In this room, to be used for either of the above purposes and furnished accordingly, a departure, which after all is merely apparent, will be made from the scheme for the sake of variety. Two of the triad of colors, yellow and blue, when mixed together produce green. We may thus use green prominently with rose and still pursue the general plan, if that colour be helped out by smaller portions of its components to carry through the general effect and so satisfy the eye.

For this room let us adopt, then, the scheme of rose, ivory white or grey, and green, with touches of modified blue and yellow. We still have the light warm grey walls, oyster white woodwork, and dark grey polished floor. Add to these ivory white or grey furniture. Let the rug be of soft green. At the windows, in addition to the white curtains, use a chintz of grey or cream ground with rose sprigs and green leaves (or a small pattern in the same colouring) and employ this also on the large arm-chair. The small chairs should be cushioned in solid rose to match that hue in the curtains; and if that chances to be a coral shade it will be a variation from that previously adopted. Touches of modified yellow and blue are now needed. The screen could well be old gold: so could the shades for the lamp and side-lights. Dull blue pottery bowls or candlesticks will be in order. There is an exquisite tone of warm grey to be found in "Canterbury Webster Poplin", Style 2036, 50 inches wide, and this or similar goods could be used for the door hangings, they being banded near the bottom with the old blue of the pottery. If the tones are properly chosen this room will have a soft, atmospheric effect of modified but abundant colour.

If this scheme is used for a boudoir with a communicating bedroom for the lady of the house then the same colouring should be employed for that also, with some minor changes in the location of {he various tones.
