Its interior presented staring or while walls, d woodwork, and floors. Now, a finished house seems almost ready to begin living in at once. The walls are tinted or painted in oil in attractive colors, the floors are stained, finished and polished, and the woodwork is of the color and finish most harmonious for the room in which it is used.

One need only to look about to find the desired color or fabric to use in furnishing a simple home. If a woman is out of the reach of the shops in great cities, there are advertisements to be read and samples to write for and catalogues to secure, which give cuts and descriptions so clear and full that she can judge and deride at a distance. When it is decided to paper the walls, samples of paper must be obtained and tried against the wall and near the woodwork of the room in which it is proposed to use it The same process should be gone through with curtain stuffs, if colors are to be used, even though it be but a ten-cemuslin, and, again, with the rugs, whether they are matting, terry, Brui-se- ls carpeting, or Oriental ones.

The large parasol in the center is covered in pale green gauze, on which a profusion of daffodils and leaves is arranged. On the middle of the table is a heavy iron weight with a hole in the center, into which the handle of the parasol is fitted and firmly held in place. This weight is covered by a mass of the pretty yellow blossoms snd green leaves. The guests places are separated by flowers and sprajrs of green. The service plates sre of green and gold, and the glasses, which are of crystal and gold, are set on dainty lace doiliei. Dull gold candelabra are also used, with pale green candles. A conservatory in the large rounding bay window of a great diningroom was chosen as the place in which to set this dainty table for a debutantes luncheon. Palms, ferns and delicately flowering shrubs were set in close rows against the white tile walls. Rngs were spread upon the inlaid marble floor. The tinkle of the tiny fountain and the view of a pretty rear garden afforded by the great windows added to the charm of the feast Blit Answers to Correspondents.
