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

When a ll the
space Is ca re fu lly and fu lly used,
this can be converted Into a "room

house who not only so m uch de­
serves It but also needs It.

store one or two folding chairs that
you want handy In cuse of enter­

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. Simple and
neat, it uses a bright striped
fabric to advantage.
