Heavy gray linen is much used for the background for embroideries which are to be employed as house decorations. Bedrooms and living rooms for country houses are fur nished in gray in many instances, and the linen is used for bed hangings, cushion covers, tablecloths and win dow hangings. Ambitious needlewom- en are embroidering these articles in quite elaborate designs in several col ors. For one bedroom a set of hang ings for the bed and window is being made of the gray linen embroidered with designs of wood fairies and fuch- sias in tons of violet, green, pale vel low and fuchsias red.

 This shape is to be had in many col ors as well as black and white. It is pretty in black hemp or tagal, and in good black chip will prove serviceable. The color of the roses is a matter of taste, which the wearer may settle to suit herself.
