he opens his presents Christ
mas morning 10 find himself
the posSeSsor of a red and white
striped sweater, short sleeved
and open down the front.
The sweater will be the proud
gift of Miss Suzanne Quayle,
II years old, and she has been
laboring over it for nearly a
year.
The sweater was begun as a
gift for her mother but the
changing international picture
has changed its ultimate dis
posal, from time TO time. In the
autumn the small knitter de-
cided to give the sweater to the
Red Cross. But with the streets
filled with khaki and war talk
around the dinner table Suzanne
has decided that her supreme
gift must 20 10 a soldier And
that's the way the matter stands

furnish it with pine and cherry
antiques without in any way getting
an incongruous effect.
If you have always wanted a
Spanish house and realize that
Washington is not exactly the en-
vironment for a hacienda, you may
still indulge in rough white plaster
walls, wrought iron, gay colored tiles
and a walled garden and feel like
a senorita without necessarily using
cobalt blue door and window
frames and a red tile roof. You
may superimpose period or national
motif on simple traditional back
ground with telling effect, at the
same time that you keep your home
from becoming so bizarre that its
resale value may be lessened. Tricky
ideas may be fun, but their audience
is limited, and it is wise to restrain
ones ideas before they get TO the
point of pleasing a limited public.
May Be Fine Improvement.
Any unusual plan or feature of
your house which has no precedent
but is based on practical need or
use may be very fine improve
ment over the traditional. There is
no reason why a garage should not
be set at an angle from the main
house if it is not detrimental to
the effect from the street and if the
angle simplifies the ingresS and
egreSS of YOUR car Nothing can be

can have a neat, tailored electric
clock without unsightly wires.
The clock-hanger outlet unit con-
sists of a bakelite plate, which looks
like any other outlet except that it
has built into it a hook on which
the clock is hung There is a Suffi-
GENTLY deep depression in the unit
for the plug and a short length of
cord to fit in without jutting out
beyond the wall surface. The unit
is no larger than a standard wall
plate.
The clock-hanger unit costs 70
cents in brown bakelite, 10 cents
more in ivory. 1t makes no differ
ence about the color, for you don't
see 1t when the clock is hung. The
cost of installing it depends on how
much your electrician charges for
his time, and how much wiring has
to be done. Roughly, we'd estimate
between 81 and 81 for the average
installation. Minimum cost of in
stallation Is realized when outlets
are installed during construction

a sofa all at one end OF a room
even If it is large enough to hold
them, as it will seem overburdened
to you as you walk into it and
live in it. But place one large piece
at one end and the other opposite
it. and in each case place them
where you are going to enjoy them
and use them.
Placing of Furniture.
If you do most of your reading
by day, you will want your big
chair beside the window rather than
at the hearth. If the radio annoys
you in the evening when you are
tired, you will not want it in the
living room where the children will
be listening to their favorite
mysteries, but in study where the
door may be closed or on an upper
floor where the younger ones may
listen unmolested by grownup re-
Straint.
Think your home through from
its architectural features to its
kitchen sink. Plan it according to
your own taste. Don't hesitate to
express your own wishes and see
what response you get. Temper it
all with a bit of style, a lot of
practical common sense, a due re-
gard for the robust nature of chill
dren, as much of the best modern
and labor saving equipment as you
can afford and you will haze a
home that pleases you right down
to the ground" and because it is
so right for you it will be convincing
to every one who sees it.

noyanCe of some feature of your
home that is inconvenient and slows
up the efficiency of your day. One
lovely home in Washington owned
by a professional woman is built on
side hill. The approach to her
garage is on the second floor of the
house opening right into her bed
room. Living room and dining room
are on the floor below opening on
the garden. From her standpoint
this is a wise and convenient plan
and lends interest to the exterior
of the house rather than detract-
ing from it.
Neither is it necessary to place
a sofa on the long wall in your
living room, with matching chairs
on either side of the fireplace. Bal
ance is a good thing, but it need
not come in pairs. Don't put the

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

So many requests are received
asking for information about fur
nishing a house with the words,
Would this be right?" II don't
want to make mistakes" "IS it cor
rect to do this?" that furnishing
a house seems to be a stupendous
task surrounded with all sorts of
pitfalls and mysteries.
First and foremost-your house
is your own and the guiding thought
in making plans for it should be
that when it is completed in spite
Of fashion, furniture, accessories
which are up to date and all the
rules and regulations, it should still
be your house So, consider the
rules, make them work for you, but
don't become a slave to the idea
that it must be correct or in style
or be of a certain color or period
to be right. 1t is right only when
1t is the way you want it and
serves as background for your
own life.
Use Your Own Ideas.
Never mas there been time
when all periods, all colors and all
furniture woods might be used with
equal grace. So your own ideas
are as good as the next persons in
selecting just what you want. How
ever, don't try to get little of each
and mix up periods and materials
so indiscriminately in a small house
that it becomes confusing. If you
live on a street with rather i'm
posing houses and your idea of a
perfect home is a Cape Cod cottage
you may simplify the exterior plan
Of your house so that it is in keep
ing with the others on the block.
At the same time you can finish the
interior in the most intimate and
informal early New England and
