C., SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1935. - ~ this might be your home made fresh, gay d charmingly livable for Spring with by WOODWARD & LOTHROP Color—what an ally—how generous, how imaginative —how original one may be in using color in Spring decorating plans.

White persists, but is now combined with vivid accents. Yellow glows everywhere and we prophesy lots of pink. Blue is important—a dark, bright blue of the new cool shade known as “stratosphere.” Dark walls are increasingly popular—brown, plum, elephant gray, navy, olive and emerald. New color combinations that you will see this Summer—flame, brown and white; brown with silver and pink; olive green, chartreuse and yellow; plum with pink.” It does make one eager to begin. ...about STYLE and- FURNITURE *“A charming room can be achieved by mixing several periods.” The room sketched shows this to smart advantage. ‘‘Pure modern is gathering unto itself charm in color and a feeling of elegance.” If you crave feminine flutter, Victorian decorations beckon you on. Early American is as good as ever." And everywhere you will see the streamlines—the glint of metal—with bright fabricoid coverings. The furniture floor (sixth) is crowded with grand examples. ...about FABRICS Designs are bolder—colors clear and strong. There are glorious chintzes to frame your windows in cool simplicity. There are stylized floral patterns—period designs in modern manner. Sheerer and sheerer grow the glass curtains—open mesh cottons—rayon chiffons—coarse fish-net meshes—organdies that take their colorful stripes from Guatemala. And a few dos for you—"Do cover your chairs—do cover them differently—do something about cornices—do consider Venetian blinds.” ...about YOUR FLOORS “Texture is all important”—shaggy effects, tufting, embossed surfaces —all manner of weaving tricks. New broadloom carpets triumphs in color. Modern designs in the Summer types—clear-cut—vivid—Sisal, very popular—stripes—plaids—classic motifs. Here are all manner of smart schemes under foot. Particularly bright and new, the Highland plaids in basket-weave fiber. You can choose simply glorious colors— in all the sizes—from $2.50 for 30x60 size—to $11.95 for a room- size rug. ... briefly about LAMPS The classic motif continues—white lamps make smart accents—crystal enters the picture in clever ways. China lamps choose flowers, mostly raised, for decorations. Shades have a very new fresh look, too— cotton lace—striped and dotted marquisette, checked organdie—little organdie ruffles. And, of course, clair de lune—so terribly smart, and you can wash it. ... about Woodward & Lothrop Services Our Home Improvement Service —is ready to measure your home for a whole new Spring outfit—or perhaps it is just Venetian blinds you want— new screens—awnings—or a screened- in-porch (like adding another room for Summer).
