subdeb room has done so with great
success. From being a nursery with
painted Ney -diddle-diddl rnurals of
the cat and the fiddle and the COW
jumping over the moon, it has
emerged delightful room with an
ingenious air OF glamour to capture
the imagination of its young oc-
cupant.
To begin with the room was rather
long. This allowed for the creation
of an alcove with the aid of paint
and fabric. BY painting one end
wall in a rich. deep blue and carry
ing this color along the two ad-
joining walls for about 4 feet the
illusion of a separate area was de-
veloped.
This impression was furthered by
the hanging of draperies at each
side of the room where the blue
met the off-white tint in which
the balance of the room was coated.
These draperies were on white and
were edged In crimson moss fringe,
Evening star., 1940-09-14

fastened back with crimson ties.
They hung from the ceiling to the
floor and were joined at the ceiling
line by valance attached to the
ceiling.
This curtaining of the blue-paint-
ed area set it of and supplied the
most interesting feature of the room.
The lower edge Of the valance was
trimmed with the crimson moss
fringe, while along the upper edge
was an inch-wide stripe of crimson
tape, which was continued on the
other three walls of the room in
crimson paint. The crimson, Incl
dentally. matched the rich coloring
Of the floor covering.
Stars Show at Night.
On the blue of the alcove walls
stars were painted with a luminous
coating that made them glow softly
after dark. Any type of wall paint
could, Of course, have been used
for this purpose. Silver paper stars
Evening star., 1940-09-14

Of various sizes could also have
been applied successfully.
A ceiling light concealed by the
cloth valance served to illuminate
the alcove effectively at night and
to throw a light on the bed that
Is placed there.
The studio couch which serves as
a bed is covered with off-white fab
ric, corded around the edge in
crimson. At the foot of 1t stands
a bookcase, which holds a small
radio. This bookcase. slightly al
tered, was-in Its nursery incarna-
tion-a small table. The bench
which formerly accompanied the
table Is now heightened with q
crimson cushion and stands by the
skirted dressing table, which was
formerly the nursery desk. The
dressing table, incidentally, is placed
before the window. Both dressing
table and window are bedecked in
white fabric trimmed in the Grim
son.

Chance for

Importance Attached
To Young Girls
Having Own Room

Just as a chubby little girl seems
suddenly to turn into gangly crea-
ture who is all legs and arms, so
does the nursery which housed her
seem suddenly as out of date as a
year-old newspaper. When this
happens it's just as important to
redecorate her room carefully as
it is to buy her larger clothing.
The room in which a child grows
up exerts a tremendous influence.
1t is after all the stage for first
experiences-the background most
indelibly impressed on memory.
Charming decoration that awakens
pride in surroundings not only helps
to develop good taste but aids in
teaching neatness, for keen pride
in surroundings acts as a spur to
keep them in apple-pie order so
they may be displayed at all times.

Mr.. Lusk points out, this feverish
building activity would produce a
pronounced increase in vacancies. 1t
will increase the number of dwelling
units in metropolitan Washington by
about SO per cent. However, the
Federal staff has been growing so
rapidly. 200 increase from April to

Precuution for LinoIeum

A rough, uneven base often causes
linoleum to wear unevenly. Before
installing new linoleum, 1t is a wise
precaution to inspect the floor. If
it is uneven, it should be smoothed
down as much as possible and then
covered with Quarterboard, which
can be had In large size boards.
This type of wood fiber underlay will

Motorists Responding
To Opportunity To Buy
General Tires Cheaply

Wilmington motorists are re-
spending by the score to the cur
rent opportunity to buy first-line
General Tires at unprecedented
low prices. according to the Neu-
wirth Brothers, operators of the
B. & N. Tire Company $40 No.
Third street distributors for the
General Tire.
Using the slogan Fighting the
Fight for First Line Tires", the
B. & N. Tire Company is offering
first-1ine General Tires at greatly
reduced prices and special trade
in allowances for used tires for a
limited time.
I'VE are putting these fighting
prices on first-line Generals to
clear up the confusion about tire
prices and quality that exists in
the public's mind, 'they said yes
terday. ITO us the tire business is
a serious business. Poor-quality
tires have been responsible for
many serious accidents, and the
few cents saved in the initial pur-
chase of a cheap tire may be paid
out many times by failure at a
crucial moment, to say nothing Of
the many thousand fewer miles
these tires usually deliver"
The Neuwirths declared that not
only are motorists being induced
to risk their lives and the lives OF
their families on second, third and
even fourth-line tires, but also in
many cases they r misled into
believing they are buying first-line
quality.
They pointed out that second
line tires are not accepted by the
automobile manufacturers for use
on new cars and that taXicab com
panies won't use them. :
