SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1924. y Well, then imagine too how delight- fully wistarian Venetian scent bo’ Silk Fall - Frock You-can imagine the charm of green ‘framed mirrors, each hang- ing over a chest of ivory, can't you? Where its soft glow tles and candlesticks would look on these ivory chests. A chaise longue repeated the toil djoury as did the windo They were grace itself. A great sweep of black and white was draped back to one side of the arched top and held high with a tie back. From under it and swept to the other side was green taffeta trailing to the floor. And all this against canvassed walls painted the softest of orchid tints! One could go on adding one whol- ly delightful room to another. But lest the reader be wearied we cease, and beg that “your conscience be your guide.” For comfort, did we hear you #ay? Well, comfort is largely spelled in terms of arrangement,—that is, of course, after you have selected deep cushions and softly padded uphol- stery.. By arrangement we mean carefully adjusted lights, tables placed in easy reach, a day bed along side a desk with a lamp placed ill assist one And then, too, a snug grouping of chairs about the fireplace. One of the new living room ar- rangements, arising from the dis- pensing with formalities is the omis- sion of a dining room. We eat in the breakfast nook or’in the living room itself. . Reconciling Two Types. Thereby ariseth a new decorating problem, How shall the twotypes of “furniture be reconciled ‘ and blended so that there be no sharp and unpleasant jump from the one who reclines and rea to the other?

A gateleg table with a lanp and a vase of flowers, an open cupboard with cot- tage china on its shelves and four straight chairs comprised the” set. ‘As for the rest of the living room it simply went on being a comfortable rt of centerpiece.

Overstuffed chairs covered. with striped mohalr,~and a divan.com- pleted the fireplace group. A slightly unusual effect was pro- duced by placing short rather than a long table at the back of the divan at elther end of which stood Queen Anne chairs, One was.covered with brocade, the other with English em- broldery. A long table—a davenport table if you Mke, held a place against the wall. Above it hung a handsome print, beautifully lighted by a pair of table lamps made of glass, their shades, pleated ribbons in tones of green. Room of Cheerful Manner Another living room would adapt itself merely to the idea of ing. Someway the whole room you an impression of merriment,—a cheerful and laughing hospitality. It might be called the Chintz room, I think, for its walls were covered with a tiny patterned floral design on cloth, too, not on paper, Appropriately the over drapes at the windows-were a plain color,—too much pattern would ruin the room. But the color was galoty itself, red blazed chintz which was subtly re- Peated on the opposite wall, in its reflection in a large mirror.

We felt so glad the oldest girlie d‘dn't seem to feel a bit repentant but held up her tiny chin firmly as to say, “now let the heavens descend. I say it was worth it.” It must 6 been especially daring in those Victorian days. You can understand that such a picture would-inspire one to fur- nish a room,—well — independently at least A pair of sconces lighted the pic- ture which hung over a chifforobe of Queen Anne walnut.
