days, though, that some mothers sim
ply can't resist fixing up some sort
OF room that the youngsters can
call their own. The plain mission fur
niture is being made in miniature now
and when one buys it unstained, II
may be made to match the things
already on hand at little expense. A
mother who has recently furnished
room for her two little girls, covered
the walls with plain green cartridge
paper, which the doctor recommended
on account of the children's eyes. The
windows Ia the room were rather
high, SO she had the carpenter put
board along the wall under each one,
about six inches from the floor SO
that the children can stand on II to
look out.
The furniture in the room is the
wonderful feature. considering how
little expense Of money and time were
put into it. The two cot beds stand
al opposite sides Of the room, and
are covered with pretty Powered Gre
tonne spreads IN the daytime. The
children use them as c0uches to play
on, and there is no nagging to keep
off the bed" for these plain little COW
ers are quite washable and 90 not

spread. Each child has its own little
chair made Of old chamber chairs
with the legs sawed of and pretty
cretonne cushions on the bottom.
An old pine bureau from the attic
was painted white like the chairs, to
hold the clothing. The commode Of
the same set is used as toy box,
and it Is so ingenious that even the
mother who has no regular nursery
will find IT a fine suggestion. The top
