One of the most interesting and
artistic window displays ever shown
to the public will be offered the citi-
zens Of Bogalusa tonight, or tomor-
row, when the curtains are drawn at
taa 8ogalusa Stores Company. 1t
will show what a Bogalusa young
man can do in the way of interior
decorations. The harmony of color
and lighting effects are perfect, and
the dainty pieces Of furnitdres are
exquisite examples of the cabinet
makers art. Julian Willoughby, the
decorator for the Bogalusa Stores, is
the master hand that designed and
executed this beautiful picture.
In the five windows that stretch
from the north side of the main en-
trance will be found tables made of
yellow pine, oil cans that have been
made into most attractive vases,
pieces Of stovepipe that now resem-
BILE expensive Chinese ware, the CELL
ing and flooring, as well as the rugs,
curtains and various ornaments aEe
all from the hand Of Mr.. WilloughDy
It is well worth special trip to
the Bogalusa Stores to inspect this
display. Mr.. Willoughby states that
he took advantage Of the influences
of the French Empire Period in the
design and execution of the painted
furniture.
The Carving
The French carvings and a small
and large moulding were used in the
patchwork on the ceilings. The cell
ings and woodwork are done in old
ivory and the walls are panelled with
cord on burlap in neutral shade.
The floors are finished as a highly
polished hardwood.
The Draperies
The draperies are done in cream
lace over lavender cloth, and the por-
tierres in pearl gray cloth with Law
ender fringe. The same color scheme
is carried out in each wall sconce,
with its lavender shade and laYens
der silk tassel made on an ivory ring.
The Rugs
The rugs are made Of, a very heavy
crash in neutral shade, and raveled
and braided with taupe silk in the
same design as the ceilings.
The Furniture
One arrangement consists of two
pieces of painted furniture done in
tones of old ivory and brown, with
small French carvings, and uphol-
stored in taupe velvet In this same
window is a hand-painted brass floor
lamp, wrought in the design Of a lily
stem surmounted by one lily leaf
and shade made of taupe crepe
over deep purple silk, decorated with
small gray and pink silk roses.
Another arrangement consists Of
two carved top drop-leaf tables with
black painted tops and old blue legs.
Each table holds a gold cloth cover
and a gold candlestick, with a blue
candle. Above each table hangs
sepia etchings with carved gold
frame.
III the corner window is an ar
rangement of a chair and two tables
in sage green, with lavender and
black decorations. The chair is up
holstered in purple brocaded satin
and the small table is upholstered
with strips of lavender velvet The
large table is finished with polished
black TOD and uOlQs runner HlaAS
of bottle-green velvet combined with
tapestry. On this table is arranged
bowl of sweet peas and ferns and
small gold lamp with a shade made
of tiny lavender silk ruffles over
light green and decorated with Law
ender silk tassels.
The flowers used in these windows
are especially worth mention. There
are two tall hand-painted vases, one
holding American Beauty roses and
ferns and the other one filled with
lavender chrysanthemums and ferns.
There are also two Oriental jars, one
painted in the shades Of blues with
touches of dark green, and the other
painted in red, orange, yellow and
blue. The blue jar is filled with
Palmer violets and the yellow one
with scarlet peoples and ferns. On
each window mullion is a wall pocket
made Of straw and filled with sweet
peas and ferns.
