EASY TO MAKE BRIGHT SPOT

Single Cushion, In Gay Colors, Will Do Wonders In improving Appearance of Room. If your living room or your bedroom is in need of a bright spot, get to work and make a cushion of brightcolored material. It is surprising how one solitary cushion will change the whole atmosphere of a room. A cushion made of old-rose poplin, denim or silk would just sing with joy and happiness if you would place ft amid your surroundings. Through the center of the cushion sew a strip of white poplin on which large old-rose flowers are printed. Around the edge of the cushion seif a strip of narrow old-rose silk fringe. Should you find that old rose will not harmonize with your wall paper or your hangings, select a color that will blend with them-rbright green, blue or yellow will have the same cheerful effect as the old rose.
