NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-BlanKets
IN and comforters are stepping
right along with the march of
things. They're specializing these
days. You'll find lovely feminine
colors and designs meant only for
boudoirs.
And on the other hand, more
neutral shades with no nonsense
about them obviously meant for a
mans room. But in either case,
they make going to bed a pleasanter
chore.
There's no reason in the world
on these cool fall nights why you
can't go to bed as smartly as you
go to party.
Take color, for example. When
you slide under light, coy, mod
ern blanket, you can look as gay as
you look in your evening frocks. In
a luscious rose peach, soft maize,
apple green, rosy lavender, sunny
yellow or sophisticated turquoise.
ComfOrters Are Decorative
If you like flutings and ruffles
on your evening frocks, you'll GER
tainly warm up to new comforters
For they're decorative with just
that sort of trimming and many
others-and there's type de-
signed for every kind of room.
That one we've had illustrated at
the bottom perfect for the
feminine, Frenchy kind of bedroom.
The center is of bright colored
chintz. The border contrasts and
each corner has perk taffeta bow.
Edged With Pleatings
The other comforter with plain
chintz center and printed border is
edged with little pleatings Splen-
did for an early American bedroom.
You'll find little taSsels, unusual
stitched designs and other ways of
applying ruffles and fittings on
comforters. And, of course, very
simple plain ones.
Plain, that is, in comparison to
the very decorative ones sketched.
Hand or machine quilting usually
decorates them and they're made
of taffeta, satin or sateen in colorS
to go with any bedroom color
scheme.
It's just too bad that blankets
usually are hidden under bed
spreads. Because they're SO good
to look at now.
Plain Clothes Best
Generally it's a matter of color
for the plain coloted blanket is
still the most fashionable.
But patterned blankets are smart
if the pattern is simple and not
too large.
One of the neateSt designs we've
seen is the blanket sketched, with
a scalloped effect on all four sides
and bound in contrasting ribbon.
Unusual block plaids are effective,
too. And there are many stunning
striped borders.
Reversible Ones Good
But to tie up your room color
scheme there's no better kind of
blanket than the reversible one
with one plain color on one
side and another on the other.
All-white blankets are new. Not
the ivory white that beds used to
wear, but real pure white, usually
bound with colored ribbon.
One of the newest has one side of
white and the other side in color.
Eggshell is very smart and new.
And for q mans bed there are
fine masuline colorS such as cedar,
mahogany and beige.
Some new blankets are bound in
fiat crepe instead Of the usual satin.
Others have printed and jacquard
ribbon trims.
Sheets in Ensemble
This business of going to bed
smartly doesn't stop at blankets and
comforts, either. Sheets have
part in the ensemble.
White sheets, of course, are the
most in fashion. But it's smart. too,
to complete your color ensemble
with colored sheets solid col
ors in shade to match or har-
monte with the blankets, or with
white sheets that have wide, colored
hens.
