BRIDES TWO WAYS
TO FURNISH HONE
Spending May Be Dis
tributed or Concentrated
When Necessary.

-HERE are two alternatives in
setting Up a home at a moderate
expenditure OF money. BY one
plan a little money IS spread out
thin over the whole house, and by the
other it is put On thick in the most
necessary places
Quite needless 10 say. the second one
commends itself 70 the wise and

the most alluring temptations.

Is able 70 resist the desire 20 start out
with her whole nest completely furnish

policy Of having a few things at first
and those Of the best quality.
When there is a little new home 10
be started and not much "siIler in the
purse" the home-makers will be very
wise If they consider first OF ali the
bedroom and the kitchen.
Since sleeping and eating are at the
: basis Of al life, these Two rooms cannot
be too carefully considered in any
I scheme OF furnishing.
The modern kitchen is nowadays so
well furnished by the builders that
there is little large furniture needed.
If, however, there IS no built-in cup
board. with drawers beneath, a kitchen
cabinet is q wise investment. as Il IS a
great labor saver.
One or two kitchen tables. covered
with white OIL cloth, a stool. the right
I height 70 suit the table or sink. and a
step ladder chair are all greatly de-
sirable, unless the kitchen Is a tiny one

with nuts and the supper menu

Horse chestnuts strung together in
