A Novel Dining Room.

A white and yellow dining room is
decidedly something of novelty. 1t Is
difficult for decorators and home max.
ers to get away from the idea that
lining room should be treated in a
markedly digniied If not a somewhat
subdued and heavy style. Yellow and
white is not necessarily fiippant, and
when the room to be treated is in the
country and has a green and shaded
outlook, tie effect is really charming.
An apartment of this sort in Long
Island cottage has the wall paneled to
within seven inches of the tops Of the
doors, and all the woodwork is painted
ivory white. Above the paneling Is
stenclled frioze in shades of daffodil,
orange and chestnut. The rug is in
tones of brown and dull soft blues.
