When God in His infinite wisdom
threw a mantle Of green over
earth and forest, how marvellous
was His choicel 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?
Can you image the effect il we
were dashed past vivid reds or
aggressive oranges instead?
Remember that it is in the bed

from your bedroom you take
your morning inspiration and
your nightly benediction.

Color in the

Elsie de Wolfe, now Lady
Mendi, the best known woman
interior decorator ia America.
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 of, the last color
upon which the eye has rested
becomes shut in as a good or bad
angel to influence ones dream.
Colors soothe or colors agitate.

If handled with discretion and
taste-but any color becomes un-
desirable il thrown into the gen.
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
les, select samples or have these
submitted to you.

Know Your Colors

Live with them a while. Look
mt them in the early morning
light, gaze at them as twilight
falls, become familiar with them
so that when you do arrive at
a decision, these color combina-
tions have become your friends
or, If badly selected, your enemies.
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
