A Few Dollars Can Buy True Distinction One Striking Picture Will Modernize A Lifeless, Drab Room AN ARTIST'S studio seldom impresses a woman as the sort of place in which she would like to live. It's often more than a little messy--and usually women see nothing but the mess.

But, if you can get over the fact that not much dusting has been done recently, you will have to admit that most studios have an air of distinction. In spite of all the clutter, and the characteristically misAn impressionistic cellaneous furnihead, or ture, such a room usually leaves an impression of quiet good taste. Why? IT'S BECAUSE the artist always has one or two very fine paintings or pieces of sculpture, or fabrics, or something. They jump right out of their rather unattractive surroundings. They proclaim that their owner has an eve for beauty.

They lend charm, and great distinction to what would otherwise be a very dull place. WHICH LEADS to something important, that women can apply to their own problems of home decorating. No room need be completely drab and commonplace. Even though "doing over a room" is out of the question. even though you feel you can't afford a single piece of new furniture, there's a way your room may say something interesting and stimulating about your good taste.

IN RECENT years excellent modern art pieces have been reproduced on an arrangement are paper and not of flowers canvas. And there are those marvelous colors--in all their original richness! FINE PIECES of sculpture, thanks to the classical fad, are beautifully copied in stark-white plaster. And the low prices are actually amazing--well under $10, very often, for really charming reproductions. ONLY THE Morgans and the Rockefellers of this world can own the originals. But there's no reason why anyone can't enjoy the beauty of a fine copy, and copies are no longer considered in dubious taste.

That was a snobbish idea that went out years ago. a large scale. On such a large scale, in fact, that their prices--in many cases--are extremely, low; Have a dollars. you, for instance, ever looked at the marvelous color copies of fine modern paintings? They're so good that you have to touch them before you believe they GO TO a good art shop and look at the rich reproductions of modern paintings. Many of them probably won't appeal to you very much.

A few will. And, suddenly, you will discover one with just the right colors, just the right composition, to bring your room to life. There is the yellow you have at your windows! There is the blue you have in your rug! There is a great, smashing splotch of white! Visualize the picture over or a skillful your living room character study mantle. Wouldn't it "pick up" the unrelated colors in your room and give your effect some point, some distinction? Without buying another new piece, couldn't you 1 modernize an outmoded room with that one picture? IT WILL take you a good deal of time, and a lot of running in and out of shops, before you find just the right piece for your own particular decorating problem. And, if you have doubts about your taste in such things, it might be well to consult a friend who "knows something about art." IT COSTS VERY LITTLE TO IMPROVE YOUR KITCHEN This kitchen would depress anybody- HERE IS a kitchen to curdle the very soul of any meticulous housewife.

True enough, the majority of kitchens -these days--are somewhat more pleasing than this one, but many are no more convenient, no less fused. THE OLD-STYLE kitchen is not only unattractive, it's inconvenient and a dreadful time waster. Not enough places to put things, no special place for anything. Getting a meal in such a kitchen takes twice as long there's no orderly arrangement, no scientifically thought -out plan. -FASHIONED, dark woodwork is very charming in its place but its place is not the kitchen.

There, everything should be as white and washable as an operating room. Working in a gloomy room like this one is enough to depress any woman. And. no matter how hard she scrubs, she can't make it look bright and pleasant, like pictures of model kitchens in magazines. SINCE THE average woman must spend many hours in her kitchen, she should--if possible--manage to make lit a cheerful, efficient place.

She should be able to work there without feeling depressed and shut up in a box. the feeling of drudgery connected with housework is the result of dim, dull kitchens and dark, musty laundries. What woman, for instance, would feel like getting into a smart new wash dress just to slave in such a place as this kitchen? but a small sum will change it WHAT A difference! And a ably small sum of money will turn a kitchen like the one above into a kitchen like this! Everything is compact, bright and attractive. No woman could feel it a great hardship to spend a few hours a day in such a pleasant place. The surroundings encourage her to look crisp and smart, to try cooking experiments, to make rather a game of housekeeping.

Size 8 requires yards of 39-inch material, with yard of 35-inch contrasting.

Calesman looks rather hurt. Says no, she has seen all the blues--but they have lots of other colors. Couldn't she consider gray, for instance? Says gray is very pretty with blue.
