fifteen years or more hence as it ia today. Way out
modern is likely to be yesterday's fad, but Colonial or
provincial styles, as well as simple, classic con-
temporary designs have already stood the test of time
and will continue to for years to come. .
'_ What do you do if your child prefers modern. to

” Chances are that.tha majority of children get very
attached to what they grow up with something like a
security blanket — and it is even possible that this
same furniture could carry them through to their very
“first apartment. If, on the other hand, your child in-
later years prefers something completely different,
you'still don't have to throw the furniture out, for if
you've chosen wisely, you'll more than likely be able to
use it somewhere else in the house, such as a gueat
-Toom or even another child's room. ;
Whatever the furniture style you choose, you can
easily ring the chances with new wallcoverings,
draperies and accessories as the child grows, In this
way, the basic furniture staye the same, but the effect
can be made to look entirely different,
