A very pretty combination com-bination Is obtained by plastering the room with ronch cast cement with a little lime In the mortar ! lighten the color and leae is unstained. Birch woodwork, stained a dark mahogany, looks well In combination with the cement Interior. The border of the tile floor should harmonize with the colors predominating in the room. 'The slldins Klass doors between the t;o!arlum and the adjoln nvr room should have glass pan?ls tho full lensth. the same as French windows.

It Is a uplcadid thing, however, to have one room devoted exclusively to tho raising of plants and the admission admis-sion of tho solor rays, thereby linking fall with spring, with a bit of indoor summer time. "There are n number of family uses to which tho solarium can be put It la a splendid place for the chllJr-Mi to play In when Ihe ground outside is wet with melting snow, or even In the summer time during the rainy weather.
