Perhaps several chairs need recov-
ering. In selecting . color soheme
one can start with the rug. a more
or less fixed factor and use colors
from It. One room started with a
tan rug. softly dull with a small pat
tern in it So the overstuffed chairs
were covered to match with a striped
mohair in mulberry and tnupe.
Two great comfy wicker chairs
toned into tho color scheme by
painting themselves in mulberry.
Especially attractive in this room
were several good copies of antiques.
A bookcase with the old broken arch
top reminding one of a secretary
was the first of these and a charm
ing old high boy with the same top
was the second. It had the lowell
est old brass drawer pulls. A third
low. 1t was an old desk. one of
those capacious affairs. with draw
ers clear to the floor.
Window Trimmings.
And as for the window. that had
its very own typo OF treatment.
Scrim glass curtains let in plenty
Of light. while the window was
framed by black glazed chintz cur
tains ruff1ed on the edges. Gay
flowers romped over the back
ground. The full effect of the room
was both quaint and delightful.
Some of us would like this room
and others would enjoy another,
mor exotic. keyed to a vigorous
note. and playing with patterns. It
must have been the gay red frames
of two or three Japanese prints that
started the ball rolling. Red lacquer
furniture followed as q natural Sc

with linen ooiored glazed chintz. A
round table collected books and a

a linen runner embroidered some

And not for q minute could one for
