Nursery riuows Make the pillow cover rernovable for washing purposes. Every dog has his day, they say, and this seems to be the time for little Scotch terriers to enter the living room via the pillow route. The oblong pillow shown here is also made out of a flour bag, dyed some rather dark color, such as forest green, maroon or yale, blue, depending on the color scheme of the room for which it is intended. It has boxed sides, bound with black. The dog is cut out of black felt and appliqued, or worked in the new wool stitch that is so pop ular right now. llis collar is green or red. For the porch pillows need to be sturdy and thump-able. The square one here is made from an osnaburg feed bag in its natural color. The sides are boxed and bound with a bias tape. It is decorated with ap pliqued flowers cut out from bits of gingham or cretonne which one happens to have left over, making the cost virtually nothing. the work before tho fall rains and winter snows are due. .Set out new plants of rhubarb now.

Hothouse : equipment will be used to propa gate the seed. The seed was secured through Mrs. Clarice Nye. descendant of another Prospect pioneer, known throughout south- . rrn Oregon for her wild flower ! collection. The seed will contain 75 varieties i from German botanical gardens and To from Knglund. Wild flow- i els found In the Alpine section find the highlands of Thibet are Includ ed. Dr. Frlttt Lempers; of Germany has contributed seed from Hotan Ischer Garten, Lertin, and Hotan- ! ischer Garten, Munchen. Captain C. li. Oreshntn gathered seeds from I tho British Isles, in which the ' primrose family predominates. Native wild flowers as well as those fro mother countries will be sdded to Mrs. Pearson's Rarden. A natural pond on the grounds at Alkenslde will be used as tho point ' of planting. The r lowers will 'radiate from the pond, tlio climb Ing varlfties allowed to clinic to ; the rocks which line the bank.

Daddy, who had made himself responsible for three-year old Polly's preparations for bed since mother's return from the hospi tal, dashed from the room. A moment later he was heard in quiring in pained surprise why Polly had unrolled all the toilet paper, and his reproof was follow- ed by Polly's tearful attempt at an explanation, for she adores hor daddy and can't bear to have him scold. Strange to say. exactly the same thing occurred the next evening. Daddy, unused to his task, left Polly in the bathroom while fie ran down to look at the furnace; mother was busy with the new baby brother, and when daddy re turned in haste fifteen or twenty minutes later the paper was . not only unrolled but torn in bits. "Polly, you naughty little girl! Dady scolded you for that last flight and now you have done ,'t again. Why did you tear up the paper?" The small hands were spatted and poor little Polly went to bed In disgrace for the second night.

The ordinary living room Is go ing the way of the old "parlor." The American family might be said to have come to life when the parlor was Invaded on every day occasions Instead of being re served for Sunday and special events. Now we are transforming the living room from a place for sit ting around waiting for 'bedtime into a place in which the whole family ms.y really live. In most homes It Is already re ception room, music room, recre ation loom, library and often din ing room. Hut In how many homes does It remain comfortable while used for these purposes? A unit for every purpose Is Ihe new way to mske the living room livable the unit may be a eor ner, one side of the room or good part of It. Conversation? The conversa tional unit should be grouped around the fireplace If any and should have a daybed or daven port. An easy chair or two, a table and a lamp. A low coffee table or a small gateleg, ready for refreshments, of ten doubles the pleasure of an hour. Music naturally h.s s unit. Ar ranged around a piano, radio or victroln or all. Thpre must he aj chair which insists on relaxation.! a csbfnet to eliminate he music, yes wld me stick. It's just to show me autorlety!' You know. Hob I dear, it was partly our fault that tho little monkey got Into mischief. Of course she knew that sho should not unroll the paper, .but We for got and left her there for an un reasonable length of time. She'll have to learn to mind ami not play wit it, hut If wc leave her alone Willi a temptation and yards of rustly paper must bo an almost irresistible temptation to :i little tot of throe and then pun ish her just to show our author ity I don't seo that we gain much. Lets give her k fair trail and help her do right: then if she deliber ately disobeys I won't Interfere. You can try your hand at making the punishment fit the crime." "Well. I suppose it isn't exactly sqliarc to take it out on Polly be cause I forgot but right now I want to engage your services as counsel in case I ever get into difficulties with the law. You cer tainly ran work up a grand line of defense on short notice," said Bob as he twirled tho dials of tho radio. "Which shall lt be tho concert from FiSD or the WTIC quartette?" The question of removing or not removing too great a temptation from Polly's path may seem a small matter, but was it? In any case It illustrates Ihe sane, friend ly way in which Nell and ttob go at the whole subject of child train ing. They disagree frequently, but never before tho children. Tht'y discuss a question, eomo to a do clslnn.eYtnd both of them live up to It. And what tholr common sense doesn't see them through, their sense of humor does. painted floor In the hall may help to give scale to the composition and will afford a featuro of in terest to the eye. The custom of painting wooden floors with a pat tern, either in this way or in some other manner. Is a usage that has plenty of suggestive precedent in old American domestic decoration and It Is so attractive that it de serves to return. N To Avoid Mocking Light When you do not want to place heavy furniture beforo the living room windows try using a simple group consisting of an aqunrfum, flanked on either side by a plant stand holding trailing Ivy. A torrential globe Is also pleas ing In front of a window. It Is not only a most decorative feature In tho room, but Is of great In terest to both old nnd young, and cannot bo excelled, ns a "conver sation piece." A twelve-Inch globe Is a good .size for most rooms. Ono In soft map colors should be I chosen. New living room n sheet pile.

Care of the Window Screens Y Ihe time that flies and mosquitoes go into winter quarters, the window presents that so effectively kept them on the outside looking In arc ready to follow suit. The housewife who undertakes to store them In the attic or closet until tho next season wilt be aiiur.cd o find the wire or copper meshes fairly j clogged with dust and dirt, at-1 though this did "not seem uppur-'j cut when the screens were In place. Ilefore they are put away theyi j must be carefully cleaned. I- lrt.i j brush them thoroughly, prefcr , a lily out of doors, with a. long : handled brush such as Is used In connection with a dust pan. Theji dip the brush In warm sudsy wa ter and appty generously to the screens on both sides, being sure not to miss the frame work. Ulnse by means of a hose If pos sible, otherwise by pouring clear water over the screens with a cup or ladle. It is Important that tho screens be thoroughly dry before they are stored, and for this reason it is best to set them in the sun for several bums until every crevise lias been reached. Wrap them in newspaper or burlap, label the package and with the advent of sprlug.-ou will find them ready for another sea son's service. A Turkey Itacv, At this time of the season when we are all thinking about Turkeys lor Thanksgiving, we will have a Turkey race.

Giants Among For the The development among the daffodils during tho last decade has been In the way of enlarging the bloom and getting longer and stronger stems. More recently hybridizers have been enlarging the color range, getting pink Into the trumpets of the larger sections and Into tho eups of the smaller types. There are also brilliant red cupped types now well developed, The new cotorH uro a promise, of tho future. The giant types, however, tiro available for our gardens. The three best that may bo easily ob tained are King Alfred, a brilliant all-yellow blooming early; Van Wavereu's (Hunt, a lingo two-toned yellow trumpet, nud Weardale Perfection, ti pale yellow and white t ruin pet.
