Page Eight. THE BRIDGEPORT TIMES. MODEL HOME IS ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH TO TEMPT ANY ONE INTO MATRIMONY AND IS NOW OPEN FOR INSPECTION Toung men and young- women who have announced themselves as com pletely satisfied with single hliss and never intending to mar it by jumping into the sea of matrimony, had bet ter stay far away 'from the Model Home at the corner of Eurnham street and Iranistan avenue in Sea side villag-e for if they should venture close It is almost a forgone fact that the above announce .-nt will go bang! The cozy, comfy little four-room house which has beeen arranged by experts from the Good Housekeeping Institute will be a panacea for all ills of matrimony, tbat is dissatisfaction, discontent, and even divorce. It is attractive, it is comfortable, and It is cheap yet here is just the secret, it looks expensive but as far aa the pocket book is concerned the looks are certainly deceiving. Furnished for $300. The house has been completely fur nished for J300 less ?12 and a few cents. That is probably twelve weeks pay for the average young man. It was furnished by women who knew their business but who always kept In mind, conservatism with plenty of comfort and attractiveness. Accord ing to Mrs. Mildred Maddocks Bent ley, erf the Good Housekeeping Insti tute the persons who. are starting housekeeping on a limited sum should plan in this way: completely furnish the bedroom and kitchen and then expend the remaining money of the living room 'for the Good House keeping institute has found it to be a fact that a couple must have a comfortable rest in order to be agree able and that the man must have energy in order to work to buy the food for the kitchen and one must have completely satisfactory meals in order to enjoy a living room. When one figures it out, what could be more reasonable? If, therefore this is a fact, the des cription of the charming little nouse should begin in the bedroom. The first bedroom contains a double bed in French grey with a mattress to match, a chiffonier which was pur chased at a local second hand store and painted to match the bed and two chairs, a straight back and a rocker. When the chairs were bought they were Inartistic to say the least, but a few deftly applied strokes 'from a paint brush and presto chango! we have two pretty French grey chairs to match the rest of the set ( ?)

Can anyone imagine a more de lightful combination than French grey ai d old rose The Good Housekeep ing expert couldn't, so she made be ruffled cheese cloth curtains for the outside and dyed the unbleached mus ft. oniififnl old rose color. A rug which has a touich of both these Colors in u wns purchased from -Bears-Robuck and so the description -2 bedroom No. 1 is concluded. The color scheme in the second bedroom is grey and ivory. The jtatestion that has been asked more 4feen any other by the visitors is "Why does the new.y married couple have to furnish another bedroom.' Evidently the questioner forgets that ihis house is now only for those who 1-ave just taken the vows but for "es tablished" families as well. Then again "Xewlyweds" aren't going to be "Xewlyweds" forever. In the sec end bedroom there is a single bed of a better quality than the double bed. The idea is that in later years an- trther bed mav be purchased and thus have a set of twin beds. The rhif foneer is of grey wood and the inside curtains are unbleached muslin dyed n. light yellow. As in the rose room there Is a touch of yellow and grey In the floor rug. The Kitclic-n. According to the Oood Housekeep ing Institute system the next room In order of importance is the kitchen and therefore the reader will travel down to the first floor where the kitchen is situated. Of course in he Bridgeport Housing comipany de velopment in Seaside village there are ranges and kitchen cabinets station ary in the house and so that is a saving. The kitchen appears as san itarv and clean as possibly could be imagined. Cm the left Is a set tub and the sink. Between ilio latter and the left window of i le kitchen, the table has been placed. The ta ble was purchased unfinished and to match the chairs was ipalnted ivory color with the knobs touched in dark 1 lue. Besides the four chairs which fit around the table there is also a roomy arm chair. The experts found that a iperson could not rest com fortably in the old fashioned stiff kitchen chairs and so selected chairs in which there were soft willow seats. There is a complete stock of the necessary kitchen utensils and a charming set of dishes, all of which were purchased for the astonishing sum of not quite $23. To the right of the kitchen and in back of the liv ing room is the very roomy pantry In which the refrigerator, broom, wash hoard and mop have been convenient- , ly and neatly placed.

A triple bay window with .a picturesque window seat adds to the appearance of this room, which contains a gateleg table, a couch, an j overstuffed -hir. a willow chair. I bridge lamp and a rug. The ruffled j curtains on the windows are of ecriru of a reasonable quality while the dra- , peries at the window seat are of un- i bleached muslin which were sent to the Good Housekeeping Institute to be i dyed blue and red. The latter color i was used as a trimming for the dra- peries which were made by Miss "Kouos at the Good Housekeeping studio of interior decorating. The covering of the couch was also dyed by Institute j workers, but the cover was made by an experienced interior decorator. The overstuffed chair is a roomy piece of furniture in a dark blue velour. while f the willow chair was purchased in i its natural color but painted blue. On the couch there are four pillows, two red and two blue hut the cushion on the willow chair is a blue edged in red. The miwt expensive piece of furniture in the livirg room is the mahogany gateleg table. On the table there is the much talked about $12 library, held together by unique book-ends.

With its victorious team intact for 1239, the Tigers loom especially for midable.
