Heme A rt Specialist Suggests Use of Y ellow as Probably the Best— Have the Curtains of Some Transparent M aterial. Have you a bugbear of a north room that always eludes your attempts to make it livable? Now that winter is here. It might be Just the place for the children to use ns a playroom, or the (»filer ones for quiet study and read ing. “The problem facing one who fur nishes a north nx»ni Is that of making It light, bright and warm,” comment ed Miss Araminta Holman, Instructor In home art in the Kansas State Agri cultural college. “ Since this room lacks sunshine, yellow Is the best color to use. Y ello v will cheer and bright en it, and yellow which has a little red to warm It will he better than a ’cold’ color. Orange Is the warmest color. Browns are tones of orange and better to use than gray, black or blue. One should use browns that have more yellow than red. " I f the room Is a ‘den,’ the furni ture may be walnut or oak, but If It Is a bedroom, bird’s-eye maple or cherry may be used. The curtuins should be light, in tones o f yellow or orange. The material should be thin and trans parent to admit all the light possible. “ Backgrounds should be yellow or orange— warm colors. The woods used should be In harmony with the other furnishings of the ro«»m. Dark tones express formullty, dignity, repose and seriousness. Light tones express gay- ety, youth and informality.’’ Roxbury Pudding, Serve HoL Hot ctHMxdate sauce is used with this. To make the pudding, work half a cupful of butter until creamy and add gradually one cupful sugar, while beating constantly; then add half a cupful o f intlk. 2V4 cupfuls flour mixed and sifted with 3% teaspoon fuls baking powder, a few grains of salt and the whites of four eggs, beat en until stiff.

Cover closely and steam one hour, adding, ns needed, more boiling water, never hnving the water reach a lower temperature than the boiling point Fancy Cream Cheese Service. Cream cheese nowadays Is being sea- son«?d in all sorts of ways after being softened a little with cream and but ter. Pimentos are dried, stuffed with a rather highly seasoned cheese, so prepam l and chilled, then cut In slices to serve as a highly ornamental gar nish for a salad, increasing its food value. A pretty thing for the finish to a simple luneh«?on or for a substantial mouthful for nn afternoon tea is the following: Spit Boston crackers and toast them. Soften cream cheese with cream or even with milk, put through a pastry tube onto each hnlf of the cracker, completely filling it with a rosette. You may sprinkle a bit o f paprika In the middle o f a tiny bit o f pimento. Refreshing D rink. A most refreshing and nourishing drink is made from half a glass of sour cream, half a glass of rich milk and a pinch o f salt. Beat together with an egg beater until light and smooth. Pour into a tall glass, over the top put a thin «Mating of pulver- ize«l nut meats, and over this a scant grating o f nutnu>g. Served cold with a couple of crackers, this makes an appetizing light luncheon. Pum pkin Pie. This Is an old-fashioned recipe: Cut the oumpkin Into large pieces, keeping the skin on. and put It on to boll. When soft, icoop out the pulp, sift It and for every heaping teacup- ful of pumpkin add one pint of rich milk, two eggs, one and one-half cup fuls of sugar, one-half tablespoonful of ginger nnd the same of salt.
