If you feel grumpy or glum
or down-at-the-mouth in the
morning, we'd suggest you take
a look around your bathroom.
Don't look at the medicine
closet, but at the general ap-
pearance of the room. II it's
lifeless, colorless and stupid,
lust try dressing it ZIP and
cheering it up and see how it
helps your morning frame Of
mind. There are lots of mex
pensive easy ways to do it, too.
New Towel Designs
Take, for instance, bath
towels. What a decorative air
the colored types with patterns
have - geometric, modern,
aquatic and most popular Of
all, dainty floral designs. Wild
roses, primroses, daffodils, des-
ert flowers and lotus. A whole
gardenful to choose from, with
a bit of the South Seas to
boot!
Better COIOrs and Textures
Interest
Somehow colored towels seem
to be more harmonious and
make pleasanter contrasts with
other bathroom colorings-if
you should be planning two or
three different shades - and
that's the newest, smartest
thing in bathrooms, these days.
Not merely new designs and
colors are available, but also
new weaves-herringbones, rip
pies, dapples, ribs and snow
flakes all share honors in max
ing the texture more interest
ing.
In q Box for Christmas
A towel that especially took
our fancy is the quaint daffodil
one sketched up above. The
price is less than 80 cents
apiece. Guest towels to match
are about 40 cents; wash cloths,
20 cents, and the bath mat
around $1.50. We found they
come in an attractively boxed
set, consisting Of two bath
towels, two guest towels, four
wash cloths and a mat all for
about IS. What a practical and
welcome Christmas gift-espe-
cially if you know your friends
bath room color scheme!
And do notice the little col
ored bath room bottles-another
Christmas idea! There are four
of them, each shaped like a
piece of pie to fit into the con-
venient round tray. The
painted flowers that decorate
them resemble those on the
towels. About IS is their price.
Cl6 -ues Hampers Come Up in
the World
Yes, clothes hampers have
passed the stage of being merely
a convenience and now play an
important role in bath room
decorations. There's a painted
tin one that comes in two-tone
green, or else in cream color
with a monogram and border in
any pastel shade.
The flowered hamper sketched
above is really a masterpiece.
We feel it almost belonged in
the living room It's rounded,
The Washington times., 1931-11-13

Accessories

with a flat back to fit close to
the wall. You can get this, too,
in cream with pastels and it's
priced at about 81.
Warm and Washable
Many feet will warmly greet
the rug pictured on the floor
above. It's tufted with a deep
soft pile. And the same idea
of quaintness that's in the
towels and bottles is carried
out in the superimposed floral
pattern. Two tones of two
colors are used, and the COM
binations fit in with nearly any
that you plan for your bath
room. The best part of all is
that it's both washable and
sunfast. In the two-by-four-
foot size, it costs about $7.45,
and in two-by-three around
$5.45. You can get this same
rug in plain colors-or in two
tones with a deep border for
considerably less.
Shower Curtain Revolution
And now for one of the
most important features in
dressing UP a bathroom-the
shower curtain. There's a
brand new kind that's really
miraculous! It's not rubber
lied and therefore drapes bet
ter and dries out more quickly.
But it's water-resisting, color
fast and. what's more, mil
dew-proof! The fabric has
been through a process called
chrystaline, which doesn't
change its looks in the slightest.

to give them something hot, a

Considering balance, nutrition

Baked custard. Glass Of milk.
3. Cream Of tomato soup. Pea

Meat is Beneficial
A portion of meat added to

1t makes little difference what

If your partner thinks that

OF discovering what you hold

time allowing you to let the bid
doubled stand for a penalty in
