MODERN NURSERIES.

The days when nurseries were just a room at the top of the house are long past. In the British Pavilion at the Paris Exhibition the model children’s room caused, perhaps, more interest than any other exhibit, and in England to possess the smartest nursery is. a matter of- importance to fashionable mothers (points out a Daily Chronicle writer).

< At the moment the new nurseries that Lady Zia Wernher has just built at Someries House are generally considered the last word in this mode. The large day room had white walls, but the dresser is painted, bright yellow, while the carpet and .some, of the woodwork is in royal blue. The night nursery is still gayer, being painted orange.

The walls are all fitted with cupboards on the American plan. Someries House has the advantage of standing in its own grounds in Regent’s Park, an ideal arrangement for children, and Lady Zia’s family of three spend much of their time round the water-lily pond in one corner of the garden.
