WOMAN'S WORLD Housewife Needs Workroom of Her Own By Ertla Haley •P H F M EN of the house have theli libraries, dens or workshops, the youngsters th e ir playroom s or dens, hut what does the lady of the house tiuve? F requently, nothing! Homemakers need a room of their own, a sort of p rlvu te retreat where they can follow th e ir hob bles, home management or enter tain a guest or two Just ns much ss anyone else In the fa m ily. In m any houses this Is a very real p ossibility, too. If space Is utilized properly. So m any houses have small rooms which m ay be used as a •pare guest room, or as a sort of a den,or ns a catch-all fo r things that re a lly could go into the a ttic or basement. Since these rooms arc so sm ull, few have thought of p uttin g them Into real, busy use. The room 1 have in m ind enn be ss sm all us 8x8'. When a ll the space Is ca re fu lly and fu lly used, this can be converted Into a "room of her o w n " fo r the lady of the house who not only so m uch de serves It but also needs It. Here she can do her m arketing If there's a telephone nt hund; here she can catch up on letter- SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Bt Smart! Two-Piecer Has Yoke Interest Girls" Dress for School W e a r store one or two folding chairs that you want handy In cuse of enter taining. The beauty of the fragile des ert rose, that all too briefly blooms In the Mojave desert, has been raptured for perma nent enjoyment In all Its lovely colors under the durable glaze of this California earthenware. The dinnerware Is shown on brown tablecloth with a pink napkin reflecting the pink of the decorative floral design. Use Decorations To Reflect Personality In a room of her own, each hom ernukcr has a real opportunity to refle ct her own personality e f fectively. The room can be gay, sm art, subdued but churm ing, with b righ t or b rillia n t colors. If the room is sm all, take It easy on puttern since too much decora tion w ill muke it seem too fu ll und crowded looking. W ith a little more space, you can use some puttern, if this is wisely done. A picture or two, your favorites, of course, m ay be used on the walls, but too m any of these w ill only odd clutter. Much of what is used depends upon the propor tions of the room. With lots of n atu ra l ligh t, you need but few lamps. I f the room is on the shady side of the house, and you lack space fo r lamps, use the pin-up types on the walls as they w ill be space-savers. Have at least one com fortable chair in the room, as you w ill do much of your work in it. Other chairs may be added as space and necessity dictate, but when space is lacking, store folding chairs In the closet. A high fashion theme that will add smartness and ver satility to ever so many dresses, come Autumn, Is the dress and jacket combination. This may be chosen in sheer wool, Jersey, tweeds, checks and plaids with a plain fabric for contrast. There will be bare-top dresses with matching Jackets and sleeveless dresses with Jackets. The trend Is toward hipbone length and simple design. In Itself this fashion Is a wonderful double duty idea, giving the same outfit a range from daytime casual to dress-up! Another new Jacket Idea for evening In cludes separate Jackets of taf feta, often lace-trimmed. Simple and Neat J^ESTINED for a busy term at school is this exciting frock, for the 6-to-14 miss.
