The field army of these seven

workers be sent to France at the

nerves come from faulty home color
schemes and interiors, and here is
the way she developed her ideas.
If the restful interior, with its

for the shattered nerves of peace

sary to keep taut nerves of these war
days strong to endure?
The rug is the basis of the color
scheme. If it carries the dominant
note the few repetitions of the color
necessary to make each room a
charming whole are slight.
Starting with the right rug, all
that is left to do is a small matter

cushion and the eyes will find rest
