ERNIE KINGTON NG and HEATING ' Coburg Road j Phone 5 0983 Hallways Important To Home Just as arteries are important to the functioning of the heart, so are hallways important to the functioning of the home. While we find that the trend in homes today leans toward a subtle disguise of halls between rooms,, there still remains the problem of what to do with the hallway. Hallways link the vital parts of your home. Other than the en trance hall, they are usually not accorded much prominence in the home. They vary greatly in size. Don't overlook their appeal and possibility in the decorative scheme of your home. A console is perhaps one of the first ideas to come to mind. But how about a console with versa tility as well as decorative value a console that is also a poudrc table. Yes, there arc such things. Hallways loo, are ideal loca tions for desks or writing tables. Placed cither in front or to the best light side of the window, thev offer the homemakcr a view while catching up with her personal notes, or household bookkeeping. Serving carts, now more a standard item in every home, fit well in a hall. Here they may be brought into quick use when the entertaining occasion demands. They are now designed in many accent themes, and will add a decorator's touch to the home and the hallway. There is no better way to treat your hallway than to give it fur nishings of its own. Don't let the hallway of your home be nothing more than a by-way. Let it bo a part of your home that adds to the completeness, decoratively and functionally, and with versatility. Clean Concrete Floor The layer of soft chalky mate rial that "dusts" some concrete floors can often be removed with steel wool. The floor should then be thoroughly cleaned and treat ed with a hardener such as so dium silicate or zinc sulphate. Homes and Gardens 111! if if : Kfe CrklS ' mamma .:.:,:!. : w , v hI'mi i le i n mini ni FOR ONE OR two boys, from five to fifty, the furnishings of this little room arc as adaptable as they arc attractive. Twin beds placed foot to foot across one wall lead this eight foot narrow room into a full life. Two night stands joined by a long, strong glass becomes a desk. Inexpensive tweed and matching checked fabrics are spot and dire repellent and washable. A map of the world, home-caught butterflies, mounted and framed and a trout net equal ingenious, practical male wall decorations. Vacuum Blower Used To Give Book's Airing A homemakcr says that after she has dusted her books, using her vacuum cleaner for the pur pose, she turns its blower attach ment on the bookshelves and gives them a good, sharp airing. She declares freshening the books in this manner prevents mildew, especially in damp weather. Build Doll House to Delight Child If you want to win your way into the heart of a little lady, this dream of a doll house is your key. Follow a full-size stcp-by-step pattern, and you will be amazed to see how easily this doll house may be built. The pattern is on the same principle as a dress pattern; it is in full size and thus offers the quickest and easiest method yet devised whereby an unskilled person can build this house using only hand tools. All the materials needed for this are readily available, in stock sizes in lumber yards every where. With the pattern comes a purchase list and this tells you what and how much material you will need. The smart looking clapboard siding and shingles of. this dream doll house are made from card board which comes with daily Durchascs. Those stately, impos ing pillars on the doll house are mere v cut irom siock size Dai- ustrades, if you want to build a reallv fine lob. Dowels or broomstick can be used for the low cost house. Total cost of all materials will be low. In fact, less than half of what a similar house would cost if you went to a toy shop to buy it ready made. The house stands 26 inches! Allow two weeks for delivery. YOUR GARDEN NOTEBOOK BY MARK M. TAYLOR high, is 19 inches wide and mea sures 31 inches across the front. This, then, allows the little girl to put actual miniature furnish ings and tiny dolls inside the house. A house should stand on its own green plot of land, of course and when you are all finished, if you are going to have the house permanently on a low ply. wood table, or other flat sur face you might paint it grass- green so that it will look like a lawn. A plywood platform mounted on wheels is the ideal way to keep this house even in the smallest apartment. Or, if the house is to be trans ported and not on a permanent base, cut a piece of felt or flan nel or some other non-skid mate rial, and that will serve as the green ground and give a touch of the real outdoors to the doll house Maybe the child will pre fer to cut out little trees and shrubs to put around the house. Just reading the pattern direc tions will inspire you to go ahead wih the doll house.

Sun., Oct. 17, 1954 9B in furniture today that have been designed exclusively with men in mind.

Lamps Fit Any Setting At home in any setting is the dramatic theme of a special group of lamps, presented for the first time in stores from coast to coast this fall. Each lamp is designed to be beauti fully compatible with any decor ating background: Traditional, Provincial or Contemporary. The color palette of this new line of lamps is keyed to today's interiors: charcoal, pebble sand, pebble gold, gray stone, white stone, coral and bronze. These colors will harmonize with or accent today's color themes. Lamp manufacturers also heightened the utility of their new lamps by incorporating im proved lighting features into basic designs. For the budget minded, these lamps have both eye and style appeal at a mod est price, ranging from -ten to thirty dollars. They are also co ordinated, color-wise, with many attractive table accessories. Most of the lamp bases are in simple, classic forms, which are the keynote of good taste. Among them is a base, called "Fluted Urn," in green agate color, topped by a plastic shade with shadow checks and laced in black, to match the wood base.
