purposes.
When making frocks of gingham or zephyr, be sure to keep the cut- tings, no matter what size or shape they may happen to be, With them you may be able to work out some delightful border schemes for linen curtains. Transfer pat- $38.00 terns will enable you to cut out $2.50

EXPERIMENTS IN DECORATION.
Parti-Coloured Walls And Odd Curtains.
It is the latest freak in furnish- ing fashions deliberately to design a room with parti-coloured walls and woodwork, and, In many in- stances, the effect is good. For example, there is much to be sl for a room in which glossy paint in a soft shado of apricot has been applied to the ceiling and to the walls opposite to and surround- ing the window, while the wood work and the other two walls are painted a deep coffes tint.
