NEW IDEAS IN DECORATIONS

Color Schemes for Bedrooms That WHI Be Change From Designs 80 Long in Use. - The modern girl is rather tired of the pale rose and blue bedrooms of the past, and welcomes any new color scheme that Is attractive. Here are a few suggestions that have become commonplace: Walls of soft cream color with a stencil design in mauve shades. Hanging of a#hes of roses- linen, and furniture of wicker work stained a soft brownish purple. Band of cream colored linen with the stenciled designs may be appllqued on the hangings of the room, such as the curtains and cushion covers, and the rugs on the Boor should be soft Oriental colors. Another attractive room could be arranged in the pale shades of the clematis. The walls are colored In the tints of this bloom In its lilac nues, and the woodwork should be in the same shade of clematis, with a gray tone In Its depths. Soft lilac curtains, bedspread and -covers should be In the same shade stenciled In pearl gray, while the furniture might be of either gray enamel or brown wood. Or cretonnes In the clematis or wistaria designs could be used. An all-gray room Is charming,-but a little cold unless It has here and there cushions touched with color. The walls of such.a tinted or papered In a warm gray, with-a-cream ceiling which should be brought down to the picture molding. Gray enameled furniture is used, and the cushions, covers and curtains are gray, stenciled In soft shades of lilac and green, with soft brown. The rugs that cover a gray stained floor are of gray-green hues, and the pictures on the walls should be framed in graystained wood and white enamel.
