IN "YOUR OWN" ROOM
SOME IDEAS AS TO FURNISHINGS
AND DECORATION.
Proper Preparations for Rest, Amid
Cheerful Surroundings, Must Be
Looked To, and Simplicity

Every house takes on the personal
lty of the dominating individuality
dwelling within it, with chameleon
like rapidity. 1t Ia inevitable that
the household ruler expresses himself
or herself Enthusiastically, In endless lit
tie ways, to be discovered on every
side, Whether illiterate or a scholar,
rich or poor, that influence Is evident
everywhere throughout the house,
with the possible exception Of the diff
ferent bedrooms. Ones individual
bedroom Is or should be ones king
dom. and cannot be invaded by any
influence save that of its occupant.
1t should mean more than merely a
place to sleep; 1t is your room,' and
that expresses something very per

patchwork" 10 About the Only Way
Properly to Describe Some OF
the Creations

To apply the word patchwork to GER
tain fascinating creations Of the
blousemakers seems far from kind,
but one is at loss how otherwise to
describe them. Nowadays. indeed
one picks up deliberately a motif OF
embroidery, a square of linen or We
netian lace. piece Of broderie An
glaise and some odd scraps Of lace,
which need not match, and all OF
these. placed skilfully together. pro
duce result that is naturally unique
but is at the same time dainty and
original.
Many of the most exclusive houses
make fine art of these blouses, and
they are very expensive, for the lace
of which they are made is real and
often valuable and old.
But the patchwork blouse may be
made very successfully from odds and
ends Of the sales-if with the addition
of some scraps Of real lace which
have hitherto been hidden uselessly
In drawer, so much the better.

NEW FABRIC Is DELIGHTFUL
Nothing Prettier Than the Brocaded
Velvet Has Been introduced for
Many Seasons.

Almost regal in their loneliness ara
the new evening fabrics for the COM
ing winter season. And particularly
true is this Of the new brocaded vel
vets. For splendor Of coloring and
richness OF designs and variety they
are unequaled.
One feature Is their lightness OF
weight-a whole gown Is not cumber'
some, for the velvet is chiffon weight
and woven of very light silk.
The newest silks have chiffon
background, filmy and delicate, from
which the raised velvet figures stand
out in richness and beauty. The cor
ais, rose colors, soft amber shades
and greens are unusually beautiful and
are being much used for the more ele-
CANT toilettes.

French Shoes Are Smart.

A critic OF woman's dress was
asked what first struck him about
French women. and his reply was the
smartness of their footgear, for they
are said to be the best shod women
in the world. Everywhere in Paris
he had noted the exquisite, shapely,
gay little shoes of the Parisienne trip
ping through the boulevard and ave-
nue., square and street. There Is a
good deal in this opinion, for the
French boot and shoe are invariably
elegant even in their most utilitarian
form, and their practical purpose is
considered next to their charm.

beauty or individuality, and should
be introduced in every case, regard
less of either. The furniture should
be simple and easily cleaned. The
draperies should preferably be of
washable materials and easily taken
down for an occasional airing. There
should be as few pictures on the walls
as possible.
A small night table by the bed has
hundred constant uses, and is an at
tractive addition to the room. One
should always have a candle or a
night lamp conveniently at hand, as
well as drinking water. The old-fash-
