Every Room Needs a Spot
Where Home Manager
Can Rest Occasionally
laving, mese days, is a complicated
business. Most of us, we are all will
ing to admit at every opportunity,
work too long and too hard. On top
of that, most of us play too hard. To
Keep frayed nerves from going to
pieces and to restore dispositions to
something like normal, it’s necessary
to really relax when there’s a chance.
The principal time for relaxation is,
of course, during the night hours ’
and reams have been written about
the need for comfortable bedding, es
pecially good springs and mattresses,
that will help restore the maximum
amount of energy during the hours of
repose. But there are odd moments,
off and on during the whole day,
when the housewife, if not her hus
band, can indulge “that tired feeling”
provided her home is properly fur
nished.
The “furnishings for, lazy people”
and we all should be lazy oc
casionally are mostly little things,
but people get along without them for
years, forgetting how handy they are
in relieving the strain of living every
day lives. They’re energy-conservers
far more necessary than of the
knick-knacks to be found in almost
every home.

That s where a chaise longue is a
great addition to the bedroom furnish
ings, when there’s room for one It’s
always on the job, ready for those in
between moments. Incidentally a
good looking chaise helps make ’my
bedroom distinctive.
Another point you shouldn’t miss
when checking up is wherever' you
keep your telephone. There are peo
ple, unbelieveable as it sounds, who
have to stand up while ’phoning sim
ply because they’ve never gotten
around to providing a comfortable
spot in which to relax while ordering
the groceries or discussing last week’s
party at the Joneses. A telephone
stand and bench are a great help,
although some of the benches, com
monly sold for this purpose rate
pietty low as far as real comfort is
concerned.
Comfort in Living Boom.
The living room, in particular,
should provide a comfortable chair
for each member of the family. If the
man of the house is built along gen
erous lines, the absence of a big lounge
chair should ,be grounds for divorce.
There’s nothing quite so funny—or so
uncomfortable—as a big man in a
dainty little chair that looks like it is
almost ready to give up under the
strain. At the same time there should
be smaller chairs for mother, sister
and the others. It’s always a good idea
to take members of the family along
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMB ER 29, 1937
when shopping for chairs, so they can
try out the particular model being
considerered, Rarely will two peo
ple agree on the relative comfort of
two different chairs.
A bench in front of the radio earns
its place in the home when some par
ticular program is hard to find and
minutes are spent twirling the dial.
Comfortable dining room chairs make
meals twice as enjoyable... .and if it
takes a little more money to buy the
dining room that has them,
they re worth it. If there’s a nursery
in your home, furnished with juven
ile furniture, there should be one
adult-size chair included.... it makes
sitting- up with the baby much less of
a hardship and chairs can be found
to match the children’s furnishings.
Any home-maker can probably pnen
tion another half dozen places where
“furniture for lazy people’’ is needed.
The trick is to do something about it
while the subject is fresh in mind.
WEAVES IN CARPETS
MEET PERIOD STYLES
To keep your floor simple and rich
in appearance, you need not choose
an absolutely plain color fabric. The
pebbly weave carpets and rugs, wov
en of curly twisted yarns, have just
that slight uneven surface look that
gives them texture interest. Then
there are all sorts of new weaves and
combinations that are brand new, yet
are absolutely right with 18th Cen
tury or other traditional furniture
types.
One-Motion Hinge
Czechoslovakia has contributed a
new idea to the cabinet industry—a
new one-motion hinge arrangement
which permits opening and closing
both doors in one motion. This’ new i
feature is found on many cabinets for
the first time this fall.
