MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE
nv DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.
A Large Room Calls for Larger De.
signs Than Does q Small One.

Not only when selecting furniture
should the size of a room be held in
mind. but when choosing the fabric
designs as we'll. A large room can
better take care Of a large patterned
material than can a small one. By
taking care of a pattern I mean not
letting it dominate its surroundings.
II a. certain material used In a
room is out of proportion to 1t. II 1t
is large in design while the room is
small. that material will dominate
and make the room appear full Of 1t:
And any room which seems full Of
furnishings gives the impression Of
being crowded.
Therefore, before selecting q GER
tain delectable cretonne you have
seen in the shops ask yourself II
its pattern Is suitable in size to the
proportions of the room for which
you intend it. And II your room Is
not above average do not select a
large. fiorid design.
The artist today has shown you
a cretonne slipcover on a chair. The
pattern is conservative. 1t does not
stand out decidedly from it's back
ground. The room in which 1t 10
used is of rather limited Dimensions
so 1t Is well that the coloring of the
material is conservative also. Bright
hues make an object more noticeable
and a chair should never be that in
a small room. Soft blues, grays and
green's, therefore, were chosen for
this small room furniture slip.

The problem in cooking for oneself
alone is to select foods that one can

wishes to have a, guest in to share
it with.
In the following menus I have not
touched upon breakfasts. for the

things for breakfast, day in, day

gestions for varying them.
When cooking potatoes it is best
to do q double portion-half for the

Your Child's Appetite

! Did it ever occur to you that one
OF the most important bits OF educa-
ton that a mother has to assume in
connection with her children is the
training Of their taste in food
This Is quite as important as train
ing them to speak with something
like correctness. In fact, q little
neglect in the latter matter may be
mended later by close eattention. but
the badly trained appetite is some-
thing that often clings to a man or
woman through life.
So 1t is really up to you.
The fact that you must impress
upon yourself from the start is that
to great degree likes and dis
likes in food are a matter of train

For instance, a child may show some

of vegetable. Now IL you make up
your mind to make the child eat this
vegetable in spite of a natural dis

A Conscience Brand box spring is made
of " individual steel coils-stood on end
each one highly tempered and properly bal

Box Spring each individual coil takes the
individual weight above it. The spring and
mattress "give" to fit your body-instead of
making Your body bend to fit hammock-like
spring, as with a woven wire or link spring. E--~
That is the science of bed spring making in
a nutshell. In addition to the coil principle,
the Conscience Brand box spring is up
holstered above the coils, which further assists
the mattress in its comfort-then the whole
thing is encased in our attractive, dust-proof
case of finest ticking. The result is the bed
spring supreme.
The next time you stay at fine hotel, look
under the mattress and most likely you will
find a Conscience Brand box spring. Hotel
managers long ago discovered that Conscience
