SILK OF old rose; against your transoms

house need not int erfere with the color
scheme for this window. If your din
ing room is green you will find that white
muslin and green linen taffeta will be
prettier than anything you can use in here
for windows. The linen taffeta looks ex-
actly like the heavy, raw silk, but is much
less expensive. You might use portiers
OF old rose jute velours between parlor
and hall, they would look we'll in your
green hall. You suggest Brussels carpet
ing of soft green and reds for the: floor in
hall and dining-room. 1 think this
would be handsome and appropriate. Use
tiling of plain ivory white in dining room.
Such beautiful chairs of mahogany are
brought now in the graceful and stately
old colonial shapes that I should think you
would not have any difficulty in furnishing
your parlor PRETTY. Generally speaking,

with wicker or Turkish upholstere
pieces. For dining-room there are va
rious oaks, golden, antique, Flemish and
the beautiful brown Austrian. These are
also most effective in living room or
library. You wish to know what to place
on parlor table, as you do not use a
lamp. There are exquisite vases of fancy
glass brought now, and you could have
nothing more ornamental for the center
Of your table than a large, loose cluster
of roses in a handsome vase. Around

followed In the wake of nature, whose un-
errlng hand prepares for every. flower
stem and leaf whose color, lines and quail
ty are SO designed as to show the flower
IN its highest perfection. When, for eX-
ample, does rose show to such stately
advantage as when set in her own foliage.
In my letter last week I gave scheme
for little dining-room whose color,
strafghtness of line and general treat
ment suggested an iris; this may help
you toward understanding me. OF
course, this somewhat fanciful idea may
easily be carried to an absurd extent. T
would not advise the suggestion of
flower in living-room or drawing-room
or even a hall, and yet here also perfect
harmony of color and certain conformity
of line must be kept, or all possibilities
of beauty will eVapOrate in your handling.
The idea which 1t is most desirable to
express in these aforementioned apart
ments is that Of comfort In which
beauty has not been sacrificed for the
ltving-room; certain stateliness and
conventionality combined with both beau
ty and utility in the hall, and real ele-
gance and eXpensiveness in a drawing
room. Unless one can afford really hand
some furniture, rare objects of beauty and
art, rich draper1es and fine rugs, it is in
better taste to eschew drawing-room
and, as l have suggested, combine COM
fort and beauty in a living room.
A library should suggest culture Let
no trifiing ornament adorn it's walls, be
especially careful of the prints, photo
| graphs or paintings that you hang there.
! The subject Of these pictures should be
something to suggest thigh thinking and
should disclose a certain familiarity with
the finer works of art.

whole which is restful and agreeable. In
such room things do not play at cross
purposes, no bit of decoration is wasted,
but everything tends toward the produc-
ton of some one complete effect. Take,
for instance, the flower idea for a bed
room. A daisy, perhaps is the theme
around which we have to work. For a
young girls bed chamber nothing could
be more appropriate than this flower.
Recognize first the sentiment Of the daisy
or marguerite, which is purity and ex-
IRENE simplicity. You realize at once
that hits you wish, above all things, to
preserve in your trea tment. Nothing rich,
heavy or gaudy must enter into it. Next
take the material side of the flower, color
irst-it is white and yellow and a certain
shade Of green: White predominates
there is a little yellow only, in the heart
of the flower, and the stem, leaves and
calyx are green. Here you have your color
scheme. Finally we will, to a reason
able extent, carry out the lines of the
flower. There are slight curves, many
lines that are straight and slender, al
ways delicate in suggestion. There is
nothing curled or twisted, nothing rich
ly folded. as in the leaves Of a rose,
though the slender green stems may be
worked into arabasques on a .freiZe. A
| sure proof of your success with this room
| would be when you have finished it, to
place bowl Of daisies in conspicuous
place in it., II the surroundings lend new
| beauty to the. flowers, and the flowers
seem to blend perfectly with their set
ting you may congratulate yourself
| Other flowers will doubtless look well III
| this pretty room, but nothing will deco
| rate it so charmingly as daisies. You viii
| perceive at once that they are perfectly
| at home here. You have unconscious!
