Show HINTS FOR A CHILD'S ROOM. Let it be nearer the garret than the cellar. Sunshine should stream in even if there has to be added a skylight. While nursery wall paper is the best paper, none at all is bettor yet. A poor floor may be covered with linoleum and a rug or so. One large room may serve, but two are better, as the bed may then be in an apartment by itself, where dust-catching dust-catching ornament has no place. Decoration of the playroom may well be largely left to the youthful occupant oc-cupant Pictures there will be! But they should be chosen with .care, as from constant association the child will have its ideas. So be certain the drawings and colors are correct. From large prints a dado may be made. Picture friezes have been formed from the smaller in many instances. Any other treasures in the pictorial line may be utilized for the passepartout passe-partout work, which is helpful exercise, exer-cise, not to mention the protection it gives to choice prints. |
