tiOn for the boys room. On the
top floor, the occasional trough
house" which healthy boys enjoy
will not disturb the family. If the
room is suitably furnished, the boy
or his father can apply wallbOard.
If wallpaper is used, it should be
in color which does not readily
show soil. A small figured pattern
is a good choice, for pennants and
pictures look best on rather plain
walls.
If floors are wood they should be
stained dark and waxed, so that
scars from scutfllng feet will not
harm them. A gay small rug should
be used beside the bed. LinOleum
floors are practical and good
looking for the boys room, and
they deaden noise and are warm
and resilient. An occasional wax
ing will protect the llnOleum from
wear and ingrained soil, and keep
its cOlOrs fresh and bright.
Furniture of sturdy, simple de-
sign is suitable. There should
be large table with plenty of
elbOw-rOOm for home study. The
couch or he'd may be spread with
an Indian rug or any gay cover that
does not wrinkle. There should be
at least one large easy chair.
AS to color scheme, the boy
will probably feel like Eugene
Field who once said, ANY color

that suits me best" But he may

your magnetic personality-you

IT would be difficult to name a
more important element in the
making of a charming interior than
the wall paper. The design and
colors OF the material that covers
the side walls create the tone and
feeling of the room. This is quite
generally understood, and the wo-
men who usually choose the
wall papers. sometimes with the
guidance of specialists in this sort
of decoration. are responsible for
the millions of beautiful rooms
that are to be found from one end

the trouble with wall paper. and

Y has wide choice of bids in this
hand. He may pass and hope that z
can score two hearts, or he may bid
one no trump, or he may bid two
diamonds. The latter bid seems the
better and the one the writer would
make. AT the score, it is just as easy to
score game in diamonds as in hearts
and z may be able to help the diamond
bid and Y knows he cannot help Is
heart bid. All in all, two diamonds

best chance for game and rubber.

AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, first game. What should Z,
as dealer, bid with the foregoing hand
There are four possible bids in this
hand: one club, one heart, one spade,
or one no trump. Any one of the three
suit bids is sound, but the writer thinks
the club bid is the best. Partner will be
more likely to overbid one club than
one spade or one heart and in that way
obtain the best bid for the two hands.
If partner bids one diamond, z should
bid one no trump. If either opponent
bids one diamond, and partner passes,
z should double. This double is an
informatory double and asks partner
to bid his longest suit. The bid of one
no trump by z is a bad bid because an
alert opponent with the lead and
set-up diamond suit would pass and
thereby save game. From every angle,
therefore, one-club bid by Z seems to
offer the best chance for game.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
z should bid two clubs to show his
partner fine chance for game and
slam possibilities. If partner bids two
diamonds, Z should bid three no trumps.
If he bids either hearts or spades, Z
should bid five. If partner has any
tricks at all, he should then bid six and
thus try tor the slam.
