DEEP SEA ILLUSIONS
Fashions in bathroom fittings, once of purest whije, are still dabbling successfully with colour effects—a soft pink maybe, a delicate green, or even a pale blue can be highly successful if carried out with mats and towels to contribute tastefully to the scheme, states an exchange. But English bathrooms now go one step farther. Topping the tiled skirting, which can be relied upon to circumvent any untoward splashes, the wallpaper dominates the surroundings with its picturesque border of the ocean bed, where coy little flame-coloured fishes whisk in and out among the rocks and wavering spearlike growths. The watery illusion, of course, is maintained high into the walls until it is lost in the mazes of faint blue tinting.
