ENSEMBLE IDEAS
BECOME POPULAR
Harmony Prevails, but New
Thought Calls for Differ
ent Tones.
~ ONE years ago." says a prom

~ ONE years ago" says q prom
inent furniture buyer and
- decoration authority. "it was
considered quite the only
feasible manner Of furnishing the living
room, to install three pieces of uphol-
stored furniture, all covered in the Sarne
material, In the same coloring.
Although some homemakers follow
this same practice today, most women
prefer to add one chair Of different
color and pattern. being sure to seek
harmony. Still others prefer to have
two easy chairs for him" and "her" in
different tones. They declare that mo-
notony rather than harmony is achieved
with the three-piece matching suite. AS
. matter of fact, the three-piece suite
Is obsolete.
Washington Was Leader.
washington was one of the first
cities in the country to take whole
heartedly to the ensemble idea. In
clothing-shoes, hose, frock and hat in
matching and contrasting shades-the
ensemble idea has gone over in big
way, and it is equally intriguing in fur
niture. Many combinations may be Sc
cured and pleasing effects obtained.
"One method is well favored by many:
Choose a dlvan Of a solid color; choose
q chair which harmonizes with the
davenport in line, but pick out an up
holstery fabric which is of a contrast
ing color, containing a figure (f1oral,
stripe. or checked motif. Choose
second chair which has blending lines,
but q covering which is neutral in color.
or has the tints of both in it.
In accordance with the favored COL
ors Of the season, such a scheme might
be carried out with a green sofa; a
rust-colored upholstered chair for the
man and a figured chair for the woman,
with green background and floral pat
tern of rust. Thus a pleasant color
scheme is achieved, without monotony.
A dominant color is established. A con-
trasting or Complementary hue is given
secondary importance. The third piece
contains the elements of both and ac-
cents the two shades. Another uphol-
stored chair in gold would not detract
from the atmosphere created, nor make
the green or rust too striking.
Period Styles Mixed.
"Green is a cool color; rust is rich
and warm, and colors having these
qualities should be used sparingly and
efficiently. One chair in a solid mass,
with the same tone in the figure Of the
other, scatters the colors sufficiently to
secure pleasing ensemble.
Another ensemble idea which Is
gaining current following, is to choose
q French provincial dining table and
use early American chairs and chest
with it. Or a French provincial chest
may be placed with q New England
table and chairs. There is essential
harmony in the line, woods and finish,
If properly chosen.
"The ensemble applies not only to the
furniture, but to the rugs, lamps. dra-
perieS and backgrounds. If a room is
assembled correctly all of the separate
units will be united in a whole which
Is not only correct, but inevitable.
"ParaphraSing popular song, we are
only human after all. It is human to
assemble harmonious units. Let US get
together those pieces of furniture and
the accessories which seem TO belong
to each other"

BROWNS AND TANS
FOR PUBLIC ROOMS
Community Center Decorating
Should Be Arranged to Appeal
to Young Minds.

In decorating the social rooms Of the
community center or the social rooms
Of the modern church the important
thing to keep in view is that the back
ground must be made to appeal to
young minds, which are especially at
tracted by pleasant surroundings. While
grown-ups participate in the activities
of the social center, religious or civic,
the primary reason for its existence is
to provide legitimate recreation for
young people.
The browns and tans, which have
long been accepted as the best wall
colors for any kind Of public rooms, are
giving place to more cheerful though no
less dignified color And while colors
should be subdued and conservative.
especially in the social rooms OF the
church, they can nevertheless be cheer
flIl and gracious. A little study Of the
principles OF decoration will help to
make them inviting and hoSpitable
looking.
As cheerfulness depends 30 much
upon color, only light colors should be
used. II the social or community room
has o northern exposure, light, warm
color, such as a very pale-grayed orange,
q sunny yellow, a deep ivory or very
light apricot, will make 1t seem warm
and pleasant even on dreary days
Cooler colors, light greens, grayed light
blues or blue green's, are satisfactory
for the room with southern exposure.

AVERAGE HOUSEWIFE
NEED NOT BE "SLAVE"
Thought, Good Taste and Judgment
Make the Home q Work
of Art.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes once
characterized the average housewife as
"a married maid of all work"
The woman with creative imagina-
ton need not come under this category,
according to leading economists. A
home full of agreeable things Is pleas
ing TO most women, and is fine inter
probation of good taste and judgment
possessed by the homenaker.
The woman who loves her home as
she does her children usually gives 1t
the thought and attention it deserves
Consequently, that home is real work
of art, and contains the finest thought
care and furnishings that woman can
give 1t.
