Walking along a shauy nucet In the cool of the evening, we led the hush of dusk and rest ourselves in the quiet beauty of tlod's handiwork.! The last light of day sifts through a network of tissue-thin leaves and intensi fies their chartreuse green color ing. Lush lawns roll out before us and against the dark green, the beauty of begonia plantings in shades of salmon, yellow, and white stir our hearts. What I restful room could be built from this pallette of colors! Think of a rather formal livingroom done with chartreuse walls, our deep pile nylon carpet In .a darker shade on the floor. At the large window let's hang our off-white Fortisnn sheer curtain fabric . . . very, very full under a shaped cornice board, repeating the off white in the beautiful framed mirror available to hi, over the mantel as well as in the lamp shades about the room. For our sofa let's use a deep tufted golden yellow piece. Now let's use the bright salmon color of our be gonias on the velvet chairs flank ing the fireplace and toss pillows of. the same salmon color with another pair of off-white ones on the sofa, use gold framed flower prints on the wall and , . . viola! Among the new arrivals: the tweet little blue velvet bedroom chairs with deep full flounce and bark rutching, available in twen ' ty-four colors. Ti little white wrought iron dressing table with mirror pull-out shelves . . . nice in bath or bedroom. The gay figured, and plain brightly col ored 24" -pillows . , . nice to use on the floor of the family room, patio or even on the Iswn, three nf them making a comfortable mat snd so easily moved about Bye till later, EM ROBERTS IROS.
