NEW COLOR SCHEMES.
Clever Women Design Their Own Dec
orations These Days. E..

Maybe reems have long been In
favor and pronounced as a success
because of the way in which this COM
blnation of black and white intensi-
fies the color of its inhabitants dresses.
Now it is to be followed by other bird
schemes. The woman who loves to
work out color schemes for her house
can find no more interesting study
than the plumage of birds. 1t ranges
from the most delicate pastel tints to
deep metallic greens and blacks.
The idea of a peacock room has been
immortalized by an artist, but it may
be carried out in simpler terms by
any woman with a good eye for color
and texture. Another idea is to have
a peacock suit of rooms. The bed
rooms may be decorated in the soft
est of blues and greens, the living
rooms in the gorgeous bronze and gold,
the brilliant blue and luminous green.
Even the domesticated birds of the
farmyard may suggest good decora-
tive schemes. There is q smoky gray
sort of hen with a comb of soft gera-
MUM red which might inspire the pref
test of boudoir.
A bluebird room for children is rath-
er obvious, but usually very satisfac-
tory. A stork nursery just devised for
a new baby has a faint gray paper,
coral red cushions and curtains and
white furniture. Round the white
frieze of this room go tapping large
storks with their delicate red beaks
and legs and their gray tinted plumage.
These appropriate birds were cut out,
colored and pasted up by the young
art student aunt who designed the
whole room.
