' E BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH WOMANSVnnin Uncluttered Furnishings Give Home Comfort in Hot Weather By Ertta Haley HAVE U e gratifying experience of room from walking into a the sweltering and felt cool and rested after fbefew minutes? It may not actually five or ten degrees cooler in the room, but everything in it was so serene you just couldn't help feelina more relaxed. It's possible to cool your homes simply by careful decorating, as women who have done it will tell you. They don't spend a lot of money on summer decorations, but they do apply basic color and deco- ration principals to what they fur-nish. In general, uncluttered effects are to be sought. This means the use of cool or plain colors, simple designs that have no "busy-ness- " about them, and the removal of everything from that room that is not abso-lutel- y essential. Stacks of magazines, what-no-t shelves filled with small decorative pieces, extra pillows and such things which contribute so much to the warmth of the room during cool weather are best stored away dur-ing warm months. If you have a plain, cool color on the walls or a small print or plaid, then walls will need no change. However, if you have bright red, orange or rich yellow colors in drapes and slip covers, you would ing decorating project. It is here that every woman can show true ingenuity since there are no hard and fast rules to follow. You may be able to bring in some dark cast iron furniture for such a porch, and it will be real pleasure to see how attractive it can be made. A good way to lighten it properly is to paint it some shade of white or pastel yel-low relieved with touches of white. In case the furniture leaves much to be desired in the way of seating comfort, as it frequently does, plan to make chair pads and possibly arm pads for the settees and chairs. These are easily done on the machine. Materials recommended are plastics which may be purchased by the yard, oil cloth, or some of the sturdy cot-tons. Pillow ticking may offer you a cool but stury answer to the cover problem. Unless the porch is glassed, draperies offer no problem. It may, however, be more comfort-able if you get inexpensive, dis-posable type Venetian blind for screened porches as this will en-able you to shut out the glare of the sun during certain times of the day. Floor coverings for these porch-es may be rugs woven or sewed at home. Tweedy effects, rough workmanship and a casual air in such rugs usually lends much at-mosphere to these floor coverings. A set or two of nested tables, as well as a coffee table or cart are excellent furniture for porches used for dining. Unless you can salvage some out of garage, base-ment or attic, plan to buy them second hand for refinishing. Keep rooms cool .... do well to invest in an inexpensive summer set for the comfort they give. Inexpensive cottons can be pur-chased and sewed at home to fur-nish rooms for hot months. You should select them for the cool ap-pearance as well as easy launder-abilit- y since a cool room is also a fresh neat one. Keep Rooms Cheerful When Selecting Color Cool colors are not necessarily sombre colors. Even though you may choose a dark blue or a ma-roon as a predominating color, it can always be lightened with touches of white, pale pink, pastel yellow of gay green. It's especially important to keep rooms looking cheerful even though concentrating on cool col- - with uncluttered decoration. ors. Though you avoid the warm, lush colors like brilliant rose, warm yellow and orange, and the busy looking large flowered prints in draperies and furniture covers, rooms need not be drab. Materials designed especially weather are to be for the warm found easily if you consult either drapery yard goods or even fab-ric departments. If the pattern which strikes you as most appro-priate is a bit warmer in tone than it should be for a cool effect, it may still be used If kept at a minimum. . . How To Keep Bedroom Cool and Comfortable Bedrooms are the easiest of all rooms to keep cool and airy during the summer months since the prime requisite for doing so is to remove all but the essentials from them. It Is entirely proper to do away with curtains and draperies en-tirely. The windows can be made attractive by using Venetian blinds or some decorative shades. In fact, shades may even be painted white and then trimmed with de-cal- s. The purpose of leaving windows uncovered is to enable air to reach the room easily, especially at night for sleeping comfort. A certain amount of attractive bare look is especially conducive to cooling these rooms. If curtains are desired, however, they should at all times be kept frosty and crisp looking. Since curtains can be stretched to save ironing, this need not be much of a problem. It might even be wise to remove all scarves and other decorations from dresser and chest tops. In this way you do away with the cluttered look so many bedrooms acquire. When the need for drapes is you might investigate the use materials. These of summery may often be obtained in the yard rather than drapery departments. - Keep the bed covering as simple as possible to have it in harmony with the rest of the room. Th.s may match curtains or draperies, and if possible, trim down ruffles and trimming to a bare minimum. Draperies in this case might oe wheat color with a bor-der a cream or or valance of the print or plaid. If instead of using it to cover chairs or sofas completely, it might be used for just the pleating around the skirt. Plain colored walls in brown, cool green (with more blue than yellow in the color), maroon, light blue or beige gray, white, gray are prescribed for cooling rooms. Plain wall treatments also enable more pat-tern you to use somewhat of the in the other decor room, and you may easily choose plaids to small prints or shadow that is so give the cheerful aspect ffl"hens. too, can be cooled with any of the colors mentioned above. color in the Ki-tchen, With a definite curtains may be white, edged with a deeper or lighter shade of the wall color or even have a complimentary color introduced be used in such a since it's to small amount.

LYNN SAYS: Use these Kitchen Tips To Make Cooking Easier To remove pecan meats whole from their shells, soak the nuts for several hours in one quart of water with one tablespoon salt. Nuts will frequently crack in the hands and meats come out whole. Use a potato peeler to shave a bar of bitter chocolate to make chocolate curls for garnishing cakes or pies. Chocolate should be fresh and somewhat soft or you will get grated chocolate. If you oil the fish instead of the pan, chances are that the fish will not stick to the pan so readily. A bit of flour or cornmeal on the fish after oiling helps prevent it from sticking, too. To make cracker crumbs easily, place the crackers in a sack and push the rolling pin over them. Pour out of sack into a jar for keeping on shelf. When making croquettes, they will handle more easily and taste better if made several hours in ad-vance of frying. Chill thoroughly. ZOO ADOPTS SEAL BOYS CAN'T FEED LONG BEACH, CALIF. Tha Nu-Pik- e zoo adopted a baby seal recently that three boys brought ashore from Alamitos Bay and could not support. The boys discovered the seal following their sailboat one day and reached out and petted him. He reciprocated with a contented wriggle, and they took him aboard. They tried to return him to his mother by putting out to sea with, him, but the little animal refused to stay on his own, and each time he followed the boys ashore.

J Reputation For Fairness L ml By Richard Hill Wilkinson TVfflKE DIDN'T INTEND to be un-- 1 reasonable about It. He had a reputation for fairness, and he meant to live up to it. There wasn't a person alive who didn't have faults. And knowing this to be a fact. Mike could understand why 31 MiniltS such a gorgeous Fiction creatu" " s": ena Wood fell short of being a paragon. Not that Serena's faults were any-thing to worry about. If they had been Mike would never have asked her to marry him. Serena's greatest fault, he thought, was her Inability to get ready to go any place on time. Mike adopted a unique method in order to cure this deficiency. For a time he decided to fall in with Serena's habits. Thus, he would dispel any possible doubt in her mind regarding his purpose. Presently he would begin to get himself ready on time and sit around waiting. Serena couldn't help noticing and take heed. Then there was Serena's habit of going into a room, switching on an electric light and going out again without thinking to extinguish it. Mike decided to adopt the same method in effecting this cure also. During the next half year Mil.e noted with some satisfac-tion that Serena had already begun to feel his stronger per-sonality. She was allowing her-self a bit more time to get dressed for parties, and once or twice suggested to Mike that he hurry up. By the time the six months was up, Serena had improved greatly. He decided to forego his tapering off, letting well enough alone. Three months passed and the situation had taken on quite a new aspect. Ser-ena, unconsciously, was doing a lot of walking from one room to an-other switching off lights that Mike had left burning. rpHINGS REACHED a point at the end of a year that called for some sort of undertaking. Oddly, it was Serena who brought matters to a head. "1 realize," she told Mike crossly, "that everyone has their faults. But it does seem to me that you could attach a lit-tle more importance to things around the house. I've done my best to make you change your ways. I've even resorted to arti-fice." "Artifice?" "I mean, like telling you we have to be at a party 15 minutes before hand In the hopes that you'll get ready on time. I've deliberately gone into the bedroom to switch off the lights after you come out, hop-ing that you would notice. I've got out of bed and padded way to the kitchen to shut off a dripping faucet "I didn't mean that you were weakminded or anything like that. We all have our faults." that you've left running. I declare, Mike, you can't have a very strong personality." "Now wait a minute, Serena. Something's wrong here. We've got to have an understanding." "We certainly have. From now on if you leave the lights burning they stay burning and you can pay the Dill. If you're late for parties I'll go on ahead and you can make our own excuses." "But about this personality busi-ness. Now " "I didn't mean that you were weakminded or anything like that. Ve all have our faults. Why, even have some, I suppose. I've tried o help you overcome yours. But rom now on you'll have to shift or yourself, unless you can give tie some Why, hang it, I did those things deliberately to break you of them, and now I find myself doing them auto-matically and and liking it. Mr and Mrs. Mike Graham stared it each other. "It's my fault that rou have faults and I have faults jecause of your faults. Oh, darling, klike. don't you see what's hap-ene- We made the mistake of if thinking ourselves perfect. Let's tart all over again now that ve have an understanding, and vork the other way." "O.
