A child whose bedroom is design ed to take care of his hobbies as well as his sleeping will enjoy his room more and win not have to be told constantly to busy himself with something. If the parents show an interest in the child’s havjng hobbies, the youngster will start thinking in those terms and foster interests in things which will give him much joy throughout his life time. Rooms should not only contain those essentials of living such as a desk, bed and chair, but they should be the embodiment of hobbies. In terests and tastes—a picture of what the person is who lives in it When furnished like this, rooms require little more thought in the planning, but their dividends are greater than the effort to make them so. A room that invites it’s occupant to make model planes or boats, dolls or houses, painting or clay modeling is a happy room de signed for creative effort. Let the youngster help in decid ing what he wants, and if old enough, let him help decorate it. A room that has a lot of work and thought put in it brings its people close to terms of real living and staves off boredom. Yes, but you have no idea what children would bring into their rooms, if I let them, I can hear some mothers saying. Well, young sters do develop passing fancies in all sorts of strange things and in this case they might need guidance. The little fellows who carry birds and insects in their pockets and want to bring them into their rooms might be directed toward an inter est in biology.

Perhaps he would like to keep a bulletin board of those which he has seen outside, or make a scrapbook of them.

The drapes and one or two chair covers may be of a durable striped ma.terial harmonizing with the back ground colors of the walls. If your boys are interested in painting and are apt to be a bit careless with paints, the best thing to do for drapes and covers is to Be Smart! Have your dainty dress pumps and your anklet slippers, too, in one and the same pair. It’s easy when the anklets even unto the third strap, are removed as quick ly as a bracelet from the wrist. The trick is in making the high cut style the basis of a secure an chor for these straps, yet looking just like another fashion whimsey of the moment when the slippers are worn ao stripped pumps. School Dress Here’s a striped cotton dress good for school wear, with pretty tucking and spanking crisp collar and cuffs. The stripes are in grad- uated widths in petal gray and a pastel combination. The rows of tacking accent the pretty skirt fulness. Made of Avondale’s san forized, mercerized cotton with collar and caffs of birdseye pic- qne, the dress is one of the cos tumes from an all-cotton ward robe mqde from patterns. use heavy oilcloth. If you cut the drapes with pinking shears, no other finishing is necessary. These wipe off easily and are no task to keep clean. To avoid clutter when youngsters have collections of toys, whistles and whatnot, have shelves built in the room, and encourage them to place their objects on the shelves in an attractive pattern. If they have lots of assorted things, the best ans wer to this is a chest with plenty of drawer space; or a closet with built in drawers will serve the purpose nicely. When boys are old enough and in terested in making furniture, or re finishing it, they can easily work on the furniture in their own room. You’d be surprised at how much more pride they will take in keeping things neat if they’ve created part of the furnishings themselves. For boys who need reminders, for mail, for assorted pictures and things of that -nature, a bulletin board above the desk is invaluable for keeping the room tidy. For two or four boys in one room, use double-decker beds to save space. The coverings should be sturdy as the youngsters will lounge on them. Girl’s Room May be Tailored or Feminine The girl who’s feminine will want a bed and dressing table covered in filmy, ruffled material. Most moth ers would like to dissuade their daughters from such thoughts be cause of laundering problems, but if they remain unconvinced, the only answer to this is the enlisting of their aid when it comes to iron ing. Actually, though, if you show the girl pictures of rooms which are at tractive, but without the frills, you may be able to get her to change her mind. The girl who is tailored, who likes things neat and trim, will probably prefer a studio couch for a bed since it can take a more tailored cover. If a cool background color such as gray or blue is chosen, it’s best to warm the room with tangerine or red or warm yellow colors for the couch or bed and for the chair coverings. The in-between room, which is a combination of both tailored and feminine is fun to live with. The studio couch may still be used, but the drapes and perhaps a chair cov er will be in a gay floral pattern or bright print. This does away with lace and ruffles but is easy to keep trim and tidy without sacrificing anything of its girlish good looks. Provide Drawer Space To Preserve Neatness Low cabinets with shelves may be lined against the walls of the room if the closet is small. This can be an inexpensive project if unfinished furniture is made or bought and painted with flat or enamel paint depending upon the room. Unless you provide sufficient place in which clothing, shoes and other things can be placed, the room will be a cleaning problem, and will never look neat. Bookcases can be built on the wall so there need be no reason for them to clutter the room. If you lack the space for a regu lar desk, have one made with sturdy hinges that attaches to the wall, so that it can be let up and down as used. Have a proper chair and good light near it. ,SHonT5?0tt' When the Blind See By LOUIS CUNNINGHAM **T MUST go to him myself, Par- rish. I have so looked forward to surprising him.’’ Mrs. Gerald Ivering, home from six months in Europe, had reached New York a day earlier than she had cabled her husband. Her maid held the young wife by the arm as they went up the steps. In the hall Kit ty whispered, “Go up and unpack, Parrish. I can find my way very well . . . just as if . . Parrish smiled fondly at her mis tress ... a face sweetly calmed by years of darkness and patient suffering. "Blindness made you no less lovely, madam;’ said Parrish. "And you could see nothing finer than yourself." Parrish watched her feeling the wall to her husband's study. Gerald Ivering moved hastily away from the woman who sat be side him. He put his finger to her lips, then touched his eyes to call to mind that she who stood in the door could not see them. Kitty! You wired you’d be on Wednesday’s plane. And there was no one there to meet you.’’ “I wanted to walk in on you like this when you were all alone and thinking of me,” she cried. T HE woman moved noiselessly and stood by the mantle. Kitty took the place. she had left. Ger ald, an uneasy frown on his face, sat beside her. It is late,” s^i the blind girl. “I knew I would find you alone. Have you been very lonesome for me, Gerald? What did you do while I was away?” “It has not been easy without you,” he said. "You never cared for anyone but me, Gerald, did you?” persisted Kitty. "There was no other woman?” But there was, Kitty ... a year before you came. I thought I loved her and she pretended to care for me. I was just a young lawyer then. I had nothing to offer and she married a wealthy man.” “You ceased to love her then, of course. Did you never see her again?” “Yes. I saw her . . . recently.” “Tell me. What is she like? Is she prettier than I? . . . Tall, per haps, with blaCk hair and eyes and very red lips and a soulless face . . . a sort of woman whom it is death for a man to love?X The woman moved angrily. A different crimson from that which decked her cheeks flooded her fore head. Gerald gazed in wonder. He smiled cynically. “She is all you describe. Even as you guess . . . for I know you never saw her . . . she is soulless. She was untrue to my love and she is now untrue to SPEAKS ’ j ; ' flll| internat.onal Unilorm"" LSUiiiH Sunday School Leapn. pllj M ph imm l mtnki 1 SCRIPTURE: Mark 1:14-15, 21-45; Luke 4:16-30. DEVOTIONAL READING: Luke 4:40 —5:3. leachingReligion Lesson for February 6, 1949 S OME PEOPLE, strange to say, don’t believe in Sunday schools. Most North American Protestants do, because Jesus aid. The word may not be found in the New Testa ment, but the thing is there. If Jesus did not believe that religion could be taught, then he was guilty of wasting much of his time, for he worked at teaching in season and out of season. Dr. Foreman He was a product of the Sunday School, in a sense. During his childhood he would go to the synagogue school weekdays and especially on Sabbaths; we know that by the tjme he was grown it was his “custom” to at tend synagogue service. And in every Jewish com munity the synagogue was the place where for two hundred years and more, children and youth and older people had been taught the Word of God. If Christians today are faithful to Christ’s example, we also will keep at the job of teaching our religion to every child within our reach. • • • Body and Soul R EADERS of the gospels will note that when Jesus went home from the synagogue on the Sabbath, his day’s work was not done. He would spend hours, sometimes till far into the night, healing people brought to him for cure. Jesus min istered to mind and soul. Jesus was interested in personalities, whole people, not half-people. Our minds have to be fed, but we live in bodies, and bodies have no little to do with personalities. Jesus was not content with teaching sick peo ple; he made sick people well. So the church today, if it is faithful to Christ’s principles, will consider people as complete personalities. * * * The Common People W E FIND that Jesus did not in sist on university audiences. Indeed, he never spoke to a univer sity audience. His teaching was always in the midst of groups of very plain people. There were great universities in these days, but it was not necessary for any one to be a graduate of one of them in order to enter Jesus’ school, or to understand what he taught. He taught the plain people plainly. Her Ups went to his. the man who calls her wile. She is a temptress . . . even to one who is strong in an honest love. She came to me again and tried to win me back. But what she offers is dis honorable. I told her to go. You were my f»otection. I never want to see her again.” T HE woman looked at him with hatred. Then she picked up her wrap by the door and vanished. The girl’s fingers caressed her husband’s face and her lips went to his. Suddenly she pointed to his shoulder. “See, Gerald, there is a hair on your coat. Wait, I will get it.” He stared in wonderment. In aU our teaching we try to use the pnpil’s language and to pnt onr Christian ideas in the thonghts that the pupils can un derstand. At the best seminaries, young ministers-to-be are carefully taught how to put the great Christian doc trines in ways that the simplest peo ple can understand. Teaching over people’s heads is not teaching them at all. • • « God and Education ESUS did not try to teach people carpentry, or arithmetic, or ge ography. No doubt he could have done so. But he had something more important on his mind, some thing which he alone could teach. He taught religion, or in other words he taught the truth about God, and about man, and about right relations between God and man. So the teaching church, whether in the Sunday school or in the books written by its scholars or in its schools and colleges, when it follows Christ’s example, is always teaching religion first and foremost. We do not believe that religion is a secondary issue, something you can “take or leave.” * • • Religion on Two Feet ESUS did more than talk. He lived. His whole life and charac ter were saying more loudly and plainly what his words said. So the Christian church to day, when it is faithful to Christ, must translate into actual living the faith she teaches in Sunday school lessons, in catechisms and books and sermons. "Kit, Kit! What is this? Am l dreaming? You .. . you can see!" “I went to a specialist in Vienna two months ago and have some of my sight back. That was why I came in surprise. And oh, I am glad that the first thing I saw about you is the honesty of your love. I had been without the use of my eyes too long to trust the value of what they first showed me . . . that woman with her arm about your neck. I knew if I were blind I would be happier, so I kept up the pre tence and in blindness I saw what in light I might have missed.” Released by WNU Features. What we do, as Christians, speaks louder than what we say. Every Sunday school teacher needs to re member that what is said on Sun day is important, but what the teacher does on Monday is more impressive by far. The reason why Jesus was more effective than John the Baptist was that John, after all, was a Voice, while Jesus was a Friend. Are you who teach other* about God simply a Voice? A pho nograph could do as well. (Copyright by the International Coun cil of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Features.)
