CHARMING NEW MATS

FASHIONABLE SILK DESIGNS. There are some new designs-recently ■ out in rubber mats (writes a Londoner). The ones I have just seen are a complete change from others that we have liked so much. The artist who thinks out these patterns has been casting liis eyes round for fresh inspirations. He has cribbed ideas, I’m sure, from the multi-coloured small-patterned crepe de chine frocks we 've been” wearing this summer. For brightening up a dull bathroom I liked a mat composed of hundreds of circles in different colours. Thcsv appear to be flung in the background in careless profusion. They look like a bag of giant confetti spilt outside a church porch. The border is black. Another pretty mat would look well before the built-in washstand in ; a chintzy bedroom. This border is also black and very wide. There is a centrepiece of glorious blue, in which a stiff little posy stands.
