C.—GRAVURE SECTION—MARCH 4, 1928, HARMING BEDROOMS 75. WILLIAM JAY » CHARMING BEDROOM rarcly “just happens.” Taste and careful planning enter into its success. Much depends on choosing the right bed—a design not only decorative in itself, but in harmony with all the other furnishings. Each of these three homes has a different decorative scheme, yet for each the Simmons Beds chosen are delightfully appropriate. In Mrs. Rumsey’s French chateau, the Sim- mons Beds are in the smart modern French manner. Mrs. Jay’s bed is distinguished for its dignity and beauty of line. A quaint Colonial “spool’ bed, copied from an historic original is charming in Mrs. Bacon’s Wash- ington home. Simmons Beds are famous for smart mod- ern styles, for reproductions of historic orig- inals. Beautifully made, their carefully grained wood finishes complete the harmony of your room—or chic modern colors enliven it. Being made of metal they are enduring. Their lovely finish will never chip. In furniture and department stores Simmons Beds are $10 to $G60; No. 1581, $32.75; No. 1850, $37.50. Simmons Mattresses $10 to $100; Sim- mons Springs, $7 to $60.

Her fondness for French design is revealed in the superb chiteau just built for her on Long Island, and filled with beautiful furniture brought from France. The “Blue Room'™ in Mrs. Rumsey's French chdteau is decorated in her favorite colors, blue, pink and silver. The taffeta curtains are of a lovely blue a little deeper than the walls. Silver light fixtures and door and window trimming are of original French design. The French embroidered net spreads are white over flesh pink. Very new and smart are the Simmons Twin Beds, Model No. 1581. Mrs. Rumsey says: “They are modern in the French manner; and footless, which I think attractive. Circular headpieces enamelled salmon-pink are most appealing.” Mattresses SLEEP}
