To people who are thinking
of color arrangements-and
who isn't, in these days of
settling new houses and apart
ments-the Louis XVI. Salon
on the Second floor of BEL
MAISON offers some inter-
esting ideas.
For the walls of this room
decorative panels have been
painted of the gardens of Yer
saiLIes, each with their names
in French script-"Le Theatre
dEau-La Fontaine de la
Girandole lie Bassin de
Flore"-etc.
The paIest and the deepest
of the blue greens of these
panels have been repeated in
the woodwork and the tafeta
curtains.
On the floor is a dull null
berry Aubusson carpet; and
rose, ivory and blue have been
used in the furniture.
Bright yellow has been in
troduced in a pair of French
vases filed with opalescent
glass flowers, and yellow lamp
shades have been used on a
pair of tall marble lamps.
Four beautiful crystal ap-
pliques add their special brill
lance, which is as valuable as
color.
Tall stands of ivy have been
placed at the two French win
dows at each side of the mar
bic fireplace. And one likes
to imagine the long windows
at the end of the room open
on a terrace where the owner
of the room might turn from
the gardens of the French
kings to walk among her own
allees of box or cedar.
For curtains in a Spanish
house, BELMAISON has used
old Portuguese printed bed
spreads. of soft yet brilliant
color, and wonderful design.
One of these spreads has a
design of Chinese warriors
performing feats of vaIor be-
fore the eyes of dropping and
admiring ladies.
Another shows, in medal
lions set among its bright
flowers. Louis Napoleon and
the lovely Empress Eugenie,
with the Prince Imperial in
Eaton jacket and round feath-
cred hat. happily unconscious,
at the age of four, of wars and
sad fates.
For Spanish and italian din
ing tables BELMAISON has
made place doiiies from old
lace altar cloths, cut in
squares regardless of the pat
tern, and edged with linen
fringe.
