FURNISHING OF CHINTZ ROOM
Thought Bestowed on Decoration Will Be We'll Repaid In Cheerful,
 EicmeIike Apartment.

There is pleasing homeliness about a chintz room which gives it subtle attraction Most women at this time of year are attacked with a laudable desire to redress their rooms so that the time of summer and the singing birds is suggested and win Jer's sunless cold forgotten.
 The most obvious way to achieve the redressing is to choose a suitable chintz and to order loose covers for all the chairs and sofas. ottomans and cushions in the room The favorite colorings this season give a range of tulip shades, purple, rose red, deep bun or scarlet These have some times a black ground, as in the days of Louis Philippe. Huge soft cush- ions. square or round in shape, are of down, covered with silk, and have no pendant louncing
 \ successful room can be obtained with one of the cretonnes or chintzes in oriental patterns. and the furniture or bibelots in the Chinese taste, which Is now so much to the fore, accord well with such designs. An excellent result is obtained if panels of the printed linen or chintz are placed on the wall instead of paper, and old prints show up well with such a back ground
 Old needlework is now reproduced in glazed chintz. and fine Italian pat terms glowing with subdued blues, reds and browns, with that clouded mauve only seen in Italian silks. and bed of anemones gives a touch of distinction to any room.
 X single mauve cushion and one of ] black in soft silk are generally intro duced as a daring note. Pomegran- ates, picotees and peonies figure and l the twisted stems form arabesques.

spaee.savlnu Parasols.

There is growing fancy for parasols and umbrellas that can be easily pack. ed. One of the newest is adjustable to any angle, which makes 1t convenient for motoring, tennis tournaments or the races, and when closed the top dis appears in the handle. This sunshade has rosette and loop by which it can be slung over the wrist.
 Folding umbrellas are now made to go in small trunks and compact enough to be tucked into a suitcase or even a sachel. An umbrella which does not fold, but weighs only twelve ounces, is of thin, strong silk on a light steel frame and stick.

 The invitations may be decorated with drawings of small hand-mirrors, tumblers, etc, and for the ornamenta- ton of the house every conceivable kind of glass vessel and mirror may be used In the table decorations cut or pressed glass should be prominent. h the center of the table small mirror might be placed, with a large glass bowl upon it filled with flowers. Red carnations with red candle-shades make a very effective color scheme for the crystal background. Little cakes with red icing, red bonbons, and red place cards may also be used. The re- treatments should be served on glass dishes, the walters using glass trays if possible. Tiny glass bottles each containing a red carnation and a sprig of smilax make very appropriate sou yenirs. Should the bride desire an appropriate gown for the occasion, 1t may be trimmed with quantities of glass beads or the glass drops from g chandelier.

BRILLIANCY IN SHOE COL0RS
Many of the Modes Verge on the Gar lsh, Though Remarkably Pretty
 Effects Are Produced.

Just as colors in hosiery have been used with discretion by the woman with talent for dress, so have colors in our footgear Some women have adopted gayly colored tops for their shoes with an eclat which carried them off; others have impressed us with the vulgarity of the new whim. But one and all have fallen captive to the new Colonial slipper, which was introduced along with the flashing lit- tie Directoire coats, the Continental hats, and other reminders of the Ma poleonic period It is a jaunty little affair, which is simply bewitching on the right foot, a slender little foot with well arched instep, for it boasts broad pointed tongue, spread ing out over the insted. high heel. on the Spanish order, and a stunning buckle - just such 6 buckle as the more fortunate of us have handed down for generations. We copyists of today select such a bucgle in gun metal, leather, old silver or. if we wish to be very rash. rhinestones Can't you see just how fascinating these slippers can be?
 For evening. our satin slippers. whether In black or a color to match the gown, are brilliant with buckles of the glittering rhinestones, or cut steel The bow knots of platinum. set with brilliants, are entrancing as adornments to dainty satin slipper. Still another fancy calls for a button Of brillisnts.

FERNS NEED SPECIAL CARE
Too Frequent Watering of This sensl- tive Plant, for Instance, Is to
 Be Avoldedy

Is your fern suffering from summer complaint?
 If it is you have failed to learn the most important of all facts in the care of ferns, which is that too frequent watering is not good for these delicate plants The Boston variety, or short. curly kind. is generally considered difficult to keep in thriving condi- ton, yet one woman finds the task comparatively easy.
 This housewife, who takes a pecu- liar joy in ali the beauty pertaining to home, declares the fern should be kept in front of window, where 1t receives the morning sun. It must stand on a soft surface, sand in jar diniere much larger than the fern pot being one of the best arrangements. This allows it to get plenty of air. an essential point in its care
 Do not water the fern more often than every other day Now and then 1t Is best to wait three or four days. as a good dryout is most advisable. Take the fern into the laundry or basement and give 1t a good bath once or twice a month
 Never let the temperature average more than 70 in the room where the fern is kept, cooler atmosphere be- ing better Keep the plants free from dry or dead leaves. If possible, place the fern in shady place in the yard for its summer outing, packing earth we'll around the pot, treatment which increases its growth.

In the Dry Goods Economist the statement is made that the belt finish Is rapidly coming Into favor for smart dresses; in fact. some of the more dressy models have belt effects. the dress materials being used for this purpose, and in many cases combined with various kinds of leather. The introduction of belts does not mean that the waists will be small. however. The belts are used in an ornamental way only and are not intended to ac. osntuate any curves of the figure.

they are the new and individual fea- ture of this style. Not everyone can wear them.
 All the hair Is waved for this hair dress and the puffs are quite literally pinned on. That would at any rate be the most convenient way in which to wear them. They are too light and fluffy to burden or heat the head and as a matter of fact. much more com fortable than the natural hair Is when arranged in so many puffs
 It will be noticed that the puffs are arranged very close to the head and that there Is not much hair at the sides of the face as in the greater number of todays coiffures.
