THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

PLAIN COLOURS REPLAC.

ING PATTERNS.

One of the most striking tenden- sies in modern house decoration is that towards the use of pure colour. The newest furnishing fabrica are either unpatterned, or the pattern, Rs in the case of shadow tissue cretoanes, subdued so that the effect is rather that of a complicated "shot" weaving than of a definito design standing out in relief from a background.

One reason for this change in that dress materials ATC more. generally flowered,· patterned or multicoloured in some way, thus needing the use of plain colour in interior decoration to make a

init-

abic background. That, of course, is the essential in all furnishing schemes that the room be treated as a background for people..

I was reading somewhere the other day about the house furnished by Mr. Osbert Sitwell with hetrogenious collection of Victorian odds and enda Mr. Sitwell, of course, poses as an eccentric and must be allowed these little follies, but I am sure that none of his women friends ever feel their best and happiest in his rooms, because 1998 frocks must look wrong in such surrounding

Casement Cloth.

Casement cloth was not so long: aga considered rather a cheap and unworthy material if you could afford any thing better, the dyes were crude and soon faded in the sun and the material itself had a

poor look. But all that is thanged except the price and the modern casement cloth can vie with any more expensive material, pro- vided it is used right; the colours are absolutely fast and in lovely soft tones and the silky finish of the Better class casements makes them hang with dignity.

The New dolours.

The colours were perhaps the most surprising in the pattern book which I looked through in White away, Laidlaw's'on Monday. They aro most of them pastel shades, the darker tones being particularly soft and rich looking. It was not sur prising that a very wide range of beiges has been made, since women have given beige a first place in their own dressing for some time and it is impossible that it can clash with anything I noticed too, some very lovely tones of vieux rose, rose and lavender, also clear, bottle green in a tond which I do not think has been distinguished by any name though it certainly deserves

one.
