The first, for a sunny little drawing-room or morning room, delicious shades of green and ivory. The walls are pale Adams green: the carpet fawn. At the French window trong damask curtains of the same green as the walls, senttered with shadowy ferns in deeper and lighter green. There is a graceful pelmet of heavy ivory satin and light inner curtains of ivory ninon, mude in the Regency style,
with ruffled hems and tie- backs.
The furniture has a Regency feeling, too-a curved sota and casy chair with shell-like fluted back up- holstered in heavy green damask woven with true lovers knots in ivory.

SHORTHEADS
now!
She discovered Shorthenda first, and told him that the only way to remove the tarlar and tobacco stain 'behind his teeth was to try, a Tek. He tried it, and found that the woman was right. The bristles of the Tek shorthead toothbrush are extra springy. The shape of the Tek shorthead was specially, designed to fit the inside arch of the teeth, and to reach the dangerous tartar zone which ordinary toothbrushes miss.
00% of the dentists asked to give their opinion of the Tek. design, returned their signed approval of it. There is nothing 'just as good' as Tek. Tek is registered-legally protected from Imitation. To keep both sides of your teeth white and strong you must have the original shorthead toothbrush--Tek.
