YOUR ROOM'S SWEET RESTFULNESS

EVERY WINE IN ITS GLASS If you are a true wine lover you will be as particular about your glasses as about your wine. They should be thin and uncoloured, as plain as possible, and made with stems.

First of all this question of co- lour. Restfulness is essential, and therefore soft_and_soothing_pastel shades are always best for the bed- room. Where plain walls and car- pet have been chosen to form soothing background, there are the loveliest of cretonnes and chintzes to add a note of gaiety at the win- dows. Flower patterns are still first favourites for the feminine room, but the modern designs and folk weaves are quite equally pleas- ing.

Once the colour and fabrics have been selected, the bed itself is of the utmost importance. It is wise to buy the very best, and to spend time and thought on choosing your mattress and coverings.' But the bedstead will be the cornerstone of your whole scheme, and so versatile have designers become that you can choose a bed to fit in exactly with your wildest dreams.

Painted wooden beds, modernistic metal beds, built-in, severe-looking | space-saving beds in short, beds to suit every possible type of taste are all just waiting for you to choose one.
