A light table desk and chair of willow furniture is appropriate as part of the furnishings for a dainty bedroom drapery, and can be washed. Two-back settee and chairs of this sort will cost about $100 with a square rug of plain peacock blue. The furniture is white enamel and wicker painted white, and the chair- cushions and window draperies are of chintz of quaint de- sign. It is white, and the birds and flowers blue, red and green, with a little touch here and there of yellow. The bedstead is white enamel, with cane panels in the headboard and footboard; the dressing table is also white enamel, with a glass slab; we have one wicker armchair, also painted white, and a big wing chair upholstered with the peacock cretonne. A small wicker table stands by the bedside and utility boxes in the two windows. The estimate for this rooms is as follows: Room no. 2—-peacock room: Bedstead, $40.00; dressing table, $55.00; wing chair with peacock cushions, $25.00; one wicker arm- chair, peacock cushions, $6.00; small wicker table, $3.00; two utility boxes cov- ered with matting, serving as window-seats, $1.25 each, $2.50; two pairs muslin half- sash curtains, $1.00 per pair, $2.00; curtains of peacock print, 98c. a yard, Si 2.00. Total, $144.50. The material selected for Room No. 3 is equally attrac- tive. The roses are not pink, as might be expected, but are violet. This material is the same price as the Peacock" The "Violet Rose" Room contains two windows, and these can be draped with pretty muslin curtains and above them a deep ruffle of the cretonne. The curtains should only come to the top of the sill, as the windows are furnished with utility boxes. The one wicker armchair is painted pale violet to match the cretonne, and is supplied with cretonne cushions, and a small rush-bot- tomed rocking chair is made comfortable with a cushion of catawba-colored silk. The wicker table at the side of the bed is also painted violet. A bedstead and a chiffonier complete the furniture of this room, which is as follows:
