In "A Little CHS Room.

If your little daughter is about to

her own here are few suggestions as
to its furniture Have dotted Swiss

forget -me-not blue ribbons. Let the
little hedstead be painted with white
enamel and draped with canopy OF
white Swiss. through which a blue silk
lining should show. The bureau. which
should correspond in size to the bed,
should also be white, and, if ones
bank account will allow it, decorated
in silver. The latest washstand for a
child's room is of willow, painted in
white, with deep hollow in the CEN
ter to hold the dainty bowl and pitcher.
In this room all the appointments OF
the washstand should be of white
china, strewn with forgetme- nots. In
the corner of the room have baby
divan covered with light blue chintz
and banked with white linen-coyered
pillows, ornamented with a blue silk
frill. A little willow rocking chair is
another requirement. 1t should be
painted in white and have the seat
cushioned in light blue plush. Cover
the walls with paper which looks like
pompadour silk 1t may be cream
white in color striped with lines of
forget-me-nots. Have plenty of pic
lures on the walls. and a carpet of

rugs. and the small girl who owns this
apartment can not fail to be happy.

A Comfortable Room.

A room as you enter it for the first
time suggests one Of two things
comfort or discomfort Easy chairs, a
sofa with plenty of soft cushions in
suitable places, few bright pictures,
plenty of cosy rugs, and a little dainty
bric-a-brac well placed, are things in
dispensable to a comfortable room
There must be tables and books, pa
pers and magazines; in fact, the fam
lily sitting room should be the best
used and most luxurious apartment in
the house-well lighted and well venti-
lated instead of which it is very often
the least used room in the house, often
Kept locked, unless there are visitors.
And the art of Ornamontation in this
room is sometimes carried to excess
] have entered houses where my first
thought was of a fancy goods shop,
and | have groaned to think of the
amount of time and labor expended by
some poor woman to dust those goods
One is almost afraid TO move about at
ease lest fearful damages might be the
result Handmade decoration carried
out in brackets and fans ornament the
walls effectively, and add to the beau
ty OF the room if in taste and limita
ton
