THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 17, 1920.
The Winter
Bedroom
What ii so uncomfortable as to
try to aleep in a bed provided with
insufficient bed clothing. Betidea
the aheeta used on the lummcr time
bed, each beJ,requires a pair of blan
kets, preferably of all wool These
re light in weight, but .very warm.
Xhey are more expensive than the
blankets having part cotton, but
Bore economical.
The inexperienced will, in all
cases, do well to patronize the rep
utable shops when shopping for
blankets. The day when the house
wife made comfortables is gone. The
highest-priced ones are stuffed with
down or lamb's wool. If these are
used on children's beds the thrifty
housewife often devises a washable
cover of cheesecloth or any fight
weight material to be slipped over
the comfortable and held in place
with tapes op buttons.
Then there are. other things, that
go toward making the winter bed
, room more attractive. A fresh coat
t ' . 1 . i
m paim or varnisn on wans or inm
or dainty new curtains all help.
No matter what the lighting sys
tem of the home, there should he a
candle and candlestick as well as
matches in every bedroom. The
best of lighting systems become
ranged and this always at a -most
inconvenient or inopportune time.
There are sets being shown which
include a tray, water pitcher and
mug as well-as a candlestick and
match holder.
In the case of the bedroom, as in
many other cases, attention to small
detail is of much import I have
heard traveling folks recommend
one hotel rather than another sim
ply because "it. has the most , com-
sortaoie rocxing cnairs ana weii'
cl.ced litrhts."
Some housewives have a habit of
relegating the most uncomfortable
chairs to the bedroom and continu
ing to have the solitary lighting fix-
tnreun the middle ot the room, ant
in your endeavor to make winter's
hedroom more comfortable look up
a comfy rocker and manipulate your
light with cord or tubing until it
really- gives service near the mirror
e near the bed or chair, where one
may read. (
- If you have not been sleeping, on
lis outdoor porch all summer you
had better begin now if you are go
fyg in for outdoor slumber.1 It is
qsnte universally agreed that outdoor
sleeping is desirable. And it is espe
cially so where there is any predispo
sition to lung trouble. It is never
Well to begin sleeping out right in
tjte middle of winter, but rather
work toward the colder days grad
ually. The sleeping porch -may be
glassed in and dainty curtains ad
justed to "the windows. ' The win
dows may be so arranged that they
swing easily, admitting lots of air,
but no draughts.
f A4ieavy garment designed to well
cover the body and. preferably of
wool it needed' for the outdoor
sleeper. Foot warmers are also de
sirable in the porch sleeping outfit
&'But whatever arrangement you
have, now is the time to put it in
first-class condition for Winter.

The Life pf Your Garments
A good deal depends on how you
keep your clothes as to whether their
life is long or short. Everybody who
has observed the life of two different
fifceks, one of which was carefully
uied and the other of which was
carelessly used, knows this.
It doesn't follow that you must
not wear your clothes, or that you
must wear them carefully. When
one sees a woman too careful of the
clothes she has on, one is reminded
of the little girl all of us knew who
was eternally flouncing her sash out
of harm's way when she sat down,
and vigilantly, if surreptitiously, rub
bing her shoes on her stockings to
remove the dust. , Too great care
in the wearing of clothes is an un
attractive habit Far better to wear
a cotton frock and wear it easily
than to wear one of satin with too
L great care. ....
As for the care you fane ot me
clothes once they are off your, -back
that is another thing.
For one thing, air everything that
does not go to the tub. Place blouses
and frocks, coats and skirts on suit
able hangers, and air them at least
once a week, if possible out of doors,
on a porch, or else in an open win-
Have plenty of hangers. v Never
hang anything up carelessly. You
can save tailor'l bills by observing
mis nini.
Have your clothes cleaned when
they need it, either by yourself, by
your maid, by a tailor, or by a dry
cleaner.
For 22 years Miss Martha E.
Smith has been in sole charge of

What's What
By HELEN DECIE
The spoiled child was in evidence
before Solomon's time, and, no
doubt the type will remain with the
race until'Doomsday. The nursery
tyrant is always on his worst be
havior when guests are present. In
the illustration, an enfant-terrible is
kicking the hapless visitor, upon
whom, for business reasons, both
host and hostess are anxious to
make a favorable impression. The
embarassed mother is utterly -incapable
of controlling the infantile fury;
the spoiled child has ruined the all
important visit.
Overindulgent parents are contin
ually rewarded by these exhibitions
of youthful savagery. Discipline
sTiould rule the child from his first
consciousness of adult authority. He
aHsha-uld be taught to lisp polite greet
r lugs, to answer , civilly when spoken
to, and to govern his temper at all
times. Then, and then only, will he
be likely to "behave in company."

Read Her Letter -
Dear Dr. Crook? V
I have been wearing the new ptei you made for me about ten day now, and 1
feel I ought to tell you how comfortable and satisfactory they are. My friends tell
me I look fifteen years younger,
I don't mind telling you now that n took me over a week to make up my mind
to come to you and have my teeth out, as I have always mffeted agonies in a dentist's
chair. I It was my sister, who made roe ( come after the had bet
work done by.you. Doctor, I can truthfully say that you extracted my teeth without -the
slightest pain whatever. My only regret Is that I did not come to you five years
sooner and saved myself five years of trouWe.
