You put In a table with chairs and a buffet and possibly a glassed chest. It was the room in which you had your meals. This may be one of the reasons the dining room has passed oufcgof favor In some circles. Another is that, for approximately the two or three hours a day it was used, it was an expense and a space con Classroom Fashion worked out intelligently and tastefully can give you a room which youre proud to have in your home, and on display. If youre building or remodeling, you may want to take advantage of built-i- n features for the dining room. This is especially true if the room is small, or if its a combination living-dinin- g room. One wall can be used for a built-i- n cabinet which will house all manner of dining accessories like glassware, silver, linen and dishes. Combination living and dining areas cxfti also be separated by flexible screens to give you privacy during dining, and then, too, to To stiffen organdy curtains, mix water up a tub of very thin starch extension when its needed. Then, too, for a feeling of space, keep the drop leaf table against a wall until the room is put to use. If you lack chairs in the living room and cant afford them, its wise to buy at least two chairs, to be used by host and hostess that can serve in dining or living rooms. Dining rooms which are to serve as music or sewing rooms should have their furniture carefully chosen so the appearance isn hodge-podgRadios or televisior sets in the dining room, to one eno should be finished in harmonious woods, and the chairs or loveseats near them can have the same slip covering as the dining room chairs.

Basic decorating principles apply to dining areas, no matter to what other uses the room is put. This gives rise to some problems, but fore- thought. Treat Combination Room As Separate Unit When dining and living room area is combined into a single room, its usually built so that the end nearest the kitchen is reserved for dining.-Thi- s may or may not be separated by flexible screens, or a Dutch door type of arrangement. If painted or papered, the whole room should be done the same. The floor covering is to be the same in both cases. If draperies come in the dining area, these should match those of the living room. If the room is narrow, you may use this exception in the wall decor. The dining end of the room may have figured or printed paper if the remainder of the room has plain walls. The predominant color in the paper used, however, must match or harmonize with the plain color. Its possible to furnish the living room in modern light woods, and the dining room in traditional furniture, using dark woods. The two types are frequently combined in the same rooms, and this is an excellent way to do the combination unit, especially if you are more pleased with the design of traditional furniture for dining, than-t- he modern types. In an average sized combination unit, the dining area will have room for the table and chairs. There may be enough space along the wall for dining accessories. If you cant find the buffet in a size harmonious to the unit, consider two matching chests set side by side. They make a roomy buffet and can be made to appear as a single unit when topped with a mirror which extends over both chests. Adjoining Rooms Determine Colors Consider the walls of the adjoining room before deciding upon your choice of dining room colors and scheme of decoration. Usually the dining room is adjoined by a hallway, den or living room. Since we now aim to unify the house in a decorative scheme, the rooms, though separate, should look as though they belong together in the same house. If you have a plain hall and plain living room, try a patterned paper in the dining- room. It will add versatility to the hopie. The paper, however should harmonize effectively with the plain colors used in hall and living room. What if the hall is patterned and living room plain? Use a plain stripe or wide floral stripe in the dining room. A large dining room can take the "busier wallpapers like wide bold prints and wealth ones, striped of pattern. If the room is high ceilinged its very effective to paper ceiling and come down a foot or two on the walls. Have the remainder plain. Select Wearable Floor Coverings Much used dining rooms need floor coverings built to withstand wear. If yours is a home with smaller children and a lot of their friends, consider linoleum, rubber tile or polished cork. Busy dining rooms require floor' coverings which will look neat, r ven after a meal. When dir mg and living rooms are small in scale, they may be carpeted in the same rug material. This gives a feeling of spaciousness, and ties the rooms together effectively. Those who want to give distinct separation to the rooms can do just the opposite. In contrast to the thick carpeting in living room, let - I and let the curtains soak fbr quite a while. Then hang them up and iron when they are dry.

A large mirror above the linen chests or buffet will give the illusion of more room than there actually is. Three items on the buffet should be sufficient and one is better, since these woulc be reflected in the mirror. Larger rooms can take plates or prints on the wall. In this case, too, the table can carry a flower, fruit or plant arrangement.
