You will notice a good piece « . material is advised, as it is seldom 1t the design or the color happens to be correct in a poor piece of ma- 1 'rial. This does not, of course, mean tiiat the material must be expensive.

In this room the walls were painted a soft cream and the woodwork covered with a soft glaze to glve it an interesting antique appearance. On the floor a ru~ of deep mauve, almost an eggplant color, was used. The curtains were of biue- green, edged with a narrow fringe of soft crimson for accent.
