She explained the reason
for the change. Mrs. Ken

ture upholstery would re-

copied from a historic piece
of silk from the early 10Th
century.
The blue brocade with the
the gold emblem now in the
Blue Room will be replaced
by handsome white silk with
a white satin stripe. But she
specified that the curtains
will be blue and the uphol-
stery and the covering on the
table in the center of the

The new blue fabric will
have a gold and white en-
blem in the design of an
eagle inside a laurel wreath.
The emblem was copied from

Personally, I think Mrs.

a favor by making these
changes. Encased in solid
blue walls with a busy gold
pattern, the Blue Room has
lacked the subtle charm its
shape, elegance and history
merit. Its decor has been
too obvious. hence unflatter-
ing to the guests who gather
there. And few housewives
or decorators will disagree
with Mrs. Kennedy for pre-
ferring the soothing color of
moss green to the harsher
vibrant green now in the
Green Room.
Yet a lot of people will
scream just because they are
against change.
