CORNERS CAN ADD GREAT CHARM IN ROOM DECORATION

Cozy Nooks Are Easy f to Fashion BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Sendee Writer ■ NEW YORK, Jan. 2. —Corners £ojne Into their own In the new jhome schemes of decoration. . There is charm in a corner that fit) Open space can possess. It Is Surprising how timid homemakers eem to have been about utilizing these intriguing spots of a room to piake them yield individuality and hospitality. Instead of sticking something cat-a-corner in a room, as if there were bogey man likely to dodge up jantl protect the actual corner from being useful, some rooms can bearYanged to play up the last small inch of a corner's right-angledness to itage. Smer cupboards are the most us and one of the most successful ways to utilize this space. T&sse may be old-fashioned threedbhiered “whatnots,” inclosed china cabinets or a combination of both. Bookcases Are Help ir Anew way to use the corner cupboard idea is to build bookcases Ifclong both sides of the room, havSig them meet in friendly manner set the corner. Against this enticing background build up a reading jtook with easy chair, lamp, footstool and low arm chair table. £ Quite a daring idea for utilizing Inch, meek furniture as Colonial is fib have an early American love seat one wall of a corner, pushed against the other wall, with appropriate picture or book rack above. A lamp on the other side of the love at and a cute hooked rug or some Other rug compatible with Colonial furniture right in front of it to draw |he eye to this inviting spot, b Corners and desks would seem to feo together naturally, but seldom do so. Both have a sense of pri- j isacy about them. Both seem a bit; Withdrawn from the busy life of the | tpom about them. K Desk Can. Be Used Well vAn admirable desk arrangement tp a warm living room, with tan trails, a rich Persian rug with predominating rose tones and furniture {tpholstery that plays up to the rose, tb to place a flat desk of rich, warm tyoods in gold and reddish tones flanking the side wall, against the end wall and back it with a screen I shat is painted in yellow, rich red, j blue and gold. Put a mirror on the wall abreast | of the desk's end which wil] reflect | the mellow light of the lamp's gulden, yellow shade. Slightly in #ottt of the opposite end of the desk place one of the room's wide, graceful armchairs and stool to fiatch. This gives the desk a slightly withdrawn aspect, yet j it an integral part of the rsom. " Pay bed Arrangement Good sVery unusual and quite worth trying is the arrangement that puts head of a daybed smack into the corner, allowing the daybed to jut dpt into the room, taking regular grouping of furniture to complete unit of decoration. 5A lovely example of this arrangement is achieved in a wood-paneied and on a neutral carpet. French Provincial furniture is used fbr the daybed, the desk that flanks on one side and the table which Banks it on the other. -:.The color scheme of this room is pleasing, with the paneling in pearwood and a ceiling valance of toile tjouy, in mulberry red and white, le draperies on the daybed repeat e colors, as does the upholstery on the chair. Reception Is | Held by Club Chiefs, Wives ' ?Vh\ ■ . Mrs. George S. Olive was in charge of the annual reception given by officers and directors of the Meridian Hills Country club and their wives, at the club, on New Year's day. Mrs. Alex R. Holliday, wife of the president, and Mrs! Harold L. Sutherlin poured. Holiday greenery, garlands of smilax, poinsettias and bows of red tulle were used in decorating. The tea table was centered with red roses, and lighted with red tapers. Miss Edna Phinnery. harpist, played and sang between 4 and 6. Mrs. Julie C. Williams gave a musical monologue, “An Old-Fashioned Album,” using old-fashioned costumes. Members of the younger set at the club held a skating party.

Castoria corrects CHILDREN’S f ailments

What a relief and satisfaction it is ior mothers to know that there is always Castoria to depend on when babies get fretful and uncomfortable! Whether it’s teething, colic or other little upset, Castoria always brings quick comfort; and, with relief from pain, restful sleep. And when older, fast-growing children get out of sorts and out of condition, you have pnly to give a more liberal dose of this pure vegetable preparation to right the disturbed condition quickly. Because Castoria is made expressly for children , it has iust the eeded mildness of action. Yet you in alp-ays depend on it to be

ROOM IS GIVEN RICH EFFECT

* Above, a rich decorative effect is achieved in this room corner by a tan paper background, a rose-colored rug, an antique chair with gold and old rose chintz, and a footstool to match; a scren painted yellow, red, blue and gold; a yellow lampshade that brings out the yellow in a desk. A day-bed may feature a “corner ensemble.” Here you see one of mulberry stripes in a setting of French Provincial furniture. Pear wood panels, red and white valances, and red, black and gold vases lend a quaint charm to the scene.

Your Child Child Coddled After Illness Ruined by Misguided Mother

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The other day I was in a home where a 6-year-old boy held the center of the stage. Indeed, lie is almost 7 and tall for his age, giving one the impression of manliness at fnst glance. He answered the bell when I rang, acted the part of a young host perfectly. shook hands, t-old me what chair to sit down on, and went and called for his mother. In one hand he caivied a small brown object, about five inches long, ?.n old battered velvet dog that had had two birthdays since I had seen it last. “His old fetish!” said my astonished mind. “I’ve heard of children being devoted to toys but not at this age nor for so long a time At least not to an insignificant symbol like that.” Clings to His Toy He didn't put it down for an instant. If he did it was only to grab it up again the instant nis hands were free. His mother said he seldom Ist it out of his sight, night or day. and the psychology of it puzzled me considerably until I began to see a few other things that threw a little light, His mother and everybody in the family refer to him always as “The Baby.” He is the youngest, the other children arc grown up. At the dinner table he was put in the high'chair he'used when he was 2. The tray was detached, but I set on the table before him. A bib with a pattern was tied around his neck.

effective. It is almost certain to clear up any minor ailment and cannot possibly do the youngest child the slightest harm. So it’s the first thing to think of when a child has a coated tongue, is fretful and out of sorts. Be sure to get the genuine; with Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the

not improve. He teased and whined and on occasion was impudent. In fact his conduct was decidedly “babyish” in. cyery way. Now if ever there was a fine little chap on earth two years ago it was this same small boy. He is smart, good looking, straight as an arrow, naturally kind and sympathetically thoughtful. Then he had an illness, a long one, and he suffered a great deal. His mother carries the scar of that struggle. She saved her baby. To her he always will be the pitiful suffering little soul that a merciful Providence spared to her. And she is repaying the Providence by this. I wish I could do something. He was born for independence and courage and leadership—l am sure of that. But unless a miracle happens his mind ever more will be turned in on himself as a helpless, weak “baby,” to be pampered, waited on, coddled.

Just Every Sense Day

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IBELIVE it is perfectly possible to find numbers of well-in-tentioned men filling the office of justice of the peace. Nevertheless, after one has seen, as I did, a boy and a girl staggering halfdrunk out of the office of one of these worthies, who just had married them, it seems amazing that we do not rise up and abolish the entire lot. - It's altogether too easy, a thing to get married, nowadays. And before I started this subject, I consulted my lawyer about the legal authority held by the justices in this matter. The law, at least in our. state, presumes that the person who pronounces the ceremony is able to discriminate as to the fitness of the persons being married. The attorney explained: “A man is not permitted to msrry any insane person or one who appears in an unfit state to be married, and common sense should tell him that, an intoxicated person, is at least, temporarily insane." That's true. But whenever did common sense and the law go hand-in-hand, or common sense and an itching palm? a tt tt AT any rate, these marriages of drunk to drunk are becoming much too numerous. Youngsters can run out and get married on a bet or a lark or as a hilarious terr ruination of a cncktail party. The thing is being done every day. in every community in this land. And if it's not a disgrace to our social system it’s at least a good sign that the intelligence of our license clerks and of our justice of the peace departments is at a very low ebb. The old-fashioned church wedding may be a relic of paganism, but there’s this to be said for it: It gan not be approached in a spirit of levity. Culmination of the formal wedding may be the divorce court, but that of one of these intoxicated, courthouse farces is certain to be.

Flower Mission Postpones Its Annual Dinner Annual luncheon of the Indianapolis Flower Mission, held each January for many years, has been postponed at least until next spring, due to the stress of the unemployment situation, according to a letter sent to members of the board of directors by Mrs. David Ross, president, and Mrs. James D. Ermston, corresponding secretary. “In formulating plans for this meeting,” the letter says, “the committee appointed to arrange for a dinner or luncheon feels that during this period of unemployment, with its heavy demands upon social agencies and social workers, it is inadvisable to hold such a meeting.” The regular monthly business meeting will be held next Thursday at the Board of Trade building. The annual luncheon has been for more than fifty years the one social event of the year and, has .been a guest affair. Members of the Flower Mission, which specializes in assistance to tubercular patients and heir families, have been looking after patients in their homes in widely scattered parts of the city, ,as they have been without a central hospital since October. :~r
