THE NEW COLOUR SCHEMES.

In reviewing the new designs for interior decorations, it becomes evident that green, without a hint of the jado ! t^ >nc that so Jong dominated it, is to play a very prominent part in the j most up-to-.Jate schemes. It is time j this colour, with its infinite range and I graduations, returned to favour, for although it was done to death by the school of William Morris and his followers, it is a good colour to live witn. beneficial to the eyes and cheering to the spirits. A fresh spring green is to be the most popular of the many shades. \ cry little orange will appear in the new schemes, its recent exuberance having led to its temporary banishment. In its place conies a nice, clear buttercup yellow, which is to be used with parchment, ivory, or a soft beige. Violent contrasts are taboo and wo shall find the use of black in temporary abeyance.. The combination, i however, of two shades of the samo i colour will be much exploited. Lav- | endcr and purple* blush-rose pink and geranium, piimrose yellow and old gold, are all alliances that make for furnishing smartness. For the extremely modernist room, spring green, combined with cream and a touch of magenta in the cushions and covers, represents a note that ts to be sounded with emphasis. Gold goes well with this scheme, and caned furniture with gilt framing proves appropriate in its vicinity. Cretonnes and artificial silks display similar col-our-schemes.
