IF you have a brand-new nursery or one which needs a freshening touch, I can heartily recommend this soft tufted rug (Figure l) with its white bunny against a blue or pink background, and a set of tufted curtains to match. To complete the picture you may also have a closely tufted crib spread
and pillow cover. This work is done in the South and combines what I consider the three most essential requirements of nursery decoration — daintiness, durabil
ity, and a charm which will appeal to the child as well as to grown
ups. The rug measures 22 x 27 and costs $4. 50. The curtains, 68 long, are $3. 00 a pair; the spread,
45 x 51 , $4. 25, and the pillow cover, 14 x 17 , $1. 75. The rugs may be had with either a pink or a blue background, and the curtains and spread come in either blue or pink, with tufting in white and
a lighter shade of blue or pink. The bunny, by the way, with pink nose and ears, is most intriguing. All prices include postage. — Miss

THE bicentennial of George Washington has brought to light many a dearly cherished Colonial relic,
some of which are being copied for the whole country to enjoy. The spread in Figure 2 is a copy of one used in Mount Vernon, which Martha Washington’s household
servants kept in such excellent condition that to-day the original could be copied in every detail. It is, of course, perfect on the mahog
any or maple bed, but it can also be used successfully on a painted bed. I suggest using a pair as curtains in
the same room. Of finest quality cream-colored cotton, the tufted geometric pattern is obtainable in any color or color combination. The single-bed size is priced $5. 75,
the full-bed size is priced $6. 25 —

HERE is a real alleviator for our present depression! A game of modern bagatelle (Figure 3) that
will make you forget the cares of the day and fill the house with shouts of merriment or cheerful wails of woe, according to your score and temperament. As a re
storer of neighborhood gayety it cannot be beaten. Even the most ardent contract player or golfer who holds club championships can join in without losing prestige, as skill and cunning are all to the good. It is just the game to have
I WAS delighted to discover this English crystal pepper shaker and saltcellar (Figure 4), which make, I think, a very good-looking and
quite unique set. As a matter of fact the covered saltcellar is really a mustard pot, but it matches up perfectly with the pepper pot and makes a most practical container for salt, especially at the seashore,
where dampness plays havoc with uncovered saltcellars or shakers. The saltcellar stands 5 1/4 high and costs, complete with glass spoon,
$3. 60. The pepper shaker, 4 3/4 high, is $4. 25, or $7. 85 for the pair.

The board is of maple and walnut construction, beautifully finished,
and the marbles are of polished metal. Size of board 30 x 15 .
