BUREAU SCARFS IN SUMMER

Should Be Lighter, Both in Material and Color, Than Those Used In Winter. Even bureau scarfs should be of a more simple character during the hot months. All fussy things, including scarfs, should be carefully packed away with the blankets and (if you

have such antiques) feather beds. Strips or lengths Df voile make excellent scarfs. These may be plainly hemmed or hemstitched about the edges. It is a pretty idea to introduce into the bureau scarf the dominant color of the bedroom. Supposing this Color to be a cool blue, then the color in the scarf may be blue, and perhaps mixed with a little green foliage. Make a colored border about the scarf, either by stenciling or stitching in blue thread. Various designs and stitches can be used for this purpose. If there is not time to embroider the scarf in color it is possible to obtain the voile already stamped with colored flowers that need no retouching, so that the effect is Very like stenciling. The curtains might be made to match.
