| for dinner. or may be used as buffet
when there are more than four. All
Of the furniture is kept low so as to
give more spacious appearance to
the room and make the chairs and
tables useful in all situations. The
dining table is low enough to be used
with the two arm chairs and the din.
ing chairs may be placed beside the
sofa as side chairs without a long
legged effect.
We have q sleek, trim tailor made
cover for the bed made out OF material
in two shades Of gray in a herringbone
pattern. It Is one Of the new un-
crushable materials, which will hold
its shape and wear well. It is fitted
as perfectly as upholstery with the aid
of Upper" closings and the piece loses
its identity as bed as soon as it is
tipped In place The two big chairs
are upholstered in a rough textured
material which is gray. black, coral and
turquoise in small compact pattern.
THE draperies are in the wall shade
of gray in a semi-sheer material
with band Of embroidered tape In
turquoise and black across the lower
edge to give them weight. The window
drapery is continued to the floor at
point A around the corner Of the room
and over the bathroom door. This
softens the corner, making an inter-
esting background for the chair and
lamp, but more important it conceals
one of the doors which are such eye
sores. On the closet door We use q
pair of colorful prints in a narrow
black frame set into the two upper
panels. With a lamp close at hand to
bring out the coloring and the panel
ing of the door as a subsidiary frame
we begin to feel much better about
our one bad wall. With the desk in
place, with its lovely crystal appoint
ments it is most satisfactory.
Close to the hall door which is just
step or two from the kitchen we
place our small dining table with two
side chairs, another large print above
it and crystal bowl for flowers upon it.
Next to this at E is drawer and cup
board space below the counter for
dishes and electric equipment. Just
above the counter is bank OF six cleo
trio outlets where chafing dish,
coffee pot or sandwich grill may be
plugged in" In the cupboard above
the counter are kept glassware and
table accessories.
We cover the floor with a wall-to-
wall carpet in middle taupe gray and
accent with white notes in the crystal
lamps with their white shades. The
coral and green we bring out with
coral pink flowers and turquoise green
porcelains about the room.
THIS room is we'll within the purse
of any young man or woman with
salary. Its distinction depends on
the fact that it is put together with
good taste, with = restraint in both
color and arrangement which will be
easy to live with for years. The few
pieces of furniture are fine in line and
construction and will be Joy forever.
Inc TACT that the bullt-ln features
contain everything necessary for good
housekeeping and that all furniture is
scaled low gives streamlined spa
ciousness to the whole room This is
further carried out by the wall -to-Wall
carpet which does not cut up tLe floor
space. The bed-Sofa is useful as
lounge. and combined with the two
large chairs makes a comfortable con-
versation group. With the addition to
the group of the small side chairs
eight people may be comfortably seated.
Maid service for one hour a day would
keep this bachelor apartment in APPLE
pie order. and any woman who goes to
business could care for it herself and
return in the evening to perfectly
appointed small mansion in one room.
