PARKS The sun shines again and Washington never looked lovelier than right now, with great masses of roses an the trees a brighter green, if that is possible. Up to the present time few housekeepers have felt the urge to take up rugs, put down summer floor coverings and put up the summer draperies. But the warm days are here and one must not delay longer. I never realized that the subject of summer draperies could be so interesting until my visit to the upholstery department, where I found numerous unusual hangings. And there, too, I found the man who is responsible for them—a skilled artisan, a man who goes to your home, examines the decorations and furnishings, and_then makes drawings in colors suitable to the particular home. And one can tell exactly how they will look when finished. Looking over his drawings 1 found a lovely pair of hangings in gold and blue, the valance of blue with long tassels, the sides of gold Sunfast, with dull gold braid fin- ishing. He had just completed an order for these which had not been . delivered, so that a sketch could be made of them. And a sample set will be kept for exhibition pur- poses. Because of my interest, drawing after dralying was brought out, and with the pride of a true artist he ex- plained to me a set of hangings he had designed for a masic room. And a work of art they really are. Thei are unique in every way—particularly in that in eacl one there is a large medallion in the center of which is the picture of one of the famous composers, Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart or Chopin. And another unusual feature is this—if one tires of a picture, the medallion is made in such a way that it may be removed and another pictare inserted. Another pair which was notice- ably lovely was a combination of blue and tan flowered cretonne—the valance of blue with flowers, and the sides of tan with blue strips, all fin- ished with tan fringe. These, too, are sketched. There are dozens of other patterns, all by this same de- signer. If you have some idea of your own and will consult him, he can work it out, assuring you of un- usual hangings which reflect your own individuality. There are all sorts of attractive patterns in cre- tonnes, figured madras and Sunfast drapery fabrics. One that makes up strikingly is a cretonne with pheas- ants in colors, with one large pheasant in the center medallion. The summer curtains are the daintiest, coolest looking things you can imagine. The very newest are white voile with ruffles and tie-backs of bright colors, in blue, maize, pink and orchid. These are also sunfast colors. Others of voile have large dots in colors, or flocks of smaller dots. Summer portieres may be had in crash if you prefer them. They are hand-painted and guaranteed to wash. To match them are pillow tops, table runners, piano scarfs, etc. It is a pleasant feeling to know that one’s lovely win- ter hangings are safe from moths, and nothing better has ever been found than the time-honored cedar chests. Every year brings out new designs with new decorations. A very late one has been sketched. It is 48 inches long and inlaid with a black and white design. There are others with brass trim- . mings, all with an extra bag of cedcr shavings, and whether hangings or your winter furs are stored in them, they come out with a fresh, sweet cedar odor. Floor coverings are so numerous and all are so at- tractive that it is difficult to decide on any one. The new Kimlark summer rugs have created quite a sensa- tion, and are both pretty and durable. They are easily cleaned, and come in many combinations of colors and Chinese designs in soft shades. If one wishes a very novel summer floor covering there are the Decco and Super Decco rugs, all hand- painted in soft, lovely flower tints and patterns. \ For country homes and summer cottages, and for an agreeable change from the rugs, one can find the old - fashioned rag y hand-braided, in colorings to match or harmonize w’lh any decorative scheme. They are lovely, too, in_the small oval shapes for bedrooms and bathrooms. Che- nille rugs in various sizes are always good, give a bright touch of color, and are serviceable as well as decorative. In fact, you will enjoy a visit to the upholstery de- partment, where you will receive courteous attention and suggestions, whether you wish to purchase or not.
