Yours truly, THREE nope ate VIOLETS. _ Answer: 3 2 Well - Violets your little problem is one that is found where ever boys and girls congregate. In the first place a - girl who gains popularity by catering to the boys is not really as popular in , the 'true sense of the term as she ap- pears to be.

If floor, in the furniture coverings and draperies there would be such a con- fusion of pattern that none of it could be appreciated. Yet how often do we see this very effect! Consider a room whose wall paper + shows a pattern of bold design "and coloring, and visualize a colorful pic- ture against this background. You can imagine the effect: Design upon de- =-- iy blur. On this wall a "space"--either a mirror or a piece of. self-patterned damask--might be hung, or it should be left without further decoration. Against this same type of background one often finds draperies--carefully chosen as to color, to be sure--but also striking in pattern and again creating | the impression of confusion. The sec- ret of a successful room in this case is to make use of perfectly plain drap- | ery materials, or self-striped hangings, since the latter help in creating the impression of space. ; Now as to the floor. Too often a woman will choose a richly patterned rug or carpeting which, although beautiful in itself, does not harmonize with a room already filled with de- sign. It is also forgotten that the fur- niture will not only break up the sur- face of the floor covering with shad- YOU KNOW THE ROOM Perhap's it's one of the "back rooms'--at any rate it's the room you've never done much about -- well, partly because you did- n't feel like spending the money on it. Surprising, though, how little it costs to make the room pre- sentable. Imagine for instance, a rose and green and cream rug on the floor. Wouldn't it add color, sunshine, neatness ? Easy cleaning, too, if it's a Gold Seal Con- goleum Rug and the cost? Not so much 6 ft. x 9 ft--7 ft. 6 in. x Ct. > 1. so nh o<t: «10 TG 6 in.--9 ft. < 12 ft. in the furniture may be confused with the pattern of the rug. In other words, design placed upon design produces a conflicting decorative note and the impression-value of both are lost. If you will study these combinations for a moment you will see that a space is necessary to accentuate and relieve the design, just as a pattern is neces- sary to relieve the use of too much open space. Therefore, to be certain of achiev- ing the harmonious note in your de- corative scheme, allow your back- ground--the floor, walls and ceiling-- to provide the necessary open spaces, to offset the design introduced into the room itself. ee oe Recently there's been quite an in- crease of interest in broadloom Car- pets and signs seem to point to a fur- ther favoring of this distinctive floor covering.
