One visitor may cmark to the other: " Did you notice aax little clumps of llovors were tacked m the bands that looped tho cui tains pack?" and the other may answer, in- 4hfl"erently: " "Were there flowers on the crtain cuffs' I d.dn't notice." iTo the decorator those small bunches tf flowers were undoubtedly thc keynote to-the whole room. They had not been Ipplled by a mero happy chance, but iner deliberate study. The three tones fctn In the llowcrs were almost certain to comprise the color scheme of the en- Cre room. They may have been ( old frory, coral and chocolate brown, or pea- teck blue, bronze, and a touch of scarlet old rose, sage, and baby blue or roj al oe, cinnamon brown, and steel gray, or U;' oilier of a thousand combinations, fct a little triplet of colors somewhere fc a room Is certain to indicate a color dienie.

WMSMT' the workroom ono of those nothings that professional people have earnestly thought out for thc couifort of their clients. It is Ju.t one of many things that! have watched in process of construction. con-struction. Another 1 the making of lambrequins, lam-brequins, and another tbo trimming p French doora. 5: Lambrequins look iatho pictures as though they were shaped pieces of goods tacked right on to tho window frames, but they are not; neither are they made to frames that are nailed to the window frames. But they are made to fr.amcs that arc adjusted to the window frames by means of hook end screws and screw eyes, so that thoy may be easily lifted off on cleaning day and brushed and put back. The skeletons upon which such lambrequins lam-brequins as are shown In thc sketch aro built can- -easily bo made at home. The wood used- Is a little less than half an Inch thick. The strip across thc top measures thc exact length of thc window frame top Just "below tho molding that finishes the extreme top edgo of the window win-dow frame. The strip should be about three and a half Inches wide A small . -- , jir By Anita de Campi. piece the same width and thickness as the strip Is placed at each end of the strip, making a right angle with it, and this will come around the outside of the window fiame rU'ht to the wall. Once you get the Idea of how It is done you can readily do it For the &ake of clarity I am making a little diagram sketch f lhe construction. No. 1 shows the top of the window frame. No. 2 shows the same with screw hooks In place. No. 3 shows the three pieces composing the lambrequin frame. No. showb the Inside of the lambrequin frama with screw eyes, this must be turned toward to-ward the window and the screw eyes set right to the hooks. But first It must be covered with the cloth. The dotted line in No. G shows about the depth to which the skeleton frame comes under its cloth cover. If thc lambrequins arc rcalloped, be cure that the center of thc middle scallop is tacked to tho middle of thc frame, and then go on tacking to thc right and to the left from thc center. In the same way, if thc cloth is figured, see. before cutting, that the principal pattern pat-tern comes to tho center of the framework. frame-work. Fringe should, of course, be sewn on before the tacking Is done. To put on the fringe, after tho scallops arc cut the desired de-sired shape turn and basic the edges of the goods up on the right side and cover these raw edges with thc fringe beading. Baste all carefully before stitching, as thc work must be neatly done. A puckered, puck-ered, crooked lanvbrcquin is thc ugliest thing on earth. On thc FYench doors In the sketch is shown the latest approved style of door draperies. They are panels made of silk .gauze and cluny and fllct lace JEach panel is finished at thc top and bottom with a wide, scalloped edge piece of cluny. The whole thing is not shirred on rods but left hanging as straight as a towel. It is bordered at either side with narrow cluny insertion, as indicated In the picture. Toward the bottom an oblong piece oMUcl lace is set In. Thc trimmings may vary. Sometimes two oblongs arc set in, but the panels in all instances arc titled to the doors so that thc upper row of ?mall glass panes Is kept uncovered Tho most novel detail of the whole scheme is tho manner In which the curtains cur-tains are adjusted. A tiny ivory ring la whipped tb the top of each -upturned scallop of thc lace and a small rod passing pass-ing through these rings holds the curtain cur-tain In place at its proper height. Tho lower edgo hangs perfectly free. No. G in thc diagram shows a portion of the lace, with rings and rod correctly adjust ad-just ed, Answers to Inquiries. xt v.? l should use gray or green for tho dining room rug.
