Now thero are linens, blankets, comfortables,, and covers available in such .a. wide ■range of :colour that the discriminating ...hosts, ess 'can plan. » separate colour scheme for every bedroom and guest room. _ ■ Apricot and gold present a harmonious scheme for a bed ensemble. White pcrcalo sheets and pillow cases appjiqued with triangles of peach, a reversible blanket of. apricot and gold, and a satin comfortable in tones that, shade from apricot to gold, make up an attractive ensemble. Green and orchid suggest another happy colour scheme. Green flowers appliqued upon orchid cotton sheets and eases, a revers'ble blanket which utilises both,those, colours and is bound with, one of them, an orchid satin quilt with cut corners, which follow tho chrysanthemum motif of the quilting make a smart outfit for the guest room. .
