this movement. AS a result the
clothes your youngster will wear Will
give parents everything they desire
in good clothes at prices, which IN
the long run, will produce the Ut
most in value.
Among the various questions
asked is one: "Will the long trous-
ers suit be popular for boys OF Juve.
nile age to about fourteen years ::
At the present writing there Is no
answer, for neither maker or retailer
knows what the trend will be.
Question Of Popularity
Some merchants are strongly OF
the opinion that "long1es nave
passed the peak of popularity and
that from now on the demand is on
the decline. While the crest of favor
may have been reached in some COM
munities, nevertheless there are GER
tain sections which will continue to
favor the idea of clothes like dads
AS expressed by one buyer:
There are many parents who like
these Iongies' and despite the cry
from various sources that such suits
are impractical they will be worn
extensively because Of the style APP
peal"
To meet this situation many re-
tailers will offer two-trousers suits,
with one pair of "longies" and the
other pair of Knockers. But where
the long trousers are not desired one
pair of Knockers and one pair of golf
trousers will be offered with each
suit.
Lighter coIors Again
" r>kI sexIak "a
colors for boys will be the vogue.
Two years ago only the sombre
tones were presented, but last sea-
son saw an unusual demand for
flasher colors and this spring prom
ises to bring added demand. Grays,
browns and mixtures will get the
greater play.
With the advent of late spring and
summer an innovation may be tried
with the introduction of separate
flannel trousers and knickers and
blazer coats in stripes and figured
effects. Another feature viii be
blue single and double breasted jack
cts to be worn with light colored
fiannels.
These styles came to the front last
year in the mode centers of the At
lantic seaboard and California.
No Change In Fabrics
AS for fabrics there will be no de-
! cided change, for homespuns, chevi-
OTIS, tweeds and worsteds will get
the principal calls.
Clothes for the little youngsters
those of juvenile age-haven't UNDER
! gone any important style modifica-
, tons. The Tom Thumb suits will
be shown, as will be the sailor suits
with the long trousers. The latter
Is more of a summer proposition.
All accessories, which include
furnishings, shoes and hats, are very
much like they were year ago.

might add a secretary of the light
type. Ladder backed. rush seated
chairs belong to this arrangement and
the general effect is one of pleasing
simplicity.
How bed rooms can differ! Contrast
the one just mentioned with the fol-
lowing one, very lovely In It's way, too.
One starts with a stunning walnut
suite-twin beds of course. The wal
nut has lovely rose bouquets in mar
quetry on head and foot panels on the
beds and the usual panels on the other
pieces are similarly decorated.
French Prints Over Beds
Mauve taffeta with ruchings of
green make the bed spreads and VIM
dow drapes, tied back with more green.
An unframed oval beveled glass hangs
above a wide dresser. The glass for
the vanity case set in bow window,
Is also unframed and has only the
smallest carved and inlaid supports.
French print hangs over each bed.
An extra piece is a tall narrow chest
of drawers. There is considerable re-
serve about this set and an air of
quiet elegance.
Still another contrast may be found
In bedroom of gray and rose pink.
clouded rose pink glass vases. Marble
topped tables stood in each window.
Taffeta in rose and grey made bed
spreads. while the curtains were of
ruf11ed rose wolfe. The wall paper was
delightful--prim little tulips In pink
and green marching all over 1t.
Two Types Of Kitchens
Kitchens come in for a word these
days There are two distinct types and
of course many variations. One tyne is
the white kitchen, severe and some-
what austere, like a scientific labora-
tory. The other type is more init
mate and frivolous and rejoices in
color in curtains, pottery and some
times in an open fireplace. The Sc
we're type runs to labor saving kitchen
cabinets, stern narrow portable broom
closets, white enameled stoves. and so
on. Sometimes 1t so far forgets its
definite purpose in life as to wear
posy on the broom closet door. or on
the back of chair. or stripe Of color
on the table legs.
The other type rambles a bit--has
built-in cabinets with an open shelf
wherein gay pottery parades, and
chuckles softly to itself over bright
Bingham curtains and bit of ported
BeTdnlunn on the WINDOW Sill. In one
such kitchen there is a quaint old open
fireplace and one can fancy the kettle
singing on the hob and general pleas
ant odor of recent baking of cookies
and spices In the air.
Wrought Iron Furniture
To turn right around and> finish this
story by leaving from the front hall,
let US consider the function of
wrought iron furniture. 1t Is very
popular in halls and surely a console
with a black and gold marble top does
stand beautifully just below great
tapestry. A pair of Chinese temple
jars on teakwood stands belong on
the console top, do they not? Wrought
iron toycheres stand guard either side
the console. A plush seated wrought
iron chair adds spot of color. and
great italian oil jar still another
bright point of interest. And be-
cause nationality is no object. one re-
turns gayly to China and places a
Chinese rug on the floor. The effect is
very stunning and not nearly so
bizarre as 1t sounds.

tere, YOU can add wrought iron fern
stands, and an aquarium to give 1T life
or potted English ivy with pretty
lattice to carry it's delicate green w
the wall.
In breakfast room furniture, green
is a favorite color often wearing trim
mings of black. Besides the usual
drop leaf table and six chairs, most
interesting cabinets are being de-
signed One set had two one con-
sole with two sets of narrow draw
ers. above which stood open shelves
with a closed center cabinet. The other
had two long drawers in it's console,
and glass door to- it's upper cabinet.
Both were exceedingly graceful and
gave excellent storage for ones best
china.
Another set of cabinets have been
designed for the breakfast room. a
tall ,open-shelved cabinet with an
arched top stands in the center of
the wall-and a small narrow chest
of drawers is placed either side. Each
of these hold small lamp, or each
could hold flowers, a little later in
the season.
Cabinet is Open shelved
Open shelved cabinets may find use
full places almost anywhere in the
house. They are often found in llv-
ing rooms, where the upper shelves
are used for tiny objects dart and the
lower ones for books.
A pair of these tall open cabinets in
dull green lacquer with a rose lining
assisted skillfully in finishing one at
tractiVe wall treatment. A great wide
French window made the centerpiece,
hung with ivory net glass curtains.
Heavy Grapes on rings on pole car
ried their color note to go with the
cabinet for their stripes were green
and old rose.
Comfortable Wing Chairs
A large wing. chair placed so to
have a light fall plea sanity for the
reader stood near the window. with
bridge lamp on one side and low
table with books and flowers on the
other.
Spring makes one increasingly impa-
tient with wool and velvet materials,

Around a black marble fireplace

iony arm chairs. one high with winged

For a Comfortable Room
This room it was, that aimed to be
comfortable. A chair stood ready for
use at kidney shaped desk, and
lamp was there on the desk. On the
other side a tall secretary hobnobbed
with open built-in book shelves and an
arm chair and bridge lamp attracted
one to this corner. A dull green car
pet and grey landscape paper COM
pleted thisspleasant room.
Greater Demand for Maple
Maple has become still more popular
than it was a year ago and careful
copies of old-time pieces are obtain
able almost anywhere. A pretty chair
comes from England, and has a rush
seat and arms, and a stiff little tulip
carved in it's back.
A dining room set in maple Is quite
in line with the continuous populari-
ty of Early Americana Cherry COM
bned with maple and rush seats made
unusual chairs. A large wing chair
covered with glazed chintz stood at
the head of the table that ''pater
familus" might enjoy his important
position there.
Willow ware and rose glass set the
oblong table. And there were ships
in this pleasant room, ships in the
rose tinted wall paper and a ship
model on the buffet. An open shelved
dresser on another wall held collec-
ton of cream tinted pottery in an old
fashioned pattern.
