THE HOSTORY OF THE SOFA
AND THE SETTEE.
The settee, which later developed into the sofa so popular in the stately drawing rooms of England in the 18th Century was in itself a development of bench and settle of very early times. At first these were simple wooden seats but later an attempt was made to make them more comfortable By the use of cushions. In the 16th Century day- beds and couches were developed as special forms of furniture and the settee was often padded to afford a more comfortable seat." At approximately the same time up holstered furniture was introduced into luxuriously appointed English houses, but it has not much in com- mon with that which was to develop in the next century.
The Cromwellian period brought in what were settees or settles with backs and seats of canvas covered with leather or turkey-work to match the well-known Cromwellian chairs. With the Restoration of Charles II. to the Throne of Eng-
land, a demand arose for luxurious furniture such as was used on the Continent and it was at this time that the true development of the sofa really began. The first step was the creation of a settee which was in reality.two chairs put to- gether with two backs and arms at each end. Some even were made with a common arm in the middle. They were not upholstered and they proved a transient fashion being followed by seats of the same type but luxuriously padded and covered with silks and velvets, or needle work, sometimes the creation of the ladies of the family. The backs were usually very high to protect
the occupants from the draughts of poorly heated rooms and to serve as a fitting background for the elaborate headdresses of the day. It was with the introduction of tie wigs and powder that low backs were first designed.

THE COLOUR FOR YOU!
The colours used by Nature in tinting the blonde woman are prin |cipally red, yellow, and brown, which rgaults in orange E the dominant tone. Now, the comple- ; mentary colour of orange is blue,! and for this reason blue, of all colours, rightfully belongs to this blonde type. But, since she must consider not only her hair but also her complexion in relation to her clothes, she must pay attention to the blues she chooses,
For her sports clothes, however, even though her complexion be quite high, she may take certain liberties, because against the vivid background of sky, sea, and grasy colours that otherwise would be too strong for her are softened in their effect. For greater clarity let us list her four best colours; Grey blue, lavender, canary yellow, yellowish
кап.
Now, then, let us consider those tones that should not be used. Medium or light green, pink and rose, red, venetian fuchsia, orange, uli pale shades that contrast too strongly with her complexion.
Black is such an important colour these days that it deserves considera- tion all by itself. While unrelieved it does not reflect any other shade with which it comes in contact. Binck and white, therefore, make an excellent combination for a sports Costume for

Perhapa because they followed so closely the chair styles, Chippen dale did not illustrate scttees with open-work wooden backs, but he gives several plates of sofas that show the French influence which so markedly affected English furniture after 1735.
