Looks like it ought to be required of every girl in school to take a compreâ€" hensive course in home organizing and managing. Then a bride with a budget woulln‘s find herself so lost in the maze of prices, styles, proportion. She knows where to skimp and where to splurgs, now to make the budget inâ€" clude the necessities with enough left over for cherished little extras.

Today we present a furnishing plan for a livingâ€"dining ,room that will cost from $300 to $500, complete, depeniding on whether you can afford the exras or not. The basic pieces are the English styles most people like bestâ€"they are of reasonable quality and irclude the things necessary to start housekeeping with a comfortable completeness.

In this case, the backgrounds were bold . . . three walls papered in a stunning white flower design on a powdery roseâ€"red ground with green leaves for accent, and the fourth wall painted in the plain powdery roseâ€"red.
