N The I -Room
Apartment
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
With tlie advent of the ever higher
.ost of starting a home many young
folks are considering the one-room
apartment. And many landlords are
rediviiling their apartments to ac
commodate this Litest solution to the
housing problem.
It has heen my good fortune to
help a business girl furnish her first
home. It was not the typical "little
gray home" with which the west is
supposed to be plentifully sprinkled,
but a modern one-robni apartment.
She and her husband-to-be were to
go to business every day and so
everything had to be planned to en
tail a minimum of housework. But
the apartment house had been ex
pressly built to accommodate just
such couples and it was with a real
sense of delight that we began the
task.
The room was a large square one.
There were two deep closets, one
for clothing, the oiticr was the kitch
enette, done in white, but not dif
ficult to keep cle.in, for the surfaces
were of washable namel. The small
range was an electric one. The elec
tric light flooded this windowless
closet. Everything necessary to the
making of a simple meal was close
at hand.
The bathroom had a built-in dress
er, with a generous mirror, a glass
covered table top ajid a chest of
roomy drawers. Tljere was also a
double set of shallow drawers on
either side of the mirror for the
smaller articles cf the toilet. The
bathroom was entirely done in white
and the towels ond rugs we pur
chased were of white, with a Greek
fret design m sea-green.
But the furnishing of the large
room was the real delight. It was
necessary, in order to improve the
effect, to "break" the square effect.
To accomplish this several small
rugs were used on the parquette
floor instead of one large one. The
room, in order to accommodate the
various col6r schemes of the various
tenants, was entirely panelled in
wood finished in a creamy white
dull enamel. There was a plate
shelf upon which we used colorful
bits of china. For instance, we had
a plate in brilliant red. There were
among the other things a conglom
erate colored vase, a Chinese yellow
incense burner and still there was
rom for the things that were to be
there in the years to come.
Single beds, to be folded into
mahogany tables in the day time,
were among the furnishings. These
were not grouped I together, but
were placed near comfy chairs and
did service not only as library
tables, but when pushed together
provided a company dining table.
There was a fyige stuffed daven
port with a predominating rose tone
in the tapestry. tyw tabourettes,
two or three of them, held potted
flowers or the smokers' comforts.
But the lamps were the furnish
incs unoiV which we used much time
and thought. There were lamps to
represent candles at the side of the
walls. These were covered with
frosted glass covers. But When
lighted against the white wood
panels of the walls they looked cold
and insipid. And so fftades of a deep
orange silk were substituted. These
gave a charming effect of them
selves and added just the required
bit of color to the walls. But, of
course, these were rot always to be
lighted. And ' in a Japanese art
shop we found just the floor lamp
we were looking for.
The standard of this floor lamp
was of antique gold. There was a
vivid red- silk shade with deep
fringe to match. There were long
silken tassels encircled with fine
cords of gold by which to switch
on the welcome glow. This was
selected' with the vivid red shades
because in this part of the country
there ( is a rather disagreeable rainy
season when the less optimistic
citizens need some of these me
chanical aids to cheer.
There are decided possibilities in
these one-room aaartments for those
planning a first home. .
Bathroom Hints.
All cloths arfd utensils used in
cleaning the bathroom should be
scalded and dried, preferably in the
open, -air.
The crust of lime which Is some
times deposited by hard water can
be removed from porcelain-lined fix
tures with hydrochloric acid This
acid is' very poisonous and is also
injurious to the skin and to many
materials, including the metals used
in plumbing. It must, therefore, be
handled wih extreme care. Gloves
should be worn when using it.
To clean the bowl of a closet, bail
out as much water as possoble, pour
in about a pint of commercial hydro
chloric acid (sometimes called mu
riatic acid) and let this stand for
several hours, or, until the crust
crumbles when poked with a stick.
Then flush with a large quantity
of water. The water in the tank
is not enough; more must he poured
in by hand in order to dilute the
acid and carry it away rapidly.
In a porcelain-lined sink or bath-
tub the acid must not be allowed
to stand on the soiled earthenware,
because it may get through to the
metal. underneath and eat that away.
It must, therefore, be applied drop1
by drop to the lime and flush out
with plenty- of water as soon as fhe
crust begins to rrumble when
pressed. -

with the governor' clinical medal, is

prize in the 100 years of history of
the Charing Cross Medical school in
London.
To take a census in Kamerun is
considered easy, for each man dec

senting his wives and children and a

Use Cheese ,
Like milk, cheese is an inexpensive
food, no matter what the price.
It is safe to speculate that cheese
owed its origin to some accidental
souring and ripening of -sour milk
curd, for long before refrigeration
was known cheese was the form in
which milk was preserved for future
use.
Today the coagulating agent that
produces the curd is rennet, and the
ripening, the process that gives the
characteristic flavor to each variety,
is due to the action of ditferent kinds
of bacteria.
This results in a very -wide variety
of cheese, from the cream cheese
that requires only a few hours in
the horn: preparing to the French
cheeses exposed to the mold of
moths in damp caves.
NMl gool cheeses are, pure, health
f -1 foods, the hieh flavors being due
to natural rioenine processes.
Cheese has an important mission J
in the dietary; served as an accom
paniment it adds some food value,
flavor and distinction; it materially
increases the food value of a dish.
Which Costs More?
"I am quite sure that it costs more
when one doesn't keep house," says
the woman'.who lives in a boarding
house or hotel. "If we could only
go back t9 housekeeping I am con
vinced tnat we wouia not nave sucn
heavy expenses." v
And the woman with a house of
her own is just as sure the really ex
pensive way to Jive is. to run a house
of your own. "But boarding is so
expensive," says the first woman.
"You have no idea." And the other
one adds, "Yes, but if you haven't
been keeping house yu cannot
dream how things cost."
.Doubtless both modes of living
are expensive. If one entertains,
likes company and guests galore,

Poing Without a
Maid In Your
Household
Have you ever noticed that some
times the woman who is now get
ting along without a maid or do
mestic help of any sort is losing her
knack of sitting down in her own
living rooms or drawing room and
enjoying her own home?
And one of the worst develop
ments of the mailess system is a
sort of restless -spirit. There is no
more leisurely lingering about the
dining room tabic over after dinner
coffee while the maids in the kitchen
are finishing the dishes.'' Now some
one makes a motion to rise as soon
as the coffee is swallowed. Dishes
have to be wa.sh.ed and what fun is
lingering over. coffee when one must
do dishes?
Undoubtedly there is a certain sat
isfaction in sitting leSsurely in your
own living rooms when you may
look at the carefully polished floors
F.nd the well cleaned rugs without
the association of the hours of work
on your part that were needed to
prtfduce that result. You enjoy the
glow of the open fire more when
you are not persistently thinking
that the more wood that is burned
the more will have to be lugged up-
rairs and the more the ashes gather
the more you will have to carry
downstairs. '
You would rather be off to the
movies, seated in a straight, uncom
fortable chair while your mind is
carried away from associations of
work and where you may watch to
your heart s content the winsome
heroine who somehowAever seems
to have to disturb herself over house
hold matters or problems of ser
vants. Perhaps if you- were as good an
actress as the real woman in the
films you would be able to get the
comfort you are losing out of your
own home; You would be able to
play two roles. You would be able
to be the hard working housewife
by day and in idle hours the care
tree woman ot leisure ot your
areams.
has a habit of asking friends for
luncheon and tea and is given to
little dinner parties, then undoubted
ly there is economy on the side of
keeping house, for anything ap-
proacning the sort ot hospitality that
one can offer even in a simple home
is amazingly expensive at hotels or
tea rooms.
With children, too, the greater
cost all goes in the balance of board
ing, for the family of two adults and
two children keeping house could
hardly double the expenses of the
same family with no children.
