During the late fall and early
winter months a number of manu
facturers attempted to bring back
the Norfolk Suit, once so popular
with boys and their parents.
Considerable propaganda was
spread to force the Issue, but noth
ing came of this leterrained drive
to bring about a complete change
In boys' outer apparel 1
For that reason the sack suit,
which became the vogue several
seasons back, will continue In pop
ular accord. Of course, It will be
noted that a radical change was
sought for the reason that it would
create a greater demand for boys'
clothes.
SATISFIED WITH STYLES
Bnt sonny and mother and father
apparently are satisfied with the
suit models of recent years and
that means the two and three-button
styles, which were favored since
1927, will remain the modes for this
spring and summer. Just what next
fall will usher in is problematical
at this writing.
While style changes are compara
tively minor most emphasis will be
placed on color. These will be In a
range from medium dark to medium
light. Not too light as in other sea
sons because cleaning bills ran too
high and the youngster often Is
not thoughtful about that phase of
wearing clothes.
RANGE OF COLORS
Casslmeres and twists, some che
viots and tweeds, will be favored
largely In fabrics, Among the pat
terns will be diamond weaves and
herringbones. Various shades of
brown will be in good taste. These,
of course, will be in the lighter
shades through all the tones down
to reddish brown.
Golf pants will accompany all
suits for youngsters of 8 to 13,
while from M to 18 the long trousers
will be worn. The larger number of
styles will show the two-button
effects, while there also will be
three-button models and a smat
tering of double-breasted styles,
chiefly In blues .
THREE-BUTTON TOPCOATS
As for Topcoats the three-button
model will get the largest play and
the colors will offer a wide range
from tans to the darker shades.
They are making some topcoats In
camel hair cloth following the
styles of men and young men.
Naturally there win be many out
fits with the odd knickers In plus
four styles in combination with
sweaters. The youngster has taken
kindly to this style because he Is
free in his movements and the sale
of these combinations will be ex
ceedingly large.

There seems to be a most spirited
race on between the bathroom and i
the kitchen. First the bath fixtures
appear in delicate tints, then the
kitchen sink retaliates with color
and the kitchen range as well.
Brighter, more dashing patterns,
appear In the shower curtains for
the bath. Very well, say3 the kitch
en. All the pots and pans will wear
colored enamel and all be differ
ent, too.
The bath with Itff lovely walls In
laid with tiles is a thing of beau
ty. The kitchen grows more charm
ing every day. For a while the sani
tary side of these rooms seemed
stressed, only white, or at most blue
white, would do. Somewhere along
the way the discovery has been
made that pale peach porcelain is
ns sanitary as white. What a dif
ference to us allt
COLOR SCHEME IN BATHROOM
Whether the bath be as small as
It very well can be, and yet con
tain the usual fixtures, or as spaci
ous as an art gallery, It now con
siders a definite color scheme to
start with. After all, some of the
ads for bath rooms do make you
think of art galleries. One can
imagine titles for the "Authentic
tiled niche from an old Moorish
castle," or "Boudoir of Madam
Pompadour in her late twenties."
In one of these regal apartments,
the only thing that makes you feel
sure that it really has plumbing-
so well are all hard facts concealed
the appearance of a drain pipe
under the wash bowl.
Perhaps it was the wash bowl
that decided the color scheme.
Imagine a wash stand of black, and
gold marble, with brass water fau
cets, neriod legs of brass, a framed
mirror set in the wall above, with
an open shelf at its base for lovely
crystal bottles. Tall slim cabinets
are recessed and shut their contents
from view with decorated panels.
FLOWERED CURTAIN FABRICS
In this most unusual bath, flow
ered water-proof fubric is used for
shower curtains and at the win
dows. To their golden light, add
black and gold marble floor, a pair
of lacquered commodes, a tall wide
wall mirror and a tiled bath re
cessand Cleopatra herself would
sigh with envy.
What do you think the Moors of
Granada would think of a tiled bath
recess using their characteristic blue
and green tiles for its decoration?
We nro not prepared to state
whether they would regard it as ele
vation, or desecration. One of these
niches, not content with artistic til
ing for background, must needs
carry on with wash bowl, tub and
so on of pale green porcelain.
OTHER BATHROOM FIXINGS
To "the man of the street" liv
ing in every day apartment oi
bunealow. where white still pre
dominates in the fixtures of the
bath, these gay color schemes may
seem to be out of reach. Much col
or may be very attractively used,
however. A set of bath bottles in
poach or green may be purchased.
One of the new bath cabinets has
a graceful mlTor for its door. As it
swings open the neat shelves are revealed.
Then there are shower curtains
of bright rubberized fabric. Laven
der on green, with ruyies oi green,
r-akes one gay set. on ciowi
glazed chintz can be used for drapes
or for the roller shades. Borne peo
ple admit that they like to read In
the tub, and would prefer to have
their books bound in oil cloth. Per
haps a library shelf might be add
ed.
MATCHING IN WASH CLOTHS
Then, of course, there can be
ever so much color in the face and
bath towels. These And the wash
cloths can be carefully matched in
they can just play they are a rau
bow.
It is our private opinion that col
orful kitchens began it. Several
years ago, bright gingham curtains
were used, and gradually the sad
dark brown dingy kitchens of the
80 c and 90s have been replaced
with light clean-looking tones that
Is, since we have recovered from
the cold blue and white that was
the last word in sanitation at one
time.
COLOR IN OIL CLOTHS

blem, double-breasted effect and
brass buttons promises to win the
greatest number of admirers. I
tel stoves, there are even new col-,
ors In the metals to add to the Joy
of the work In the kitchen. Chrom
ium is perhaps the chiefest of these.
In one of the new waterless cook-:
era, chromium Is used for the stand
that holds the top pans. Chromium
appears in the shining faucets at
the sink. It is lurtner used in uai
ware, in percolators, waffle irons,
and so on. These latter are electric
fixtures. This metal is supposed to
have the merit of retaining Its lus
tre under continuous use.
Many are already using a tine
aluminum and copper alloy in their
flat ware that has the smooth love
ly texture of gold. It is now made In
service plates, beakers; candlesticks,
compotes and so on.
INVENTIONS FOR WIVES
Among the various Inventions to
assist the housewife are two de
serving special mention. One of
these is a commodious sink that
"does almost everything," and the
other is a motor combination, "that
does all the other things."
The sink has a dish washer on
one side and a clothes washer on
the other. However, there will still
be a few duties for the housewife.
She will have to place the dishes
in the washer and take them out
and put them away.. But there, why
should one poke fun at the state
ment that it "does almost every
thing"? The clothes washer Is a
small one and is intended for the
smaller, lighter, and finer things.
In the center portion is a deep sink
with a special holder for catching
debris from vegetables, etc., that
may be lifted out and cleaned. Un
derneath the sink are two contain
ers that swing out. One Is for
brushes and cleaning fluids. The
other is a garbage container to
keep the unsightly drainer out of
sight.
NEED FOR INCINERATOR
The disposal of garbage has ever
been a problem. The mention of it
above reminds us that there is
very good incinerator that may be
installed in the basement. It is gas
fired and is planned to do away
with odors and unsanitary disposal
arrangements.
The other kitchen help that "does
everything else" is an electric fix
ture that enables one to use a mo
tor for many hand operations. Tills
piece of equipment can be used for
turning the ice cream freezer, for
slicing vegetables, for grinding
meat, for stirring batter or mayon
naise, or to grind coffee. There is
no question about the motor-driven
appliance saving much of the
house-wife's time and energy.
And what shall she do with the
energy thus saved? You ask her.
She will need it all In the present
busy world, and will need time on
