There is a girl in the Quaker city
who is going TO be decorator some day.
If she ever gets a chance. From the
top Of her curly blonde head to the soles
Of her No. 2 shoes she is fun of original
ideas on interior furnishings. And now
she is going 10 furnish her bedroom to

She debated long over a flower or

green and silver OF her dreams. and
finally, after discarding moss roses, and
peoples. and daffodils, and maidenhair
ferns, she decided on the sturdy pine
tree Of her native State.
The floor of this room is going TO be
stained all a soft green, in a clear paint
through which the grain of the wood
will show. The walls and ceiling she
wanted calcimined in q light green, but
she was unable 20 do this, and com
promised on green burlap halfway up,
and the rest in white and silver MORE,
the dividing line marked by a narrow
strip Of weathered oak. On this line
win hang her few choice pictures, most
ly in narrow green or black frames.
AT the windows will be dark-green
shades, and back Of them window

with little dark-green pine trees, The
light OF the room IS 10 be given by q
hanging green-bronze electric lamp, in

converted into a green leather couch,
covered with sofa pillows. In the cor

Proper Use of Perfume

A variety Of scents 10 woman OF
taste would think of using, but having
chosen the enc she considers best, the
point is TO not OVerdO it
A faint aroma shed abroad is what
should be aimed ATTEST produced by
small sachets sewn in gowns and gar
ments generally. and a very little bit
of the best essence on the handker-
chief.
It is certainly bad taste TO cover the
handkerchief and TO perfume the writ
ing paper. so that any letter that is
dispatched to a friend scents her bag
and pocket and makes its presence I'M
duly noticed But always let your soap
and toilet powder be permeated with the
same perfume YOU use generally.
