WHITE BUNGALOW

From the delights of the garden the
visitor steps just across the road and
enters unchallenged-this is one Of the
advantages Of Fairyland, you know-the
most charming white bungalow, from
which soft light CLEANS through the win
dows on the poisoning flower boxes Of
the wide brick porch. Within is liv-
ing room. just large enough for ordinary
size mortals to move around, but of
size that would make the most wonder

of-and finished throughout in white,
touched with mahogany-white book
cases built beside wide fireplace, min

French housekeeping, in fact. that
the smallest girl or the largest could de-
sire.
The exhibit is, in fact, sort Of femi
nine Paradise, for all ages of femininity.

homes, reproduced in doll size, were set

FROM MODELS
TO FURNISHINGS.
From gardens and rooms and model
houses one wanders among the booths Of
furnishings essential to the home com
p1ete." Logically, one should begin with
the living rooms-or perhaps the front
porch, for there are several delightfully."-
furnished porches, too, gay with brilliant
awnings and inyitingly comfortable with
wicker. The living rooms show every ap-
proved type of furniture from delicate
Windsor to massive Elizabethian period,
as well as many comfortable over stuffed
types made in indianapolis.
Accessories We're not overlooked At
tractive exhibits OF framed paintings,
frames and mirrors are shown. Dining
rooms were complete even to the tea set
on the serving table, and as for the
kitchen--with their shining white en-
ameled Ia bles and stoves that cook a meal
while one is at the movie, and patent dish
washers that wash the dishes with hardly
more than a suggestion from the LADY
of the house"-they shave become as at
,tractive a feature Of the complete homs
as are the living rooms.
