The Modern Bed Room
By Arthur O. ' Clauses.
,HEN planning a home few peo-
1 An !! seem to appreciate the f ct
yV I 1,1,1 ,h'y actually spend more
uim in mcir Dea cnamoer man
in anr other room In the
houM. More than one-third
ot human life la spent In this room. If
a man wae sentenced to spend twenty
years of hi life in one room, but given
the pHvllrgo of having It planned, de
. signed and furnished to auit hia own tast
he would be very Careful to have It conv
j Mete In every detail: (till, that la about
the length of time which a man or woman
I 0 yeara of age haa apent In the bed
I chamber.
Most people wilt give careful attention
. to the planning of a reception hall,
1 through which one pause quickly to the
living room and library. In which but
I few boura are spent each day, and to
j the dining room In which aeldom more
than two houra a day are spent, but
.when It cornea to the kitchen and bed-
'rootne, any arrangement which will fit
. In and make other . rooms satisfactory
1 eins to be acceptable.
' A bedroom on the first atory tskes up
considerable room, and la not necessary,
unless there la an invalid member In tbe
family. In which caae It la very neces-
' sery, aavlng an It does many ateps dur
ing the day, and also enabling the In-
valid to be with tho family more than If
secluded In another part of the house.
' When there la a bed chamber on the first
atory there should be a toilet room
1 directly connected with It.
, It Is very a common experience for an
architect to be Instructed to make the
guest room the btrnt and most complete.
While It la nice that the convenience and
' pleasure of future gueta should be an
ticipated In this way, it would seem as
though the wife and mother In the home
aji the atar gusM. should receive first
consideration In this respect. Mother's!

room is always the one In which the
youngest child sleeps for some years, and
when there la no separate sewing room
It becomes a work shop by dsy, in addi
tion to being a bed chamber by night.
It Is also often looked upon as a soft ot
sitting room and altogether, Is frequently
used more In esch twenty-four hours than
any other room.
There Is every reason, . therefore, why
It should be of large else. In the beat
corner of the house, command the best
view, where It will receive summer
breeaes In the summer and sunshine In
the winter.
Every bed room should contain at least
one large closet, and the owner'a room,
when space will permit, should contain
two closets. When there Is only one
closet to tha owner'a room tha wife In
variably hasMt ahd "hubby" has to get
along the best he can In the? lower bureau
drawer. When apace will : permit the
closet for tho wife and the closet off of
the daughter's room should be really a
small room. In which are cupboards,
wardrobes and drawers, tha - Utter In
many sues. ' with ohe chest of shallow
drawers each four feet long, in which to
lay garmenta full length, and not over
two garments In each drawer, this bolnj,
a far better way of storing clothes tha.
are not used every day than to l-.ang them
up where they aag out of shape and col
lect duat.
Such a room should always , have tin
outside window and Instead of belnc
called a closet is usually called a bou
doir or dressing room.
In large homes the boudoir Is frequently
made very beautiful, containing at leas;
one very large mirror and In addition ti.
many warbrodes a dressing table, wrltln?
desk, with telephone, so that "my lady"
can communicate with her servants oi
friends otit of hearing of all others, an
has a well equipped private bath roon
adjoining. A dressing room on such an
elaborate scale, however, Is a luxury nnu
not a necessity,
A fireplace In the bed chamber msnv
times takes up more wall apace than li
Is worth. It Is a good Ventilator at all
times, when tho damper Is left open, but
seldom used for heating purposes for the
reason lhat It Is rather Inconvenient to
carry fuel from the basement to the
second atory, and after having done so
once or twice It Is seldom Used for heat
ing purposes thereafter.
Comer bed rooms are always the mast
desirable, slneo light, view and air can
be obtnlned from two directions. In the
location of doors and windows extreme
care should be taken that wall spaces of
proper width are (eft for beds, bureaus,
dressing tables, etc., and that the doors
when swinging open will not strike any
pieces of furniture. A full length mirror
In the closet door Is alwaya greatly np
preciated by the women. Mirrors placed
In two door so located that thoy can be
swung open opposite to each other muke
an arrangement appreciated by the
women and the men, too, if you please,
since It la then possible, to seo how the
cfothes hang In the back without going
through the usual contortions.

ably be placed on the market In the near
future; the Weatland Realty company la
planning to plat the property lying
outh of Klinwood park and east of the
speedway In the spring.
"Acre property In this vicinity haa
proven easily salable. One addition, Elm-
wood Acres, placed on the market by the
llyron Reed company In June, 1911, was
entirely sold out In a little over two
months' time. .The same company an
tiounoe a new addition, Elmwood View,

will be sotd in acre and half-acre' lota.
JThe acre property In this district Is beilm
offered for aale by 'various dealers at
lower prices than city lota at Twenty,
fourth and Fort streets, which la rela
lively the same distance from town. '
"Property holdrs In this vicinity have
petitioned the street railway company for
an extension of tbe West Leavenworth
line south to Center street on any street
wet of Fifty-sixth. In all probability

for tbe extension, as It Is the present

orrerlng to remit half of the verdict the
Jury gave Warthen.
The suit was one of Cosrlec C. Burdge,
bad debt collector and' monay' lemlvr.
against .Warthen to compel payment, for
a . house. Warthen counterclatmed for
$700. Judge Pear Instmoted-the Jury that
If It found for Warthsn it must not fix
tbe amount ot hi recovery 'at more than

whlcb has become famous, as "Pancoast'a
Portia plea." It quoted tha character
Portia' ramsrks to ghylock In ' "The
Merchant of Venice," dwelling particu
larly on the "pound of fledh" passage. Ho
effective was the speech that the Jury
forgot all about the instruction limiting
Werthsn'B recovery and gave him a
verdict In excess of 1700. Pancoastand
Warthen now hope Judga Scars will rec

yon will be permitted to purchase at a saving of from twenty to
seventy-five per cent a pair of shoes. Every shoe In our stock will
be cut in price at least twenty per cent. Some prices will be cut 80
per cent. v i
Our Reasons For This Act:
We have been in the exclusive men'g shoe business in Omaha
for fourteen years; during that time we have accumulated odds and
endi, which we have not tried to sell on account of their not being
up to date in style. Every pair, as to workmanship and . quality
of material, is just as good as the factories are putting out today;
the only difference. is in the shape, and in most instances tiat dlN
ference is not so very noticeable. It will pay you to come in and look.
V1e will be pleased to have you call whether you purchase or not!
Twenty per cent of the cost of shoes Is a gret saving, and we as
sure no matter what you buy you will save at least that much; If you
are fortunate enough to have a fodt that will fit some of our shoes
we will sell you- a pair that the actual selling price has been, and is
today, regularly Five Dolars; for this Bale One Dollar. '
Sale Starts Promptly at 0 A. M. Tuesday, Jan. 2
The first here naturally will obtain the better selection.. This
is a shoe. sale. unusual; tor the reason that nowhere' else in Omaha
can tbe same shoe values be had. We are exclusive representatives
for the world's greatest and best shoe factories. Our reputation has
been built and firmly established by selling at all times at reasonable
prices, SHOK8 OF, QUALITY.
