WHEN a woman is determined^
to have a thoroughly artis
tic room at but moderate
erst, and all furnishings are
to be purchased, she can hardly do
better than select willow furniture.
While this is pre-eminently suitable
for the furnishing of the summer
home, there are those among us
whose winter homes are also their
summer ones, and who are in a meas
ure dependent for their comfort ' and
happiness on the beauty of their sur
roundings, even though the purse be
small.
The room"" shown in the picture is
in a home where the same furnishings
are used throughout the year and the
house is continuously occupied. These
pieces of willow furniture come in the
most comfortable shapes and sizes.
When treated, as In the present case,
with an enamel finish, they do not
look cold or too light for winter use.
The cushions are then recovered in
plain green.
I There are a variety of enamels now
made from which to select the color
ing. They range through several
shades of blue, green, red and rich
dee]) yellows and browns. Often the
fabric chosen for the cushioning of
this furniture is velveteen or uphol
sterer's velvet, which conies in beau
tiful soft colors and wears well. This
costs a yard. These cushions
should be well made, and caught in
with buttons, as this gives a very
handsome and finished appearance
.-md is the fashion. In the completed
furnishing of a room there should
always be at least four pieces finished
in the same way, enamelled and up
holstered. The odd pieces, such as
tables and additional chairs—Morris,
East Indian, or steamer chairs —can
be left in the natural shade, or given
■ a slightly deeper tint with stain.
Wicker furniture is also a fancy of
the day. but as a rule its shapes are

not so artistic, or the prices o rea
sonable, as the willow. It is, how
ever, exceedingly durable when of the
best quality. In the room here shown,
a pleasing color scheme of green,
white and yellow has been carried out,
with here and there a touch of the
soft red of the wall paper of the hall
repeated in the lamp shade and on
the mantel.
The ivory white woodwork has
been given an eggshel gloss, with
eggshel-white enamel. The furniture
has been treated with pumpkin yellow
enamel and the odd pieces stained a
light brown. The glazed chintz with
which the chairs, divan and couches
are how cushioned shows a pattern
of yellow hollyhocks and green foli
age on white ground. The rug is a
two-toned Brussels carpet in dark
shades of green.
When the winter season draws near,
the windows and doorways will wear

faced and matching a shade in the rug.
This veleur casts $2 a yard, and is 50
inches wide. The wall covering here
is pale sage green cartridge paper,
which sells for 20 cents a roll. There
is a figured paper offered this season
which shows tall green palm leaves at
wide intervals on an ivory ground.
This wall paper gives size and at
mosphere to a room, and would be
effective in a room where forest green
wood-tint stained the woodwork, or
where the rich, dark brown of English
oak wood-tint and dead-lac varnish
finished the wainscot and mantel.

which could be substituted in the
room shown, if it were desired to get
away from the Colonial idea. The
tiles used here are soft dull green,
and of an unusual shape. The walls
of the room could be covered with a
wall paper showing a design sugges
tive of the Empire, an idea which
would be further carried out in the
carefully valanced arrangement of the
ornaments upon the mantel.
While architecturally the detail of
the room might be of any period as
easily as of JEmpire, yet the color and
general arrangements and scheme can
be made to convey the idea of that
period.
Answers to Correspondents.
"Mary of T." says: "Will you kindly
suggest how I can utilize a window in
my room which has been spoiled by
the next building shutting off all light
and air. I have tried curtaining it, as
•> was before, but the effect is gloomy.
There are two other windows in. the
room, so that it is not greatly needed,
but how can I hide it? Putting a por
tiere before it has been suggested,
but its top is much higher than the
doorway, and I do not think it would
look well.. The room is a general sit
ting-room upstairs."
You can utilize your blank window
most acceptably as book shelves.
Have the glass remoVed and a solid
back put in, against which the shelves
may be placed. The whole back and
shelves should be painted and fin
ished to match the woodwork of the
room. The upper shelf should be set
about two feet from the top, and ex
tend out beyond the others, which are
set flush with the wall.
Some pieces of bric-a-brac of good
color and pronounced shapes might be
used as .ornaments, such as Indian
jars, a large jar or bowl of brass or
copper, or a richly-colored piece of
porcelain. The color effect of the
book binding thus placed will be
found decorative.
Mrs. B. R. Y. writes: "In the front
hall the stair carpet and hall carpet
are dark green with tan. The wood
work is grained. We wish to repaper
it. The front parlor carpet is olive
green velvet, with large red and tan
figures. There are a sofa and two
chairs, upholstered in green (one in
emerald), and also one chair in rose
wood, one" mahogany, one wicker, and
one solid Flemish oak. The furniture
also includes a large solid mahogany
leaf-table, a mahogany tabourette,
and two straight-back mahogany
chairs, one upholstered in red plush
and the other in rose. Two ferns
complete the furnishings. Everything
here is new. . We wish to repaper
and do over the woodwork. Both
paper and woodwork are now gray

"The square opening between the
two p.-irlors is %V 2 feet high. Wl}at
shall we use there?
"In the back parlor there is a me
dium green felting, 2 feet wide,
around the edge of a 9x12 moquette
rug—dark green, with geometrical fig
ures, tan and red predominating with
a little white and blue. The fireplace
is black marble, with a marble shelf
across the top. It is shabby, but we
can't have a new one. Can you sug
gest anything? The couch is old gold
and red. There are three large up
holstered chairs, which are to be re
upholstered. One is a rocker. A
square cherry table and a tall walnut
bookcase also stand in this room.
"The parlors have always been pa
pered alike, but we think we would
like a change. Would you advise

the use of white woodwork for both?
"The dining room carpet is a bright
red, with some green and tan. The
room is not particuarly light. The
built-in china closet has a solid door.
What woodwork and paper would be
suitable?"
In order to make your rooms rest
ful and attractive, your best plan will
be to rearrange the furniture some
what. Use all of the mahogany you
have in the front parlor. , Select the
color of the upholstery of any one
piece which pleases you most, and re
peat it on at least three of the othei
pieces. Too great a variety causes
confusion and is inartistic.
To Keep the Hair in Curl.
Put a teaspoon'ful of borax and a
piece of castile soap into a jar, and
pour over them half a pint of boiling
water. Stir until they are dissolved.
Put the mixture into a bottle and cork
it up tightly. Damp the hair thor
oughly with this mixture before curl
ing it.

they go out boating?

they're never lost. Every once in a
while they gets drowned, but we al
