GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
BY Laura A. kirkman

cant have too many cushions around in
the winter time"
People who are blessed with an open
fire in the living room have even greater
opportunities TO cosy up" their homes
for the cold weather. There is nothing
that makes one feel quite as Indifferent

viii offer ones 3 feet "A downy place TO rest
One Of the popular brass wood boxes are
picturesque And an old-time high
backed settle makes a cosy nook if stood
at right angles with the fireplace.
This is what one little bride did TO
obtain this settle effect: she went 10 a
| large department store and bought an
unpainted pine Colonial ironing table"
in the kitchcn-wnre department,-the
kind that forms a table when four pegs
secure the fiat tabletop to the lower part,
and which forms n hgh-backed settle
when the fiat tabletop part is released
at one side and swung upward 10 that
/ IL IS held by only two pegs. Her hlis-
band painted this with a brown stain and
they used it at the fireplace with large
piece Of drak-green velour draped over
the back and seat, and a green cushion
at one end. IL was an artistic triumph
at little cost.

home more habitahle for the cold

want to swap off old wives for new.
How do YOU know their wives are
not tired of them and glad To have
them go? A woman OF nifty or sixty
may be done with romance. or It may
merely be that her husband doesn't
look romantic to her as he doZcs over
a newspaper by the fire. and she
would like to have a more lively com
panion herself. IL YOU could look into
the minds of old wives you would
find many of them are bored 10 death
with their husbands. II is hard to live
with a man forty years, and stay in
love with him. You know him too
well.
~ lot of women of flfty or sixty.
released from the cares of rearing a
family and helping TO build up a for
tune, would like TO have a fling them
selves. Not with another man. Heaven
forbid, They have had enough of
matrimony, and its trials and tribula-
/ tions, but there are other things for
them to enjoy-pretty clothes, books,
! travel. plays, cards, opera-the things
| they have never had time for, or
money for, in their busy working
years.

could have these things in freedom
would be perfectly happy.

Hes a good man, as men go, but
there are lot of things about him
