Are you putting your house in the mood of summer? 
I 
Between meals the dining room of the 
larger country houses assumes an air of 
dignity befitting its furnishings. Along the 
refectory table is spread a strip of brocade 
of a color that tones in with the upholstery 
and hangings. It is bound with galloon that 
has been antiqued. Wrought iron candela¬ 
bra stand at either end,silhouetting against 
a mellow tapestry or paneled wall.

Once, spring merely meant get¬ 
ting down the screens from the 
attic, and ordering a dozen sets 
of slip covers. 
Now, to discriminating people, 
it means infinitely more—it 
means putting one’s entire house 
in the mood of summer.

FURNISHING 
Number 
MAY 
is crammed with information on 
just exactly how you can most 
successfully accomplish that end. 
Perhaps you’ve just bought ’’The 
Four Winds” on the foreshore 
beyond the summer colony, and 
want to furnish it throughout in 
harmony with the wind-blown 
dunes and the great grey-green 
Atlantic. 
Or perhaps you decided last 
autumnthat jolly old ’’Week-End 
House” really must have a 
thorough going-over this spring. 
Or perhaps you’re just eager to 
change your same familiar rooms 
from the mood of open fires to 
the mood of summer morning 
breakfasts on the piazza.
