Pink yellow and pale green SHADES are
particularly popular lin these designs. a
narrow duh silt brazil around the bottom
of the. shade above the net ruffles. The
ruffles were edged with lace. So was the
little ruche of the net at the top Of the
shade. The shade was festooned with
garland of pink and white sweet peas
made of chiffon and pale green ribbon for
vine and leaves.
In contrast with these delicious shades,
which are meant for use with rather
small lamps of Dresden, glass or French
gilt. in equally delicate drawing rooms,
or boudoirs. are to be found some strik-
ing new floral shades which can be used
in more handsome and showY apartments
or in large halls.
Are you planning the furnishings of
your summer cottage? And are you in
just a little doubt as to the best color
scheme? Perhaps some suggestion may
be formed in the following descripti 9n:-
An artistic way of fitting a bungalow
for the spring and summer is in red and
graz colors that blend we'll Either
would be impossible if used alone, for
the gray would be entirely too cold and
the other too warm, but together they
create delightful atmosphere that gives
just the right tol4s to the informality of
this kind of dwelling.
In one big room, the living room, as it
is called, most of the furniture is put.
for the other apartments opening off of
it are really nothing, more than small al
coves. thrown together during the day to
increase the size. though they are neces-
sarily used at night for sleeping. There
should be chairs, plenty of them, and all
comfortable, for lounging. In silver
birch, made after the rustic style, these
low. broad-seated rockers or straight
backed pieces are decidedly effective. One
or two reclining chairs with a foot and
leg rest attached, add dto the appearance
of ease.
One or two small tables for reading,
playing cards, or serving light refresh
ments during the afternoon should be put
in convenient places. Then, too. there
should be one. and, if possible, two
swinging seats hanging from the ceiling
by heavy s1ains painted gray for har-
mony. A fmilar seat large enough for
three or four, with rockers. is also de-
sirable. On the seats and backs of these
pieces red cushions or arras cloth should
be placed. On the floor, instead of at
tempting to have large rug, four or five
small ones in yariegated colors in which
red and gray. predominates should be
used. These, in keeping with the other
light summery decorations, should be OF
the rag style, with or without fringe.
Or, if the mission style furniture should
be considered more appropriate, then the
same number of pieces should be selected
of gray oak, upholstered with red arras
cloth. The walls in these bungalows are
usually left with the rafters plainly yisi-
bic, stained any shade to match the sur
roundings, and the rough plaster showing
between. If they are finished like the
average rooms with smooth coat of
plaster the walls can be made decorative
nv a q
rail with red and gray panels Of denim,
which would be effective and not too ex-
pelsive.
For the harlequin sandwich, bake
white bread in one round lard pail and
entire wheat bread in another of the
same size. - When done and cold cut off
the bottom crust of each, then spread
the white bread with just a suspicion of
butter. then with cream cheese mashed
and mixed with finely minced green pep
per sor olives. Then cut it very thin and
lay it on plate. Now sperad the brown
bread in the same way with butter, then
with finely minced boiled ham and beets
moistened with a suspicion of mayon
naise dressing. Cut thin as before and
put this slice on the white slice, and pre-
pare another white slice, spreading it
with mayonnaise of celery and apple
chopped fine. Put this on top or the
brown and prepare another brown one
simply buttered for the, top slice, or
spread the brown slice with finely minced
nuts--pecan or English walnut meants-
mixed with mayonnaise and have the top
slice white Press these firmly together
by yputting a Hate and weight-son top,
and when ready to serve cut in tiny
wedges like lay yer cake, leaving it all to-
gether, however, for each one to take out
piece bv the aid of knife. 1t looks
pretty and is delicious.
