ENSEMBLES IMPORTANT IN NEW FURNITURE • FASHIONS

Suites Need Not Match, Experts Say fh* new trend* in modern home f*mihin|i will he d*cu**ed in a aerie* of aothentir article*, of nhich thi* i* the flrt, ppe-rini in The Time*. Theae article* will describe in an yitrrerting war the proper arranfement and color •rhemr* of the new furniture. Don’t fail to read them. Ry Sf \ Service Fashions in furniture this fall show the increased importance of furniture ensembles. You do not need matched suites to have a most attractive home. The old idea that everything in a room must be identical in upholstery and line is being replaced by the newer one that has them different but harmonious. A room today is assembled with every piece of furniture purchased with due regard for the other furnishings, color, line, material and general character. Americans are taking increasing interest in house furnishings and decorating, they are increasing their knowledge of such things, have more confidence in their own taste, and are working out more intricate and varied arrangements in each room. Chairs Need Not Match A divan or davenport, upholstered in figured tapestry or hand-blocked linen, does not require two chairs to match, upholstered in the same material. An arm chair may be upholstered in material of a solid color, either the most conspicuous color in the figured goods, or else the most somber, depending on the size of the Chair and room. Another chair might be covered in a striped material in two tones of brown and tan, green and beige, black and gray, blue and gray or any other combination that is found in the figured davenport. All three of these pieces would harmonize and be charming together. The advantages, both artistic and practical, of this new ensemble idea are many. You dispel all chance of deadly monotony—the danger run when usig suites. You have a possibility of infinite variety in your room. You can change the whole aspect by recovering a single chair. When one piece of a suite wears out, a separate piece may be purchased to replace it. Ensemble Idea Good The same idea of ensembles may also be worked out iq connection with designs and styles in furnishings. Any one who has tried working out a room in reproductions entirely from one historic period will realize immediately the special benefits to be derived from the ensemble rather than the exactly matched groups. A tiresome, museum-like appearance is avoided and a charming, livableness Introduced. Subtle harmonies have an original charm that is vastly more pleasing than the obviousness of exact matching. The main consideration in working out new ensembles for this winter is to make sure that harmonies among the several pieces do exist. The heaviest, sturdiest designs of one period are likely to overshadow the more delicate, graceful pieces of another. You can mate fine antiques with modern pieces of one period w'ith another, however, if you are careful to insist that all of the furniture used harmonizes in line and proportion. Another new note is emphasized this autumn. Each piece of furniture need no longer be of the same wood as the rest. With perfect propriety now you may bring into a single room a chair of one wood, tables of another, a desk of a thifd and yet another piece or two with a painted finish. Many Woods Harmonize Many woods harmonize in color and texture and give variety and sophisticated interest to the room. Brown mahogany has many qualities which make it akin to w-alnut, and therefore permit its use with walnut. Many fine and rare woods are being used to trim and decorate large pieces of furniture. You can blend in a single chair or little table of these rare woods to the artistic benefit of the whole. As illustrative of the successful ensemble intrroduced in a living room, the davenport is upholstered m a brocade of rich tan. with rose and soft green in it. There is walnut chair upholstered in practically the same tan, in a brocade of a different design, with a silky pattern, as an arm chair upholstered in a homespun in the sofest rose afid tan. The curtains use all three of the main colors in their design, a colorful yet delicate pattern in glazed chintz. In this room, too, a gateleg table of mahogany blends nicely with the walnut of the other pieces. Bridge Party Slated Members of Phi Gamma Rho sorority will be entertained with a bridge party Wednesday night at the home of Mrs. George Tove, 827 North Linwood avenue. Arrange Rush Party Plans for a rush party to be held early in October will be made at a meeting of Alpha Pi Sigma sorority tonight at the home of Miss Pauline Blackburn. 354 South Arlington avenue.

DAVENPORT AND CHAIRS HARMONIZE

A living room sponsors the ensemble theme in furniture by having the davenport and two separate chairs upholstered in materials that harmonize rather than match and by using two kinds of wood in the furniture. The sofa is upholstered in damask of rich tan, rose and green, the walnut chair uses tan damask and the arm chair tan and rose homespun. The corner gateleg table is mahogany.

Mrs. Campbell Is Hostess at Club Luncheon Members of the Sesame Club were entertained at luncheon Monday at the home of Mrs. Sam Campbell, 29 North Hawthorne lane, in observance of the beginning of their thirty-first year. ' The table was covered \ th a redchecked cloth and lighted by way coal oil lamps. The centerpiece was an old silver condiment castor. Two bouquets of old-fashioned garden flowers decorated the table. Covers were laid for sixteen. The living room was decorated with zinnias and marigolds and a number of heirlooms.

HOW to PLAY. iotiMOWMON

The beginner is introduced to backgammon in the following article, the first of a series on “Today's backgammon" which Elizabeth Clark Boydcn has written exclusively for The Times and XEA Service. She is the author of “The New Backgammon" and co-author of ‘Contract Bridge for l!)"l)“ and "Contract Bridge for BY ELIZABETH CLARK BOYDEN Written for NEA Service THE amazing revival, in America. bf the old game of backgammon is one of the most remarkable developments in the world of games. The history of backi&mmon is most interesting. -Of very ancient origin, it was probably the first game to combine luck and skill. Some form of this game, under various names, is played in practically every country in the world. Backgammon was * very popular in America about twenty-five to fifty years ago. It was distinctly a home game, and gradually disappeared

Here's what a backgammon board looks like. You can make your own, out of ordinary cardboard, until you see whether you like the game. Dice and checkers are the only other necessary accessories. from public notice when the whist family turned the attention of the world to playing cards. An astonishing number of people have no recollection whatever of the game and even think it is a new game of cards. Others have a vague idea that it is in some way associated with checkers. A National Game Now About a year and a half ago this game suddenly was revived in a small way at some of our fashionable resorts. From the small beginning it has spread rapidly and this summer found it very popular in all parts of the country. Easily adapting itself to out-of-doors. backgammon parties on beaches and on the porches have been a favorite form of entertainment. The game of backgammon is not difficult and can be easily learned and enjoyed by old and young alike. The rules are few and simple and it is to be hoped they will remain so. Many features have contributed to the success of backgammon. Perhaps the most important of these is the fact that, while the ch oice of the throw brings in a distinct element of luck, there is opportunity for real skill. Backgammon is essentially a game for two people, and, as there are comparatively few really good games for two. this has contributed much to its long life. It distinctly eases the problem of the hostess who finds herself with two

or three odd people, too few for a table of bridge. It also can be played in a much shorter space of time than a rubber of contract, and can be dropped at almost any moment without embari rassment to the player. Backgammon is played on an ! especially designed board, as shown in the accompanying sketch. This board is divided in the center by a 1 partition called the “bar.” | Each side of this bar is divided | into two tables, each containing six points of contrasting colors. The two tables on the player's side jof the board and separated by the j bar are called that player's inner and outer tables. This board usually is found on I the inside of a checkerboard. It can, | however, be purchased separately. Checker and Dice Used Accompanying the board are two i sets of checkers or men, fifteen each i in contrasting colors, usually black | and white, red and white, or red and ' black. Four dice, two for each | player, usually are provided, together with a shaker for each player. Next we will set up our checkers in the tables as they should be arranged at the beginning of the game, and show how a real game actually is started.
