quarters on the least possible expenditure.

| WHOSE ANNIVERSARY IS IT TODAY?

One way of solving it is to take along an extra trunk filled with

draperies, bedspreads, and the little things you love to have around

against the neutral background of most furnished hotel rooms, boarding houses, or flats. The trunk it~ self can go right into the living, or bed-sitting room as part of the

canvas cover adorned with your monogram. It will serve as a convenient extra chest to hold clothes, towels, and sheets, or table linen, while the flat top does duty as a seat for overflow guests.

Slipcovers for Hotels

What goes into the trunk is largely a matter of personal taste. The Cotton-Textile Institute offers the following suggestions which represent a consensus of opinion

subject of “How to Live in a Trunk.” They include two pairs of bright chintz or woven cotton curtains, made extra long (about 10 feet) which can be allowed to trail to the floor when they are too long for the windows. Two bedspreads may match the curtains or be of durable corduroy or monk’s cloth. One designer suggested corduroy valances in the same color as the spreads. The idea is to push the beds against, the wall to make couches. Pillows are transposed into backrests with covers. to match draperies or bedspreads. Most hotel furniture is standard size, so take along two regulation slipcovers of striped or plain glazed sateen to blend or contrast with the bedspread and window treatment.

Take Radio Along

A small hooked or cotton chenille rug is luxurious to step on when mornings. are chilly—makes a nice spot of color on a painted floor or dull carpet. Your favorite prints in attractive frames, made to fit right into the bottom of the trunk, a silver cigaret box, a tin tray, your wedding present tea set, ashtrays, two vases, a radio, a pair of bookends; and a striped or checked chintz tea cloth and napkins will do much to change a cold, impersonal. room or flat into a real “home.”

The Question Box

Q—How.does one make paint stick to. new plaster walls? A—New plaster, being alkaline, does not afford a good foundation for paint. To neutralize the free lime in the plaster, treat the walls with a solution of three to four pounds of zinc sulphate to one gallon of water. This solution may be applied with a calcimine brush or a paint sprayer and should be allowed to dry thoroughly before applying the first coat (priming) of paint.

Q—How can I remove grease spots from wall paper? A—Apply a paste made from cornstarch and tetrachloride. When it has dried brush it off. Two or three applications may be necessary.

Fingermarks

To remove dirty or greasy fingermarks from your fine mahogany furniture, ‘wipe off with a soft cloth wrung until just damp in mild soapy water, dry’ with a. soft clean dry cloth, wiping in the direction of the grain of the wood. ’

|Give the Graduate A Piece of Jewelry,

There is perhaps no more pleasing gift for the young girl at graduation time than a well-chosen piece of jewelry—a brooch, necklace, clip or bracelet that she will want to keep always for remembrance. This season, appropriately, flower forms are much in fashion. Some of the very loveliest pieces are worked out entirely in amber, using contrasting shades for foliage and flowers. The natural depth and translucence of amber used in this striking manner produce pieces of unusual delicacy and beauty and a not too expensive cost.
