NEW YORK, March 14.-Chic
new sofa pillows for spring seem 70
have developed a veritable caste
system.
pillows for the living room are
distinct from those for the sun par
lor: pillows for the boudoir would
never step into the den; pillows Tor
the children's quarters are decidedly
different from those for the draw
ing room and last, but not least,
stravel pillows hold themselves apart,
conscious of the distinction that
their experience lends them.
These seven castles of pillows pre-
sent multitudinous shapes, sizes and
fabrics. All pillows, like Milady's
clothes, show elaboration this sea-
son.
Also, like clothes, they acknowl-
edge the ACCESSIBILITY Of following
the color schemes of a room and
blend, contrast smartly or in other
ways express its feeling"
When UtiI,ty's the Thing
For the living room, pillows take
utility sizes, such as eighteen by
twenty-four inches or seventeen by
seventeen. All the serviceable Sa-
teens, reps. velours, tapestries,
chintzes. hand blocked linens and
other wearable fabrics fashion
these.
They are more apt to be square
or rectangular than fancy shapes.
A beige and brown room, or one
done in taupe Will catch color from
a pair of lacquer red velvet pill
lows with fringe or cordings.
Sun parlors use the most amaZ-
ing array of materials for their
pillows. Oil cloth, glazed chintZ,
rafia embroidered flowers against
black background, modernistic fab
RIGS in studied new shapes, and
geometric pieces Of vari-colored
linen making futuristic effects in
skyscraper design all are appropri-
ate for the sun parlor,
Brilliant COlOrs Used
Brilliant yeIlows. reds, greens and
bright Lido blues or else stunning
black-white schemes against butter
yellow or Jungle green are new ideas
in coloring.
Boudoir pillows are fragile look
ing, quite as delicate and dainty as
Milady herself. Tiny round. square
or triangular pillows come in bun
dies of three, tied with satin RIBBON.
Newer are the washable covers,
such as poIkadOtted organdie, with
fiuted ruffles or hand-embroidered
little bits of pillows. lace dainties or
small patch work ones, done in the
shape of ld-fashioned girls or lit
tie French cuties.
Boudoir pillows match the chaise-
lounge, the bed covers. curtains or
the general color scheme of the
room. Slurred chiffOns are dainty
but perishable.
Pillows for Juniors
Very new and tricky are the chill
dren's pillows that take the shape
and feel of their pet dogs, cats.
rabbits or other pets. Or there are
pillow patterns of little girls and
bows themselves, or square or round
pillows that applique on themselves
such amusing things as a big green
frog watching a fly against a beige
linen background.
There are quaint little patchwork
pillows for children, too, in bright
colers and pillows with ships on
them for boys who yearn to go to
sea.
Pillows for the den are perhaps
the most varied of all, since so
many young folks nowadays have
one-room apartments that feature
this type of room. Most of them
are modern in shape, coloring, gen.
eral tone.
Leather Is Used
Leather pillows. in all manner of
shapes and many OF them mOsaicS
of color, silhouettes of ones favorite
person. hand-blocked linen pillows
of Sky-ines and other modern eff
fectS all are shown for the den.
Drawing room pillows this spring
are regal in their fabrics, using the
lovelieSt of tapestries, fine velvets,
Satins. hand worked pieces Of silk.
They are having a renaissance of
quaint fringed edges. Many of them
show a reviving interest in hand
work and altogether are much dres-
sier than they have been in the
past few years.
