HOW TO BE YOUR
OWN DECORATOR
By ji
Director, Good Housekeeping Studio
Rooms For the Children
Children’s rooms should be given the thought they deserve. It is!
a mistake to use any old cast off furniture, pictures, etc in their rooms [
if you can afford to do otherwise. It is in the early years that tastes
are formed and that habits begin so that there is a real psychological i
reason to give them a room of their own which will |
r "'PIS' ""LI -T appeal to their growing sense of orderliness, beauty:
SK Lpt and even ownership. I
yk sg If you cannot buy new furniture there is much.
kH that can be done with a motley collection of old to
ijM| Mjjy give it a sense of unity. It may be painted or
'ipp 7 bleached, or in the case of old iron beds, durable 1
denim slip covers may be made for the head board, i
• an(i the f° ot board can be dispensed with. Every-!
7 fj thing in and about the room should be sturdy
especially in boys rooms. In little children’s
‘.lafe,ryagferooms, chests or cupboards should lie provided for
their toys. It is often a simple matter to build them
HELEN koues in. just shelves if need be, but at a convenient height
Director ot f or the child himself. Or an old bookcase may be,
Good Housekeeping transformed to serve such a purpose, and made to
,u match the other pieces in the room.
® Solid Wood Furniture Is Good
Let’s think of a typical room. Solid wood such as cherry, maple, birch
and bleached oak is being used for a straightforward type of furniture
which makes an excellent choice. For boys especially, but little girls
also, where space is limited, the double decker beds are good. It gives
the child a. sense
iff the boys take
*i**Spi L H !l month
IA P® at a time —of
sleeping m th.
*’* •** that lie have his
Tv;>rur own bureau, bis
ov.-n chair and his
I own do k. and
i ~.. ,when past
Sturdy double-decker bunks appeal to n child s'ho uUI °'’ha V e
shelves or space
of his own for his “possessions” which may be anything from a fish
hook or skates to a collection of marbles. Of course snow shoes, skis
and larger sport equipment is best kept in a special closet elsewhere.
The question of separate closets for two children is often difficult,
as many a house just hasn’t got two to a room. In that case a division
of space should be settled upon and each child must do his part in
keeping it orderly. To accomplish this, all the modern equipment of rods of
various sorts, clothes hangers, etc. should be used. I know of an untidy
little girl who was quite reformed by having a place for everything. What
trouble is saved a busy mother by instilling orderliness, only a busy
mother knows.
Floors may well be covered with linoleum with a warm rug by
the beds in the winter, the walls painted, or covered with waterproof
material, so that muddy foot prints and dirty finger marks are easily re
moved. Children should be children; in this room of their own they
should be able to play. Therefore a ceiling light is wise, although
a desk light will be needed as they get older. Have few ornaments,
but by ail means use wisely chosen pictures.
Of course there is, and should be a difference in furnishing girls
and boys rooms. Girls early show their love and preferences for color,
and “prettiness”, while boys “don’t want to be bothered” with anything
fussy—and rightly so—but unconsciously appreciate comfort and con
venience. It was a boy’s recollections that went into the writing of
“Home Sweet Home”. Just as your home is your kingdom—so let
children’s rooms be their kingdoms. Consider their likes and dislikes,
and then give them the key to the city with rules to be kept.

He’s a grand guy that Dad of yours and June
15th is HIS day. You can probably think of dozens of
things to remember him with, but if you can’t here’s
some tips: ties, shirts, handkerchiefs, slack suits, pants,
shoes, hats, sox, and many other gifts to select from.

GOOD LIGHT NEEDED
insufficient light causes eyestrain
and fatigue, Extension specialists
point out. They say It is well to re
member that some visual tasks re
quire more light than cithers. For ex
ample, much higher levels of illumi
nation are needed to sew on black
cloth than are required to read large
pprint. Then, to, shadows on work
should be avoided by the proper lo
cation of floor and table lamps.
