Household Hints
By BETTY WILLS
IN A nutshell, the trouble with
most rooms is that they don't
make any point, decoratively speak-
ing. In design or theme, they aren't
one thing or the other but simply a .
combination of unrelated details.
Often it would take very little to pull
the whole thing together, but that
little makes all the difference.
Take the Hunters' living room, for
(nstance — the furniture was all
sight; so was the rug. But the ef-
fect was dull and uninteresting till
Hilda Hunter took the room in hand,
fo begin with, the rug, an Oriental,
was unusual with dull green as the
Eredominating color, so Hilda had
le walls painted in the same green,
•lily in a tone not quite as dark as
that in the rug. The woodwork was
finished in ivory, then Hilda selected
{figured linen in cream with the
esign predominantly brick red.

to have plenty of yellow (lowers in
her garden to cut for this room—she
also likes zinnias here.
Now the room has exceptional dis-
tinction and individuality—with the
same old furniture. Take a hard-
boiled look at your own room and
see if you mightn't tighten up the
polors to make the most of the
things you have.

To Decorate Your Walls
It's high time that the artists In
our midst stopped blushing unseen,
frhy wait for a WPA art project to
grab off all the local talent? Why
tvait for picttires-on-thf-«MUl to come
back into style in a great big way?
An important exhibition we saw
recently featured the use of murals
In smart rooms. They were effec-
tive and decorative, yet many an
srtist in your circle or mine could
lave done .the same sort of thing
<uite acceptably. And think what
personality they'd give a room. Here
fro some of the ways we've seen
them used lately:
IN A SUN ROOM--Peach trees in
%iossom painted '¡n the white inside
M%lls of a sun pnrli r were charm-
lag and fresh. Ivy trained to out-
Give the artists a break.
Nge the windows instead of curtains
ard white lacey metal furniture fur-
nished the room amiably.
IN A CHILD'S ROOM—A plain
white painted wall is gay with toys
painted jauntily on the walls. Ani-
mals in bright colors are amusing,
•r characters from well-loved story
books.
IN A DINING ROOM—One wall
papered in silver bad lovely droop-
iuti pink lotus blossoms painted on
in delicate colors.
IN A LIVING ROOM—One wall
was covered with an illustrated map
Af the local county. Then maple
furniture and many books for the
balance of the furnishings. The map
idea could b.° carried out in other
ways—a map of the world, or of
Some special country visited would
be interesting.
IN A STUDY—Illustrations from
favorite books would be an idea for
murals in library or study. Some of
the Dickens or Thackeray illustra-
tions, for instance, would lend them-
selves to this, s > would dramatic
flhakespearean illustrations.

Cushion of Perfnme
Perfumers pride themselves on
novel gift containers, and one of
the most unusual this season is a pin
cushion of perfume. The pins, stuck
Into the salin cushion, are of course
colored glass and are hollowed out
sufficiently to contain a small vial
of perfume.
' Cleaning Leather
To clean leather furniture, use a
prepared cleaner—there ore several
good ones on the market. They re-
move stains and give the leather a
certain amount of oil, which it
needs.
Polish National Council Meets in Paris
Ignace Jan Padcrewski, world-famous pianist who has re-entered

slaw Racskiewles, left, president of the Polish republic, and General
Sikorsky, right, prime and war minister, at the first meeting of the Polish
national council in France since the war began. The government In

SNOOK—Meivin Giesenschlag
Rain delays elub members in the
preparation of the soil for their
field crop projects. Due to the rain
very little plowing has been done
on land intended to be planted to
corn, cotton and other field crops,
although land which has been
plowed early is in a very fine con-
dition for the coming planting sea-
son.
Meivin Giesenschlag reports that
his six, four-week-old pigs are
growing rapidly.

and pasture ready for hiB 4-H Club

DEANVILLE—Ernest Brinkman
The bad weather we have been
having caused many of our club
members to fall behind on their pro
jects.
The club boys completed their
hotbed last week, and they are now
ready to plant the seed. The hotbed
is 8x5 and is filled with two feofe
of new dirt. It is located at Mrs.
Gus Brinkman's home. We pur-
chased 16 packages of seed, four
of which are flower seed. The seod
will be planted in rows about two
inches apart. The plants will bo
sold when they are large enough to
transplant and the money will be
placed in our 4-H Club fund.
Calvin Kocurek built a new self-
feeder for his pig. He now has all
the necessary equipment for a good
hog project. Last week he complet-
ed a movable hog house 6x6.
We are sorry to say that one of
our active club members, Edward
Zgabay, has a bad case of diptheria.
We hope he will get well soon.
