FOR THE NURSERY

Wall paper effects in chintzes are much
used in the modern nursery. A delight
full room recently seen had a deep frieze
of pink chintz which had water lilies
and their green leaves all over ii. The
upper third was of dark green cartridge
The bed hangings were also of the
chintZ and Were arranged on a hoop over
the bed. They were edged with mar
row, pale pink guimp. as were also the
curtains. The tiny light willow rockers
and chairs had down cushions and pads
covered with chintz, which gave the
nursery a summery appearance.
Another idea for nursery curtains
which pleases the children Is the scrim
which has red and blue rampant lions
all over the white background. This
sounds grotesque, but the cloth is really
effective.
to make a window attractive. One of
the prettiest ideas for the nursey is the
use of transparent pictures. These trans
parencies can be made by any photog-
rapher from. views made by the anna
teur photographer, or from beautiful
pictures.
Flower and landscape pictures are de-
sirable, but IN the matter Of selection
individual taste has to be consulted. The
transparencies are always framed to keep
the pictures from coming in contact with
the window panes in cold weather. A
good size for each picture is sStNs inches.
A pretty idea which was carried out
in a model nursery was the use OF
Mother Goose and Kate Greenway figures
in transparencies. This window was al
WAYS the center Of attraction to the lit
tie people,, and II kept them in the sun
shine when theY were indoors.

IF YOU WANT PRETTY ARMS.

Did you ever notice the hands of a
French woman? They are chic, like
everything about her. Long before she
dons her frock, her arms and hands are
dressed as it were. Perhaps she has
spent an hour doing this, but do not
think for an instant that it does not
pay. y She removes her gloves at the
table with great ease and assurance,
knowing that the kid glove hides no
defects.
The busy housewife may have little
time to spend at her toilet table, yet
she can do much for her hands even in
the two weeks between the receipt of
the dinner invitation and the eventful
night. Let her begin at once by wear
ing gloves Right until morning. After
breakfast she must slip on pair of old
kid gloves, too, and wear them while
day she bathes the hands occasionally
with the following lotion. letting II dry

An Afternoon Cup of Chocolate.

There are many women who find tea
in the afternoon undesirable. That Is
no reason why The comfortable ana
friendly habit Of having light refresh
ments at o'clock need be given up. To
be sure. tea is the best beverage on TINS
score-it is less likely TO dull the appe-
tite for dinner. But chocolate at -FOUR

II is we'll not to encourage a tea
drinking habit in the school girl On

and the chocolate cup can he made a
center Of refreshment and friendliness
for her.
The attention given TO the preparation
of chocolate for afternoon tete-a-tetes
makes it not only a warming but a
nourishing drink. The first essential is
that it shall be creamy. and this is OBJ
tanned by grating the unsweetened choco-
late. and allowing 1t to dissolve over
the fire with very little water When
it is thoroughly smooth the milk issheat-
ed in separate dish and the two finally
mixed together and allowed to bell mod
erately for at least five minutes
After this the saucepan is removed
from the stove and the liquid beaten ten
or flfteen minutes, when IL is returned
TO the fire and a cupful of cream added
The most successful of the young host

IN this way rather than whipped and
dropped a spoonful in each cup. Though
the best way Of all is to mix the cream
with the chocolate and lacking thick
cream TO whip have a goodly supply of
milk beaten to a stif froth with the
whisked white of egg.

The china in which II is served Is an
equally important feature. and some of
the most charminEly decorated pots ana
cups to match are employed Tor this
purpose Odd porcelain pitchers also do
sert,ice as Teceptacles for the chocolate,
in which case tall soda fountain cups
with handles are used to drink from.
The most unique of the fine China

shapely jug with a iower-like flarinS
