| Easy to Picturesque Bungalow Decorate Birch Bark and Fishnets Were Used in Two Cases to Achieve a Delightful “ Atmosphere’’—Even a Piece of Matting Comes in Handy. By Andr Conyriaht, 1915, by The Press Pubtiah OWADAYS the word bungalow has come to have such an extraor- dinarily wide lati- tude, being applied to anything from @ mansion to a portable shack, that the furnish- ings used must be as varied os the bungalows themselves. In household decoration, as in everything else, one should, to use a homely proverb, cut the garment ac- cording to the cloth, and the decor- ative schemes I am about to suggest are those suitable to the inexpensive summer home of the man or woman of moderate means. Although simplicity should be the keynote of the furnishings of all summer homes that are !n good taste, this should not be carried to the point of bareness, as I have sometimes seen tt done. Rooms, like people, are Dot interesting unless they display a certain amount of individuality, and in the bungalow there is much more chance for displaying this quality than in the more conservative winter home, Much, for instance, can be done with inexpensive and easily at- tainable things, which, {f properly used, will make a charming Interior out of even the most roughly finished room. Take, for example, the living room of a certain little bungalow that was bullt on a steep hill among the trees ot a Catskill resort. Here the bark and gnarled branches of some of these same trees were used most effectively to form the balustrade of the balcony at one end of tho big e Dupont ing Co, (The New York Evening World), living room. Where such a finish ts delightful tn a woodland home, be- cause it exactly suits its environ. ment, it would not be quitable for ‘a house In a small town or a cottage at the seashore. There is nothing new in the use of fishnets for dec- orative purposes in seashore cottages, and, truth to tell, this sort of decora- tion often serves as an examplo of what not to do; but for an unplas- tered house with rough beams and corners cut off by the fall of the roof {t certainly makes a picturesque cetl- ing drape. In fact, so enamored has 4 certain friend of mine become with this decoration that he calls his bun- galow “The Fishnet.” Even so commonplace a thing as a piece of matting sometimes makes an effective decoration, I have seen a room where a width of ecru matting with a dark red figure circles the wall ubout six feet from the floor and ts finished on either edgo with an oak moulding matching the 9-inch base- board, Between the baseboand and the matting the rough finished wall is colored a ight brown, The fow inches between the matting and'the celling were also stained this same tone Window curtains for the bungalow never fall below the alll, Scotch madras, net, cross stripe cretonne and English chintz are all good for this purpose if they harmonize with the other furnishings of the room. The couch covers and door hangings should be of cretonne or chints to match the curtains, or of denim or burlap, and the rugs should be of the cottage or Quaker rag variety or of fibre or matting, A house fitted with floor coverings and draperies of this kind cannot help but look cheerful and attractive whatever the weather, The Housewife’s Scrap Book.

When cooking rhubarb add an equal quantity of chopped c>tes or figs + you will need no sugar. It will also increase the food value of tho rhu- barb, For the pot roast try the cross rib. It makes a most delicious roast and there 1s absolutely no waste. If you use oll lamps in the summer bungalow put a pinch of salt into the lamps when you fill them witb oll. You will secure a much brighter light by this method, Jf you spill milk or grease on a hot ateve you can prevent the consequent odor tf you sprinkle salt over it at ones.
