It Is going to be one of the nicest rooms in the house, for I shall spend most of my time In It and I am going to make it so attractive that It will be a pleasure to work In It. I know too well what the faults of my other kitchen were and I am not going to repeat the mistakes I made there." "Then yon will not have as large a kitchen as you had," she was In- terrupted.

I know that this color scheme is a good one for a kitchen, because I have it in mine. Then consider the question of floor finish. If it Is uneven from many years of hard wear, have It planed smooth, if possible, and then covered with linoleum, choosing a design to carry out your color scheme. In case, however, the flooring Is warped, do not try to use linoleum, for, even with a lining, it will not give good service. It will be better for you to keep the old flooring and to use it in Its nat oral state until such time as you fee; you can have it replaced. 1 have seen many cases where people spent more money than a new floor would cost In attempting to rem edy the condition of one that was old and worn. In former days, when expensive utensils were turned over to the tender mercies of careless servants, a housewife was wise in considering the initial cost.

For the woman who glories In wintry sports, apparel must needs be sturdy at the same time it is modish. A background of snow and ice also calls for all the gay color that cuu be crowded Into the picture. The ensemble shown here Is pictoiially a delight to the eye. This coat and cap are a Canadian product and connected with them Is a charming bit of history. It seems that Barbara Kent, the screen star who ever smiles her way into our hearts, Is a Canadian hy birth. During a recent visit to her native land ber ndmirers there presented her with this fascinating cap and coat of brush wool. The colors are red and white. To the encouragement of the American girl who aspires to own such a coat be it said that coats very like this one are being shown In smart sports departments here. Some of the most stunning ones are actually made of Navajo Indian blankets. To prove it some shops display a blanket in the subject of fashionable luggage has become that complex a single suitcase is' but the beginning of equipment necessary for a fastidious traveler. Likewise, in matter of materials, whereas a few simple leathers were offered for selection in the long ago, in this day and generation we are called upon to choose from among an infinite variety of Interesting media. Reptile leathers for the making of line luggage are the latest adventure of the luggage stylist. Bags and boxes of python, lizard, watersnake, alligator have found their way into the mode. The scope of ideas has also so broadened that even hats, coats and gloves are matched to the bags and other traveling equipment The seven-piecensemble of snake and lizard skins pictured here features the reptile coat and hat and glove trimming in exact match to the golf bag. overnight bag, hat box and valise To be sure, matching reptile leath er sets are not always as Inclusive as is the ensemble here Illustrated. Tle OA ICi d But some of us are like a banker I knew, in a little town, who boasted proudly that he was the only man in his state who still used a slate for casting up his daily balances. His business grew away from him and weut to more progressive men who used adding machines. I suppose to this day he wonders why he lost his business and probably claims that the other men used unfair methods. It is the same principle upplied on a small scale that makes a woman do without a double-boile- r because It is expensive. She loses much valuable time trying to make something else take the place, and burns up food In the attempt to do without it.

And If you do," he whispered knowingly, "I will lead you to the nicest brook where you can wash them off with fresh rain water. "Do come!" "I cannot," said the Cardinal Bird, "I do not like the earth. T want to be flying in the air, or sitting on the branches of trees.

This subject Is uppermost In my mind, for It Is a problem that I have met lately.

Look about your kitchen. See what can be done to improve it A fresh coat of paint on the walls will work wonders. If your kitchen is painted a gray or dull buff, the color should be changed. Dse Instead some bright cheerful tone. Sunshine yellow, a soft hull, cream,- or some other color that reflects the light will raise your spirits and you will find that the day's work will go much faster. Light colors are more practical than dark ones In a kitchen. Dark colors absorb light, while light ones reflect It and, therefore, they reduce lighting expense. I always thought 'enamel paint would be best for a kitchen, but now I found, to my sorrow, I know better. that It Is not a good thing to use. Even with the best of care, things will spatter in a kitchen and It Is impossible to wash enamel paint without removing some of the gloss. A friend of mine used what Is culled an egg shell finish on her kitchen wall, and It is not only better looking, but It Is far more practical. One reason we women hate being In our kitchen so much is because we get so tired looking at the same old things day In and day out We change the other rooms hi our homes and leave the kitchen.

"Thank you for inviting me," added the Cardinal Bird politely, "but I never go along on the ground. It's not the way of cardinal birds." Pretty soon some people came along. At once they noticed the beautiful cardinal bird. He wore his best red suit, but as It was winter he had added gray to his wings. His collar and tie were of black and his feathers stuck up on top of his head so as to make him look very stylish and fine. "Oh, what a wonderful bird," said the people. Mr. Cardinal Bird heard that, of course and so did Mr. Robin Redbreast. Well, when the Cardinal Bird heard the praise he began to sing, a glorious high voice he had, and lie sounded his clear notes over and over again. Then suddenly he stopped, cocked his head on one side, as though to say, "And what do you think of me now?" From down on the ground Mr. Robin Redbreast h ' been listening. "Oh, that was wonderful, wonderful," he trilled. "Listen to that dear little robin," said one o the people. And they all looked at the dear, friendly robin hopping about on the lawn. "There is nothing so friendly as a robin, he comes down and lets us see him," said the people. Then they went off and got some bread crumbs for him. Mr. Robin Redbreast wanted to "share them with the Cardinal Bird, but of course the Cardinal Bird would not come down and step on the ground. And the people continued to say: "There is nothing, after all, quite so dear and nice, as the friendly robin."
