Furnishing the Window Space.

I can remember. The thin taffeta
pillow In an orange color matching
the orange OF the satecn is always
ready to tuck behind tired Shout
ders. So take hint and see that
you too have an extra pillow or two
about, which not only provides a
spot Of color for the room, but
which gives great deal OF comfort
as well.
Another interesting detail to note
Is the window treatment. Heavy
striped linen forms the side drap-
cries, while the valance Is OF Tolle-
de-Jouey, thnt printed fabric which
so charmlngly depicts old scenes
with figures in them. and which
was so popular during the days OF
