Here's Hov Mothers And Dads Room
 Can Be Made ODer To Please Them B0th|
BY DOROTHY PATE NI;A Service Writer

Be considerate of your husbands feelings when you decorate your room.
 No man feels comfortable in too dainty a boudoir. Men deserve at least n corner of their own, and the whole room done with some eye to pleasing masculine as well us feminine taste.
 Particularly in tho average home. where tho young members of tho family arc apt to monopo- lize the living room. q bedroom decorated with a view of being refuge for father is almost a ne- ccssity.
 Aside from papering, the cost of the transformation of one very attractive bedroom, was no more than $7. Yet tho man of the house feels twice blessed because 1t obviously had him in mind as well as Mother.
 Ivory, Green and Copper
 In this room, having two win dowB facing q shady slde of the house, wallpaper was used that had q deeply ivory background de- plcting small scenic designs in col OTIS of green and copper. The rug was simple chenille affair of dark green, tho bedroom suite was dark green too.
 To the fraycd edges of old net curtains that were dipped prim- rose tint. 4-inch copper cetton broadcloth rufflcs. edged in green percale were sewcd, tho seams be- Ing covred with Il green bias band an inch wide, and looped back criss-cross effect. Compromising With this feminine trend were the simple tailored copper broadcloth unlined drapes finished with a green band an inch wide; and an- other band about four inches Tn from the border. also m inch wide. running parallel to it--plnch pleatcd at the top and dropping straight 10 the floor. Spreads Match Drapes Spreads to match drapcs, corded at the seams in green and very slightly gathered flounces finished with two inch green bands, were particularly effective on the green beds. (Broadcloth and pcrcalc made this room but linen or glng- ham may be uScd.)

 "Nothing." .
 That's a good boy! shc kissed him and fixed tho covers. The door closed and he was In darkness again. He lay very ised something that made him so quietly but he didn't sleep. very happy and then suddenly
 The little boy was wondering about things. Why he was prom told that tho promise couldn't De kept.
 Beyond His Reason He wasn't old enough to req son in abstracts. Tonight very concrete problem was bothcring him. He had never seen tho moon at night. He always went to bed at six, except last summer when seven was the hour. Tho moon often had looked down at him in broad daylight--a whltlsh disk in a pale blue sky but he had never seen the great golden plate on velvet back ground like the pictures In hls books. He had never seen even half a plate or even saucer. At least, not since he had begun to take an interest in things celestial as well as those terrestrial. Today someone had spoken Of | the beauty of the moon last night. Tonight 1t was to be full.
 q want to see the moon! he had announced suddenly. The family gasped. "1t waf true!" they looked at each other. Freddy had never seen great big round full moon!"
 | So his mother promised him he could stay up 10 gee 1t. Then she thought about 1t rising an hour later. That wouldn't do at all! No. Teddy would have to go to bed on time. She tried to explain. He couldn't understand. He had been promised, and that to him was enough.
 4 Puzzling Question
 Now he lay wondering why llt- tic boys could have promises made to them broken so easily. He want cd SO to see the moon.
 Downstairs Inc heard voices. the radio, doors closing, laughter. feet running up and down stairs. They had forgotten the boy and the moon and the promise. And It was all so important to him.
 The harder he tried to think the wider awake he became.
 He aat up in bed finally and watched the curtains blowing nt the window. And then between the two houses across the way an enormous bolden ball hung direct Ily in his Inc of vision. The moon! He sat and stared and then lenpcd out of bed and hung on the window sill.
 Tho moon seemed to say. "Fm on your side. l fooled them all. Here we are---now take good look: then be n good boy and go to sleep"
 Teddy finally went back to bed and instantly to sleep. He wnS satisfied now. Tomorrow broker | promises would not cxist--per- haps. At least not this one. acVonrncdPrcetq( (r"ak

Next Sunday is Easter and on that festive day many parents will delight their children with colorcd eggs. Many color examinations will be used to make the most of cggs. Many color combinations cggs are eaten because of thlS l Easter custom.
 The question arises then. "Arc cggs hca lthful?' The answer IS decidedly In the affirmative. Cal cium and phosph0rouA, two of the elements necessary for tooth build ing as well aB for other body func-
 tlons. arc supplied by the egg.
 Also, tho egg yolk provides Vita
 min D, which helps in tho assimi-
 lation of these minerals.
 An interesting fact about eggs is that IL chicken that is confined In a dark coop and not permitted to bask in tho sunlight, will lay eggs with defective shells. How ever, if Vitamin D is added to their
 food. they will lay eggs with nor | maj shells.
 The cnlcincation of the egg shell is n process analogous 10 the calcllication of the tooth. Practic- ally the same rcqulremcnts hro to
 be met if sound teeth nre 10 grow in the jaws of human beings. In addition 10 obtaining tho minerals calcium and phosphorous in the food that help up tho teeth, 1t iE necessary to hnVe the benefit or Vitamln U. This may be acquired by allowing the rays of the sun to shine on the skin and produce Vitnmin D in the blood streams or directly from such fodns as cggA or cod liver oil.
 During the winter months tho possibility of procuring sufficient Vitamin D from sunlight is remote. Therefore physicians recommend the use of cod liver oil from Octo- Der until May, and in fact hey recommend it all yenr round for
