M.mu Fumm Versus the Frot hâ€"Hold Out on the P'ractncal Pointsâ€"Give In on Colours. (By Elisabeth MacKae Boykin) It goes pretty had with parents to face the fact that children have their own ideas,. Somehow before there are any little darlings around the place, or before said lambs are big enough to exâ€" press theyitalves, .the idga .is, that you could plan~thus and so for childreaâ€" move them around like chess men. But it doesn‘t work out that way. And the sooner parents bow before the ineviâ€" table fact that schoolâ€"aze childrtn are going to want to have their sgy about the deoctrati:ng of their rooms, the happier l};e is going to be for everyâ€" body.

But where it doesn‘t make a big difference one way or the ctkerâ€"as it doesn‘t with decorationâ€" it‘s good experiene for the younger generation to have their say. So when you embark on the job of fixing up a schoolâ€"age room, take the child‘s ideas sericusly but hold out for the basic practicalities. Bcfore getting hot and bothered about the decorations, we‘d better emâ€" phasize the main thingâ€"that the chilâ€" dren have a rosom of their own. Pre.â€" ferably a room for each child but if that‘s not possible, then a room for two or three of them to feel possessive about and responsible for and where they can have a certain privacy and sense of retreat. We have friends who divâ€" ided ons medium bedroom into two small} ones just so their two chilâ€" dren could each have a room. Such a partition can be of inexpensive temâ€" porary construction. In planning that schoolâ€"age room, it‘s a good idea to cheek over the eso>nâ€" THE BEDâ€"This should have good springs and mattress for really comâ€" fortable rest. If you want the room to be furnished as a study where the child can entertain his friends, then a studio couch is a practical answer, Or why not just springs and mattress on a homeâ€"made base? Even when the room is to be frankly a bedroom and frankly frillyâ€"you may still use‘ the springs and mattress on a frame. Add a plyboard headboard, then paint, paper or upholster it; or even make a four poster frame, paint and drape it Now on. R :Qfl.wa“ all Toâ€" oâ€"day Your ~money will go further _ at Hallidays.

Many children have to do their lessons any old place when they might as well be learning to keep a proper desk at the same time. Besides, everybody knows how much more â€"a psrson can accomplish when it isn‘t recessary to pick put away every time a turn of work is finished. A fiat top model with drawer space at the sides and book shelves in the back or ends is a good choice, or a secretary is grand. Or else a broad topped tresâ€" tle table with wall shelves above will do nicely. have‘ something that the most finicky young lady would like. with a pretty cotton and. there you‘d fulress goes without saying, for you can‘t expect a child to develop habits of order if thire‘s no good place to keep his things. So provide plenty of drawer spaceâ€"this could be combined with the desk lprovision if you decide on sezsretary type of desk. A good big mirâ€" ror is another necessaryâ€"not only for convenizsnce but to encourage neatness. After all there‘s othing like a good view in a big looking z2lass to take body gown a peg. SEPATING FACILITIES â€" At the least you‘ll want to one good. straight chair for desk study and an easy chair for reading and plain com. fort. At mostâ€"if the room is to be used as a young sitting room, then have the bed double as a couch, adding lots of cushions at the back and have n extra plain bench against one wall or else a repertoire of hassocks. â€" SFECIALIZISD STORAGE â€" for books, athletie equipment and so on calls for adequate shelf space, and if for some specially designed a mm A a 4 a o # _ 3ood Mgnâ€"andmeearuertheyleam totreatmodfumimrewlthrespect.the better.
