ECORATING SUGGESTION

DECORATING SUGGESTIONS.
from Mrs. G. B. S., Washington.
I should like to suggest that those
readers who are seeking patterns
for decorating furniture, pottery
textiles, glassware, walls, ETC., should
write to the American Home Mag
azine. Their pattern department al
55 Fifth avenue, New York, has ar
endless variety of good designs
from Swedish and Norwegian peas
ant to modern, from Pennsylvania
Dutch to Chinese. A color key anc
complete painting instructions in.
cluded, prices from 10 to 40 cents
generally Write to American HOME
Arts and Crafts Dept, 444 Madison
avenue, New York %, N. Y. for list
of patterns now available. 1t woulo
be especially helpful to consult
back numbers of the magazine al
the Library as designs are showr
II color applied to furniture, floors
table linens. household articles
gifts. etc. This is the most COM
plete source of good design for
those who have had little expert
ence.
To the reader who has chosen
dark green walls for living room
and dado for dining room, / think
you will be much happier with light
walls in hall and stairway, either
the white background wallpaper
selected for dining room or light
painted walls. perhaps yellow. Front
halls and Railways seldom get much
daylight and dark walls would
absorb most of 1t.
Already much has been said
about philodendron, but I would
like to add my tribute of apprecia-
ton of this almost fool-proof plant.
For several years I had no house
plants at all, as a result of dis
astrous experiences with many
varieties. About two years ago l
tried philodendron to find, to my
JOY, that it grows beautifully In
water or in earth, under all light
conditions, except full sun or dense
shade. I prefer it in water. The
florist at Dupont Circle, the one
with a nursery on Jones Mill road,
is my favorite source OF supply.
PhIlodendron is the only house
plant that really does well for me.
! enthusiastically recommend 1t.

To Mrs. G.. D. c., Alexandra:
How very, very fortunate you are 10
be going to Puerto Rico!! 1t is one
of the most enchanting, ideal places
to live. It possesses the most per-
feet climate of any resort in the
Caribbean. The climate is wonder
fully spring like all year through.
The mean temperature is 1882 de-
erees. Therefore, you'll need no
coats of any kind. The only wraps
we ever wore there were sweaters
and these only early in the morn
ing and late in the evening, dur
ing December and JANUARY. The
heat, even at 80 degrees. is never
