Page 8 THE STRATFORD MIRROR : Friday, May 4, 1945. -- The Most For Your Money In Furnishing A Home For example, dye heavy muslin or other unbleached cloth in brilliant colors, such as vivid reds, deep sea blues, deep. yellows, rich rusts for slip covers, curtains, and pillows for a winter sun porch or for sturdy bed- spreads and furnishings for a boy's room. Inexpensive washable ruffled curtains will wear for a year or two, or cheesecloth may be dyed in soft colors to serve as temporary glass curtains until the budget permits a permanent window treatment. A studio couch is a good standby for the small apartment or home. It is compact, comfortable to sleep on, and can find a useful place in a grow- ing household. Closet equipment, shoe _ cabinets, storage chests to take care of clothing can be made at home so the purchase of chests of drawers may be delayed until funds permit. The storage chest will serve as an extra bedroom chair too, and later may be retired to the storeroom. Plain bookshelves, paint- ed to match the woodwork, can easily be made to fit any convenient space in the room. These will take care of books and magazines at least until you are ready to buy bookcases in your long-time plan. Wedding presents or gifts on many charming accessories. A keen- eyed shopper in the ten-cent store will find surprisingly effective lamp shades, colorful glass, and pottery which will be 'in tune" with the color and line of more expensive furnish- ings. But do not be afraid of plain spaces until you can find just the right thing. Growing plants help to fill a sparse- ly furnished room and make it seem more liveable. Other clever expedients will occur to you as plans progress, making it possible to get along Comfortably un- til you can buy furnishings which will be a permanent investment.--Cour- tesy Household Finance Corporation.
