The Painted
Bed Accents
the Bedrooms
Color Scheme

NoLoR is everywhere these
days-it has invaded our
- kitchens and bathrooms; It
gambols through our linen closets
leaving its gay mark. And rs for
our bedrooms-here we may let
our rainbow fancies roam and in
dulge in o lovely riot.
That is why 30 many clever
women are choosing a painted bed
for the center of the bedrooms
decorative scheme. 1t sings q gay
note OF color that calls forth many
pretty harmcnies. And the new
painted beds that Simmons are
making this year are SO lovely
that they have already inspired
hundreds Of charming rooms.
For the room in the large pic
ture a Simmons painted bed in
a lovely blue green was chosen
the color Of deep water on a sandy
shore or Of wooded hills in the first
blue hints of an autumn twilight.
1t is most effective against q
wallpaper backgrounds rustic
scene in green on white-the
same cool green of the bed. The
beige bedspread is of rayon.
The windows are curtained in
sheer salmon pink with French
Grapes Of deeper rose. A pink
china lamp with a pleated rose
shade supplies a further accent
Of color. Books in their own bind
ings, bright flowers and q pert
green and cream awning-striped
screen complete a gay ensemble
a bedroom inviting and colorful.
And though you can't see them
now when the bed Is dressed for
daytime, the damask-covered
B~eautyrest Mattress and Ace
Box Spring, also by Simmons,
help carry out the color scheme
for they are covered In u cool,
sea foam green. The owner Of this
lovely room proudly feels that no
little touch that viii add to its
charm has been overlooked.
For furnishing the Clubhouse
Of the American Woman's Asso-
citation in New York, Bed No.
1886 was q great favcrite. It
was painted q lacquer red or
other gay %colors, which intensi-
fed the colors of the spreads and
draperies.
Bed No. 1886 comes in lilac,
slate gray, or forestwood walnut,
decorated, or may be painted gay
colors at a slight extra cost.

Long Island, Mrs. Charles Carey

Around them grew q lovely room

The soft, taffeta curtains are n

broidered bedspreads are white

If we are interested IN how
these rugs were made, we find
that burlap was used as a foun-
dation, or home spun linen, in
some cases loosely woven wool.

might be. was hooked through in
a pattern which the maker her
self created.
The early designs were taken,
of course, from the scenes of daily
life - flowers, animals, houses,
figures. all appeared in the early
rugs. The geometric designs came,
in all probability. in n later period
and one sees in some Of the larger
rugs, designs which lead one to
think that the maker was proba-
bly, copying the French Aubusson
carpets which at one time were
imported from France.

Even though the people paid for the bottles. they did not return them. This was shown by the fact that a short tinr alter the issuing of the milk checks, the number began to diminish.

WHERE DO EMPTY
 MILK BOTTLES to?
Dealers Suffer Annual S5,O0O Loss From Missing Containers

Milk dealers in this city suffer count of the careless handling or milk bottles. according to statements made by dealers yesterday. They say that the greatest loss milk deal CTS experience is from bottles which are not returned and local dealers are seeking remedy for this con dition
 The dealers say that most bottles are lost through the stores. On e. count of the competition among thH dealers the bottles are not charged for, and often. when people have fin ished the milk the bottle is not re- turned to the store.
 Then, claim the dealers, there is the loss from regular route custom CTS. Some hOusekeepers allow bot ties to collect in corners until they form a large number. Then to be rid of them they throw them in the refuse pile or make use of them for i household purposes. As many as st and 60 bottles have been found in one empty tenement. They are fonnd in the cellars. and often the closets are full of them. Tn dumps mere ] than 100 bottles have been found at 8 time. say dealers, having been 1 dumped there after spring house cleaning,
 1 Each Monday one local company 1 is forced 10 use a new supply of be- 1 ties because the bottles of the pr2: 1 cedirg week have not been returned. i They cost tho dealers about SS a gross. aVcra ging about five cents q bottle. The profit from milk dealing, l one dealer contends, is so small that if ono bottle is lost. it takes the pro- fit from the sale of two quarts ot milk to make mp the deficit. Sunday picnics and motor trips account for q large amount of the weekly short age. People use the bottles on the trips and when they are empty, they are thrown out of tho car at some convenient turn of the road,
 Another cause of shortage. deal ITS claim. is tho sale Of milk to factory workers. One dealer says that re- gently over 600 bottles were takor out of local factory, the consum- CTS having failed 10 return them Tho same dealer tells of a cas' where over 800 bottles were taE"r from an empty tenement on Da! street.
