Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Decor in Bedroom Needs Please Only Those Persons Who Use It By Ertta Haley LIVING AND DINING rooms, and kitchens usually have to please any number of individuals. First of all there's the whole family to please, and then the number of guests who will see them which varies from several close friends to any number, depending upon the family's social circle. Successful bedrooms need please only their occupants. Children, for example, as soon as they have some definite ideas of their own that make sense, should be permitted to have a hand In decorating theirs. At least, if their Interest runs to fishing poles or worm collections, you could give them a place for them in their own rooms. Daughters frequently like wide flounces and ruffles to which mother may object because of the launder-ing problem. Let them lend a hand when this is necessary, and see whether tastes won't change. Children frequently change their minds about things more readily if they have to live with their choices. They will grow and mature much more readily if you let them have their way on some aspects of deco- - All manner of space-savin- g de-vices have been put in practice so you'll have room in the sleeping quarters for hobby interests. Foot-boards are disappearing, and so are the matching bedroom sets. You may use any type of bed. An odd mattress mounted on box springs with legs will take any type of head-board which can be decorated to match your taste. Dramatixt sloping walls . . . rating. If they feel frustrated about (decorating ideas, they may never outgrow them. Bedrooms can be interesting to you, if no one else, if they reflect your favorite colors, as well as your favorite interests. There really is no limit as to what type of hobbles 'the bedroom can show: . sewing, .patchwork quilts, hooked rugs, sketching, china collections, books or music. Like any other room, If you have a theme around which to decorate, the job will be easier and more .satisfactory. The room should hold 'together so that principles of unity are intact, and the effect should be .pleasing, as you will spend much time in the room decorated to suit lyou. Lighting Determines Color Scheme ' Rooms on the shady side of the ihouse will take lighter colors like the pastels so they can be lightened 'in their effect. You don't have to be afraid of the darker colors, if they're your preference when the room is on the sunny side of the Ihouse. No matter what the color choice, jbe certain the color you've chosen is restful. If you have a favorite 'shade, you can usually obtain it in ,the lighter and darker shades and thus have both the color desired as well as the shade the room will take ibest. Wallpapers for the bedroom are 'chosen with the same principles in 'mind. Several things will determine pattern. If the room is small, don't In place of a single bulky chest you may have twin chests mounted against the wall with a single large mirror. You don't have to forego an easy chair in the bedroom. Have a chaise lounge decorated to match the drapes or walls, or get an extra chair from the living room with a footstool for sheer comfort. The footstool can double as a seat for the dressing table. Those who like the strictly bedroom with a tester bed, can make one easily enough by using a pine headboard, two tapered uprights nailed to the wall and a few feet of cornice molding. This makes for a good center of interest, and is an excellent idea for a bed-room where rest is to be the main feature. Much Freedom Permitted In Choice of Rugs Wall-to-wa- ll or over-al- l carpeting is good for a bedroom just as it is in any other type of room, but budg-ets won't always allow it. In this case, find the largest type of throw rugs possible. It's essential that sliding rugs be eliminated as much as possible in the bedroom because they're a hazard to safety. Non-ski- d pads, rings or other devices used with the rugs will cut down this feature. Floral hooked rugs are popular in bedrooms; so are matching shag rugs. Sometimes you can buy sev-eral looped rugs, such as are used in bathrooms, and have them matched. In this case sew several of them together and you have the effect of a nice luxurious large rug. Floors should be kept covered in winter as much as possible if heat-ing is a problem, as rugs do make the room warmer with their in-sulation. In summer, however, the room may be practically bare, and it will look cooler, especially if it's on the sunny side of the house. Here Are Tips On Treating Rooms Guest rooms must frequently serve a double purpose. In many homes, they are usually the study. In this case, use a double seat sofa that converts into a bed, some low bookcases that will serve as a table when used as a guest room. When bedrooms are small and must hold two people and serve also as a sitting room, use studio couches with matching covers. They may be placed on opposite walls, or corner to corner against two adjoin-ing walls, depending upon the space available. In place of night or lamp table, use small chests which will give some storage space as well as the table top. Bed and sitting room combina-tions for the teen-ag- e set as well as male members of the family take to tailored bedrooms with studio couches. Chintz, if a print is desired. Is good to use in tailored rooms with sturdy cotton tweeds or plaids or the solid colors in herringbone or duck. For children who use their rooms for entertaining, bright plaids make a sturdy but cheerful background. Wide couch beds, pushed against the wall take little space and leave the center of the room open for ta bles and games. Have plenty of storage space. crowd it with a large figured paper. It may even be better to paper just one wall, like that behind the bed, if the room can't take much pattern. Sloping walls in a bedroom can be handled easily by extending paper on up and across the celling. This is particularly true of attic bedrooms. Rooms with dormers should, be dramatized since you can do noth-ing to hide them. A contrasting paint or a small figured wallpaper will do the trick and add interest to the room. Keep the woodwork light in the bedroom, unless there are very strong Indications against it. White or light gray shades will go with almost any type of decor. Inexpensive Furniture Can Be Smart Odd chests, shelves, mattress mounted on box springs, comforta-ble chairs of uncertain vintage, can all go into today's bedroom and still be smart Modern bedrooms are so flexible that they can look hobby or play-rooms, and still meet the standards of good taste. That's the reason for the great freedom in choice of furni-ture. tf0VSgtl0lD f IA S 0So $ $ lydunn Cmmhhsi Pineapple Punch Pleases at Parties (Set Recipes Below) Entertaining at Showers HAVING A PARTY for a bride-to-be- ?

F. Lothrop SAM BROMLEY replaced the in its cradle with a slam and reached for his broad-brimme- d felt. "I'm going out on this case my-self," he told the office girl. "That's the third call in an hour about these explosions and the deputies O Minute don't seem to be d Fiction doing a thlng The pavement Just blew up over a culvert and broke five windows in the Wright Hatchery near Sunville." He stomped out and got into his car. He had an uneasy feeling about these blasts and a very personal reason for investigating them him-self. People in little towns all over the county had been calling for the last twenty-fou- r hours. And his son, Tommy, was missing. "I thought the Rooshlans had bombed us," old Ben Grubbs in Claremont had said. "Busted the sidewalk over the crick like egg-shells." Sam drove to all the spots re-ported and inspected the damage. Sidewalks heaved up, windows shat-tered, but not a clue. At the Sunville Hatchery he met his deputies. "What do you make of It, Sheriff? Could be Red sabotage, eh?" Sara shook bis head. "Hood-lums, probably. Not any real damage done." But be didn't say what was in bis mind that it could even be kids' pranks. He thought uneasily again of his own son. Tommy, and that crazy gang of his. StiU, It didn't seem as If kids would go that far. All day he drove around and at supper-tim- e he went wearily home. Somehow the baked potatoes and ham didn't appeal to him. "Where's Tommy?" he demand-ed of his wife. "He'll be coming later," Ida as-sured him. "He's all excited about these explosions. The fellows have been kidding him about his dad not stopping them. I'm sorry, Sam," she said, as he jumped up. "Where was he last night?" he persisted. "Out all hours!" "Oh, just around, as he says. Studying at Ted's and they stopped for a hamburger at Joe's place. I believe him, Sam." TUT Sam put on his hat and went out. He had to know. At Joe's place he got out of the car and went in. "Tommy in here last night for a hamburger, Joe?" he asked. "Yep, he was, Sam,'1 Joe an-swered. Just then there was an-other low boom and a thud. Sam made for the door. He tracked the sound by the crowd. And there he found Tommy and his gang hover-ing over a hole in the bridge. As he came into the light, Sam saw dark rings around his son's r rm "I thought the Rooshlans had bombed us," old Ben Grubbs said "Busted the sidewalk over the crick like eggshells." eyes and smudges among the freckles. "I saw 'em. Dad. We've followed that old jalopy till we saw them stop by this creek, and we slipped up and watched. It was that wild bunch from Milville High. They had a great stunt balloons filled with gas. They light the kerosene-soake- d string and then beat it. And by the time the string burns up to the balloon they can be miles away." Sam scratched his head sheepish-ly. "As simple as that, eh? But we'll soon have them in jail il you've got the proof." Tommy looked thoughtful. "Oh, I have. But what those kids need is something to do--not JaU. There's nothing for kids to do around these little towns but think up deviltry for excitement. People ought to help plan something for them to do instead. I might have been one of them myself." Sam grinned. "I guess you're right at that. In fact, I thought that you might be in on it" "Me? Huh! I've been trailing them down because the fellows said my dad was a d sheriff, and I knew better. I had to help." Sam smiled again. "Guess I hetter put you on as deputy. You had me worried. Maybe we've been going at this whole business wrong-end-t- I'll try your angle and see what we can do."

LYNN SAYS: Combine Favorite Flavors For Tasty Dishes Minced clams, broth and all that comes in the can, combined with tomato soup and a bit of pea soup make an excellent soup combina-tion. Add a squirt of lemon for spic-ing the flavor. Fry some thin slices of ham un-til they frizzle; at the same time, saute some mushrooms and serve both on French toast for a really good luncheon or Sunday night fuooer. There are times when you need a first course, so split tiny creamy puffs and fill with lobster or crab-mea- t, shredded and mixed with mayonnaise. Extend the chicken with oysters when you want to cream it Serve on toast triangles or hot, flaky bis-cuits. If you uke cornbread, try these in place of the biscuits. With fruit salads, there's nothing better than this dressing: mix to-gether 3 parts soured cream, 2 parts chili sauce and t part Wo-rcestershire sauce. Chill thoroughly. |
