A REMUNERATIVE HOBBY
Mrs. Frances Graves of Frank-
lin Street, Shavertown, has de-
veloped a profitable hobby. In-
spired by the art work of her
mother-in-law, Mrs. C. D.
Graves, whose hand-painted
ivy bowls and pottery need no
introduction to Back Moun-
tain folks, Frances has gone
into painting children’s clothes
racks. These are so attractive
that they have been snatched
up by Wilkes-Barre department
stores where they sell at pop-
ular prices. All this is done in
addition to taking care of two
small daughters and a husband.

HOW TO BE YOUR
OWN DECORATOR
March Furniture Displays Often A Treasure House
March is a nice month of the year to me — It's what I call an
anticipation month, There are the great furniture sales where you can
find so many good pieces you really do need; the seed catalogues all
. come, and you can begin to think about the flowers
for the summer; if you are on a farm, spring activity
is planned, the chickens lay more eggs, and perhaps
best of all, warm sunny days come along to cheer you,
and the snow drops come up.
But as decorating is the subject in hand, let’s
discuss this question of furniture sales. If you were
to go behind the scenes you would find that from
November, plans had been made, new good furniture
had been bought, and some fine pieces in stock, per-
haps one of a kind, were given a new, lower price tag.
The decorating shop which so many of the larger
stores have today, has been preparing in the same
way, assembling furniture, lamps, rugs, draperies and
pictures, in harmonious grouping whi¢h can be the
greatest help to you, either in new furnishing or in
freshening up.
Even if you don’t intend to buy, its very worthwhile to visit your
good shops this month to keep abreast of the times in furniture and
decorating trends. You may find there is something quite worthwhile
for you, which
hadn’t occurred
to you, and you'll
surely find in the
exhibitionrooms,
andinthetrained
decorator who is
usually in
charge, any help:
you may need in
determining
what - to - put -
with - what, new
arrangements,
and new color
schemes. Yes and
new color
schemes and ar-
rangements for
lovely old furni-
ture such as
Early American,
or 18th Century,

Early American Feeling is Carried
Out in Furniture, Rug, and Drapes
or what have you.
Just for a minute let’s consider the value of carrying out a period
feeling completely, whether it’s Modern or whether it’s Early American
maple, in a pine panelled room. As I have often said, creating an atmos-
vhere in a room is like making a cake. If you want a chocolate cake,
gou put chocolate in it. If you want a cocoanut cake, you put cocoanut
‘n it. You would be surprised at the women who want an Early American
coom, and only put half enough “Early American” in it. Perhaps they
buy or use the furniture and stop there. They are disappointed. Of course.
The room needs the icing, the Early American background, rugs, chintz,
ornaments. .
Dining rooms are often neglected so let’s visualize one. The sam
principles would be true in living room or bedroom. Knotty pine panelling
is first choice for all or part of the background or wall of room. Next
a wall paper or plain straw colored paint. Rug within twelve to eighteen
inches from wall in Early American pattern, and curtains in a quaint
pattern. Here is where your shop will help you. If you are not familiar
with patterns of a given period, ask to see them, and you'll easily find
what you want.
Pads for the rush seats of maple chairs made of the materials of the
curtains or a harmonizing material, in a pattern or solid color. give a,
lot of atmosphere as well as comfort, as well as Toby jugs and brass
caudlesticks on the mantel, a coaching print in a maple frame over it,
and old china and pewter on the shelves of the open dresser. ~
