FOOD FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME | PAGE. Pleasant Outlook and Good Interior Should Be Provided—Requirements for Boys and for | Girls—\Walls and Floors Considered. HEN selecting & room for a| child, choose one with a sunny aspect and a pleas- | ant outlook. Good ventila- tion also is very escential.| hysical standpoint. we have | long gnized that a child's room | must have plenty of fresh air and sun- | light, proper exposure, radiation, and lighting. These are matters which con cern the physical well-being of a child From an educational standpoint, we have provided the right books, the right | pictures, the right play equipment, but | not until recently have we realized that there are psychological values which must be added to the others if we are to have maximum results. A child should also find in his room such things as freedom. security, permanency and ownership, which are qualities that further the development and growth of personality. This rcom should also be & sanctuary. There should take place in it no punishments, no humiliations, and | no emotional storms and confliets. If discipline is required, it should take place outside, so that no unhappy as- sociations may destroy the happy ones. Type of Furnishings. The age of a child who occupies & room should decide the type of fur- nishings to use. If a room is planned for & tiny baby, where a crib is neces sary and bathing facilities must be provided, is necessary to consider this. In this case it is wise to choose furnishings that may be changed slightly as the child grows older. Proper arrangement of the furniture will give space and comfort. If the bed is to be placed in the nursery, select a lace where drafts may be avoided. As| he child grows older, choose a place under a window for table and chairs. allowing the child to look outside while sitting at play. The idea that discarded pieces of furniture are good enough for children to climb over and carve_their initials on has been changed. Instead, pride ssession is fostered in young minds providing well-made furniture of In conjunction with it ayly patterned curfhins, l which serves to ornament a cupboard and is brought into use at meal times if needed, sim- Pple pictures and friezes in attractive colorings, and a place where the child may have a private shelf for play- things and other possessions. Special furniture of all kinds is con- stantly bemng made and improved for children. Built-in_equipment. such as shoe racks, adjustable clothes racks, low shelves, cupboards, window seats, end even small desks are cleverly placed just high enough for little folks. A built-in desk has drawer space under- neath for storing away papers, pencils and treasures of the day Cork carpet and rubber flooring are ®oth suitable for the nursery floor, being quiet to the tread. They are easy to keep clean, and can be enlivened by the introduction of gay, washable rugs. A preference 15 sometimes shown for mat- ting with a colored border, and if a vacuum cleaner is available, this is a good treatment, but it is easier to clean cork carpet than matting. Wall Treatment. Both cclor and texture should be taken into account when considering wall treatrzent. The wrong color may | entirely spoil the character of the room, making it cheerless and depressing in- sdead of warm, bright and gay. and the Wrong texture may cause endless work in ing rid of finger marks. A glossy enamel paint provides a satis- factory wall surface, and if cream or com color is used, a pleasant back- ground will be the result. If wall paper 1s used. it should be of a special variety #hat can be scrubbed. Such wall paper | 15 easy to find. and with it may be used a series of stencil designs sprayed in soft colors. Children enjoy figured rather than plain fabrice. Amusing designs orna- ment cretonne used for windows and small chairs. Use short draperies which may be pulled back most of the time. Have a pleasant window seat for | toys. Friezes may be introduced to de- | light the eyes of children and stir their imaginaticn. In these friezes nursery | favorites and country scenes appear, or animals silhouetted” in black. ~ Such friezes should be fixed at a level where they come within the easy vision of ‘tle folks. Boy's Room. The floor finish and coverings in a boy’s room are very important, for he needs a floor that will stand lots of souffling, and inexpensive rugs that will stand a lot of wear. Many attractive linoleums are on the market now, and one of the simple designs in dark tones might be the very thing for a boy's Toom, or a plain_painted floor in deep green, brown or black would be a fine solution in a house with old flooring. A lively boy, trying to contend with highly polished floors and small rugs that slide, can't be very happy, nor can his mother when she sees the disorder in which such rugs are sure to be found. The type of rug which you can have woven from old carpets and dyed a solid color in various soft shades would be admirable for your boy's room, for they are thick and heavy enough to lie flat and stand hard wear. and so inex- pensive that scuffiing will be no cause for alarm, and even a spilled ink bottle will not be a tragedy.

A | good mirror should be hung over a| chest of drawers, and there should be a | waste paper basket, footstool, an elec- | tric heater and a student lamp with a cord long enough so that it can be used at will on either a study table or a bed- | ide table. No matter how fine a boy's| room may be, it will be a failure if it lacks a correct reading light and suit- able heat. Every boy needs a bookcase of sim- ple and inexpensive type. not only to encourage him to add to his library and to care for his books properly. but also to provide space for other things Which may seem of slight value to his| mother, but which are very important to him. Girls are often given the rooms with the most closet space, but this item should not be ignored in & boy's room. Ample closet space will help inspire him to hang up his clothes. | Boys of about 10 years are not very critical so far as interior decoration goes, and it may seem inappropriate to buy new things for & lively boy whe will promptly scratch them up. but no one appreciates his own room more than a boy of this age. in spite of his wear and tear. No one has so many aluable possessions, judged by his own tandards, and no one has greater need of a place to keep them, together with a comfortable, satisfying corner of his own in which to lounge. take his radio to pleces. or read and study : A small room is not necessarily a hardship for a boy. It is likely tha he really does not need so much room s a girl, since he isn't around the deal. and his dressing and toilet maneuvers are, at least up to a certain age. bound to be simple but even a small room. perhaps with a sloping celling and only one or two windows. can be made very attractive and comfortable. Young Girl's Room. If new furniture is to be bought for a girl's room, the problem is more or less simple. First, decide upon the finish that will best fit into the plan of the room. If you prefer the wood finish, either maple or mahogany is suitable for a young girl's bed room keeping to the simple Colonial repro- duction pieces. A low, four-post bed, a chest of drawers with either a hanging mirror or a stand for the top of the chest. a small sewing table. and two rush-seat chairs are essential for the room. are a desk. a small bookcase, possibly one to hang on the wall, and a com- fortable chair. either an all-upholstered one or a wicker chair, with a cretonne- covered cushion. There are many good reproduction pieces on the market. with simple lines and good finish, and they are moderate in price. If you decide upon painted furniture you can either order the pieces to match your color sample, or buy un- painted. In the event that you wish to paint over some of your old pleces. it is better to get some other furaipire unpainted and finish them all together. It is almost impossible to match paint accurately. Flower decorations should be avoided in rooms where there are Aowered overdraperies, but a fine line in a deeper tone adds to the effective- ness. My Neighbor Says: Ham becomes very tough if fried in_a very hot pan: bacon burns. Place ham or bacon in a cold pan, then set over a mod- erate heat and cock slowly until ham is tender and bacon crisp. When using flour as a substi- tute for cornstarch, when sugar is used. mix the flour and sugar together, and the flour .will not curdle. To remove fruit and vegetable stains from table linen. soak in a strong solution of borax. Powdered starch rubbed over soiled spots on wall paper will remove them. If you make your own soap, use an egg beater to stir it after it is all put together. It will take much less time for the stir- ring.
