\VILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1924 1 SAYS KITCHEN CAN BE INVITING PLACE Symbol of Youth ·and Adds Beauty Jo Home aod · Enviton......, PRACTICAL, SENSIBLE ~lost housewives spend .&everal hours a day in the kitchen and most Of bese housewives ioatrivc- to make this a pleasant and agreeable room and are not content to let it remain with its dark woodwork and piecemeal furnitur · But there are some kitchens that toda y are furnished with a rusty relic of a stO \'e that ha s to be blackened often to be kept presentable, a couple of discarded dining room chairs, and a wobd table, the surface of which is not painted and with many scrubbings still gives the appearance of dinginess. It seems a pity when there are so many inexpensive possibilitie in the kitchen. It can be as attractive in its way as any other room in the hou se. Painted furniture in white or various colors is certainly not less prac- tical than the ordinary kind and it. i · rasie r to take care of. A table w1th an enameled or por<:elain top. is a I oon to the hou sew1fe-a sw1sh of the dishcloth and it is clean. The unsightly stove can be replaced by a smaller ranf"f" that is m-.rle up mostly of porcelain in white, gray, or ulue. A k itchen that is furnished tastily can readily be used as a breakfast room and the phrase, "We'll just eat a bite in the kitchen." will mean a'n informal little meal in a cozy place that is not . at all a hardship.

Jack- Paint Transforms Home Into Thing of Beauty By JOHN C. FRAZEE A "house" may be dingy and empty of love. A home is always heautiful, because its occupants make it so. Paint is the symbol of youth and beauty. Of youth, hecause things which are well painted cannot grow old. Of beauty. both because youth is beautiful and because nature expresses beauty in color. Paint is one of the visible signs of an invisible spirit which trans forms a house into a home. Pail'lt is the symbol of youth. Satfaces which arc well protected by paint are J!Uarded from wear and weather. When we walk upon well 'varnished floors. our shoes do not touch the floor. The varnish is slowly worn, but the floor remains ever new. If the outside of the house is well painted, the house itself is not touched by rain or snow, nor by the withering C!lfects of heat or cold. Fruit is tightly sealed in cans and jars to keep it fresh . If exposed to the air, fruit will decay and become valueless. Paint is the pr~servative of property. It se'r ves' as a shield which stands between your .property and wear and decay. Sen.ible and Economical It is more sensible and economical to preserve what we have than to repl~ it because of our failure to car-e f?r it. Paint and varnish, applied in ttme, make unnecessary, costly repairs and rep~cements. Paint · is the IYmbol ,of beaut,. Neatness in itself appeals to our sense of beauty, and things which are well painted are neat. Mars and scars are ~ot beautiful, but it is not necessary 'hat our properties should he marred or. scarred. if wt: keep them well Jll\_tnt~. But while preserving our property from wear and weather, we may also beautify it with colors. The living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the bedroom and the rest of the house may be tinted in delicate shadrs which harmonize with the personalities of the occupants. The exterior may be painted in harmony with the environment of the house-a consideration which is worthy of much more thought than usually given to it. Whether a home is neat and fresh and cheerful, or dingy and aged and depressing is a matter for the occupant to decide. If the latter, it is not truly a home. It is merely a hou se, in which people live as if they were only transient. We are happier when we keep the hqme well painted. A beautiful environment makes for happiness. A nelect of duty, and it is a duty to preserve property from depreciation, causes unhappiness. The home is a sanctuary to which we come when weary and oppressed. It is the center around which our l ives revolve. Let us keep. it well painted.

Why is it that the modern home J1as wetl-chosen pictures in its living room, dining room, bedrooms and llalls, and has entirely neglected perhap , the most important room of all? \'he housewife of today is "sold" in the practical, decorative uses of pictures as well as tlleir artistic and mentally stimulating aspects. Where are these two virtues more necessary than in the kitchen? It is too true that the kitchens of <:ity homes have the le; st attractive outlook in the house. They may be bright, cheerful places enough, but they look out upon a dreary court, upon clothes-lines. or some equally unattractive exterior. If we cannot have a real garden to see as we wash the dishes. surely it is entirely within the possibilities to have a fine picture of one. Or perhaps some laughing cavalier to look down upon our culinary efforts with sympathetic understanding I Then there are some fine Dutch interiors-immaculate kitchens and intimate home scenes that bring emphasis to the dignity of the housewife's profession. And there are pictures of the sea---<ool, re tful thing ' to soothe the ruffled brow. n-, not feel that pictures belong only in the show rooms of the home. Wherever the housewife pends much time there can pictures exert their most helpful inftuence. .There t~ey can minister to the 'Yorrted, weaned spirit and bring the stlnt';llus !'-"~ contentment that it is the1r m1ss1on to Lloyd Hollister, Inc.
