ABSTRACT

The window hangings are of pink satine with a full ruffle of the same at the edge, and pane curtains of white dotted Swiss are placed next the window. Rattan chairs which have grown soiled and yellow, may be given the same treatment, and a high wooden screen, which is sold in the shops for three dollars, may be quite transformed by the use of two or three coats of the paint, with a little gilding here and there. A yellow room may be easily arranged by covering the wall surface with pale yellow paper, and having deep frieze of yellow flowers, daffodils, narcissus, etc., on a cream ground. A bedroom, recently re-decorated, has a simple paper in light olive. A beautiful bedroom, designed during the past winter, is in pale blue and rich purple, a combination very pleasing and effective if the colors are of the just tone.
