CURTAINS OF SEQUINS.

thoughts turn in spring.

When new houses are the talk of the dinner table, those that have been pioneers in tlio newest decorating art xnay be profitably remembered. Not everyone wishes to chooso curtains of shimmering sequins or dining tables of glass, but such exquisite conceits were the original idea of the beautiful Marquise dc Casa Maury, who was Miss Paula Gellibrand, writes a Londoner. _ ,» Her gold dining room in Grosvenbr Street has a plate-glass table resting on wrought iron, and the chairs have high backs and are covered in a lovely deep sky-blue velvet. Fuchsia is a difficult coiour with which to harmonise, but it can bo done if cleverly dealt with. In a boudoir rich purple silk cultains and bed covering can look luxurious against palest primrose walls, some delicate liand-paint-ing, and plenty of mirrors. This is llie choice of the marquise fr," her own room. Another —the drawing room —has orange-tinted walls, rust-red velvet curtains —for the windows are high, and commence at the floor. Throughout the house black-and-white marble is much used for fireplaces, and sunlight lamps are employed.
