When making a colour scheme:

A young married woman. who has completed a fawn and belge effect in her dining-room.

She is surprised because the room "lacks character" and has i "dull, teless air."

The answer is-she did not know that all successful colour schemes depend upon the discreet use of three colours.

Or, if you don't mind being dif- ferent from your friends, on the bold use of gay coloura.

Now Schemes

I often get letters from women who need help in the matter of home de- corntion.

Sometimes they write after trying out a colour scheme that should have been right-but isn't.

Now that spring cleaning and re- decoration are in the

als, let's plan some iM-colour schemes to-day.

Sunny roains need cool and restful colours, but all the colours need not

finished scheme will be cheerful and practical.

Wallpapers in fawn and bolge Lones, for example. You can cheer these up by Including some brillant green, blue or orange in the rest of the scheme,

A Peralan or Indian carpet in which these colours predominate suggests deep orange curtains, blue and green cushions and orange or groen candles. With fawn walls and paint, this is a cheerful scheme for a family sitting-room.

Red and Gray

Clear shades, like tomato red, go well with cream wallpapers. For a three- colour scheme you could. combine cream and tomato red willi pale green or old gold, using the red for curtains and cushions, cream for walls, celling and paint, and green for the carpet.

touches to provide a contract and give the cool ones their full value, and the reverse also applies to warm colouts eksosen for north rooms.

I'm starting with the cool schenies because green is a fajourite colour. What about plaining pale spring grecu walls as a background for walnut or mahogany furniture in a sunny bed- room?

The complement of green 19 Fed, to I would choose a warm pink tone, such as rose or pink, as the second malu colour. and a third colour like, gold, which will tone with bath, to complete The balance of the scheme.

For Comfort

In a scheme of this kind, don't allow one culcur to dominate another.

Green could be used for the walls. welling and woodwork, the deep rose shade for the carpet, bedspread gold with a ruso eklerdown, and patterned
