There might be a blue’carpet with touches of mauve woven into its pattern. That pinky mauve which goes so well with blue chintzes should be In colors of mauve and blue, and a white paper on which sweet peas are the .note of color would harmonize well. With a couch and large, comfortable chairs, a bureau, a small table and a bookcase of satinwood or of Inlaid mahogany the room would be luxuriously dainty and restful.' Another boudoir where the deep chintz covered chairs and settee rests upon a white Bokhara carpet with notes of dim red and black tB considered charming. The walls are of a warm sage green and the curtains and window seating of • that shade or red which seems to have faded to a sober

pinkness. There are shelves' full of books and a table frith a bowl of flowers. On the mantelpiece and china shelf there are curios Trom all over the world.
