An Inviting
Kitchen

In summer every woman likes
to have the kitchen cool and in
viting. This can be accomplished
with a can of paint, a few yards
Of gay Bingham, and perhaps the
addition of a few new pieces of
equipment.
Before the program is at
tempted, you may have some car
pentering work to be done. Gadget
shelves to be built over the range
or work tables, a window box or
stand for holding bright geraniums
to be added in one corner.
If the walls are to be papered,
you will find many gay practical
colors and designs in washable
paper. This is cleaned with only
mild soap and water and is non
fading.
Many new designs are on the
market in linoleums. The smart
est patterns come in green and
tan. New all-over marbled pat
terms in such colors as sea green,
evergreen, night blue, and Gotta, a
deep tomato red, inspire color
schemes of striking contrast.
The use of insignia is adopted
for use in kitchens when plain
linoelums have been selected. Fea-
ture strips and borders are easily
installed and add a finish" to it.
If desired matching linoleum Of
lighter weight can be used on the
walls instead of the washable
paper.
If you specify, you will be able
to have linoleum with an ad-
heSive on it that saves much fuss
and mess in laying it on your
floors. This comes in all inlaid
patterns and needs only to be
dampened before it is laid to in
sure a perfect seal.
Color schemes for attractive
kitchens vary widely. Choosing diff.
ferent tints of one color is always
good. However, with a little
thought, it is possible to obtain
much more individuality by COM
bining contrasting colors. A cream
background with Chinese red, aqua
blue, or yellow trim would have
possibilities.
If you decide against making
these new purchases, then clean
carefully the walls, woodwork,
windows, floor coverins with
scratches cleanser. Perhaps with
a new coat Of paint on the wood
work or on the shelves, you will
find your job finished. Remember
that the day of the white "anti-
septic" kitchen is on the wane
and color is used lavishly in
kitchen decoration and for all
pieces of equipment.
New crisp curtains substituted
for the old ruffled ones can add
new life and zest to windows.
Having kitchen that is clean
and trim to start the summer with
will certainly add pleasure during
the months to come and bring
much praise from your friends.

Of John D. Rockefeller, jr.
Chartered in 1893, the college,

Rich in early lore, jamestown
waits across the inlet for the in
spection of the true lover of Amer
lean antecedents. First permanent
English settlement on this con-
tinent, the ancient town was
founded in 1907 on Jamestown
Island, about 80 miles from
the mouth of the James River.
About 100 settlers arrived there
at that time under Capt. James
Christopher Newport, in the three
windjammers, Godspeed, Discov-
cry and Sarah Constant, and it
was in the latter that Capt. John
Smith was held in irons, to be
later released and assume the
leadership of the colony.
Tobacco, now playing one Of
the leading roles in the country'S
industrial progress, was intro
duced to Jamestown in 1912 and
became one of the mainstays of
the colony'S prosperity. The in
PRODUCTION was made by John
Rolfe, who became the husband

cess who cemented the peaceful
relationships between the English
and the red men for several years

sacre in 1922 which destroyed
one-fourth of the population.

These come in color and have
chromium bars on the side for a
towel rack.
Another trend is to use chro-
MUM legs instead of the pedestal
base for the lavatories. Apparently
one reason for this is to give more
space under the lavatory. And, Of
course, the chromium does not
tarnish or discolor and adds a
shining modern finish to the room.
A few new features are added in
the designs. Soap dishes come as
an integral part of the lavatories
and drain into the bowl on either
side.
The fixtures, instead of being on
top as we are accustomed to think
of them normally, are now placed
on the side back and a raised

shoulder is left on top which acts
as a shelf.
Most of the modern lavatories
are made of vitreouS china instead
Of cast iron. This gives a finish
outside and in and a chance to
have a splash rim.
Lavatory units may also be pur-
chased that are very practical.
The clothes hamper comes at
tached under the lavatory. A glass
shelf, medicine cabinet. fixtures
for indirect lighting and venti-
lating register come in the same
panel.
This uses space to excellent ad-
vantage and can be installed in the
same amount of space used by the
old type lavatory.

The style of architecture and
the furniture used will to a large
extent determine which type will
be chosen. Wall paper which
has been in the background in
many homes for the past few
years is now forging to the front.
It's popularity is due to a large
extent to the new decorative
treatment and to the fact that
colors can be introduced that add
personality to rooms of almost
any period.
Modern Trend
The color combinations are
more vivid than ever before.
Clear blues, reds, yellows, seal
browns, off whites are used ef-
fectively.
There are charming authentic
patterns for period rooms, and
vivid contemporary walls.
The paper can now be chosen
with a distinct period in mind.
Interpreted in modern color treat
ment and design are Chinese Chip
pendale, Georgian, Federal Amer
lean, Classic, Empire feeling, and
Victorian.
Some of the modern treatments
have architectural qualities and
can be used effectively to influ-
ence the size of the room. One
particular pattern noticed is
streamlined in two tones of grey
and is effective in room with
a high ceiling when hung hori-
zontally.
Great strides have been taken
in the use of washable wall
papers in bath rooms. Instead of
the plain walls, modern papers
bring large, bold, colorful designs
that give striking effects in tile
bathrooms. Black swans on white
go well in black and white bath.
For the green bath there are
brown seals on green paper.
For bedrooms a paper Of distinct
coloring will be used on the walls
without border and the ceiling
painted white.
Boys Room
Many types of wall paper have
been designed for the boys room.
The designs Of ships, airplanes,
and streamlined machinery do GER
tainly stimulate imagination, One
pattern noticed combines many
of the recent inventions for travel
and communication on top of
half world. The ship, plane, radio,
telephone, telegraph and automo-
bile were all represented.
other papers that seemed out
standing included a polo game
interpreted for game room; en-
sembled papers with side wall.
border, and recommended ceiling:
gracious field flowers against the
loveliest Of rose colors; a paper of
brick rose with urns, grapes, and
flowers of gray that would be most
charming with a dado of either
pink or gray.
1t will pay you to first investi-
gate the wall treatment best suited
to your home. So many new ideas
are now presented that you may
have a chance to effectively carry
out ideas of color combination
that will be just the thing to add
new interest to each room.
