And after we were home and real cocy we had a little confidential chat In which Wert vowed he didn't care what kind of furniture we got Juat ao ho had me. Of course It waa hard for a air! to' understand euch dlelntereeted iifw In a man In thing which are to me my very dreema day and night. ) had tieen dreaming and planning my home tar yearn and eo I knew what 1 wanted and why. . Well, I am not going to tell you very much about my kitchen, except that I have a little ahort cloaet for the va cuum cleaner, the brooms and mope and I have my Ice box, kitchen cab inet, move and work table very near each other. It la ao arranged that I can el moet reach from one to the oth er. When aupper la nerved all piping hot I am not hot and cross a I have eeen my mother. Wert and I have a really lovely time at meals. filnce we married In spite of high rents and scarce houses we must ac cept rather small quarters; so our din ing room haa the minimum number of pieces. Period designs always appeal ed to me especially those having sim ple characteristics, That Is why I chose Tudor for our dining room set. Our dlnlnsr table Is oblong of dark wal nut with nice rounded corners and paneled legs. The chairs are In the same wood and a little wide and low. Husband Wert's chair Is high armed and most comfortable. My particular delight is a tall stiver, chest which has wood doors Instead of old-fashioned loss. I keep In this", all my immedi ate table linen and a few of our spe cial dJshes besides the , two lower drawers for silver. Our serving table is semi-clrclar and above It hangs a large mirror. We have a thick single color blue rug, and a low bench which stretches across the entire length of the win dows. There Is nothing prettier to me than our dln.'ng room In the early spring morning when the iun glances through the curtains, sparkles on our brilliant canary cage and reflects in the mirror to the farthest corner. And what Is more pleasing to me is that Wert always seems surprised and I believe he is really beginning to appre ciate good simple furnishings. I have often seen, dining rooms in the Italian Renaissance design In ma hogany brown. Very beautiful ar rangements have been accomplished though I Ho not caro so much for the more ornate carvings of- the Renais sance. Furniture Is made to lost and wo have to live with It a long t'me. I think that the simple designs are more enduring, for we do not tire of seeing them day In and day out. Our living room la our special Joy. We have a long low fireplace witr bullt-in book shelves on either side There is a mantle above the fireplact upon which we have two tall brass candle-sticks and In the center, a love ly bright landscape painting. In th middle of the room we have a lone Queen Ane treading table of brown mahogany with an over stuft sofa di rectly ai-a:nst it so that when we use the sofa we face the fireplace. An odjustable Iron reading lamp stands at one end of. the soTa. With our favor ite books and our phonograph in the corner what more can we ask for an evening's rest and entertainment? Wert's arm chair Is also Queene Anne with cane panels and seat and I renlly think he Is beginning to like It better than any old mission cha.'r he might have had a year or so ago. In i I act since we have been adding a new ilece of furniture from time to time I ave noticed a growing interest In the Itlmate comfort and effect I am try "g to produce In our home and I see ilm occasionally reading my house eautifying maKaines. In choosing bedroom furniture I lave found most homes prefer the V)Uis XVI, the Hepplewhite, or the ?hefaton desifins and-from the furni ure catalogs I have seen, these three lesigns seem the most popular. We lave the Hepplewhite design for our twin beds In walnut and between hem we have a little table with a (haded lamp. I have just installed for the benefit of AVert a high-boy with long deep drawers and next to the window we have our long mirror. On my side at the room I have a walnut dresser and a little dressing table with folding mirrors near the window. It is such an advantage to have the mir rors in a position arroraing piemy u, light upon the face. I have a low rocker besides the small straight chair for the dressing table. Chairs in ed room are such handy thins. Wert Is rather, old-maidish abou his clothes and everything has to he properly hung up at night, but I have noticed he appreciates his chair upon which to drape miscellaneous clothing when he Is too tired to care. Wert asked me the other day, "Where did you get all your home ideas anyhow? You are always think ing of something new!" As I said before. T have thought and thought a lot about my home. I subscribed to every magazine publish ed on the suject and I recommended lo Wert the same method If he wished. I 'am bo glad he is showing more and more interest, for It is such a help to me in realizing my dreams for a better home and home furnishings.
