Her Room at College

[ You might even go so far as to have
single curtain at the door leading
into the hall, as this would enable you
/ to leave the door open without endan-
gering your privacy.
In Study Period.
/ OF course you will do quite a bit of
studying at college, and to this end
you must provide yourself with a book
case, unless Gas occasionally happens)
to do so.
You will also need desk, and pos
have therefore sacrificed your bureau,
you would be glad tn get one that has
mirror in the top. A mirror would
come in handy anyway, for often one
has only a minute for a fincl pat and
a last adjustment before rushing off
to class
If you do much grinding at night you
Will find that your eyes will be saved
a great deal of wear if you will get a
desk that has two gas lamps attached,
one at either side. They are So sit
uated that their light would be con-
centrated upon book placed in the
middle of the desk Of course there
will always be books in daily use, while
others are opened only for reference
The student would find it convenient
to have the ones she was using every
day always ready under her hand, so
for them she could secure a little book
case to stand on top of her desk, one
that is handily fitted up with a drawer
above, and a shelf below.
Another handy book rack is one de-
signed to stand beside the desk The
top is triangular shaped, the books fit
ting into the angle, while below there
is a tiny closet, which forms a shelf
also. Another style has three shelves
and a closet below.
Her Writing Table.
Many girls do not care for a desk,
contending that it is too cumbersome.
They will find many ingenious tables
which should just fill their needs. One
little table is equipped with a utility
box below, while another one, more
pretentious, is fitted with a drawer and
with a bookcase on one side, and
shelves on the other.
Still another compact arrangement
consists of low table with drawer
and a seat which. when not in use, fits
in underneath, thus slowing it cleverly
away.
The Utility Cox.
Utility boxes are Of all sorts and
descriptions They come with handles,
castors, wheels and feet so that they
may be moved about at ease. They
are generally of sandalwood inside,
while outside they come in sandalWood
wicker, mahogany with leather top and
brass trimmings, in mission finish
with cretonne covers, with stenciled
covers and so on.
Many of these make very handsome
seats with the addition of a cushion
or two The long ones may be con-
verted into very easy window seats,
while those shaped like cubes will fit
into any convenient niche, and do
nicely as a stool
Waste paper baskets and little stands
may be obtained to match, so that you
are not obliged to litter your room up
with too many styles.
When Quiet Hours Are Over.
OF course the girl at college plays as
much as she studies, and very often
more. She will find herself seriously
has not a tea table, set of dishes,
some silver and a few pots and pans.
chatting dish then by all means get one
of these, for the college graduate would
do Well if on emerging from the uni
versity cloisters she possessed a little
knowledge of cooking.
She will need a low table upon which
her tea set may sit always displayed
and ready for instant use, and also
some sort of tea wagon for conveying
goodies from room to room, fir she will
sn find that INST parties are generally
chip-in affairs.
If she has a taste for antiques, even
though it be not at all genuine, but
only suggestive, she might get one in
mahogany that when the lids are open
ed comes up something like sewing
machine. This has receptacles in !
which cups may be placed without |
fear of splitting. and is equipped with
handle and wheels
