HOME PLANNING
IS ME NEED
Proper Furniture Grouping
Requisite to Success
of Entire Scheme
By HILDA HUNT
Almost all rooms of moderate
size require at least two separate
furniture groupings to preserve
the balance. This Is necessitat
ed by the location of the windows
and fireplace, as well as the dom
inating pieces of furniture. Where
thre are large windows to a
proup, as illustrated, there Is a
sppcial need for a well-planned
arrangement, or otherwise the
gorgeous effect of such windows
will be entirely lost, or worse
jvt, turned into a barn-like at
mosphere. Large window space like this la
a decided addition to any room,
whether II be in a city or the
country. Xot only does it pro
vide a delightful outlook, but it
is the means of furnishing ade
quate daylight, which la at a
premium everywhere. The wise
decorator hangs very transparent
glass curtains directly against
the windows so as not to shut out
the light, but which, at the same
time, discounts any glare that Is
equally as harmful as is too lit
tie light. 1
In this room we hare thesitaa
tion of grouping furniture around
the French windows at one end of
the room and staging a pleasant
scene about the fireplace, which
Is directly opposite. - Both - of
these two centers are equally Im
portant, and so dependent on each
other. During the colder months
of the year all eyes are necessarily
centered in the fireplace. But the
desire to he able to look outdoors,
either at a storm or sunshine. Is
true of the city as well as the
country.
Informality Is the keynote of
this room, with its spacious green
denim covered sofa, that Is flank
ed by two walnut end tables of
interesting shape. Chinese lamps
in duplicate are a charming decor
ative note, and their light is suf
ficient for Illumination and read
ing. Matching chairs of the co
lonial barrel type are a delight
ful addition, not only because of
their comfort, but because of
j s ; ;
their colorful tan and green chints
covers which, oddly enough, are
not used tor the outside of the
chair. A woods brown glased
chintz covers the backs and sides
of the chair, harmonizing wh,
the inner fabric as well as the
rest of the color scheme of the
room.
A tall secretary in walnut adds
an air of dignity, while at the
same time acting as a nice point
in balance between the fireplace
at one end of the room and the
other. The window of beige silk
draperies, you will notice, are
drawn well back, so as not to ob
struct either the view or the light.
At night they can be drawn across
the windows to serve as shades.
XEW SATIN' SHOWER CUR
TAIN'S The moires and rubberized silks
in luscious colors have been with
us Just long enough to pave the
way for still newer and more lux
urious fabrics. Bath curtains of
waterproofed satfn in the jewel
colors are now the latest thing.
And when you see the gleaming
surface of this new fabric, with
its high lights and soft shadows,
if you can be loyal to the old
equipment then you are strong
characters!

REST. That is why we have bedrooms at all. If we did not need a
peaceful, quiet haven where we could escape for relaxation we could
turn the bedroom into a ballroom or a cardroom or use it for some
other rriyolous purpose!
" But we must Have rest, so the successful bedroom should then be
planned with that thought uppermost.
