WOMAN'S WORLD Color Tricks, Storage Space Improves Small Bathrooms By Ertta Haley JWrANY WOMEN who are very happy with the way in which their homes are constructed and decorated frequently despair of their bathrooms. "Too small," they say. "Not enough room for any-thing," others add. Even smaller bathrooms have possibilities for definite decoration, and some of the smallest can be transformed so they offer almost amazing storage' possibilities. Fre-quently you'll find that once storage room has been added to the bath-room, it can be more attractive than before. Good use of space is not only a practical idea, but it can be beauti-ful because of its use. Imagine be-ing able to display your cosmetics in the bathroom, in their attractive containers. You'll appreciate their beauty, as well as your convenience to them. Consider how useful and lovely it would be if you could display your lovely thick towels in all their luscious colors, on open shelves in the bathroom. Wouldn't you like a built-i- n vanity In your bathroom, if even a small one? With a lovely waterproof skirt, it can add decor to the room as well as interest. Have you seen the lovely glass, as well as the jewel-tone-d plastic gadgets which can be placed in bathrooms for convenience in hang-ing daily washed items such as hose and gloves? You can appre- - from one side of the room to the other, or take up a whole wall, in other words, there might be a small space at the end of the tub where it could be constructed. Clay tiling will provide an excellent top while a skirt will complete the vanity. Place a mirror on the wall above the top. This may have light fix-tures on either side if light is es-sential. Vanities can be built around the basin simply by extending the top with tiling, enough to make a table. If you have the room, bring out tiling and set on a table top which has a sunken box with a lid for tissues and cosmetics. In this case when the top lid is opened, the mirror is on the inside of the box and will stand straight up. Provide Bathroom With Drying Facilities Grandmother always had a con-venient basement for her laundry, but in modern homes we like more convenience. Let's face the fact that today's bathroom has to be a miniature laundry for daily suds-ings required for hose, gloves and underwear. Most of these are quick-dryin- g and hardly worth the trouble to bring to the basement if you have one, especially when they can be washed so readily in the bathroom. Keep them neatly off the towel racks, however, if you want to avoid family feuds. One excellent solution to the dry-ing problem is a rack constructed at the end of the bath tub, espe-cially In the case of the tub that does not extend all the way to the wall. One side of the rack can rest on the floor, the other against the ceiling. Six or more horizontal bars give wonderful drying space for daily laundry as well as towel drying. Then, too, there are other drying aids which may be attached to the back of the door or on wall space in the bath. They vary all the way from folding racks or shells or hooks for such small items as socks, hose and hankies. Color Modernizes Old Bathrooms There's nothing quite like the cur-rent luscious colors for adding new-ness and pep to the d bath-room. Specially finished wallpapers can be used in many of them, while clay tiling and plastic finishes may be more practical for you. If part of the bathroom is painted, as frequently happens with the up-per half of a tiled bathroom, choose a new color for a good change. Fixtures may often be modern-ized at little expense. If the sore spot in your bathroom is the light hanging from the ceiling, you may find it will cost little to install fluorescent type lighting, or at least wall fixtures with a more modern look. Don't neglect such small fixtures as new rods, soap containers, cor-ner shelves or plastic shelves which offer storage as well as beauty. When the bathroom is used by several people, make ample pro-vision for the towels they use, both for hands and bath. Tbwel racks for the youngsters should be placed low enough for them to reach readily, thus discouraging the drap-ing of wet and dirty towels on the side of the tub. Double Cape Style r , " fv ' : V In keeping with the interest in doubles for fashion this season, here's a bolero-cap- e of sheer wool navy layered with white pique over a matching wool dress. The short-sleev- collar-les- s dress fastens with bone but-tons and is belted in navy leather. The cape is slit in the back. plies of cosmetics and tooth paste or shaving supplies. Space above the wash basin or bowl is ideal for a medicine cabinet with a mirror door. It's convenient, right at this place, and this is a good place for the mirror. Wall space elsewhere in the bath-room, especially any that's on the upper half of the wall can be used for cabinets, medicine or storage. Shadow boxes which are recessed into the walls are also decorative as well as good for storing towels, wash cloths, mats and shower cur-tains. Vanity In Bathroom Offers Convenience Having a vanity or a dressing table in the bathroom offers great convenience in many respects. If your wash basin or bowl does not have enough of a ledge on which to set bottles of cosmetics, combs, brushes and pins, you can imagine the great joy of the vanity. In addition to this, having the vanity, even a small one in the bathroom, frees the bedroom from Hp! fflr; gggpc as well as increased storage space, much clutter and transfers it to a room where any spilled powder or lotion is much easier to clean. Vanities in the bathroom easily take the place of the dressing room. This might offer further incentive to investigate the possibilities of the project, especially if it can be managed, and you do not have room for a "powder" or dressing room. There are several ways in which the bath can be modernized to take care of the project. If your bath tub does not extend all the way Bathrooms need drying facilities . . ciate their beauty as well as enjoy their practicality. Does your bathroom have a medicine chest? If not, you are missing one of the greatest conven-iences. With small children, you can store away all poisons and dangerous drugs in this, and lock them. A glass on the door will give you the essential feature of every bathroom, a mirror. Use Empty Walls For Storage No matter how small the bath-room, there's usually wall space left after the major features are installed. In modern building this space is not simply left there; it's used to the fullest limit. At the entrance to the bathroom, which is frequently a small hallway type of construction, or on one of the walls adjoining the bath tub or bowl, you may have several feet of space1 extending from floor to ceiling. For a space of this type have three or four recessed shelves of the open type constructed. These can be used for towels, bath mats and other such accessories. You'll still have two or three feet of space from the floor to the place where the shelves begin. Use these for two or three drawers. These may contain additional soap sup-plies, bathing aids such as brushes, bathroom cleaners, or extra sup- - Unusual Coffee Tobe "A A COBBLERS Bench COFFEE TABL OF SOtCp Cobbler's Bench lyjAKE YOUR own of an old-tim- reproduce e cobbler's be '?

KATHLEEN NORMS Refuse To Wither on the Stem "WE ARE THE M0ST unmar- - ried family you ever heard of," writes Harriet Sloper, from a Cleveland suburb. "Mother has been a widow since I was four and my sister Elena 10 years old. We have two teachers and part founders of a girls' school. Mother's sister, un-married, lives with us. We all talk marriage and beaus and romantic affairs mostly imaginary all the time, and we're all unmarried. "We have a big house and plenty of money; Mother has a car, Elena drives to and fro in her own car to a good job in Cleveland; I have a small car, attend college, but live at home. My half-sister-s live at home. "It is the fashion in this family," this unusually frank letter goes on, "to talk as if men were rather in-ferior beings, and as if we all had refused several good chances to marry. Lilian and Frances, my half-sister-s, like to imply that they wouldn't marry' the smartest man who ever lived. But this is not so. They are 34 and 37 now, and it is my honest conviction that neither one has ever had a real offer. Lil talks of some captain she met at the canteen in the last war, and Fran has snapshots of herself taken really a hindrance, watching and interested and all, but asking any man who ventures into our house what his intentions are. There must be men as anxious to find a good mate as I am. I forgot to say that I am studying to be a public libra-rian, and hope to have a job in about 14 months." Sit Tight That's the letter, and in answer I wrote Harriet that I would advise her to sit tight for those 14 months. I would advise her to give up the job of hunting for a sweetheart in these discouraging circumstances, but devote herself to her work, and to the family. Then, when she graduates, let her go to the head of the library board and explain that she wants to go away. It will be a very simple matter for her to carry her new credentials to some other city, and the family, though perhaps shocked, cannot find that course anything but natural and understandable. Once away from home Harriet will make new contacts, meet all sorts of new people, spread her wings. Before she knows it she will be taking an acceptable man home for the fam-ily's approval. That is, if nothing happens In the meantime. But something romantic Is ex-tremely likely to happen in the meantime. Just her plan to go away will make her more interesting, and her enthusiasm over the com-plete change, with all it involves in clothes and luggage and books to read and a new fountain pen, will take her attention off the young man to whom she is talking, and make him a little anxious to get it back again. Over and over again In this life, when we pull ourselves out of a rut and make one plan, another unexpected plan shoots across It. The wife who feels she never will have a child gets all ready to adopt one, and nature immediately sends her hopes of motherhood. The busi-nessman feeling himself unappreci-ated in the office, reaches about for another job, and just as he secures it the old firm offers him a raise and a promotion. When Harriet graduates with honors and begins to bustle about deciding just what she will take and won't take into the new venture, quite suddenly some young man in her circle will dis. cover her and make her stay. . , envied her . . ." with several men when she was in college; that's all. Elena is delicate, reserved, bookish, fastidious. They all like her at the office, and the other girls tell her of their affairs, but nobody calls on her. Wants To Marry "Now, my problem is," Harriet goes on, "that I want to marry, and marry young, because that seems the safest way. My chum, 20 years old, eloped with a married man last Christmas, and they had an awful time getting his marriage annulled and everybody cried and talked to lawyers and was horribly shocked. I wasn't shocked; I envied her. I'm not unusually pretty, but I have a good figure, swim, play tennis, love hikes and camping and I'm friend-ly. I've won prizes dancing, and I was president of the class in my last year high, and voted the best citizen in the whole school. "So why don't men come to see me? And why doesn't one of them, after we've had an afternoon of tennis, and a hot weather supper with my aspic and my strawberry ice cream, reach over and squeeze my hand when we're sitting out on the steps? What haven't I got? I want a home, I want children and a kitchen and a lawn to rakt. and a man to meet when the afternoon train comes in. Is that so unreason-able? "I don't want to dry up and wither on the family stem; I want life!" Harriet's letter finishes. "Mother can't help me, she talks as if marriage was one long trial for a woman. Certainly my sisters and my aunt are no help; they are . ONCE OVER Crooks Clamour For TV Closeups By H. I. Phillips FEDERAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS states have protested the use of the video Kefauver Com-mittee examinations, contending that it is a disturbing influence cheapening an inquiry and making things unfair for witnesses. The as-sociations hold that telecasting makes a circus of most inquiries and court proceedings, awing and hampering a witness. On the whole we doubt this. America has a cam-era complex. Her people never seem happier than when having their pictures taken. Even the most notorious crooks pose with ear-to-e-smiles. Prisoners captured for degrading crimes grin for the cam-eras as if being named Nobel Prize winners. Sheriffs, cops, detectives and court officials join in the happi-ness mood. And we have seen few principals in televised proceedings who didn't seem to lap it up. There have been cases of racketeers refusing to come clean until an extra camera was put in. And we heard of a case where a gangster refused to answer on the ground that any-thing less than a close-u- p tele-cast would tend to incriminate, degrade and embarrass him. Now and then you see an out-law who doesn't want to be recognized, but it is generally some crumb who doesn't think the crime as alleged vile enough to be associated with him. If present trends are not halted we may see almost any court trial begun with the appearance of a male quartette of cops singing: We nab the crooks, we bring 'em in, So courts can let 'em go agin; We cite the facts, the case is heard; What do we get? We get trans-ferred! A ballet would follow after which the chairman of an inquiry or the prosecutor of the court case would introduce the suspect or prisoner with a video show routine, "And now, ladies and gen-tlemen, it is my great pleasure to give you that sensational mogul, that truly talented operator of nefarious enterprises." . A trained dog act or Indian club swinger might be Intro-duced next just to sharpen up the show. And it might be well for a master of ceremonies to inform the television audience, "Wearing purple trunks Judge Twaddingham! In black trunks with white stripes the District Attorney!" It seems to us that in a televised courtroom proceeding the judge, prosecutor and accused should sit together, as on a video panel, each being allowed to wave to his rela-tives at home. And a jackpot should be worked in somehow. The day is near when the video public may tune in on a murder trial or senate inquiry and win an Icebox. We Overlooked One President Another Missouri Guy Was President For Day RESEARCH EXPERTS, digging have unearthed evidence which indicates we have overlooked a President. Instead of 33 men holding the highest office in the land, we could, by virtue of a technicality, list 34. As the "missing" President is also a Missourian, there is a doubt about President Truman's claim to fame as the first chief executive to hail from the "show-me- " state. The gentleman who has thus far been slighted by the historical rec-ord is David R. Atchison, senator from Missouri, 1843-5- The main historical clue to At-chison's Presidency is found in the 1913 edition of the Biographical Congressional Directory. The di-rectory reveals that Atchison was President of the United States for one day. |
