The charming effects that can be gained
by the use of entonne in housc-fumish-
ings have _been realised by clever house-
keepers for sometime; but the now cie-
tonnos are es cially interesting when con-
aldqring fumlkeblngs for summer homes.
l'g*'ths city houso eretonne curtains and
o €|"draperiea are generally considered
I,m0_re appropriate for bedrooms; but ln the

wire li-namework covered with cretonne.
Tlicsc are for sale in the fine housefnni-
ishing shops and are very cxponsive in
price; but the majority of thoiur seem to
pruscnt few difficulties to the lioineworker,
and would bc copied with very small ex-
penditure.
One of tho newest and must attractive
of these lamp sliudcs is also one of tho
easiest to make. The wire fmme is one
of thc simple, round shapes, and costs
about 35 cents. 'l`lic wires of this friune
should first be covered ncntly, nud to do
this silk souin binding, which comes at
tcii cents a bolt, ciin be used vory con-
veniently. The crm-tonne uscd for the
cover should be of ratlior hcuvy quulity,
and should have ia very well-covered du-
sign ovci' a creanrcolorcd or tinted
gi-uunki.
The iinpur-ted crctonncs showing rich
fruit and flower pntlcrns arc generally
used for this purpose, but \vcl| rcpny the
expenditure. The lamp shade referred to
is made by cutting a circle of the crctonne
about six inches larger than the outside
of the wire frnine. An opening, or hole,
ls tlicn cut in thc middle to fit nbout the
top, or collur, of the shnilc. Gilt tnpi-s»
try _braid or em-tonne fringe ls used as u
finish, the braid being ciipeoinlly liked, ns
it bus the advantage of being a novelty.
Especially in favor nrc tlioso crctnnncs
50 inches wide and of Elizabethan put-
tern, the individual design of which is it
carnntion about tliruc and a half inches
across, combined with n conventional
flowcr and nn irrogulnr ribbonlikc close
vine effect on a plnin background. Home
of the color sclivlni-s are ln\-onilur and soft
old yellow, pale yellow, and di-lft blue, a
deep red, n roncdn grocn.
A certain establishment rv-nowncd in
this kind of work displays bedroom suits
upholstered in 35~cerits-s-yard crctonncs,
and they riipri-sent th\» vi.-ry lat:-st novelty
in tho combining of cretonnc and wood. ln
these sets the bed, dresser, cliiffonicr and
tables, as well as the chairs, sofa and
screen, aro upholstered in cretonne.
A new dressing buionu is almost en-
tirely covered in eretonne. It has a square
mirror and two shallow drawers at either
side. The front is hollowed out so that
the user may approach nearer tthe mir-
ror, which is not beveled at the edge. its
sides of thc burcuu and front of the draw-
ers are covered with the erotonne, put on
plain, and a pluited valance hangs below
the drawers. The top of the bureau is oi
plain enameled wood.. r
The ripple pnltcrns show spheres rung-
irig in size from one and s half to three
inches, in miin_\' iilmilcs of red, crowding
cnch other urnong green vines on a Wliito
background.
Tuffofii, which belongs to the crctonne
family, is n \voi\vc which is used to intro-
duce some of the dainticst mid st the
some time the mont inexpensive hangings
of the season. Plain tsffcta, usually of a
cream or or-oom~white sbado, instead of
being pluin, pmscnts n brocude surfucc of
vcry tiny figures or dots. For this rc-nson
it is espscinlly suitable for window drap-
nries, a pleasing variation being made by
adding on applique border of roses and
vincsor any fiivorito flower cut from a
patterned crotonne and applied to the
goods. A clever woman can do this her-
self.
A bedroom in a country house was up-
holstered in mauve crotonne, showing s
whllc grouiid wi-il covered with a design
of mauve orchids and tiny yellow prim-
runes tied with narrow mnuvc ribbons
which followod a continuous wuvy line all
over the cictonnc, and thc window and
door hnngings were of plain crctonne fin-
ished with an applied border of mauve
and yellow flowers, '
A white enameled bedroom suit was up~
holsterod in a crotiinrio which retails at
35 ccnts a ynnl and which is known as the
rose block pntta-rn. On n white background
