Where closet room is lacking, and; sometimes also where it is plentiful, (p"n shelves are often one of the archi- tectural features of a room. It is usually the task of the occupant and not the designer of the house to make b feature pleasing to the eye. Not is it possible to have such contain things beautiful in themselves, vet, even so, it is not decorative. If the shelf to be con: ne is more fortunate There was a period in Ameri- | hitecture whenshelves of the nce. 1If the shelf or mantle full of gewgaws can be supplanted by a plain cne, though jt be but a plain painted . the decorative possibilities are The shfllf treatment advocated today is cspecially appropriate in bedroom: pullman dining rooms and the living rooms of such informal homes as are of cottage nature or of old-fashioned de- sign reflecting the colonial. It is charming in Southern bungalows where eretonnes and chintz flourish inside, n as the flowers do out. In other . it is for these places where ess rather than formality is the The shelf or shelves are given a rder of figured glazed chintz of di- utive patt The lower edge is shallow scallop, which, if he material mentioned is used in a fne quality, will not fray, and there- re requires no further finish. It is ut on perfectly plain, and for the “xe of firmness the upper edge is in as it is secured to the shelf be- | vond possibility to have the shelves | re | may be of delft blue and white to con- BE DECORATED AS edge by means of ecither thumb tacks | |or tiny tacks of the regulation sort in aluminum finish. Small brass | headed nails supply a decorative touch which may be added if it is in keep- | ing with the material and color scheme to have them. The edge of the valance | is flush with the edge of the shelf, not | protruding into the depth of the shelf at all. For a_pullman dining room, done in | | blue and vellow. the shelves themselves | may be painted blue, and the valance trast with vellow tableware, or the val- ance may be of yellow if the tableware | is blue. | Book shelves in a bedroom or boudoir | may be decorated as described, having the fabric which adorns them also | supply material for curtains to hang | either side of the open shelves, to be closed when the room is swept, or for | other occasions at need. The ecre- tonne or chintz may be identical with | that used in the rest of the chamber {if the figure thereon is small. Large | figured materials are not suitable to use || | for shelf valances. The mantle of the informal living room may lend itself to t treatment |if it is one of the plain white variety |in a room of severe simplicity or colo- {nial trend. Imagine a room with cur- tains hung Dutch style at the windows, | with the separate upper and lower por- tions of figured chintz, some simple pieces in the way of furnishings and a plain mantle with a shallow valance of the style mentioned, bearing two tall, | old-fashioned_candlesticks whose can- | dles reflect the color of the figure in the chintz. For a bedroom mantle such | treatment is highly appropriate. | (Copyright. 1928.) 5201 Colorado Avenue N.W, Corner Hamilton Street ving Fashionable 16th St. bome is off of like character in this exclusive section. nter Entraj 10 Room:— Ir Beautift 2-Car Built-in Garage The grounds have a com!

You've been saying: “I'll wait till houses come down. They are bound to. These high prices can't keep up forever.” This Is a Buyers’ Market. Prices Have Come Down. Everybody Knows It. Homes” like these were bringing from 87,500 to $11,500. You can buy them now from $5,500 to $7,500. Small cash payment. Monthly from $45 to 30 take in principal and interest. Caution! We frankly admit you were clever to wait, but don't overdo the stunt, for you will defeat your purpose. This is positively the year of lowest values. It isn't that material and labor came down, but a great many homes are on the market, and you come in for the builder's profit. Building of small detached homes has practically stopped— SO— It's either buy now at low prices or wait and come back to high figures. Where?
