soles. side chairs and arm chair had
buffet which suggested an old dresser.

white was embellished with flowers and
leaves in grayish color.

BLACK, soft green cream or gray with
floral decorations are splendid for these
rooms. The rugs may be one or two

are used floral design is not out OF

curtains in which the color scheme OF

and wall colors, bring out one or the

/ Colonial furniture was good ycster-
day, is good today and will be tomorrow
For the living room the furniture shouid
denote comfort, service, and satisfactory
contemplation. Many different kinds OF
furniture can be introduced effectively
in the living room.
Jacobean sofa tables fit against the
sofa in more artistic way than the
old center tables were placed A sofa
Iof the Italian period covered with navy
|blEe and orange brocade, has rcposing at
leach end round Bolster Of cushions 10
match the coverings, with long tassels
|of blue and orange.

land green broad striped stuff, fitted well
in the living room, whose principal color
lscheme was green. A large black vel
wet pillow criss crossed in yellow and
lgreen was thrown apparently carelessly
into its depths
A lamp table may be had in different
combinations painted in black and gold
lacquer. black and white or cream and
gray. Upon the table is a decorated
flower pot which is really the vase Of
the lamp. Rising from this is an iron
rod around which circle iron flowers
painted in flowers and which supply the
electric light bulbs The shades are in
colors TO harmonize with the color
scheme Of the room.
An air OF intimacy and hospitality is
given to an informal living room by
book cases, a long work table smaller
tables and the open fire place, This
room combines old English and Chinese
elements in It's decorative features.
Brought together in happy relation are
Chinese red and green ard deep blue.
The Jacobean furniture is of English
oak while the rug, ehintz and lamps are
in Chinese pattern. The chaise lounge
piled hisli with cushions is Of cane and
wood ard may be suttracted one part
from another to fern two chairs.
There should be a definite idea of
where and the unified scheme OF fur
nishiig the dining room. You must
know just where You are going to put
what You buy.

There is no better opportunity for the
housekeepcr to display personality and
charm than in the choice OF appoint
ments for the table service.
When buying china, consider first ii
the decoration is of permanent value.
Ii the shapes OF the dinner ware are
convenient to serve in for besides hav-
ing knowledge Of what IS beautiful and
artistic the purchaser must also be en-
dowed with good Judgment when select
ing the table equipments.
The present tendency toward sirnplif-
cation is portrayed in a correctly set ia
BILE. Only enough fiat silver is laid at
each p!ste for one course, which un-
questionably gives better appearance
TO the table than would large display
of silverware.
Service plates are no longer considered
luxurious addition to the table but are
now offered at a moderate price. The
eleven-inch plate is the one most fire.

A salad set does not necessarily need

Grated with pheasants and flowers. Glass
salad forks and spoons for serving the
salad from the bowl are liked better than
silver for they do not tarnish.

The day of cretonnes as summer fab
rio has passed away. The new cult OF
the irnpressicnistic school with its futu-
rist tone is to certain degree respon-
sible for the brighter hues. Not only
has the use of cretonnes advanced, from
cushion tops to furniture coverings, bu,
whole bedroom sets with enameled
frames are found of service.
There is large collection of sun fas,
