sands is accurately reproduced in a

Correct Furnishings-Acccs
series That Add to the
Guest S Comfort.
IT HERE was a time when the

II HERE was a time when the
guest room was called the
spare room, and only too
often it was no misnomer. Spare as
20 locations. spare as to comforts,
in fact. il was anything but an abode
suggestive OF hospitality.
The guest room of our homes to-
day should be. ii not the best, GER
tsinly one Of the best rooms of the
house. away from the noise OF the
street. the kitchen and il possible.
the nursery.
Keep Children Away from Guest Room.
When the guest room has an oc-
cupant, the children of the house
hold should consider It sacred and
should never be allowed to enter or
even TO knock at its door without
FIRST consulting an older head.
Even a hostess sometimes spoils
the pleasure of the lovcliest Of guest
chambers by entering it too fire.
ouently with inquiries, etc. Ovcr-en-
tertainment is really worse than
none at all. One may assume that
a guest may perhaps want to be
alone when she seeks her room.
Turns Servants Room into Plcasan;
Chambers.
A wise woman has turned ali the
intended small servants rooms at
the top of her city house into guests
rooms, putting the servants down
stairs, so she was able to give each
guest a separate room, where quiet
reigned and no household arrange
ments interrupted.
No amount of money spent on
furnishing poor room can make 1t
q good guest chamber, but given a
good room, a very little furniture
and a good deal of thought, it can
be made perfect.
Walls Should Be Plain.
The walls OF guest room may be
plain or covered with a design, but
let the design be restful and not gro
tesque. Pictures, if used, Of course,
arc far better on plain ground. The
fewer the pictures the better, and
they should not be family likenesses,
but simple little prints or old-fash-
Toned silhouettcs.
The bed is the most important
factor of the bedroom furnishings.
Whether il be of iron, brass or an
heirloom four-poster, its mattress
must be Of the best. Pretty covers
by day and good blankets at night
cannot atone for hard, lumpy mat
tress. 1t is indeed wise housekeep-
er who sleeps occasionally in her
guest room bed to be sure of what
she is offering her friends.
Pleasant Surprises for Guests.
When the family has separated for
the night. how charming to ascend
TO a complete room with good
