There is a renaissance in ultra feminine bedrooms for women this autumn.
 Of course it is in line with the new modes in dress, music and manners. The business woman even more than the stay-athomc appreciates the softening influence of womans room. Instead of the "den" of former years that served as living room and sleeping room, as many as can afford it are enjoying the beauties of a very feminine bedroom, with frills dainty curtains, soft pretty colors and even four-poster beds, with canopies. Mothers with adolescent daughters are benefitting by the vogue to try the psychological ef- feet of such gentle" rooms on their girls.
 It is natural that, along with such vogue, Colonial furniture would become ever more popular. Early American pieces fit in just beautifully with g scheme that calls for frilled organdie or dotted Swiss curtains, lowered wall pa per, hooked rugs and delicate col ors such as baby blue, soft rose pink the lightest of greens and buttercup yellow.
 Cost Needn't Be Great
 It is not necessary to spend millions to contrive as artistic a bedroom as any feminine heart would ask. Good taste is the first requisite; the purchase of the nec- essary pieces of furniture and q handy needle to make curtains, slip covers, lamp shades and so on.
 Wall paper is vary important in the new bedrooms. If you want daintily sprigged wallpaper, then It it is wise to choose plain glazed chintz or other types of plain ma terial for the drapes, picking out the wallpapers predominatins tone. By all means have ruffled glass cur- tains, for they add such lot to a rooms softness. And, if possible, do have. drapery valance over the top of the window and the over drapes hang clear to the floor. It makes the window more dignihed.
 For an early American bed room, a four-poster maple bed is used, with a low chest of dr;Awers and mirror for the dressing table and high chest of drawers for more space. Remember, women will need more space this winter, for they are wearing multitude of extra -and-that's that. they did not dream of wearing last year.
 The wallpaper is cream, with tiny sprigs of blue forget-me-nots, with a tiny touch of green leat. The chair in the corner is covered with glazed chintz in blue-gree pattern and the over-drapes are ed rugs on the floor have some blue and much green in them and in addition sprinkle the gaiety of several tones of pink into the room, The dresser lamp and the corner reading lamp both are parchment, the former with de- sign like the wallpaper and the latter depicting an old-fashioned garden scene.
 SiIhouettes Are Smart
 With fhiS 5rnccv ronr, rotb ing in the way of pictures is love- Her than the note introduced by good silhouettes. If you have any old-timers in the family, dig them out and have them framed in the narrowest of frames. If your fam lily possesses none, you can pur- chase quantities. already framed, that are quaint, many of them amusing, even.
 Your bedspread can be fashion, cd of dotted Swiss, like the frilled glass curtains, and made over blue, or if that is too dainty for your tastes, you can make one of the glazed chintz of your over drapes, with a big medallion in design of black and white in the center.
 This is merely one room of hum dreds of combinations possible this fall. If pink becomes you more than blue. try a pink scheme. To be successful, woman's bed room should be the most flatter- ing of backgrounds. She sees her self there first thing each morn ing. Her entire behavior through the day is apt to reflect just how the room set her off. No effort should seem too much to perfect the proper setting.
