A COMFORTABLE LOUNGE, Every bedroom should, if possible,con- tain a couch, if it be only of wicker, and especially is ane indispensable in the room of a guest, who frequently longs for a short nap, but refrains from tak- ing one in the fear of disturbing a beautifully made or decorated bed. Great furnishings, by the way, should not be so fine as to be over -powering. If the room he small, and there is no other place for a .couch it could be set at the foot of the bed, where, if sup- plied with castors, it may easily be moved when necessary. One suitable for use in a bedroom may be contrived. with very little trou- ble, and it is astonishing what treas- ures the attic -wild afford. I have a sofa in mine which was so unsightly Ws to tie absolutely useless. It was one of the old-fasbioned sort, with a carved back: not by any means an antique of graceful, shape and design, but a thorougghly plebian, uncomfort- able piece of f.urnitura. The back was - unscrewed and taken off, the soiled cov- er removed, and at a small cost new springs and a fresh cover of white cot- ton made it ready for a pretty spread and pillows, which transformed it com- pletely. This spread of sateen in blue and white matched the hangings of the room, and it was made by sewing a deep frill gathered on a cord to apiece of the material of a suitable size to cov- er the sofa. This particular frill, by the way was composed of small pieces pinned together, and as it was quite full the gathers concealed the seam wvery effectivelty., When finished, tos large pillows covered with the same materi- al as the spread were added, the result being a luxurious resting place on which one might while the weary hours away. pang .
