For Winter a fine woolen material, lined and interlined. makes the coat and the hood can match. The lining for the hood may be of wool.

Still in larger houses a library— which nowadays is quite frequently called a study—is usually included among the necessary ground floor rooms and experienced interior deco- | rators know that certain special prin ciples must be applied in choosing fu niture and hangings for such a room One expert on house furnishing rec- ommends a completely carpeted floor for the library. even when bare floors | and rugs are chosen for the rest of the house.

A plain heavy rug large enough to extend over almost all of the floor is really just as satisfactory. In old-time libraries shelves frequent- ly extended from the floor right to the cefling, and walls thus literally lined with books possessed & decided charm. of interest. This gives the effect of a recessed window. I think most of us agree that the most attractive bookshelves are the sort that are built into the room and finished to match the rest of the wood- work.

One of my friends. who makes a real success of her profession of school teach- | er, dined with me one evening last week, and as we sat in easy chairs be- | fore the wood fire I asked her the fol- | lowing question: “Tell me,” I said, “how all of you single women, graduates of high schools, normal and business col- leges, now supporting yourselves as trained workers, teachers, secretaries, librarians and Government clerks, man- | age and make ends meet these cosTly days." | ““She was quiet for a moment or two before answering. “How to give you a | comprehensive picture in a few words | tonight is a difficult t she said slowly. “In fact, it is such a big un- dertaking to make a composite picture out of the small army of women work- ing here in Washington that I could not do 1t But heving earned my daily bread among them for 15 years, I have seen and experienced and have a | pretty good idea of the probiem of liv- |ing as my friends andcotemporaries solve it. “One general summary. first, about all of us.
