CHILDREN'S ROOMS.
Proper Furnishings to Place in The

Proper Furnishings to Place in Them.
The modern nursery is one of the most
interesting rooms in the entire house Its
walls are fairyland of drolI characters
and quaint scenes, its pictures are the ex-
preston of childish dreams, and its small
furnishings in imitation of larger house
fittings are the perfection of craftsman S
skill. 1t is, in fact, a miniature world,
and the child who is fortunate enough to
be reared in such delightful surroundings
has an individuality all his own.
Take, for instance, the infinite variety
of sau papers which are displayed for
children'S rooms. Most fascinating is the
dull green border that serves as a back
ground for colored figures Of Noah's ark,
trees, and hundred and one different ami
mails. This forms the deep frieze for a
pale blue wall and makes a room look like
a veritable toyland.
Another border showing a silver back
ground displays procession of chubby
faced children in Dutch costumes some
playing in groups, some with Joined hands
ringing round the rosy and others busy
at gardening or gathering flowers. These
are but two of the many nursery papers
any one of which is a picture book in itself
and the cheeriest possible decoration for
little folks rooms.
A white molding usually finishes the
bottom of the frieze, and this affords an
excellent catch for picture hooks. Only the
brightest faces and the happiest scenes
are portrayed in prints that adorn the
modern nursery walls. Pictures which

what is more delightful" writes a
French authority on dress matters, than
to see a really old woman eXquisitely
gowned-the woman of siXty-fve and more
who has emerged triumphanty from the
storms Of life and fallen gracefully into tina
delicate peace which IS the crown of age,
that faded and last prettiness which has
earned the right to all the fairer and sweet
er things in life, and which, delicious to re-
late, is often accompanied by captivating
fondness for pretty clothes? In short, that
lady who is not elderly any more, but is
at last sweetly and simply and beautifully
old"
Beginning with mere materials, the tex
lures of the moment in all respects are
suited to identifying age. The gorgeous
silks, stiff with gold ana silver patterns,
the handsome and d'gnified moires, the
velvets falling as lightly muslins-all
these fashionable when old world DANES
carried ieweled snuff boxes and wore pale
blue and patches and pink roses in their
hair, are again in vogue. Some of the col
ors affected long ago are especially admired
this SeaSOn-frambOiSe, VieuX-roSe, silver
blue-and in all of these delicate yet rich
tints have been seen evening gowns for
Old ladies.
The styles Of these dresses do not vary
greatly from those for more youthful wear
ers. Skirts are perhaps more often plain
than trimmed, and there Is a tendency with
bodices TO conceal stiffness by means of q
looser cut But there are the same yukes
the same elbow sleeves, in effect If not in
reality and in some instances the same
suggestion of high girdling. Especially for
very slight figures are the more elegant
styles cOquettish and frOu-frOu. and though
the DANES age might, TO many minds, call
for a bonnet, her white head is as fire.
