When Winter Comes Home THE first chill days of autumn send us scurrying to build a fire in the fireplace there to toast our fingers and our toes. And with the change from warm to cool days, and the necessity of staying indoors a renewed interest in home ering. In selecting a color scheme, one can start with the rug, a more or less fixed factor and use colors from it. One room started with a tan rug, softly dull with a small pattern in it. So the overstuffed chairs were fairs, with drawers clear Window Trimmits And as for the window its very own type of Scrim glass curtains let light, while the window by black glazed chintz cured over the black ground effect of the room was and delightful. THE first chill days of autumn send us scurrying to build a fire in the fireplace there to toast our fingers and our toes. And with the change from warm to cool days, and the necessity of staying indoors, a renewed interest in home decoration is awakened. In summer simplicity is the appropriate keynote. One wants coolness and restfulness so as to forget the heat. But fall brings again the annual fierce desire in the breast of the housewife to clean house, and an entire upheaval follows. And a healthy thing it is too, to change all the furniture about, plan new schemes and decorations, discard some bits of old and replace with new. Perhaps several chairs need recovering. In selecting a color scheme, one can start with the rug, a more or less fixed factor and use colors from it. One room started with a tan rug, softly dull with a small pattern in it. So the overstuffed chairs were covered to match with a striped mohair in mulberry and taupe. Two great comfy wicker chairs toned into the color scheme by painting themselves in mulberry. Especially attractive in this room were several good copies of antiques. A bookcase with the old broken arch top reminding one of a secretary was the first of these and a charming old high boy with the same top was second. It had the loveliest old brass drawer pulls. A third antique stood in a corner by a window. It was an old desk, one of those capacious af-fairs, with drawers clear Window Trimmings And as for the window its very own type of Scrim glass curtains let light, while the window by black glazed chintz cled over the black ground effect of the room was and delightful.

Some of us would like this room and others would enjoy another more exotic, keyed to a vigorous note, and playing with patterns. It must have been the gay red frames of two or three Japanese prints that started the ball rolling. Red lacquer furniture followed as a natural sequence and covered its cushions with linen colored glazed chinz. A round table collected books and a lamp and placed them gracefully on a linen runner embroidered somewhere "East of Suez." I am sure. And not for a minute could one forget the back-ground. The gayest of flowers grew from spiral trees all over the walls, with brilliant birds flutter in the midst. So runneth the legend of one of the new wall papers. Ecru scrim filled the windows with over drapes of striped taffeta tiled high. Since no home is now complete without books and plenty of them, all sorts of interesting arrangements for shelves are being used. For the smaller living rooms, hanging book shelves make decorative spots, there being no end of the possibilities of these, both in shade and color. Fireplace Book Cases Where a fireplace stands forty from the wall, an excellent opportunity for built in shelves is afforded either side. Some fit into the room nicely with a horizontal line at the top, while others with an arch add to grace of line. Not that one must have a fire, oh no—built in book shelves may occur almost any place you like. A window seat may be a low case for books while a window nook may be lined up and down with shelves. Now, instead of hanging over a console table, many a handsome mirror hangs above the book case. With all the variety in line and finish in mirrors the home decorator has abundant opportunity to display her skill in combining beautiful mirrors with stately book cases. Among other incidents in our new-old modern homes is a revival of the old coffee table. Antiques and good copies of them may be found with their sturdy legs and uncompromising attitude. But that is all very well. One doesn't care to spill a good cup of coffee. Coffee reminds us of dining rooms at least of eating rooms, and especially breakfast. The breakfast room now has its own treatment joyous in brightly painted pieces. There surely, is the exact spot for gate legged tables to combine themselves.

What more delicious grouping could be arranged than these, all painted Robin's egg blue with a line of pink set in the morning sunlight? Especially when hand blocked linen curtains the windows, hung from painted rings, and the whole stands on a checkerboard tile floor, what could more tempt the morning appetite? A Tasty Breakfast Room A sort of transition between the breakfast room and the dining room resulted from painting a good looking set dull blue. All the pieces were there, side board, server and buffet, just like a regular set only some way "dolled up" a bit with paint. The bare table made an excellent background for Wedgewood china in cream white. And as if to snatch a bit of color from the china, the roller shade curtains matched nicely in the bright cretonne. For an unusual dining room, one finds among the newer/sets, paint skillfully used with the natural wood finish. Each chair back had an ovel painted dully and softly with a flowing group in an antique finish. The large doors of the china cabinet continued the use of painted bouquets in unobtrusive tones, on its walnut surface. A separate mirror hung over the buffet. The bare table wore squares of Italian linen and was set with Strausburg china. It is for that matter a puzzle now to know whether the china furnished the original keynote to the room or the furniture compelled with use of certain china. At any rate there is a beautiful opportunity for nice distinctions in the choice of these combinations. Did you say color? Maybe not, but then you couldn't have been thinking of the nursery, unless you thot of gay colors. In the days when a somed out in lemon yellow, with a narrow line of pink. A coral pink it was and the drapes drew their note from it and festively hung over the scrim glass curtains long lines of gingham, in pattern, a large checkerboard of coral and white. Each valance of the bedspread repeated the gingham. Various Bedroom Treatments Bedrooms like living rooms are an expression of one's temperament. There one finds arrangements all the way from elaborate down to the severely simple. A cozy cottage bed room with its slanted ceiling demands its own treatment in small pieces and tiny figured wall paper. While a great room with a twelve foot ceiling has to have a certain majesty in its drapes, in its dignified furniture. The moderately sized bed room allows for the greatest play of one's choice and is by far the easiest of the three to arrange. For the small bed room the American Colonial is appropriate. Rag rugs, quaint old chairs, or a small rocker, a draped dressing table in dotted swiss, and a four poster bed with a blue and white woven bed spread, these make a dainty and charming room. The dear old American Colonial, its chairs have a way of fitting in anywhere, where an extra chair is needed. Painted Bedroom Sets Painted bed room sets in soft colors are still with us. The usual set combines a chifforobe, twin beds, a night table, a bureau, a dressing case, and a chaise longue. Then for spots of gay color, there are cushions, lamps placed for comfort and sometimes brilliant pictures. A set of this type adequately furnished one of the large bedrooms mentioned before.

Maybe not, but then you couldn't have been thinking of the nursery, unless you thot of gay colors. In the days when a sturdy young man of three triumphantly wears a necklace of bright wooden beads, he has strung for himself, there must be answering colors in his room. It must have been those very beads that inspired the decorator of one child's set. The cabinet legs, the legs to the bureau and the chair legs were all carved in rounds like beads and each round painted a different vivid color. Above the tops and backs and so on, blossom Painted bed room sets in soft colors are still with us.

Its background was an ivory paneled wall, and its high arched windows held black drapes with a flower pattern flung back gracefully over gold tie-backs. And so the house is made ready for the winter months. To reflect hominess, good cheer, hospitality.
