You Need a Place to Set Up Conversation Corner
By GIodys Miller

In shopping for a house these
days young couples should look
for some area in living room
which is large enough to accom-
modate the furniture needed for
an adequate conversation group
ing.
The poor placing Of interior
and exterior doors is unexplain-
able. Some students of house
planning insist that wherever
possible a living room should
have but one door.
This insures privacy and quiet
without unnecessary traffic.
Many claim that the coffee table
and television are taking the
place of the fireplace in the
small home and city apartment
as the focal point in the room.
Better lighting and sectional
furniture design have helped US
rediscover the corner and utilize
this space to better advantage.
The corner table and a pair Of
sectional sofas. a round coffee
table and an extra chair or two
are effective.
A corner is also a good place
for the television set If you de-
sire visibility for the maximum
number.
When you have comparatively
small rooms or when you utilize
every inch Of space to the best
advantage. you may want to
cover the floor with room size
rug or wall-to-wall carpet. So
much has happened to the carpet
industry during the last decade.
Many of the fibers now used were
unthought of five years ago. The
advantages of combination of
fibers. or blends, were only
dreamed about. Good design
was to be found only in the
higher-priced merchandise. Now
adays, it is possible to find any
type of design you want in many
price levels.
One of the new f1at-weave rugs
offered this season was a soft
textured surface made of spun

rayon with a fiber filing. It is
equally at home in a city apart
ment or in a country home. And
the color combinations are many.
Each season these fiat-weave
rugs are more subtle and more
beautiful.

To Mrs. e. r. N, Falls

so shall try to answer some
of your queries. If you want
to be close to Oak Park, and

suggest going out farther west

communities. Both Wheaton
and Elmhurst are college towns
and are within 8 to Is
miles from Oak Park. Rents
are much the same as in this

easy to find, and in the COM

TERMITES.
MRS. r. M. M. Fnirfarl

AhA - @Ss AA4 AVA = VII g0eIt
] am Fastening to answer
the query of Mrs. H. B., Wash
ington, with regard to ridding
her house Of termiteS. She had
quoted a price of over $500
by one company. In May,
1858, one Of the monthly
pocket-sized magazines carried
an article on termites and
warning its readers to beware
of racketeers, and suggested
that they write to the National
Pest Control Association, 80
Church street, New York 7,
N. Y. for a list of reliable OPP
orators. A friend, who was
having this same trouble wrote
for the list, got several esti-
mates, and chose a company
located in Washington, with
whom she was well pleased.
Although, of course, I have no
idea how the damage to her
house compared to that of
yours. the work was done for
about five hundred dollars less.
The article states that it is
not necessary to rush into any
thing, as termites work slowly.
