 There are lot of living rooms in this world that only need one thing. They need something to make them liveable. They have good furniture, and carpets or rugs; good tables and lamps; everything is good. But the room is terrible. Nearly always the trou- small end table and coffee table in black lacquer. The wall paint was tan and the woodwork the same. The rug was large and brown. It gave the visitor an acute feeling of sin and remorse.
 Now, what that room needed, as most rooms need, was a little judi cious color. The predominating brown should lead to repainting the walls in a light buff, with plenty of sunniness in it, or even a cream which sheds a lighter glow over the place. The ceiling should, of course, be a couple of shades light CT than the walls. The woodwork should depend in color on several things. If the room Is small, stick to the wall color. If the trim, is ordinary or common looking, don't emphasize with contrast And If the ceiling is low, contrasting color on the woodwork will make it seem lower. In this room a deep ivory would do very well.
 The brown overStufiing, or course, cannot be painted but some gay lowered chintz for the chairs. leaving the couch as it was. and the same lowered chintz for drape- ries would make the place alive and inviting. Pick up the red in the flower of this chintZ and use it as guide to paint the end table and the coffee table. Put the coffee table with its bright note right in front of the couch where it will be useful as well as ornamental. DO the dark green cushions in n gay cherry red. Put a good coat or floor varnish or maybe only a coat of wax on the floor. Then the de- pressing monotony of the room is gone and a new charm appears.

This allowed Nancy to serve a simple supper which took the place of the child's evening meal at home. Such a scheme did not surfeit the child with fod at an unusual hour and spoil the appetite for a real meal Creamed chicken. lettuce sand wihces, celery. plain ice cream and simple birthday cake with seven candles, hot cocoa with fluffy marshmallow topping comprised the menu.

Dancing is q real route to beauty, if you do 1t right.
 You do not need a ballroom nor fne dresses nor a fascinating part ncr to get pleasure out of dancing.
 A radio or record can supply vour music and you can learn all kinds of modern steps in your own boudoir that give you the exhila- ration of exercise plus the pleas ure of executing something pretty
 Dancing alone and with the freedom you have when no one IS watching is an excellent thing Tor every woman. Get into something scant and not the least bit binding. Be bare footed. Start with just an ordi- nary dance, waltz step or quick CT one. Start slowly and atter you are in the swing of things, inn provise steps. turns. sweeping your arms this way and that. Let your imagination loose and see just what pretty figures you can make for your own amusement and edl' fication. :,
 If every working woman would make it a practice to do ten min uteS or OdHCIHB dLtci oh0 .A"o taken a few limbering up exercises before retiring, there would be fewer nervous wrecks along the line and fewer tense women to whom no one enjoys talking for q long time. h.,
 Dancing does more than just exercise your muscles. It has an exhilaration about 1t that is dis tinct pick-me-up, and certainly a, the flag end of winter the more oi them any woman can get the bet ter. :.
 No woman is too old to dance. fl she feels in the modo. A woman past 60 may not enjoy the whirl. ing quick steps that a girl of 2C would pick. But she certainly moi only would enjoy but be benefited by a graceful waltz each night.
 If you're feeling the depression dance 1t off! The same holds foi a few extra pounds of weight you may have acquired.

Ruth was waiting for Sue. She was standing just inside the door gazing into the street. It had start cd to rain. There was snow mixed up with the wind, too. She pulled her coat around her more closely as she ran to the car.
 "pve found room." she told Sue. "One of the girls in the health department said that a room is vacant in the house where she lives. It has gas fireplace and the windows make an alcovc. It's big, too, and comfortable. Pm talk ing it at least for a time, though I haven't even seen it. called and engaged it. It won't take me a minute to get my bags at that hotel. Are you sure I'm not putting you out?'
 Not a bit. Jack went back to the office. Have you heard from your famiIy?"
 Ruth shook her head. "I don't believe anyone even knows I'm gone. Funny, isn't it? Not to be missed! They probably think went to work without breakfast or maybe they think I did eat They will start to wonder to- night"
 Are you going to call them?'' Sue asked.
 Ruth shook her head. "They would coax me to come back mightg i've in. I'm going to call the maid tonight and have her notify them that Pm all right Then, in a few days. I'll get in touch with them. But I'm not Go- ing home to live
 It was a question of just few minutes to get Ruth's bags and pay her bill. The rooming house where she was going wasn't faf away, though 1t was on q stree: that was acceptable. The room too. was cheerful.
 Nancy called. Our dresses aren't to be fitted to-day after all," Sue said suddenly. Ruth wasn't list oning. She was looking at her new room.
 "Its the first time since I left the hospital that l have had q place to call my own," Ruth said soberly. "I usually had to give up my room at home to any guest we had. For a long time 1 slept on davenport in the sewing room. An aunt and a grandmother were staying with us and each one had to have a room of her own. Then Sally thought the guest room shouldn't be disturbed. IL had to be ready in case the bridegroom cometh or whatever way that verse reads"
 "Why didn't you revolt?"
 q wasn't interested enough to revolt. Besides, what good would 1t have done?"
 Left alone, Ruth sat down In q chair and looked around her. The room was comfortable, but 1t needed things. A row of her fla vorite books on the shelf over the fireplace. A glass candlestick and a pewter bowl. She ran over the knick-knacks she had at home. She had enough things to make the room presentable. The small copper lamp on Sally's desk be- longed to her. It was needed on her own desk now. The black arc white etchings from France that friend of hers had brought her would be lovely on these walls But Sally had hung them Tn z guest room.

 Joan decided on the linen dress. Much to Nancy's dismay when she dressed her son and her niece Tor the party she found that Peters suit buttoned over in same fashion as Joan's.

MORE BUSINESS
 FOR PUTNAM Additions Will Be Made to Working Forces in
 Silk Plant
IN NEAR FUTURE

The Belding- -Heminway Silk company, which formerly operated plant in Watertown is moving it's Bedding, Mich., and California manufacturing equipment to Con- necticut. The civic pride of the residents of Putnam now engaged in raising $6080 has made it pos sible for the firm to consolidate its plants and make Connecticut it's sole headquarters.
 Recently President Raymond P. Kramer announced his plan to move the Putnam plant to Beld- ing, Mich. A strong protest resulted in a survey of the Michigan and California plants with the result that it was decided to consolidate all three factories and make Put nam the center of operations. There was but one stipulation, the resi- dents of Putnam who are to benefit by the "move" were to subscribe $6000 for the cost of transporta- tion of the machinery and records. Within few hours after the receipt of this statement Putnam staged a splendid drive and has practically obtained the necessary amount. The working force will be increased from 150 at present to 800 or more in the near future.
