FOR PLAYROOM

The little folks in the nursery will not appreciate the rich colouring and soft texture of a Smyrna or a Daghestan, but they will be delighted beyond expression- with one of the pretty Delft rugs with a border around of jolly Dutch children dancing an endless "ring around rosy” at the edge, says a writer in the Montreal “Star/'* The cool neat blue colouring with the tiny Dutch babies in' blue and black on a cream ground is just the thing for a neat and cheerful nur- . scry, and, wall paper may be had to match the rug, with blue Delft colour from the wainscot up, and below that—in range of little eyes—the same jolly Dutch dancing children. 'White paint, white curtains in the windows and window seats with cushions of blue denim will complete a charming interior. On the blue walls may bo hung the pictures and coloured prints suitable for children, with frames of white enamelled wood, : and the simple nursery chair and low tables will also be white. Some low white enamelled shelfs over which blue denim curtains are drawn may bo built in a corner for they tidy- stowing away of playthings not in use, and as a final touch of colour red geraniums may be placed in one window and a jar of goldfish in the other.—" Christian Science Monitor/' '
