THE HOUSE FURNISHER’S 
BULLETIN 
New York is the market place of the world 
and into its shops, great and small, pour all the- 
best products of the artisan, the decorator, and 
the furniture maker. All that goes tozvard mak¬ 
ing the home of good taste, may be purchased in 
this city. To give the readers advantage of the 
city’s shops, the sharp eyes of experts are to be 
constantly employed in ferreting out for this col¬ 
umn all that goes to make the house distinctive.. 
S OME attractive new pillow covers in¬ 
tended especially for summer homes,, 
but quite suitable for all-the-year-round 
use, are made of a fabric similar to the. 
familiar hand-woven coverlets or bed¬ 
spreads, and show the same colorings and 
designs. They are, in fact, small pieces 
of the material woven in special sizes, so 
that there is no waste in making up the 
pillows, and their wearing qualities are 
quite equal to those of the larger pieces. 
Blues and browns seem to predominate, 
and in addition to the made-up pillows 
there are single pieces to be had. These 
have fringed ends, and may be used as 
table covers, or they are just the right 
size for pillow covers as well. 
C HARMING sets for bedrooms in 
summer cottages are made entirely 
of willow, and the newest designs show 
a sort of basket weave in a fancy pattern 
that is decidedly prettier than anything 
vet shown in the way of summer furni¬ 
ture. The bureaus and chiffoniers in 
these sets have glass knobs on the 
drawers and sheets of glass for the tops, 
which are usually covered with cretonne 
in the gayest of patterns and colors. 
W ASHABLE pillows, however, are 
square for the most part and per¬ 
fectly plain as to surface. Some of the 
most effective shown this season are of 
crash or linen in the natural shade, with 
conventional designs done in fast colors 
rather suggestive of good stencil work. 
The general scheme of coloring in these 
pillows is particularly good, and shows 
the effect of the cubist craze without be¬ 
ing too extreme, and there are excellent 
combinations of reds, blues, greens and 
the darker shades that will stand the 
wear and tear of outdoor use.

S UMMER curtains are, if anything, 
prettier than ever this year, and the 
worthy scrim is appearing in all sorts of 
new forms. One of the daintiest is a 
rather fine-weave ecru scrim with a 
single solid stripe about six inches wide 
at the outer edge. On this stripe is a 
pretty floral design that forms a charm¬ 
ing border for the curtain. A narrow, 
hemstitched fold serves as a border for 
some fine scrim on which a large pattern 
is printed, while a coarse scrim printed in 
delicate colors has a peculiarly lace-like

Overlooking Van Cortlandt Park on the East and the Hud¬ 
son River on the West, on the very crest of a wooded ridge, 
three hundered feet in elevation — all the picturesque charm 
characteristic of Westchester County is to be found. 
Convenient to Subway and New York Central Tines, it 
can be truly said no other similar development offers such 
facilities. 
If New York can develop a fashionable suburban centre — 
as has been done in other large cities—Fieldston offers the 
only possibility. 
As a home and investment, this is worth investigating,
