EASY MATTER TO BRIGHTEN UP
NORTH ROOM.
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use OF
Yellow as Probably the Best
Have the Curtains of Some
Transparent Material.

Have you bugbear Of a north room
that always eludes your attempts to
make it livable? Now that winter Is
here, 1T might be just the place for the
children to use as playroom, or the
older ones for quiet study and read
ing.
"The problem facing one who fur
nishes a north room is that Of making
lit light, bright and warm," comment
led Miss Araminta Holman, instructor
in home art in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. "Since this room
lacks sunshine, yellow Is the best color
to use. Yellow will cheer and bright
en- 1t, and yellow which has little
red to warm it will be better than a
cold color. Orange is the warmest
color. Browns are tones Of orange
and better to use than gray, black or
blue. One should use browns that
have more yellow than red.
"If the room Is 'den,' the furni-
ture may be walnut or oak, but If 1t Is
q bedroom, bird's-eye maple or cherry
may be used. The curtains should be
light, in tones of yellow or orange.
The material should be thin and trans
parent to admit all the light possible.
Backgrounds should be yellow or
orange-warm colors. The woods used
should be 10 harmony with the other
furnishings of the room. Dark tones
express formality, dignity, repose and
seriousness. Light tones express gay
ETY., youth and informality."
