SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 0, 1925 The color red has been con dered an active color, if not a vio- lent one. Some of vs remember hwhen) it quite usual.to see an entire room paperesl in a ,perfectly shouting red, a strong, harsh, star- ing color. Peoplé must have quar- reled and fought in such rooms, and yet no one stopped to ¢c lame. before the “subconscious” and “complexes” and “norms.” ‘A reaction. followed and brown be- came a favorite color.

That evening a friend, a decora- tor, called. The decorator glanced once at the fireplace and then deftly selected a chair with Its back to the hearth.

A set of candle sticks that used to be grandmother's were arranged on the shelf below. and thus the dear old white marble fireplace came into its own again. ¢ The candle sticks were Paul and Virginie design,-the decorator said, with thelr quaint crystals hanging over tle.cast-in-brass figures, of the well known lovers,: Mother wanted to know if Eloise had any othet suggesions, and as for the mantle in her own bedroom she thought {t was Louls the Steenth and what should go on it? “Well for your bedroom there are several possible arrangements,” Eloise said. A palr of Chinese jars on teakwood stands, below an oval mirror, or below an antique glass, if you have one would be good..

The chintz may very happlly repeat its gay color at the window and in the covering of one overstuffed chair. A Colonial room this, as you may easily guess, and a fireplace would be pleasant, as in the old days, it was a necessity. And a spinning wheel at one side would seem quite right wouldn't it? Above the man- tle a large mirror should hang and a three part set of candlestoicks will properly stand below. There were two favorite designs in the old ghirandoles, Paul and Virginla, and Jenny Lind. The two end sticks held single candles, with hanging ‘ystals, and the center one was ar- ranged to hold three. Overstuffed Bedroom Chair At the foot of the bed a dear old overstuffed chair in blue would be- jong, with a fat cushion in blue on the floor in front of it. A, pleasant tulip pattern would be prim and dig- nified on the walls, with framed prints of ships. Between the wins dows a banjo clock might hang above a small maple table. If ‘one's tastes turn toward the French periods, instead of the Co- lonial, a Fragonard print makes = good starting point from which to advance and create a sophisticated bed room with furniture of rase- wood and walnut. Tan and green upholstery, grey paper, gréen rug, these combine with a chaise lounge and a bronze and onyx mirror, to produce a room unusual and digni- fied. A sunporch with a strong French feeling is new. Of course it would want wicker pieces, and these paint- ate, set on a separate shelf, a bit higher than the mantle woyld be good, with a pair of ola is candle | sticks on the main shelf." | “And while I think of it,” she con- inued,” I saw just the thing today or the wall of your staircase, It 5 a beautiful Persian embroider- ed hanging, with the most exquisite designs I stood there and raved bout the lovely color in it and the | n saw I was Interested and told me it was all symbolic.

After I had collected a cop- per kettle, a rod with a heavy chain on which to hang pots, a fire- Ughter, and a basket of wood to go in the hearth, I had to study quite a while to find the right thing to put over the mantle, “Now,” sald the decorator, “hav- ing told you all I know, I'm going home!” “All right, if you mu sald | Mother, “but don’t forget to send us the Persian embroidery and {te complete history, so when we have dull guests to entertain, we can get even with them, by explalning every detail of the symbolism.” “Why, Mother!" sald Oldest Broth: er, “I wouldn't have thought that of you! Besides (to Eloise) you needn't bother too much. What ten't in your outline of its meaning, I'll make up and then it will be more original.

Bright Colors Prevail One thinks of sunporches and breakfast rooms almost in the same breath, as it we For the gayest of colors may here abide. Perhaps when a family is so unfortunate as to possess a before-breakfast grouch, the gay colors will be able to dis- pose of it. The following recipe for a break- fast room should have some effect on that grouch, but, as to the na- ture of that effect, no guarantee Is offered. Take four chairs of red and white wicker and into the back of each deftly set a.basket design, painted In gay colors on wood. Place a painted black table in the center in of these and serve on a rug of col- ored squares of fibre, resembling a patchwork quilt.. Garnish the whole with whipped cream polka-dotted curtains frilled into red window frames. Add cherry colored glass plates to the table, and what fur- ther could be desired.
