favorably the arms holiday in its rev

they should not accept a proposal which

The silver screen yielded to
the golden notes of opera Tues
day night, and gorgeously
gowned women, accompanied by
smart-looking men in the cor

into a glamorous fashion revue.
And, after the fashion of our
new modes, each woman wore
a distinctive gown, an individual
costume. "a refreshing depart

Black was next, sophisticated,

pink next. Colors we're used in
combinations of two and three
different shades.

with a short evening wrap of

were seen, too, and were espe-

and one of the most attractive
seen was a green silk quilted
wrap worn over a gown of white
lace.
Gloves were worn by so

Decorating The Den
By DOROTHY J. MILLER

a COMFORTABLE chair and
~ an entertaining book are ideal
L Acompanions but they some
times need the assistance OF seclu-
sion. Or if there is work to be done
after Office hours or financial mat
tiers to be attended to, the living
room is seldom the best place in
which to look after these interests
The head of the family who has
den of his own will echo these
sentiments. He knows how invit-
ing such place can be when his
wife is entertaining at bridge in
the living room or his daughter is
hostess to her high school sorority.
Ii there is one small room in the
house in which striking color Ell
fects are permissible, it is the den.
which may be as masculine as its
occupant desires. Roomy chairs.
upholstered in red, green. blue or
brown. are among the first requi-
sites for this little room. Proper
lighting is also important since
considerable reading or writing
may be done within its comfort
able confines. 1t is advisable to
supplement reading lamps with a
wall color that reflects the greatest
quantity of light. Cream. pinkiSh

gray and a soft green all have suf-
hcient reflective value and any one
OF he three will probably harmon
ize most attractiyely with the
chosen furnishings.
Built-in bookshelves are also
essential. If the room is small, the
shelves may be constructed at
points where they do not seem to
decrease the proportions OF the den
beneath the windows. over a
radiator. across one corner or be-
tween two windows in an area that
is too small for any furniture.
Lacquer makes an excellent FIN
ish for the woodwork and the furni-
ture of a den because of the strik-
ing effects that it achieves. Ii the
den is not naturally sunny. red lac
quer for the wood trim and few
pieces OF the furniture. such as
table, magazine holder or a foot
stool, would be effective. LACQUER
dries rapidly so that the room could
be used within a short time after
the last stroke OF the brush has
been given. OF all the rooms in the
house the den should be fash
roned to suit the individual tastes
and needs OF the one who will use
it most.
