City Farmhouse
BY Marearef NoveU

Moving out from town to the
farm has never surprised any OF
us. But moving the farm into a
city apartment is something else
agairN 1t is a good idea to leave
the COWS and the chickens in their
natural habitat-but If you like
your comfortable, easy-to-care-for
farmhouse furniture, prepare a
simple calico background for it and
move 1t into town.
That this may be done effectively
was proved beyond a doubt few
days ago. We had been a week
end guest at a friends charming
farm several times, way out IN
Maryland. Now that living in the
country is very difficult for those
who must work hard in town, our
friends decided to take a small
apartment, bring up enough of the
farmhouse furniture to be COM
Portable, and to help ease the pain
Of having to leave the home they
loved. -.
A search revealed a most COM
monplace apartment, centrally 10
Gated, which had none of the assets
most apartment dwellers desire.
The windows were small and old
fashioned. The living room boasted
no fireplace, merely a stove hole
in chimney. Living room and
kitchen (there was no dining room)
had ugly painted wainscoting ex-
tending from the floor to window
level and floors were in very bad
condition. But these factors which
had so discouraged less imaginative
tenants were utilized by these clever
farmers" to develop a real farm
house atmosphere.
Living room and kitchen floors
and wainscoting were given two
coats of stone gray floor and deck
paint. Doors and window trim were
also painted gray in much lighter
tone. Kitchen walls were painted
real geranium pink and living room
walls gray to match the woodwork
Then the floors and wainscot were
spatter-dashed in bright pink, me-
dium blue and black. Immediately
all the working surfaces were both
interesting and practical, and the
murky interior took a new lease
on life.
1t was decided to make the kitch-
en- into a farmhouse kitchen which
incorporates all the best attributes
Of dining, living and housekeeping
The ordinary sink was inclosed ir
wood and painted, to have capa-
cious cupboard space below. Open
shelves for china were built in
around the window, over the sink
and in every available space. A
round drop-leaf table, covered with
blue and white checked cloth
stood in one corner with four chairs
pushed up to it. Against another
wall was real farmhouse bench
painted black. The wall shelves
held collection of pewter, copper
and old china which added pink
blue and black to the simmer OF
metals.
| Standing proudly on the most i'm.
portant side of the living room was
the family Franklin stove boastins
shiny black stovepipe which dis
appeared into the round chimney
opening No one minded that win.
dows were small and the view un-
attractive with the briskly burning
open stove the center Of interest ir
this room.

New Book Tells
Effect Of War
On Children

There is so much to be learned
about children! No matter how
much is written and said, each new
generation brings an entirely differ
ent set of difficulties. Now that war
has intruded upon the normal life
of children with their parents, we
find ourselves revamping all the best
theories of former years. 1t is our
business to try to find pattern for
living for our children now and
after the war.
A new book, War and Children, !"
by Anna Freud and Dorothy T.
Birmingham. has just been offered
as message to American parents,
who have been wondering what war
was doing to the children of Eng
land and what it might do to their
own.
Quietly and simply stated, this
little book will turn inside out" all
your preconceived ideas about what
happens to children when tragedy
and bombing come into their lives.
The startling facts outlined in this
book are based on case histories
rather than personal theories of the
authors They will surprise you, as
We feel sure they often did the
authors, but you cannot help but be
impressed with the essential truths
so convincingly stated.
These young women, through
their own observation found that
the crash. noise and wreckage of
bombing raids make very little
lasting impression on the mind of a
child. But the anxiety of parents
which is quickly felt by the chill
dren, and the fact that they were
separated from home and placed
suddenly in strange environment
caused type of shock whose cure
was often long and painful.
AS war work and war service
breaks up American homes, and
children absorb the fears of har-
ried parents, this book which is
small in size, though huge in i'm
portance. will be a storekeeper of
information. Many of the usual
parent and child relationships are
changing too rapidly for behavior
adjustments to catch up. War
and the Children" will take you
ahead by leaps and bounds in solv-
ing many of the difficulties of every
day.
This is published by the Interna-
tional University Press as a medical
war book Part of the proceeds
from its sale goes to wartime nurs-
cries 1t is both good reading and
a valuable handbook for every home
where there are children, or for
any one who has anything to do
with the training, teaching and un-
derstanding of children. M. N.

Lively fabric with pink geraniums
and blue morning glories made the
living room draperies. These were
very full, with ruffled valance hung
over sheer cotton glass curtains. A
huge oval braided rug in pink, blue,
black and white placed before the
stove made an island for two small
sofas covered in the drapery mate
rial and several black Hitchcock
rockers. Realistic items on opposite
sides Of the room were two bulbous
white china lamps with huge pink
roses painted on the china shades.
Finally portraits, books and the sew
ing table, writing table and fine old
ebony piano recreated all the scenes
Of the farm in town.
To be sure you couldn't look out
the window and see rolling, plowed
fields and apple trees, nor be walk
ened by the roosters Growing in tho
morning. But within this apartment
at the end Of weary day was an
the peace and Joy Of accustomed
possessions, and all the comfort Of
home.
1t is very difficult to move any
type Of period furniture into the
wrong environment so that 1t gives
the illusion Of belonging" But with
the preparation of the background,
the utilization of the assets of the
period, such as the spatter-dashed
wainscoting and the Franklin stove
in this case to give it authenticity,
the whole plan begins to ring true.
Add to that collection Of braided
rugs which set the color scheme,
priceless personal possessions such
as china, and other living accessories,
and wise choice of simple fabrics
in the chintz and calico bracket and
you literally may transplant your
home.
Important detail which we almost
forgot, was the wire flower stand
set before every window complete
with pink geraniums. patience plant,
wandering jew, coleus and innumer-
able other house plants which had
been grown from slips given by the
neighbors in the country. These
were moved into town with loving
care and seemed to be enjoying their
trip to town as much as the owners.
The canary in his cage in the sunny
kitchen window also sang as blithely
as before.

HEADLINE NOTES-Shades of

smartest heads in town are sport
Ing ostrich and cog feathers in the
guise of evening doo-dads and the
result is most effective. These
plumes come in rainbow of glori-

ever, you'll be able to do more ex-
citing things with color if you make
your own" by choosing the feather
and attaching it to a comb your
self. We've seen wonderful COL
lection of ostrich and COG feathers in
a place that probably has more
plumage per square inch than any,

You'll find it treasure trove of
wonderful ideas for making over
hats, too. Why. they even have us
struggling with buckram and stuff
so they must be good!
NEWEST TWIST IN TOWN.
There are two new ways to wear a
long scarf these days. The first is
to braid it at the neckline so that
all that shows is a pretzel twist of
color-and you can stab it with a
pin if you want. The way we like,
though, starts in a twist at the neck,
then continues by threading one
side, in and out the buttons, lacing
the front of your suit with color.

Lubricate Skin
To Lessen
Dryness
Several Cosmetic
Products VIII
Aid Condition
Bv Patricia Lindsay

By Patricia Lindsay
February and March are the
months for winter itch-that skin
irritation which causes much dis
comfort and a strain on ones poise!
In the majority of cases winter
itch is nothing more nor less than
skin depleted of it's natural oils.
Many things combine to cause it.
Heated apartment, heavy underwear,
too many showers or baths without
using a lubricant before or after
the washing Of the skin, the lack Of
sunshine and unbalanced diet. All
these things, or any one OF them,
can make the skin itch sadly and
In some instances can make it crack
and peel.
It's a fact that beauties cannot
retain their poise or beauty when
the skin itches, so 1t behooves us to
take certain precautions to remedy
the condition.
On the cosmetic counters are sew
eral lovely preparations which do
not cost too much, which may be
used to anoint the skin after the
bath. These are delicate lotions,
cream colognes and special body
cream frictions.
There are also some beautifully
blended oils which may be used on
the skin before the shower or bath
and residue remains which keeps
the skin soft and lovely.
IT one has winter itch, one must
refrain from using colognes or toilet
waters for while as these contain
alcohol which is drying to the skin.
/ know a mother who uses on her
self the fragrant, lovely oil which she
Uses on her baby after a bath, and
1t serves admirably.
Feet demand more fabrication
than one of the above cosmetics
offer. II the skin is dry and crack
ing, the feet should be thoroughly
massaged every night, after a foot
bath, with a rich foot cream or with
heated olive Oil. 1t is good to wear
cotton socks to bed to protect the
linen and also to aid the lubricant
to do a better job. In the morning
do not wash off the cream or oil
simply wipe your feet with a towel,
Cracked skin, of course, must be
treated with germicide and patches
Of clean gauze or cotton worn over
the wounds.
A dry and sensitive skin is a
common winter complaint. How
to care for it is told by Miss
Lindsay in her leaflet No. L-32.
To obtain it, send cents, coin
preferred. to her care of The
