 Although the furnishings of the entire house or apartment may be indicative of a woman's personality, no room presents quite so many ex- cellent opportunities for such ex- pression as her own bed room. It may be planned along any one Of 8 score of lines.
 The guest room however, is quite a different proposition. In furnish tain rather definite and well known dulles. Of course, the principal thing to be borne in mind when furnishing a guest room is the guests comfort. If possible, it Is well to arrange the bed so that 1t will not face the windows, and, of course, to provide dark shades for the win dows, for many people are unable to sleep in a bright room. What leaves a more unflattering impression of a visit in a guests mind than an un- comfortable night? Remember, too, the importance of good light beside or over tn dressing table.

 And so when the Wednesday After noon Bridge club met at her home she trumped her partners ace four times running while telling all about what movie wonder her baby would be.
 And then, at the polite insistence of a gushing member, the fond par ent trotted out the prodigy and put him through his paces.

 Comfort in rest is vital to health. It seems to me that the poorest economy in the world is a cheap mattress. A really good one, ai- though rather costly, lasts immeas- urably longer and makes all the difference in the comfort of ones guest. I think it good plan when furnishing a bedroom to buy & good mattress and springs before there is a possibility of being tempted by some alluring bit of furniture or lovely piece of chintz whose cost necessitates the purchase of a cheap n attress.
 If there Is space for 1t. it is pleas- ant, but not essential, to have small desk in the guest room. This, of course, should be equipped with stationery. ink, stamps, pens, and blotter. The thought that a hostess gives to the comfort of her guest is as sure an indication of her character as the guests consideration of her
 Since so many of us are forced to live in tiny quarters these days, a word about the day bed cannot be amiss here. For the woman who cannot afford the extra room unual- ly devoted to the overnight guest, the day bed really solves the prob lem. A good design should be se- lected so that another day bed may be gotten later on if one so desires. Placed in the living room it cannot but add charm to the room and its service as lounge during the day and a comfortable bed at night makes it worthy adjunct to any abode. Then, too, for the profess sional woman who lives in one room, who must use that room as living quarters during the day and a bedroom at night, the day bed again solves the problem. There is something so trim and charming

about this type of bed that I wish more people would consider it as substitute not only for sofas and touches, but for the usually rather ugly twin beds.
 Of course, a great many women use their bedrooms merely for sleeping and dressing rooms, while others prefer to make of it a sort of second living room. Naturally, the size of the room has much to do with this arrangement; so have its 1t can boast. I happen to be one of those who love to make use of my bed room as workroom, conse- quently, I am in it a great deal.
 On a weekend party recently I saw an ideal bedroom. It was an L-shaped room with a large fire place across the long end. My hos tess had placed her bed in the short end of the room and opposite 1t her dressing table. By this arrangement she could see the fireplace from her bed, and the dressing table was kept quite apart from the rest of the apartment. Between the windows was placed her desk. Near the fire place was 8 charming chaise tongue and beside it little table bearing side of the fireplace was the most inviting large chair imaginable. The place breathed comfort, femin- inc charm and cheer. I could quite understand my friends spending most of her spare time in her love- ly Iving-room-bedroom.
