How 10 Treat Sunless Roome.

floW 70 ilIdk 0INltoo noDmSs
No one wants a gloomy room. but
what to do with such a room is a prob
lem that has bothered more than one
of us.
Many woman has foregonc inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low. all the light possible to come into
the room. but still it looks dreary. It
is not as much the light that we neeI
as the sunshine. and when this cannot
be had we must make it, or, rather, get
the effect OF it.
A room with northern aspect should
not. OF course. be papered in blue or
some such cold color. but rather in
rich. warm tones OF olive. green. brown.
red or yellow. II the room gets but
little light and sunshine, yellow should
be our choice. Not only should we
have yellow on the walls, but also on
the ceiling, for the sake Of the rcaec-
tion. A pretty treatment Is TO have n
light pumpkin yellow on the walls as
FAR rs the picture moldlng and a light
tr shade above this and on the ceiling.
Then yellow silk sash curtains. pulled
back. tend to make a room sunny.
Brass can rcalze a wonderful differ
ence 10 a dreary room. A large Jar

brass in a sunless room cannot be too
strongly emphasized. Mirrors bright
