Above is an example of a perfectly fitting 
slip cover in glazed chintz ■with a cool 
■water lily design. From Fakes, Bisbee, 
Robertson, Inc. 
from the furnishings of the winter. 
Now that we have graduated from the 
striped Holland stage and are using 
flowered chintzes, toiles de Jouy, plain 
linens and taffetas in all manner of be¬ 
guiling colors, often further embellished 
with contrasting pipings, it is possible to 
transform the winter drawing room with 
its damask, needlepoint or mohair furnish- 
(Continued on page 122) 
A cover made to fit 
the seat of a chair may 
be laced together at 
the corners with cords 
ending in wooden balls 
painted to match some 
color in the chintz 
In summer it is advis¬ 
able to cover a taffeta 
dressing table with 
some washable ma¬ 
terial. The covers here 
are cornflower blue 
linen, scalloped and 
bound in pink 
The • material of the 
slip cover on the chair 
above is white glazed 
chintz with a lattice 
design of deep pink 
ivy leaves. Courtesy 
of John Wanamaker
