NEW FURNITURE FOR YOUR HOME BEST OF SPRING TONICS

‘ Occasional ’ Room Easy to Arrange By NEA Service CHICAGO, April I.—There is no spring tonic for the whole family quite so efficacious as fixing up the home. If you have an inclosed sun parlor, a little den that isn’t used as much as It should be, an alcove under the stairs, or a card room, why not treat the family to a brand new place to lounge and play? Families are staying home more. This Is the spring to capitalize that fact and make home a place pretty eonugh to encourage it. It is possible now to furnish an occasional room in the modern furniture for a sum within reason. And the new modern furniture is comfort personified, balanced and lovely to look at, pretty in its new colors and, above all, easy to clean. Modern Furniture Now Staple The metals, woods, leathers, compositions, textiles and cork that go into them create the most pleasing appearance plus utility and comfort. No wonder the new modified modern furniture is becoming staple in many homes. In planning a loafing, playing room for the family, you may do well to get a little color into It. Not overdo it. But enough color to make it rather stimulating. The walls may be a gay yellow, not too deep, or if you prefer it, one of the pretty pastel greens, with a hint of spring in them, against which almost any color is good. Rust red, yellow and green go 'Aery well together for a color scheme. Or you can go into a gay daffodil yellow, scarlet and black, if you want it very frivolous and peppy. Group Is Recommended A group of furniture that would be appropriate as the fitting for any kind of lounging and playroom would include a comfortable triple settee, a deep armchair, a low dayenport table and a high table for flowers, to put refreshments on, or to keep magazines or games. Among the new furniture, an outstandingly pretty choice is made of shiny, yellow wicker, with black composition tops to the tables, and the chairs and settee upholstered in washable fabric. The seat cushions are made of plain tones, either in rust or green, and the backs a modern design of the same tone with waving lines of yellow. Mirror Is Decorative There are glass curtain materials that repeat the design of the chairs, in the same colors, too. And to set them off, linen drapes in green or rust are good. In such a room one of the modern mirorrs is decorative and desirable. These may be made plain edged so that they seem to fit right into the wall, or be framed with metal, for further decoration. And of course you should have a amp or two of the indirect lighting variety, with a cheery yellow shade of parchment. Given such a room, and you need only to add a backgammon table, camelot, checkers and cards and you have enough bait to keep the family home for days on end.

Women’s Prison Chief Pleads for 250-Acre Tract of Land

A plea for a 250-acre tract of land where a rural colony for women prisoners might be established, was made Monday by Miss Marguerite Elliott, superintendent of the Indiana Woman’s prison. “We wouldn’t need much,” Miss Elliott said. “Just the plainest of brick buildings, and land that the women might cultivate; dairy herds, hog herds, and mor echickens. “Indiana was the first state to establish a separate prison for women. This is the original building, built in 1860, that instituted anew prison movement.” Miss Elliott addressed a group of women, including board members of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, who visited the prison at the request of the community welfare department of the Woman’s Department Club, which asks the co-operation of the state organization in obtaining new quarters for their less fortunate sisters. Calls Building Fire Trap The president building is a fire trap, she said, and over crowded. The prison is divided into two departments; penal and correctional. Correctional cases are long term cases and are given better care, for, as the superintendent believes, “to effect a reformation in a woman’s character would take longer than ten days to two weeks!” In the front of the building, visitors inspected the library, where books are aranged and numbered according to the public library system. In the rear, the dining rooms were viewed. The dining room for the “long termers" met wit hthe approval of the women visitors. In the center of the table, covered by snowy linen, was a potted begonia, and tlie chairs, around the table, were upholstered in dark leather. Cleanliness Is Feature Many remarked that the most remarkable feature of the prison was its cleanliness. The walls were spotless, and the oak floors were scrubbed The kitchens are large and airy, and equipped with the most modern of sanitary appliances. In the pantries are stored canned iioods, some of it canned by inmates. In the baking rooms were freshly baked loaves of bread, of which they bake more than one hundred loaves daily, including rye and white. One of the industries practiced in the instittuion is shoe repairing, which is done by the women at a saving of more than $l4O dollars a year Their neat blue denim dresses are made at the prison, and their shoes are manufactured by the men at the state prison at Michigan City. Everything possible that Is used at the prison is made either by the women themselves or at other state institutions. Even the rugs arc woven in the building. The Inmates’ cells also were spotless. Tht only thing “cell-like” about them was the white gri’led door’at each entrance. The beds we~e white r iron cots, with white spreads and * lace-edged pillow slips The women

Church services are held every Wednesday and Sunday in the chapel, with ministers of all denominations officiating. The Rev. Lewis Brown speaks on Thursday nights. A surgery, where medical examinations are made and where operations are performed, is in charge of Dr. Rose J.

If our work is to be well done, and to be of lasting good, we must get to the country bluelnfashion FOR DECORATING Blue as a decorating color is coming back into fashion. At the Antiques exposition in New York, it was interesting to see what a large quantity of blue was used by the decorators who exhibited.

Through their intuitive knowledge of values, visions and standards of life are formed in the souls of men.” Mrs. Rippin urged women’s division to push the movement for sane sports for women and girls in this country, in the words, “the ideals for which the women’s division of the N. A. A. F. stands must be made the household words in the mouths of all girls today, in order that these ideals may be lived tomorrow.”
