Blue and pink were used IN another
room. The furniture was in soft brown.
The curtains were of she'll pink edged
with an old-fashioned fringe, while the
inner curtain was of a dark shade of
blue, lined with pink and edged with soft
rose colored fringe. The woodwork was
painted in a light brown. The chairs

upholstered in pastel blue cretonne. A
brown carpet patterned with rose helped
to make this room the daintiest place
imaginable
A bedroom set, that recalls to Us
images of the early Victorian period, has

THE NURSERY ~ ,,
Any labor expended in furnishing the
nursery will repay you many times over,
and the room will be an unceasing de-
light to the youngsters. Rag rugs with
nursery borders, such as procession of
animals and gay clowns, quaint lads and
lassies, or Dutch scenes. may be ju-
diciously chosen for the little ones room.
The walls should be plain. If border
is used it should be within reach of the
juvenile eyes. Real children's furniture,
along sensible and interesting lines, can
now be had. A visit to the shops will
surprise you when you observe the va
riety offered
Designs cut out of Mother Goose Gre
tonne and sewed to muslin or linen with
black darning thread make lovely bed
spreads, curtains and covers.
A child's playroom which was fur
nished in accordance with the latest ideas
had a blackboard fitted to the wall.
This appealed to me as being a very
sensible idea for the school children,

There is as much art in creating a
home as there is in making the creations
which 60 to make a home"
The tendency for simpl!hcation in all
things is foremost in the furnishing of
the modern home. Though the newly
married couple may start housekeeping
in an apartment, they are usually look
ing forward to the time when they can
possess home of their own.
If furniture is but the reflection of
the character of a people" the Ameri
ical home of people with moderate
incomes is digni6ed, has an air of sim
pie beauty and provides genuine COM
fort.
At no previous time has there been
exhibited greater independence in the
furnishings of the home. The woman
of keen judgment and tasteful discern
ment no longer blindly follows her
studies the subject from her own view
point, so that there will be perceptible
relationship between the furniture and
the decorative and architectural motives
of the room.
No one color is in the ascendant this
year, though mulberry, grey, tan, soft
blues, rich reds and putty color are
used. Black and white combinations
and a rich riot of colors are also OBJ
served. The futurist school is response
bic for many of the new color schemes
Gold color has been successfully used
in some rooms, but it is we'll to remem-
Der that an interior with a southern
exposure does not require such warm,
sich colors as one facing the north.
The necessity for light and air is one
of the lessons we have recently learned
Have the room we'll lighted A cheap
fixture, which corresponds to the rest
of the room, is far more appropriate
than a costly one which may be entirely
out of keeping with its environment
The electric fixtures are often suspended
by silk cords harmonizing with the rest
of color scheme.
A person with artistic instinct will not
crowd a room with pictures, for she will
realize that too many pictures produce
an appearance of confusion. 1t is just
as true, though, that few suitable pic
lures always increase the attractions OF
the room. Pictures should not be placed
too high and should hang straight, no,
out from the wall. A good center line
for. the usual sized picture is about five
feet and six inches from the floor, I'M
less the picture is to be hung above the
mantel.

1 l0T t9 ne ,bo5e Of Austria and Hungary
We see bowls, flower pots, picture
frames mirrors and numberless other
objects made unusual by the bold designs
and artistic colorings inspired by these
peasants.
Goldfish bowls, bird cages and ninia-
ture Japanese gardens have found place
on the art tables. No less a person than
Poiret has designed some goldfish bowls
which have real decorative value. The
miniature gardens are far more interest
ing than the ferneries, and the Chinese
bowls with their tiny pagodas, men,
storks, bridges, boats and dwarf plants
are surely worthy of the interest given
them.
China and Japan have taught us much
about the decorative possibilities hidden
in all flowers. Chinese porcelain, richly
colored in designs that were probably
inspired by the dreams Of some long-for-
gotten artist, makes joyful possession
when used as flower vases from old
Japan come many moderately priced
flower Jars in subdued tones. The 10
konabe ware is distinguished for its
brick red color and raised dragon design.
Crystal bud vases mounted in silver
or bronze bases surrnounted by Favrlle
glass vases are objects productive of de-
light when used for just one blossom.
In a room furnished in the Adams

skillful labor and in simplicity OF design

WOMAN TELLS OF
 EMPRESS TRAGEDY

Quebec, June 25-CounseI of the Storstad at the Empress of Ireland wreck investigation today called Miss T. Townsend of New Zealand, who was a first cabin passenger on the lost liner. His purpose was to get from her corroboration of the testt- mony of the Storstad's officers re- garding the signal whistle blown by the Empress just before the collision
 She said that, just before the crash, she heard three short blasts and two long ones. The rest of her narrative had to do with her personal experi- ence in the wreck.
 The attorney for the Canadian Pa cific railway obtained permission to read the evidence from three passen- gers bearing on the question of the closing of the compartment doors and port holes of the Empress. One of these passengers swore that he was awakened byswater pouring through the porthole. The other two said that when they awoke up after the crash their cabins were flooded with water
 Lord Mersey, the chairman at this point raised the question as to whether. in ships of the Empress type, where the apparatus for closing the water tight doors from the bridge was not of the most modern style, it was desirable or practicable to close all watertight doors and portholes when the vessel entered the fog.

PEACE PROSPECTS
 MORE PROMISING

Washington, June 25.-After a con ference with Secretary Bryan, Presi- dent wilson authorized the statem ent today that the outlook in the Mexican situation was more promising than it had ever been before.
 It was intima4ed by officials close to the President that his feeling was based on the signing of protocols at Niagara Falls last night and on the expectation that the internal affairs of Mexico would be satisfactorily ad- justed between representatives of the constituionaHsts and the Huerta del- egates.
 A report was current today that Herbert J. Brown of Washington, had been sent to Mexico by President Will son to confer with General Carranza, but there was no official confirmation.

Tn connection with the Warren Bros contracts for t'Warrenite,'' a. special
 meeting of the common council has been called by Mayor Wilson for Mon day night, which with the service of warrants upon the aldermen by Depu- ty Sheriff Joseph Kalafus, has created the most profound sensation in politi- cal circles.
 Tn the meantime the Warren Bros. are rushing work on West avenue and with the arrival of a boat1oad of crush ed stone it is believed the actual work of topping will be begun this after noon or tomorrow morning.
 While the actual warrant for the calling of a meeting of the council had not been returned to the city clerks office this morning and it's exact word ing could not be determined.
 It is likely that matters will not be so conveniently arranged when the common council meets, Monday. Some of the aldermen are known to take the view that the council has been hoodwinked into an illegal action, and into a situation in which public con- demnation is launched against them
 Mayor Wilson admitted that he might possibly have some suggestions to make. Just what this means is a matter of conjecture to many of the

 MT. Segal who, until the death of his wife year or so ago, lived at 151S Park avenue. where his active participation in all Jewish affairs and the accomplishments of his. daugh- ters made the home life of the de- ceased ideal, was connected not only Advertising Co.,N but with many of the social orders in Bridgeport and vii cinity.
