Two of the most interesting things in the very in¬ 
teresting group of furniture below are the small green- 
painted stands at either end of the davenport. Their 
story briefly stated is—from sewing-boxes to cigarette 
tables. The table at the left of the picture is made 
from an old tray. The mirror is antique Italian. Miss

Themselves invested with a princely splendor, gorgeously decorated 
Venetian antiques require a background almost austere in its sim¬ 
plicity. In the room shown beloiv the commode is painted black, the 
desk red and the chair bluish green, the wall panels and molding 
being antiqued. The scheme of the room, is developed in diill green 
walls and carpet. A flower painting is the only picture. The floor 
cushion is of black velvet, embroidered in wools. Miss Swords, Inc., 
decorators 
For a very, very French bedroom, prescribe the fol- 
loiving: paneled walls of pale gray; furniture, modified 
Louis XV of the faintest blue; a bedspread of light 
blue taffeta with appliqued design in rose; a window 
valance to match the bedspread with a daring pair of 
Nattier pink curtains beneath; French prints, of 
course. Miss M. A. Leiois, decorator
