The white ruffled curtains and bed cover are in keeping with the simplicity 
of this little room furnished mainly with furniture painted a deep cream color 
with a wide band of pale mauve. The bed and little table are in walnut fin¬ 
ish and there is a gray chintz with a bold pattern design in mauves and blue 
with a touch of burnt orange used at the window and on the over-stuffed 
chair beside the table

An alternate suggestion for chintz 
for this little room is an all-over 
flower design in gay tones of 
blue and rose on a white glazed 
background. 30 ", $ 1.35 a yard 
This chintz comes in a gray 
ground, a dull blue or a deep 
terra cotta; the design, delicate in 
mauves, blues and green, has a 
touch of burnt orange. 31 ", $ 2.40 
are of cream colored net and then, instead of 
the usual banal shades, there are delicate 
mauve crepe georgette curtains made to draw 
and shut out the light. The furniture is in 
dull finish mahogany of excellent design and 
there are one or two painted pieces used with 
one chair covered in a vivid apple green satin. 
The plain paneled walls are painted a deep 
fawn color and the carpet is a dark shade of 
mauve. Though this room was planned for 
dressing room, boudoir and bedroom in one, 
the suggestions are equally applicable for three 
separate rooms. 
The dressing table placed in its well cur¬ 
tained niche is a study in line and symmetry 
in itself. It has been so placed that one may 
have plenty of light by day and there is also 
adequate evening light provided by the two 
small lamps. The treatment of the triple win¬ 
dow with a single shaped valance following 
the line of the architecture is worthy of par¬ 
ticular note, as it is the kind of problem which 
so frequently has to be solved. 
There is great dignity and charm in the ar¬ 
rangement of the furniture so that one is given 
a sense of space and comfort. A well stocked 
writing table has not beeri forgotten, nor the 
essential reading lamp next to the bed and even 
a screen to cut off annoying draughts, which 
is such a necessity, has not been overlooked. 
Another very much simpler room, but one 
which I think will meet the requirements of a 
great many people is carefully planned with 
a view to both comfort and beauty despite a 
limited purse. The furniture which may be 
had in any color desired is of good design and 
I saw it most effectively painted a very deep 
cream with quite a wide band of delicate 
mauve and a small floral design. With most 
of it done in this fashion, it would be wise to 
have one or two pieces in the natural walnut 
finish, such as the bed and the little table 
shown in the illustration.
