The House Beautiful

This is the era OF the luxuriously fur
nished home. You don't see plain, serv-
iceable furnishings nowadays; everything
Ia handsome and designed for ornament.
Period rooms are the latest hobby for
milady, and she has at least one room
done in Louis Philippe style. Tapestry
Is another popular fabric. 1t ls usually
cut into squares and inserted in panels
in the wall. 1t is also pretty upholstery
for chairs and divans, and comes In
charming variety of elaborate designs
and exquisite textures. These show up
more vlvidly when mounted on furniture
OF heavily carved oak or mahogany, or
on a severely plain article.
The decoration on the tapestry consists
Of old French or Flemish scenes, and
many examples of barnyard pictures are
to be found. Other favorites are the
crown, dragon-head and the miniature
effects.
French velour Is fine thing to use to
upholster the heavy, black antique fur
niture. You can get 1t in deep reds,
green, faint old-rose shade and any
number of fantastic styles. This makes
an excellent showing in the library, or
the living room. II your lights are bright
the colors will show up beautifully In the
evening. Use panels Of the velour in the
wall.
