preventing ocular fatigue, officials
said. y
To do this, an effort was made
to avoid having extreme con-
trasts in lighting a primary
cause of eye strain.

ratio should be kept to about / to

Mr.. Stricken said. I'm other

the lightest reflective item)

about five times as light as any,

Thus. a table top should be
light, so that the eye i" not forced
to readjust itself in a wide range,
from dark to light. Balanced
lighting and balanced tones in
office furniture and equipment
pay off in less fatigue, less eye
strain, and in more work done
more accurately"

shows graphically how to make
the most Of it.
Her book is handsomely illus
trated with colored pictures Of
rooms with decor ranging from
the modern to the traditional,
from the simple to the plush. Mrs.
Brown also explains color, in
terms of intensity and tone and
the relation Of various colors to
each other. She transmits well
her. own feeling for her subject.
The practical value of color
the way in which it can be made
to work for you. to tighten dark
interiors, play tricks with high or
low ceilings, seemingly change
room proportions-is very well
outlined. She has included a
wealth Of graphic before and
after sketches that illustrate
clearly the points she makes.

PROBLEM OF YARp2

from Mrs. E. H., Falls Church. J
We just moved into a new house
in a small subdivisions and are
faced with one big problem. The
Yard! The lot is good sized, max
ing 1t grand for our three small
children but rather hard on our
budget. The front and sides have
been sodded. not very well, I am
sorry to say. but the back is just
plain mud. worse than the sur
rounding yards because our lot is
slightly lower than the one to the
left and those behind us are on a
higher level because we are at the
bottom Of a hill.
Thus we get water from sew
eral yards, making deep gullies
through our yard which keeps it
too muddy to step into. Can any
one suggest a very inexpensive
method to check this water and
also what we could use to seed the
yard that would take root instead
Of washing out?
Also, when is the best time for
planting? With three children we
need some sort Of fence or divid-
ing line to keep them in their own
yard, but can't afford a fence at
the present time. Any help along
this line? We would like to have
"a small flower and vegetable gar
den and are wondering what else
lis absolutely essential besides a
hose. rake, and hoe?
Are the lawnmowers that sell for
SIS to $40 worth buying or should
we forsake something else to in
vest in good one? I am afraid
any kind of landscaping will be
out for several more years, but If
any of you kind readers have any
inexpensive suggestions for hedges,
shrubbery or plants Of any kind,
we would be grateful for any help
you can give us.
After nine years in an apart
ment, 1t is q wonderful feeling to
know the yard belongs to you
alone. even II you can't use it.
Many thanks to any one who can
help us In any Of these problems
and may I add that RCH is the
finest column any newspaper ever
printed?

In response to Mrs. r. S. H. of
Washington on her query OF how
to remove q grease spot from
suede shoes. ! recently had the
same experience and renewed my
shoes to an almost new appear
ance. This method also applies
to water spotted or most other
stains on suede shoes.
Use a fine sandpaper. / used
No. 80, rubbing lightly and per-
sistently until the spots almost
vanished. Then, to raise the nap,
hold the shoe over steaming tea
kettle, steam iron or other steam
method. Brush with soft brush
and your shoes look like new. /
was hesitant about trying the
recommended method, for my
shoes were very inexpensive and I
feared removing the suede. But It
did not In any way damage the
leather and they are still my
fayorites. I am certain Mrs. T.
j. H. will find this method salts
factory. One note of caution:
Change sandpaper when it be-
comes darkened and roughness Is
gone, to insure good results.
HOMEMADE SOAP.

PORTABLE MACHINE.

(Fron, Mrs. r. A. X, RicI,mondJ
In answer to Mrs. G. K. r.,
Washington, who asked about the
portable sewing machine, let me
offer few helpful hints. IN
BY all means consider portable
sewing machine if you cannot pay
the price of console model. How
ever, have a de luxe portable.
which costs as much as the cheap
est floor model, but ! bought it
intending to have an antique dry
sink rearranged for the machine
and. therefore. allowing more
storage space than even CUSTOM
made console model.
The portable machine win do
Everything its big sister will do
and more; it can pack itself up
and travel anywhere you want to
go. Since you are a beginner in
sewing, you will find it convenient
to take your machine with you
when a friend or member Of the
family offers to help you through
the first stages.
Take advantage OF the free les
sons. which are usually given
depending upon where, you buy
your machine. Knowing how to
use the various attachments to
good advantage is the most ifi-
lportant part Of your early train-.
ling. have never regretted buy
ing my portable, although 7 was
skeptical, as you are now.
