For this gradual furnishing of
the bedroom, beds by Simmons

Built with . sturdiness which

DEOPLE seldom realize how
much color means in the
- bedroom. Unconsciously it
affects ones waking thought, and
at night, when the light is about
to be turned off, the last color
upon which the eye has rested
becomes shut in as q good or bad
angel to influence ones dream.
Celors soothe or colofs agitate.
They create harmony or they voice
disturbance. All colors are good
If handled with discretion and
taste-but any color becomes I'M
desirable if thrown into the gem
eral plan of decoration without
reserve and without knowledge.
Certain combinations produce
the feeling of grinding saws
whereas others open vistas Of
rest and peace. Before using
wallpapers and materials, before
determining upon the tonality Of
beds and other furniture, before
assembling chintzes and draper

cision, these color combinations
have become your friends or, IL
badly selected, your enemies. If
at the end of the trial you find
yourself still undecided, seek pro-
fessional advice, and be guided
thereby.
Even when one selects Q pri-
mary color as the general tone of
q bedroom one must not lose sight
of the many shades which are
practically by-products of this
color. Wrong shades may clash
whereas a proper blending may
produce q charming result. For
instance, yellow walls and blue
woodwork are often very effec-
tive in q bedroom but be careful
of the blues and yellows which
are selected. Soft, neutral tones
are usually most desirable.
Suit Color to Temperament
Certain colors seem appropri-
ate for certain temperaments and
certain ages. For children's bed
rooms there should be light, gay
colors-colors which suggest
dancing steps and rippled laugh
ter. But ] do not believe that at
any time bedrooms should be dull
and sombre. Old age needs light
and brightness even in the au-
tumn of life. The primary colors
can be softened and appropriated
to that mellowness which age
should suggest. The hair may be
gray but nevertheless it can be
silver sheened.
Greens properly used are in
variably safe to conjure with.
When Ged in His infinite wisdom
threw q mantle Of green over
earth and forest, how marvellous
was His choice! Driving along
the country highways in the
months of May and June, what is
more powerful to heal the tired
soul and the careworn mind than
these avenues of spring green?
