We have come . long way
since the day when one ate and
slept in the same room only in
the "slums." Nowadays dinner
may be served with great ele-
gance at q low table pushed up
before the living room couch,
and the same couch may be
opened up into q full size bed
several hours later. 1t is all in
the way it Is done and the PLAN
ming that preceded 1t. Miss
Miller offers several worthwhile
suggestions to young planners.
She says that scale is one Of the
most important items IN planning
for arrangement in q small space,
and the one point that many new
housekeepers do not understand.
They forget that a huge over
stuffed sofa offers no more seat
ing space than . slender one and
may throw the whole room out Of
balance. One Of the first requi-
sites of good interior planning Is
to work out a scale plan SO that
the necessary articles Of furni-
tire NAV he nlaced without
crowding. From the family train
ing angle, the dining alcove IN
the living room rather than the
kitchen Is suggested, for the
extra bit Of formality which .
living room demands Is an asset
toward the better table manners
and personal appearance that
should be part Of the early train
ing Of ever, family.
