MODEL HOME IS ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH 10 TEMPT ANY ONE INTO MATRIMONY AND IS NOW OPEN FOR INSPECTION

YOung men and young women who
 have announced themselves as com
 p1ete1y satisfied with single bliss and
 never inteodfng to mar it by jumping
 into the sea of matrimony, had bet
 ter stay far away from the Model Home at the corner of BUrnham
 street and Iranistan avenue in Sea
 side village for if they should venture
 close 1t is almost a foregone fact that
 the above announce $ 2nt will go
 bangi
 The cozy, comfy little four-room
 house which has beeen arranged by
 experts from the Good Housek keepine,
 Institute will be panaCea for all ills
 of natrimony, that is dissa tisfaction,
 discontent, and even divorce. It is
 attractive, it is comfortable, and It is
 cheap yet here Is just the secret, it
 looks expensive but as far as the
 pocket book is concerned the looks
 are certainly deceiving.
 Furnished for $500.
 The house has been completely fur
 nished for $500 less SIP and a few cents- That is probably twelve weeks pay for the average young man. It was furnished by women who knew l their business but who always kept In mind, conservatism with plenty of comfort and attractiveness- accord ! 1ng to Mrs. Mildred Maddocks Bent | ley, Of the Good Housekeeping 1nsti- | ute the persons who4 are starting ! housekeeping on a limited sum | should plan in this way: completely | furnish the bedroom and kitchen and | then eXpend the remaining money of | the living room for the Good House | keeping Institute has found it to be | & fact that couple must have a ] comfortable rest in order to be agree l able and that the man must have 1 energy in order to work to buy the 1 food for the kitchen and one must | have completely satisfactory meals in order to enjoy living room. When | one figures it out, what could be more reasonable?
 If, therefore this is fact, the des- cription of the charming little house should begin in the bedroom The first bedroom contains a double bed in French grey with a mattress to match, a chiffonier which was pur- chased at a local second hand store and painted to match the bed and two chairs, a straight back and rocker. When the chairs were bought they were fnartistic to say the least, but a few deftIy applied strokes from a paint brush and-preSto change! we have two pretty French grey chaArs to match the rest Of the set CD
 Color Scheme.
 Can anyone imagine more oe- IightfuI combination than French grey I ar d old rose The Good Housekeep- f ing expert couldn't, so she made pc $ r11ffIed cheese cloth curtains for the t outside and dyed the unbleached mus 7 lin a beautiful old rose color. A f rug which has touch of both these ' .colors in it was purchased from a Eears-Robuck and so the description ( 09 bedroom No. is concluded. f = The color scheme in the second r hadroom is grey and ivory The r n5Iestion that has been asked more t why does the newly married couple f have to furnish another bedroom Evidently the questioner torgets that this house is now only for those who haye just taken the vows but for es- tablished" families as well. Ihen a again ''Newlyweds" aren't going to be V end bedroom there is a single bed of a better quality than the double bed. n The idea is that in later years an ii otfer bed may be purchased and thus have a set of twin beds. The chlt- . fcneer is of grey wood and the inside curtains are unbleached muslin dyed s light yellow. AS in the rose room there is a touch of yellow and grey
 The Kitchen.
 According to the Good Housekeep- In order of importance is the kitchen and therefore the reader will travel down to the first floor where the kitchen is situated Of course In the Bridgeport Housing company de- velopment in Seaside village there are ranges and kitchen cabinets, station ary in the house and so that IS saving. The kitchen appears as san itary and clean as possibly could be imagined. On the left is a set tub and the sink. Between the latter and the left window of l-.e kitchen, the table has been placed. The ta- ble was purchased unfinished and to match the chairs was painted ivory color with the knobs touched in dark Iue Besides the four chairs which ! fit around the table there is also a -oomy arm chair. The experts found hat a person could not rest com fortabIv in the old fashioned stiff kitchen chairs and so selected chairs n which there were soft willow seats There is a complete stock of the necessary kitchen utensils and ,harming set of dishes all of which were purchased for the astonishing um of not quite S2S. To the right if the kitchen and in back of the liv- ng room is the very roomy pantry in which the refrigerator broom, wash 'oard and mop have been convenient y and. neatly placed.
 The Living Room.
 Last of all but exactly as charming $ the rest of the home is the living oom. Even here there is an attrac- ut in a soft. inviting look blue and lenna. A triple bay window with picturesque window seat adds to \ he appearance of this room, which ] ontains a gateleE table, a couch. an " verstuffed chair a willow chair, ge lamp and a rug. The ruffled IS urtains on the windows arc of scrim & a reasonable quality while the dra- Ie cries at the window seat are of un- leached muslin which were sent to N ne Good Housekeeping Institute to be C1 yed blue and red The latter color N Tas used as trimming for the dra- k cries which were made by Miss Koues N t the Good Housekeeping studio of h lterior decorating. The covering or $ le couch was also dyed by Institute As orkers, but the cover was made by S n experienced interior decorator The .E chair is a roony piece of n lrniture in dark blue velour, while N le willow chair was purchased in 1 $ natural color but painted blue. On IS le cOuch there are four pillows, two A d and two blue but the cushion on N le willow chair is q blue edged in ,SS sd. The most pNnenSiVe DiecR lrniture in the living room is the E ahogany gateleE table. On the N ible there is the much talked about | N l2 library, held together by unique S
