NEW AND PRETTY BLINDS
In rooms with plain walls and plain carpet, a blind which is not plain has certain advantages. It breaks up uninteresting surfaces, and it has rather the effect of a picture, but of a picture which is necessary and, not merely Ornamental. .-. ■ ■ ' : "
Flowered materials'I'aro a good deal used for blinds just not\y and they.are given point by having 'tassels" made ot an immense bead or group of beads in the predominant colour of tho pattern. Sometimes the glazed surface of the blind is actually painted as a picture or in Cubist designs, which allow of very bright colourings. The designs aro kept in rather light, bright colours, in bright greens with • strong (ouches of black after the fashion of a Japanese print. In choosing the colourings,' the effect of light through the material must be reckoned with just as it is in the case of lamp shades.
