Home: Maker’s Hour At Hand as Winter Season Holds Forth Comfort and Beauty Al- > ways Waiting For Improvement Early winter generally finds the real home-maker with thoughts of replenishing the home that it may take on a coziness and brightness during the hol'day and winter sea- son. Knowing that the living room will be used for reading, writing and mu- ate, and that it is here the occas‘onal guest will join the family circle. this room forms the pivotal po'nt for tn{tial rejuvenation, followed by the other rooms in their natural se- quence of 'mportance. In going over the living room, there is frequently need for a new floor cover'ng and draperies. Near: ly always a chair or two recovered would help materially—and why not cover them with the mater‘al used for drapes, or perhaps the same color motif in a cretonne? Did you know that there {s a furniture shop in Casper that recovers and reno- vates old furniture? ; Tables can be added in most cases with good results—possibly an end table by a chair or davenport, an occasional table placed to hold an art object. or a few much read books or a hospitable little tilt top table for serving tea. Father's corner may need a bridge lamp, and mother cha'r might be made a little more attractive by an added junior floor or table lamp. Of course linens and textiles al- ways need replenishing most every year, and the wise housewife will take advantage of the linen sales and regular yearly pre-inventory white sales that are held in all the stores in January. Homemaking is an interest'ng business, and it is always a plea- sure to walk into a home where there ts reflected through the vigi- lant fores'ght of a loving home-mak- er, comfort, beauty and orde! — Mex President Interested In Budget Plans MEXICO CITY, Dec. 27,—Prest- dent Calles today announced his de- termination to balance the budget problems.
