BRINY BEDROOM
Bv ELISABETH MAY BLoADELL

By ELISABETH MAY BLONDELL
 If you are getting too accustomed to the decorations in the bedroom, it really isn't hard to give it new look without straining the budget. It's a good time to start thinking of summer.
 Ball fringes will be particularly smart-they come in many styles, from plain rows on tape to charm ing pointed effects, in linen crash or cotton materials. | A nice decorator" idea would be a complete bedroom set of spread, window draperies and dressing ta- ble skirts, edged with fringe. A blue set might be edged with pointed white cotton ball fringe-and a popular nautical touch added in white cross-stitch anchor in the center This design may be stamped on with hot iron transfer and worked in large 6-to-the-incn cros- ses with pearl cotton.
 One full width of 36-inch mater ial can usually be used in the center of a spread the seams on each side being covered with a narrow white cotton braid which matches the ball fringe The 21a finch wide fringe is just right. Cross-stitch stars may be added to the bolster and the curtains.
 The cable cord edge is a lively substitute for the fringe, especially with nautical designs.
 For striking effects, the color schemes may be reversed or com bined in other ways, as the ball fringes come in all the popular col ors. Some fringes combine two col- ors.
