spreads for bed and white dresser covers
What shall I use? Dining room, west;

cobean; rug, Khiva- Use tinted marqui-
sette curtains close to glass with rod
at top and bottom. Want to change

mulberry velour edged with black fringe,
to match rug. which is a very pretty
black. red and very dark blue-red the
predominating note Large Satsuma
punch bowl, plate and teapot of same,
only articles on view in dining room.
What kind Of cover shall use? Use now
on table. crash runner embroidered with
large American Beauty roses and finished
with black fringe; bowl Of flowers. Could
use cretonne valance with good effect
in dining room? Have in mind cream
ground, black scattered all over pattern
and red roses. hope you can make some
thing out Of this. Lace window shades in
living room and bedroom. E B. w.
The wall paper sample which you have
inclosed you have marked for the living
room so 1 suppose that you have already
decided on the wall covering. AS gray pre-
dominates in the paper 1t will do nicely.
but I think that with your oriental rug
you would probably find a~plain gray
more restful. Have plain blue 'hangings
in this room. You have not mentioned
In what direction your parlor faces. II
It calls for a warm scheme, 1 would sug
gest violet, as that color will draw
nto harmony the rose and the blue. Use
lavender draperies and cushions. In the
west bedroom use figured cretonne con-
tanning blues and lavenders. Use tailored
bedspreads of O plain blue and upholster
the chair in the same plain shade. For the
draperies in the dining room do not use
gold, as this would be too warm color
scheme for a western exposure. and also
when the side draperies match the wall
color the effect is monotoaous. would
suggest either a gray-green, bringing in
some gold in the valance, or cool law
ender. Use on the table a runner made
of linen the same color as the side drap-
cries that you use.
Dear Miss Walsh kindly advise me
what color a bedroom should he tinted
which has one window facing north. II
have an oak dresser and rocker and would
like to know what kind of bed to get, as
want it to be s-s inexpensive, as possible.
Also advise il II would be we'll to use
cretonno curtains and shirtwaist cover
with a little color in tho shade OF the
walls. M. IT.
