may fall full OH the dressing figure and
the glass have room to swing i'll the al
cove. The table but for one little drawer
is hollow underneath and is draped to
the floor all the way round. For this
use swiss muslin over yellow silk or
cambric. To be very economical use a
simple deal table, drape it and hang
above a dainty mirror. Give the wash
stand the same treatment. If the drapery
be made to part like curtains, the little
drawer may be reached with ease.
An English bedroom is seldom with
out wardrobe. It's doors are mirrors
to reflect the full length figure. The
open fireplace is another distinctive fea
ture. In winter it is filled with blazing
logs to greet the coming guest. In sum
mer drapery from the mantel conceals
it, On either side the fireplace have an
upholstered armchair covered with
brown holland piped with yellow.
There is new armchair that would do
to place beside the bed. 1t is pictured
here, Egyptian and very odd, back and
seat concave, arms pear shaped. 1t is
upholstered in silk velours. peacocks and
the broken stemmed lotus flower in flesh
pinks, yellows, green's and olives Oh
dark dove ground. 1t is to be bought
for $9
Dress like your fireside armchairs the
indispensable divan, and be sure ancng
its yellow and white and old gold cush-
ions to have one of the beautiful trans
parent Moorish cloth. 1t comes striped
with china blue, red, brown and olive
OH pale ecru ground interviewer with
gold. The material is so inches wide
and ST.. so per yard. 1t takes -eighths
of yard to make nice cushion. Make
it up over white.
When the sun comes into your yell
low room, you will find it produces a
soft, mellow effect that is conducive to
the securing OF perfect complexion.
Yellow, while possessing many other
pleasing effects, wears we'll.
