Now Is Time to Plant
Spring-FIowerinq Bulbs

Remember what fun it is to find
the first sprouting plants in the
spring? This is the ideal month TO
tuck in the bulbs for spring flower
ing which are SO welcome in April.
A pale green lawn sprinkled with
hundreds of tiny crocus is worth all
the up-and-doWn effort it takes to
put them in. Clumps of tulips
wherever the early spring sun will
accent their color, drifts of narcissus
which are in bloom at the feet of
shrubs and trees before the first
leaves are out are ample reward for
the time they take in placing the
bulbs.
American-groWn bulbs are plenti-
ful and inexpensive. They are also
sturdy and used to this climate SO
that there is practically no loss.

without loss OF acouStlcal efficiency.
The color provides a high degree of
glare-free light reflection, particu-
| la-rly important in a playroom.
The surface is resistant to dust
and dirt, but when soiling does oc-
cur it may be removed with
vacuum cleaner or wallpaper

ture resistant to make it an ap-
propriate ceiling material for the
average basement playroom where
the moisture problem is not too
serious.

Such soundproofing requires con-

sound by vibration.
New Paint Remover.
The saving of one whole step In
an interior paint job is worth lnves-
tigating. The step is that of neu-
tralizing or washing off paint re-
mover when you have removed an
old paint film and are ready to apply
the new coating.
Many paint removers must be re-
moved before new painting. This Is
because WaXy residue is left which
must be neutraliZed or washed off
thoroughly. But we have just heard
of a remover that eliminates after
washing entirely. It's makers say
it can save from 25 to 35 per cent
of the time for the removal job.
The new remover has such solvent
power that several coats of old paint
can be removed with one scraping.
The remover stays wet long enough
to apply it over large areas, turning
the old finish mushy enough to
scrape off easily with pinch putty
knife. 1t may be used to remove
paint, lacquer, enamel, shellac or
varnish. 1t can be used out of doors
as we'll as indoors, but no paint or
remover job should be done in tenn
peratureS lower than 40 degrees, or
when 1t is extremely hot.
This remover is said to be harm
less to the wood itself, neither dark
ening it nor injuring veneer. 1t has
no after-effect on glue.
The remover costs 80 cents a half
pint, As cents pint, 80 cents quart,
sl.45 half gallon and S2.70 a gallon.
A gallon removes paint from about
200 square feet of surface.

eXhilaration that will last all winter.
If you are short on furniture, gayly
paneled walls in the living room
will make up for it. Bands of wall
paper of brilliant flowers or trailing
ivy fianked by chairs will decorate
large wall space that ordinarily
would demand a large piece of wall
furniture. Another trick to give i'm
portance to furniture grouping is to
frame it on either side by deep
colored panel. A small sofa and
lamp tables with mirror above it
appears TO be adequate on long
wall if its background is pale in
tint and deep panels of darker
color frame the furniture at either
side.
If one must use old furniture or
things that are lamentably out OF
date, haye a sense of humor about
it and make them gay and debonair.
In other words if you can't have
luxury you may settle for charm
with humor.
How to AdOrn Table Told.
A table with funny legs may be-
come a high point of fashion with
a cover which is made to fit its top
and a circular skirt edged with
fringe which just skins the floor
covering its extremities. Here is
another opportunity for a bright
point of color in a room. Chairs
that are hopelessly out of style may
be painted dark green with cabbage
rose chintz for upholstery, or white
or pale yellow with dark gingham
upholstery, or even lacquer red. A
room done" deliberately in this
manner has a personal charm all its
own.
Often the most hopeless houses
are the ones that challenge a wom-
ans ingenuity to such an extent
that they turn out several months
later to surpass even her own widest
