The other day I was in a home
where a 6-year-old boy held the
center of the stage. Indeed, he is
almost 7 and tall for his age, Civ
ing one the impression of manlinesS
at first glance.
He answered the bell when I rang,
acted the. part Of young host per
fectly, shook hands, told me what
chair to sit down ON, and went and
called for his mother.
In one hand he carried a small
brown object, about five inches long,
an old battered velvet dog that had
had two birthdays since I had seen
it last.
"His old fetish!" said my aston
ished mind, i've heard of children
being devoted to toys but not at
this age nor for so long a time At
least not to an insignificant symbol
like that"
CIings to His Toy
He didn't put it down for an in
slant. If he did it was only TO
grab it up again the instant mis-
hands we're free.
His mother said he seldom let
it out of his sight, night or day,
and the psychology of it puzzled
me considerably until I began to
see a few other things that threw
little light.
His mother and everybody in
the family refer to him always as
THE Baby" He is the youngest,
the other children arc grown up.
At the dinner table he was put
in the high chair he used when he
was 2. The tray was detached, but
set on the table before him. A bib
with pattern was tied around his
neck.

NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Corners
come into their own in the new
3lonle schemes of decoration.
There Is charm in a corner that
no osen space can possess. It is
SuTyrising how timid homemakers
seem to have been about utilizing
these intriguing spots Of a room to
make them yield individuality and
hospitality.
Instead of sticking something cat
a-corner in a room, as If there were
some DOGGY man likely to dodge up
and protect the actual corner from
being useful, some rooms can be ar
ranged to play up the last small inch
CT a corners rtgf1t-angledness to
advantage.
Corner cupboards are the most
oktfous and one of the most sue
orsSfnl ways to utilize this space.
These may be old-fashioned three
ccrnered ~whatnots," inclosed china
cabinets or a combination of both.
Bookcases Are Help
3 A new way to use the corner cup
Board idea is to build bookcases
Along both sides of the room, hav-
bng them meet in friendly manner
At the corner. Against this entic-
ing background build up q reading
pook with easy chair, lamp, foot
Stool and low arm chair table.
q Quite a daring idea for utilizing
Nllch meek furniture as Colonial is
To have an early American love seat
against one wall of a corner, pushed
against the other wall, with appro-
pirate picture or book rack above.
D lamp on the other side of the love
seat and cute hooked rug or some
other rug compatible with Colonial
furniture right in front of it to draw
the eye to this inviting spot.
= Corners and desks would seem to
90 together naturally, but seldom
do SO. Both have sense of pri-
yacy about them. Both seem a bit
Withdrawn from the busy life of the
kpom about them.
Desk Can, Be Used Well
I An admirable desk arrangement
h warm living room, with tan
walls, rich Persian rug with pre-
dominating rose tones and furniture
upholstery that plays up to the rose,
Is to place flat desk of rich, warm
woods in. gold and reddish tones
Ranking the side wall, against the
end wall and back it with screen

blue and gold.

The mellow light of the lamps

front of the opposite end of the
desk place one of the rooms wide,
graceful armchairs and stool to
match. This gives the desk
slightly withdrawn aspect, yet
makes 1t an integral part of the
room.
Daybed Arrangement Good
Very unusual and quite worth try
ing is the arrangement that puts
the head of a daybed smack into the
corner, allowing the daybed to jut
dnt into the room, taking regular
grouping of furniture to complete
IFS unit of decoration.
"a lovely example of this arrange
trent is achieved in a wood-paneled
room and on a neutral carpet.
French Provincial furniture is used
for the daybed, the desk that TANKS
1t on one side and the table which
tanks it on the other.
THE color scheme of this room is
pleasing, with the paneling in pear
wood and ceiling valance of toile
De jouy, in mulberry red and white
The draperieS on the daybed repeat
the colors, as does the upholstery on
the chair.
