"If your apartment is dark and cramped, one may get the feeling of space and light by using pale yellow on the walls and by avoid ing use of large flower designs m me draperies ana turniture coverings." Slip covers and drapes of stripes, checks, and plaids are best in this case, but Mrs. Alexander points out thtit too much pattern of any kind tends to cramp the atmosphere. She added that it is well to remember that the more simple the furnishings the more expensive they appear. Food Too! If cooking is done in one end of the apartment, Mrs. Alexander suggests that drapes or screens should cover this end while it is not in use. She points out, though, that the drapes should be the same color as the walls, and that the screen should be painted with paint identical to the walls. Bare floors are more attractive than those covered by numerous scatter rugs, she says. Large rugs are very expensive but a cheaper version may be made by sewing together four bathroom-size shag gy rugs. The books which clutter many student apartments may be placed in attractively painted orange crates that will also serve as end tables. Mrs. Alexander, suggests that any piece of furniture that can be made to' do double duty should be used. If trunks must be kept in the room, they can be padded, slip covered and used for window-seats.
