tute with something that would be
of more use, either practically or
decoratively or, preferably, both.
Sometimes it's wise to buy whole
matched set of furniture such as a
suite of upholstered furniture. How
ever, if this does not include enough
of the pieces you'll need, or, on the
other hand, contains too many
pieces for the space or use you
have, then try selecting sectional
or separate pieces that will be most
valuable.
One family may need only two
comfortable easy chairs, while an
other needs three or four or even
more. These may be bought sep
arately, to harmonic pleasantly,
or covered to match other pieces.
You no longer need to have all
one kind of wood in your living
room. Dark and light woods are
used together, in good taste, in the
same room because they compli-
ment each other.
Perhaps you've found a desk in
one of the light modern woods.
There's no reason why you can't
use 1t in room with some dark

Recall Forebeurs on the Fourth

TAN YOU TAKE your thoughts
~ back, in this week of July
Fourth, to New England farm 100
years ago?
It is one of those picturesque
farms that you and see on our
happy vacation trips; we stop with
a queer inexplicable twist in our
hearts as we look at the steep high
roof, the elms sending leaf-shad-
ows across the high small-paned
windows, the well-sweep, the mel
lowed lines of barns and sheds
stretching away toward orchard
and pasture, the summer gracious
ness of one of the thousands Of
homesteads that were the Amer
lean scene in the dramatic days OF
Americas beginnings.
If we go in there are more ex-
CARNATIONS of sheer admiration and
delight. Oh-a spinning wheel and
a loom! Oh-hand-hammered fire
irons painted like the redcoats of
King George, so that any casual
splitting upon them might be pleas
urable as well as necessary! Oh,
Revere teapots and Chippendale
chairs, blue homemade and gay
patchwork gull is, four-posters
with faded calico valances, warm
ing pans and melodeons, highboys
and dressers in applewood or
weathered maple!
The floors are soft, almost yield
ing beneath our feet; the doorways
low and irregular, and between the
old part of the house-circa 1900
and the new, added 40 years later,
indoor Irregularities are masked
by cupboards, by steps up and
down, by narrow stair here and
an angled passage there.
Draught of Patriotism
Who doesn't know New England,
or that part of the Old South that
matches it in Revolutionary age,
doesn't know America. And it isn't
too late to pack some bags, climb
into the car and cruise off in that
direction now. AS a great draught
of patriotism and enthusiasm and
wonder, it is a lesson we all need.
Wonder-yes, that's what we
women feel as we visualize the life

farms. Men led the hard life of

If everyone in the family reads
a lot, good chairs are essential.
Good lighting is problem here
too, and each comfortable chair to
be used for reading needs a light

If That's Your Interest
Does the family enjoy music?
If this centers around the piano,
this instrument will be the main
interest in the living room. Try to
arrange chairs and sofas so that
you can enjoy sitting around listen
ing comfortably.
Many families enjoy records, and
if so, one of the best corners of the
room should be devoted to this in

combination unit, should be the
center of interest with chairs ar
ranged comfortably around it.

it shouldn't work on a lot of others

muscles, which obediently become

WOMAN'S WORLD
By Ertta Haley

TO HAVE A HOME in the truest
L sense Of the word means that
the home should reflect those who
live in it.
When you walk into a home, you
should be able to get a certain
feeling and insight about the family
who lives there, even before you
know them very well.
Properly furnished and decorated,
a home will reflect your interests
and hobbies. It will give some in
sight into the personalities of the
people living in it.
Sometimes these qualities are all
too transparent for a home can
give the impression of carelessness,
lack Of interest and hobbies. The
first thing to do, if that's the case,
is to change it by making the home
the interest and hobby.
Make Living Room
Place to Live
Today's homes are quite bit
smaller that those of the past
decade, and for this reason, every
room must be used to the fullest
advantage.
Gone is the "parlor" which was
opened for company only. You may
be fortunate enough to have den,
study or library which is much
used, but for most families the iv-
ing room is the center of most
social and family activity.
If you don't use the living room
enough and find yourself crowded
In one of the other rooms, then do
some simple remodeling or resh,lf-
fling Of furniture to make the room.

geon for removing the tonsils with
out permission. The doctor argued
that, even though he may have
been hasty, no harm had been done
because tonsils weren't worth any,
thing anyhow! However, the court
sustained a jury verdict of $4,000.
The jury said: 1.-THE law presumes
that every organ in the human
body has some function to perform
even though medical science has
not ascertained it."

than wait for the conductor to come

Injured, she later sued the trolley

However, the court rejected the

he had "trespassed" on the dock.
The judge said that, although the

mistake, he was still technically
a trespasser-and thus had no kick
