IN REPAIRING an attractive nur-
sery for the coming Of the
new baby is a fascinating
task. Perhaps there is small
sewing room that can be spared
for the purpose. It should be
well ventilated room with plenty
of sunshine. It's decoration and
furnishing should be specially de-
signed for the health and comfort
of young infant.
First Of all, the nursery walls
and woodwork should be painted
with q sanitary, washable paint.
And this is also an excellent fin
ish for the nursery floor, unless
a decorative varnish is preferred.
All are washable. The new baby's
environment cannot be kept too
clean.
Walls painted soft yellow, with
white woodwork make an effec-
tive background for either the blue
furnishings which usually are pre-
pared for a boy or the pink for
girl. The furniture should consist
of small chest of drawers to hold
baby's clothes, a low rocker, small
clothes-tree, a drying frame and

furniture should be painted light
pink and perhaps be stenciled with
rose-garlands of a deeper pink.
The basinet would be covered with
pink silk and cream or white net.
The screen, to shield baby from
drafts during the morning bath or
when in the basinet, might be of
parchment painted and decorated
in the prevailing color scheme. 1t
would be attractive to paint the
floor a deep cream and use pink
and rose rugs on it. The curtains
might be of cream wolfe or net, or
of Powered chintz with rosebuds on
a cream ground.
Equally charming would be a
light blue nursery, with the fur
niture painted blue and decorated
with pink rosebuds, basinet of
blue silk and cream or white net,
blue rugs on the ivory-tinted
floor, curtains of lowered chintz
or cream wolfe. pale yellow walls
and white woodwork. A border Of

asked me to marry him. which made me
very happy, as / am sure loved him.

through a friend 1 learned he is still at
the same address. / wrote him, asking
for an explanation, but received no an
preston. Of me, l will say that he could
character. l will never bother him. as my
pride wouldn't let me, but in my heart
he isn't man enough to tell me Gould
you offer a suggestion? LEANNA.
Doubtless he's fallen in love with
someone else and is too much of a
coward to write and tell you about
it. I'd just forget him. He isn't
worth remembering to treat you
like that.
