to perform household chores than any other
13-year-old boy, but used his wits to devise
the most efficient routines for table-clearing,

The Family Makes Decisions
HE mother found herself freed from the
greatest mental hazard of housewives - the
feeling of being prosecuted drudge. And she
rates the habits of neatness, cooperation and
consideration that her children are learning,
as we'll as the actual skills they have gained,
as OF far more Importance than the luxury
of having maid.
Ot course, it's easiest to set the pattern of
dividing the work early in family life, but a
family of older children can also learn to help,
provided they understand the need and are
given an opportunity to discuss and plan the
work. Therefore family council is essen
tial in dividing the work. The mother brings
her list of tasks to be DONE and suggests who
is best suited for them But the family as a
whole makes the decisions. 1t is important
if the rest of the family - particularly the

bound to develop that is both practical and
good looking.
There are large groups of people who have
already begun to make such setting for
living, and we can learn much from them.
There are the many artists whose studios
are part of their homes who manage to work,
raise children and entertain their friends -
usually in close quarters and without serv-
ants. Their way of life is, by choice. an in
formal one and it can teach us freedom from
pretension.
The Californians seem to follow primarily
an impulse towards light, space and color,
expressing willingness to try anything new.
From them we can learn improvisation.
And the devotees of modern design, often
with more culture than cash, manage to con-
vert small apartment into jewel of func-
tional organization. From them we can learn
how an informal home can be as meticulously
perfect as formal one.
Don't Borrow n Way Of Living
COOP informal living substitutes a little
headwork for a lot of legwork. 1t doesn't need
wealth. but it does take thought, some inge-
nuity and resourcefulness, family team play,
and more than a little loving care It's up to
you to weigh the value of the things that go
into your home. You alone can estimate
labor in proportion to comfort, can decide
which trimmings give little in return for your
care and should be eliminated from the house

easier to remember how your mother used to
serve dinner, or to look up the right" way in
an etiquette book. But it isn't easier in the
long run; way of living borrowed from any
one else can't fit your family. Thu. more imita-
ton, the more discomfort, Illustration and
discord.
More Yun in the Kitchen
DoN'r think that you need new home, or
an entirely refurnished one, to benefit from
our suggestions. There are great many ways
of al ering your present surroundings. A new
attitude towards housework needs only
change of mind, not of scene.
The end result, we firmly believe, will be
not only great reduction in household
drudgery. 1t will also be the positive
values of more comfort, richer satisfac-
tions, truly 'graciOus living" - since it
will be a reflection of your own ideals,
not a pale imitation of someone else's
outmOded way of life.
To sum it up in one image: we believe that
a formal dinner served on bone china, with
antique crystal and old lace and candlelight,
just isn't in the same league with the relaxa-
ton and friendly warmth, the much better
digestion, the freedom from drudgery of an
informal meal enjoyed - with family or with
friends - at the kitchen table or around the
barbecue pit. The End

ALL-AR0UND better living can be
achieved by making all your rooms serve
a multitude of purposes. Adapt them to
the way you really live. Buy and build
only the things that will be easy to
maintain. Time yourself and count your
steps to simplify your tasks. Good in
formal living doesn't take wealth, but it
does take ingenuity and resourceful-
ness. Plan and share your work with the
whole family for fuller, easier living.

panied by Brod Crawford, a nat

Never when Russia was strong

However much Chinese Com

who would pull the chestnuts out

oriental memory is long. Russia

oriental rival. She will never
