TN YOUR new arrangements for
Spring. you will probably redec-
crate many rooms. Why not enlist
the aid Of the Orchard & Wilhelm
Co.'S decorating department? Expert
collaboration of this kind Is absolutely
free and does not In any way obligate.
And speaking Of decorating-you
really should see the exquisitely blend
Cd combinations Of colors noted In
the new cretonnes at Orchard & Will
helms. 1t is worthy of comment to
tell you how appropriately and dis
creetly these cretonnes are used for
bedrooms in box-pleated valences, for
curtains. and slip covers for the fur
niture that can be taken off and
washed. And I do want to mention,
too, the dainty new voiles with COL
ored borders and marquisettes for bed
room curtains.
