it a tl tela Ss Speaking of personality, suppose We were to start with cases. A room properly decorated {s an instant develation of the tastes of its owner. Take this one, a bedroom. A single bed has its side to the wall above it in the center hangs a large embroidered tapestry and at the head stands a table with a lamp on it. The bed is entirely covered with green novelty cloth, Across, between two windows stands an antique table with drop leaves, one of the sturdy sort that has served in peasant cr farm kitchen. Over the table are hanging bookshelves. The window usual in treatment, having a ed metal lambrequin from which hang printed linen curtains on rings that slide on a pole. The floor is covered with dull red and black Iinoleum with a sing‘ed rug in front of the bec, On one side of the room fs a large desk across from it ts a dresser with triple mirrors. The prints on the wall are gay in color, are caricatures of feminine fash- ions. rs A HeMan‘s Room Now, then whose room is this? it's a man’s room, that's And not an ardinary man— many men are obilvious of rroundings and know a s chair and a smoking stand and that's all No, this r is a regular he-man and has about him things he wants to use in a perfectly practical way But he has some taste, some sensi ss to surroundings (one sees at in the color chosen), Mkes to be well-groomed (that is to'’d by the triple mirrdr, wants to sit on the table and not have to snap under him, and likes to read In bed. (His lamp i set exactly right for that and sheds plenty of light.) You have only to look at his room to rea’ tt strong characteristics. is what we mean by per. sonality in decoration. How shall ycu create it? Let your own personal tastes, your pet activities your artist!c expres- sion, music drawing, sewing—what ever it is, be shown forth in prac tical and tasteful arrangement. Ané your room will be a'lve—a reflec tion of your individuality. Can't you tell a number of def inite traits character by thir room? Here It is. Brief Notes On Fumishing Modem | Home As a foreword let us say a few words as to the treat of home furn- ishings. Some few years ago homes were furnshed in whut at that time we called style changing as often as wearing apparel with the seasons. It has changed until this year more than ever before homes are being furnished for convenience of those that dwell there-in in a common sense pratical way. The Dining Room. Though the lines of the new furn iture are simple there is just enough trimming here and there to take away from that plain look. Walnut seems to be gaining favor over Ma hogany though the later is still pop- ular. The Living Room. How different from a few years ago, Here one must avold same. ness. Chairs must be as unlike each other as possible yet there must be haymonious blending of them all ‘The new three piece sets consists of two chairs and a davenport. A chair and davenport *alike an odd rocker of an entirely different design. Gato teg tables are always correct also octaggon stationery tops are not only useful but add much to any liv: ing room. The Bed Room. ‘There 1s two things most desir- able in the bedroom—distinctiveness and restfulness. Both are combined in the new suites. Walnut being the most popular though a great deal of brown mahogany and fancy finishes are in demand. Do It Right. When furnishing your home —do ft right. Do not hurry when mak ing selections in your ¢ your rooms It ter to eat on a soap box cor two longer than to discover you do not like your dining room sulte after you have bought and paid for it in regret later on. Good quality furn. iture is cheapest in the long run and can be very reasonable. Furniture as in good clothing may contain very inferior grade of mater. fal on the inside. Buy from your home dealer on his guarantee com bined with that of some reliable magufactvrer who {3 not ashamed to put his name on hig own product Twin Beds of Ivory. The very first impression is that of ruffles, not very fluffy, —bit restrained ruffles, as it were. The twin beds are painted with gold, dulled to a deep ivory, with panels of flowers at head and fost. Each bed has its lavender taffeta spread, a single deep ruffle on either side edged with green. In one corner an upholstered chaise-longe is lighted by a reading ‘amp whose shade is dainty in lavender and green geor- gette. In the opposite corner fs an oval table on casters matching the other pieces in color. On it is a breakfast set oP yellow and black china. There are three fine large dress- ers least one {s a dresser with a hang'ng mirror, another is a yan- ity case, and the third is a chiffo- robe. On each are bits of Venetian glars. Between the beds is a night table with a bit of Dresden made into a lamp. At the high windows hang raped curtains of printed /and striped green taffeta. Need you any further tntroduc- tion to the owners and thelr tastes? Other types of rooms are equally revealing and sat’sfying. Charming Breakfast Rooms. Two, charming breakfast come to mind.
