Interior Decoration.

Simplicity is the keynote of success
full decoration, and particularly is this
true in the bedroom, where ornament
should be of simple line and used with
sparing hand. One of the most effec-
tive schemes of decoration is to
choose some attractive design and to
carry it out in the decorations of the
entire room.
For this purpose a rose stencil is
particularly attractive, says a Pic
torial Review contributor.
You naturally think of rose room
as being rose colored," but conven-
tional designs, you can be fancy
free" as far as color is concerned, and
the girl who is fond of blue will find
rose design done in two tones of
blue very pleasing, while in yellow and
browns it works out excellently.
