I house or fiat. The requirements of the time and place must be met. The finish of the woodwork of the room conditions the wall treatment to a great degree. While the light. natural finish yellow pine goes very well with the tan and brown shades. 1t Is not con- sidered as good style as the dark oak or the painted woodwork of black or white. The heavy Mission finish woodwork re- quires the soft. rich, church-wndow tints to bring out Its beauty. White enamel or cream-eolored woodwork, on the other hand. fits in with almost any dainty scheme. brightens q dark room and gives colonial effect which Is very pleasing
 A very artistic effect is given by the tinted wall which Is very lasting if successfully done. and not at all costly. When used with the soft two-toned land scape paper friezes the minor tone can be carried down the side wall by tintlng with excellent effect. and q continuous solid wall surface is gained thus.
 Always secure the color contrasts from the hangings or from q brilliant many hned oriental rug. Bright. vivid culor can also be secured from growing plants flowers. pictures O. vases. but never from the wall covering. Of course. no pictures are used with frieze.
 Crimson and vivid red are seldom In- troduced successfully into rooms that arc constantly used. Deep. dark colors are more suitable for dens and libraries. while soft. velvety shades should be used for daily living rooms.
 In selecting material for the hangines, upholstery. etc.. it's durability for the service required is the first consldera- ton; next. 1t should be suitable In colcr and quality for the purpose Of the room. Ten cent paper Is as much out of place in a Fifth avenue mansion as silk tapes try In a farmhouse.
 Plain materials go with lowered wall coverings, but with plain walls the ma terials may be figured. Pictures. as well as the designs of furniture coverings and carpets, have an added value against plain. solid coIors
 One particularly attractive bedroom. which will serve to show how one goes about the choosing of colOrs. is done in pale green and hellotrope of a lighter shade. Plain papering of dalnty greel. bordered by sprays of heliotrope. adorns the wall. while the ceiling appears in m ivory tint. The bird's-eye maple furni- ture and woodwork correspond
 On the antique dresser coffee eolored net scarf shows to advantage over slip of heliotrope satin. Three rows of bead Ing. through which green satin ribbon one half an inch wide has been run, finish the scarf. while the pincushion, of green. with q faring satin bow to match, lends an added charm 10 the room dainty hand-paiuted toilet set shows graceful sprays of delicate heliotrope. with spreading leaves.
 Under a small maple desk is a pretty ecru scrap basket of fancy straw, with an effective bow of green satin ribbon intermlngled with heliotrope Dark green denim, we'll stretched, entirely covers the floor, being offset by several mating rugs In buf and green.
 The windows are curtained in soft ecru madras, touched with heilotrope and green. Lightweight cream eretonne Is used for the coverings for the bed and bolster, relieved by punches of helio- trope and bits of green.
 The true test of a successful room Is that it is first restful and always com fortabie. BEATRICE CAREY.
