MAKE YOUR HOME
ONE Of SUNSHINE
Yellow and Cream Scheme Car
ried Out in All the Rooms
Makes an Ideal Style of Fur
niShing.

1t makes one stop and think, not a
sunshiny house with the sun stream
ing in every window, but a house Of
sunshine. Sunshine in furnishings,
sunshine in harmony, sunshine in tenn
per, and above all. sunshine in love.
Wouldn't that make a wonderful
home?
Perhaps if we started with the fur
nishings suggestive of all the other
virtues. the latter would, by sugges-
ton, become more attainable. so we
will start by tinting or papering all
the lower walls a very deep cream,
not a milk wagon cream, but a good
country Jersey cream which comes
perilOusly near yellow
on the floors, which are oak, we
will use the Martha Washington
squares of yellow and white, but from
the fact that they are washable and
very easily cleaned they might prove
too light in color, but this virtue
makes them very satisfactory
Wicker furniture with their large
cushions done in yellow linen, the
same yellow linen used as outer hang
ings, over deep cream marquiSette
window curtains will produce the
sunshine look. The sofa cushions can
be of the shaded linens from canary
through 10 orange. Use the yellow
for table covers and the lining of
the lamps wicker shade.
Flower Boxes at indOWS
Under the three front windows have
wicker flower boxes strained yellow.
and keep filled with ferns and some
yellow blooming plants. Early winter
brings the yellow primrose. then come
tulips and daffOdils, but through the
hot summer months when the rooms
must be kept partially shaded. ferns
will be all you can successful use. for
blooming plants need much sunshine.
In the dining room a set of birds
eve maple Will accentuate and make
more attractive your yellow scheme;
and here the yellow linen curtains
over the cream marquisette can be
used also. A set of Dutch ware with
a yellow tulip border is both mex
pensive and effective. The window
boxes used here also would look very
attractive.
The two bedrooms should also be
yellow For the first a yellow maple
set with some pretty lowered chintz
in yellow and white for furniture COW
erings. one set Of curtains which
should be of some sheer white muslin.
is all YOU want to use, for here you
need all the air possible For the
second bedroom, a yellow and white
narrow stripe is always good. and has
the added advantage Of making a
room look larger than It really is.
Even the bathroom can have vel
low and white rug, and the linen have
onograms done in yellow.
Sun Porch in Wicker.
The sun porch should be all in
wicker, left in its natural color. This
will harmonic better with the yellow
denim cushions you will want to use.
The boxes beneath the windows
should be filled with ferns and white
daisies, for these cOlOrs are cool and
fresh. The cut flowers used can be
kept in yellow. The rugs here are
best of green crex
And so, as you live in your yellow
home, make ii for yourself and all
who come beneath your roof a place
OF sunshine. given in such abaund
ance. that those who come to YOU
from the shady and Swallowed plans of
life, will receive its life giving rays,
and carry back with them enough to
make in their turn Sunshine in shady
places"
