Nursery Hints
1. Let everything you buy for the nursery be washable, the walls creamcoloiired, with mouldings, upon which pictures may be run, and changed at intervals. Sea-pieces look particularly well. 2. A painted toy cupboard, with a strong unbreakable glass dooiv-like Princess. Elizabeth’s own —througn which a child can see his toys—or hers, as the case may be—is always a delight. 3. “Narrative” cretonnes with seaside and country scenes, are popular for nursery upholstery; but there are those who still like the plain curtains, bed-hangings, quilts, and curtains best. Green is a good colour to choose. A cork carpet and ruga to match look well.
4. —To paint jupt the surrounds of a nursery floor a cream or white before you have the cork carpet laid down is a happy thought, these being so easily washed. 5. Do not fail to ge,t a gramophone for tho older children. • .Supposing that they have to do physical exorcises in the morning, which, without music, they flpd tedious, they will- go through them quite happily to a tune'on tho gramophone.
