ADDS BEAUTY TO A COTTAGE

Cretonne May Be Most Advantageously Used in Decorating Interior of the Summer Residence. A stpnnlng cretonne for a summer cottage is in a black, gray and white foliage effects, the whole effect being rather dark,* with little hints, In between the trees, of white sky and a bit of a landscape. The cretonne could be used in a bedroom, with pale gray walls, gray furniture, black and gray rug, and with a deep >rose color developed in accessories such as lamp-shades, pillows, hangings and seats. It would also look well in a dining room or in a living room of a seashore house. There Is still another cretonne that is beautiful, although it Is of a distinctly opposite character, but which could be used for the same rooms as those just Indicated. It Is an all-over rose design printed in yellow, creams and browns, on a sand-colored background. The roses are small, being only about an inch and a half In diameter. The whole effect of this cretonne was pale and shadowy, and there would be a wonderful chance for a beautiful room developed with this material.
