House and Garden 
covered with a cotton velvet or velour or 
tapestry, as you may desire. I would 
recommend a small figured, dull toned 
tapestry as being particularly attractive. 
The chair to be upholstered with golden 
brown velveteen. Your rugs can be 
either several small Oriental ones, or a 
Royal Wilton in tones of yellows, brow ns 
ivory and green. This latter can be 
bought for about $35.00, 9 x 12 in size, the 
price varying according to the size. I 
would also advise a rug of this descrip¬ 
tion for use in your dining-room, regu¬ 
lating the size by the size of your table. 
You can obtain most attractive simple 
dining-room furniture on Craftsman 
lines at the address I will send you. 
This furniture can be stained to match 
the w oodw ork of your room. The cane 
or rush seats for the chairs are attractive 
and would look well in a room adjoining 
one where much w illow is used, as in your 
living-room. Since you have a wain¬ 
scot of dark oak I would recommend a 
frieze showing wind mills and green 
trees against a vivid yellow sky line, the 
ceiling between the beams to be tinted 
the same shade of yellow. The dra¬ 
peries at the dining-room windows can be 
plain raw silk in yellow, as this w ill serve 
to lighten and brighten the room effec¬ 
tively, as well as harmonize attractively 
with the living-room. 1 would also 
recommend that you have flat cushions 
made for all of your willow chairs. 
These to be caught in with buttons and 
fastened securely to the back and seats. 
I bis gives a much more finished look to 
them and makes the willow equally 
suitable for winter and summer fur¬ 
nishings. 
For the bedroom I would suggest a 
ceiling paper showing garlands of pink 
roses and green leaves, this paper to 
extend down two feet and he cut out on 
lower edge and applied to the ivory 
stripe paper which I recommend for the 
lower wall covering. A rose flowered 
cretonne to be used for over-draperies, 
with embroidered pink and white muslin 
curtains hung next to the glass will make 
effective window dressing and will be 
attractive with your mahogany furniture. 
Either a white Marsedles spread can 
be used on the bed or you can make a 
coverlid of the embroidered muslin, using 
it over white. A flounce just escaping 
the floor can finish the three sides of 
this. A Brussels rug costing about $15 
in two tones of green would look well 
in this room.
