A room need not be at alllnese rug. most appropriately. Tou might not believe It possible that this question wns asked In all erlousnesa. "What Is the newest thing In antiques?" It Is mil A, and a bit dlsconcern Ing, Just when you've learned to Identify a Currier and Ives print, and have nhsorbed some of the -thuslnsm of the colloctor to find that some one has gone to the trouble of writing a h-iiRthy maga zine article to the effect that a Currier nnd Ives print la in atroc ious tnste, end closely nkln to for mer bulbous chromes issued with calendars by the loral grocer. For fads and fancies come and gn with the collector of antiques an with tho fashion of jour home and Its decoration. An Old Knc II -l i Itoom It Is a fnr cry between the au aiere simplicity of a Colonial room In tho New Kngland style pioneer tlays, and the muchly he-ruffled Victorian Interior, with its abun dance of ribbons and buhIics, and tidies nnd cushions. A new arrange ment struck a happy medium and called Itself just "an old Hngllsh mom." It omitted many of the Victorian flouncing! and yet was i Cozy looking. Its cushioned seats I were much more restful to tired bones than are the prim Colonial chsfrs nnd settees. The fireplace was quite properly the center of Interest on one wall, and was treated with utmost sim plicity. An old, portrait In a block frame hung above it with A p-lr of old rose Chinese intra with I Ms, on the mantle shelf. At If fppt lay a hooked rug. Either side the walls were covered with bookshelves. TnjM'Stry of Hooks Book shelves can be as dull an dull or they can be utterly fasci nating. An unconventlonnl arrange ment made these quite Joyful to behold. -The colors of the books were delightfully mixed,. and then there were gaps. How terrible to the precise person! Ves nn empty place here and there, sometimes filled with a Jfuddha sometimes holding a trailing Ivy plant. Did you ever think of a tapestry of books? These shelves presented such a colorful fabric with Ivy for the grace of folds. Divans, with their fat cushions down filled nnd covered with glaz ed chlntx liu'lted one to rest before the hearth. And then to make one's book more enjoyable, thora were small tables with lamps conveni ently lib'ht. placed, shedding their soft Old. Fashioned Desk Across the room, an important looking old-fashioned desk reigned serenely. It -had Its groupings of large chairs deeply cushioned and its lamp too. The last was made of a green glass bottle, vase shaped ftlled with water. Why water? Well, why not? It deepened the tone of the green and with Its faint movement, now and then, ad ded a tiny stir of charm to the room. Green glazed chintz curtains completed this room with cream net close to the glass. An air of hospitality, of comfort, of easy in formality, those qualities so hard to obtain, made this a room of dis tinction. Hose Colored Drapes Twin beds In one wild flower, room made two youngsters happy. It la not related whether they fought over the chaise longu with its quilted rose coverlet or not (for sisters sometimes have slight dis agreements) and with a delightful painted secretary, they might both feel Inspired to write letters at the same time. That would be tra gic, Itose colored drapes filled -tie ilowers that Come In the Springtime Drapes di Jlaiprk Ttowe Vixon M-'lowers that bloom In tin n print," sinus a popular opera 'have nothing to do with the case."

I low In Select C'urtntiis As to cultivation, one fin. is that here as In gardening, lies the inl tlal step. There are original ideas to cultivate, a nil practical ones, too. and oh. ro many derisions to make. .Knnlkht and ruin In a gar den nre vllal factors while 1'glit. colored, plain or sunnv Is the chief vxt thing In curtaining. The firsl decision to make Is this. Do you want to see out and en joy the view, or do you want to shut out the view? A fairly opaque casement cloth will shut out the view ns will pongee nnd some of the other materials. In many cases where ugly walls nre too close, desire Is to let In the Unlit but shut out offending buildings. Nets, iaucs nnd Scrims When one lives In the country or In tile suburbs. It seems n great ehame to shut out the view en tirely. Net curtains nnd gnuxes nnd -Tints will secure privacy, and yet enable one to see out.

The services of a decorator may be necessary to decide about valances end Just how and where the drapes are to be tied back. Here, as nowhere else, the colors chosen must be exactly right and the treniment of the windows In harmony with the period of the fnoin.

Early American Itoom An early American room felt the shelving Influence and broke out with the most original ideas. One shelf all across the window top wore a pongee ruffle edged with red. Another shelf covered with an old fashioned pattern In oil cloth held pots of geraniums, In a sunny window. And Inside the curtains were more sheh-es. Of necessity these were narrow and each held a pretty bit of pottery or pewter. Maple furniture, ladder backed chairs, a dropleaf table, a settee these were all In keeping with one's ancestor's early days. ffYench Room Attractive Not so simple or severe, but equally attractive 13 a little French room.
