Decorator Gives Hints On Wallpaper Two commonly misundeetood or misinterpreted ideas most housewives have concerning interior decorating has to do with wall-paper selection *and the use of predominant color in decoration. These ideas were recently advanced by Miss Jean McLain, who has spent many years helping house wives with interior decorating prob lems. According to Miss McLain, “Most housewives just don’t know how to combine wallpapers that are to be used in the same living areas of the house,” she said. “Now, if I choose a floral pattern for the dining-room, I am through with florals for the rest of the downstairs living area. I would choose, perhaps, an architectural block pattern in the entrance hall, a conventional rosette in the living room. Many women make the mistake of using different floors throughout -the first floor of the house.” MTss McLain advises the use of florals or scenic patterns in the dining •room, because, she says, most dining room furniture is the same wherever you see it —a table, six chairs, a buf fet and a china cabinet. “These pieces are all quite stereotyped and are not 'decorative in themselves,” she said, “so they need a handsome floral or scenic pattern to bring out the chara cter of the furniture itself. Fashion news in interior decoration is in the color trends, Miss McLain claims. The 1 main trend .is toward simpler color schemes, she added. "Women talk about predominating colors—they know that term,” she said, “but they fail to let that color | REMINDING :; ...

C. really predominance is the key to really in pderominance is the key to a restful room.” The decorator said that a woman will choose a “predominating color” and then splash it around the room. The proper way to handle a predomi nating color, Miss McLain said, is to let the.color really Stand out by using it on the largest decorating area. Her own formula is a three-color combination. The basic color—the predominating color —she would use on walls and woodwork, with walls and woodwork matching. The floor covering would blend with that basic color, although it may be the exact match of the color on the wall or sim ply a deeper tone of the same color. Her secondary color would be used for contrast and she would select this for the draperies and furniture covers. The third color would be used for ac cents, selected in the room’s accessor ies such as lamp shades and bric-a brae. Colors today are stronger. The pale the gentle, or the sluggish color no longer is popular. Clean sparkling light tones and rich deep tones are available in all colors, Miss McLain said. “Deep green is still the biggest seller in color,” she said. iThis Atomic World!

Each proud mother is watch ing her son with hopes that he will be first to kindie a fire of humfen destruction. -• ‘ What are we to gain by destroying Russia if simultaneously we are to be destroyed? And likewise, what has Russia to gain by destroying us, if Russia is also destroyed? The inter national affairs of today don’t make sense. The big problem, world peace, has no reason whatever to be a prob lem at all. If only our own government would do more and ask for less to be doiie, it would at least do no harm. If we actually want peace with Russia why send the American Eagle to Moscow armed with plans for destruction and a bold speech of “You Do This” and “You Do That”? Why tell Russia, “If you have anything to say to me, come to Washingjton and speak up”? Why ask Russia to lay down her arms when we keep picking up more ? Why tell the Balkan Countries what type of government to use ? We have the government of our choice. Why can the other nations of the world not choose their own? We- want peace but we want it our way. Russia wants peace her way. Two kids fight ing over a piece of candy! Why can’t some sensible person break the candy in half and create a state of peace? Arm a man with a gun and sooner or later Ke will fire it.* If nothing else he will fire it to satisfy his own mind as to how it shoots. And on the other hand, give a man a Bible, make him keeip it long enough and eventu ally he will pray. If only the promo*- 1 ers of wars would forge* wars as the poor devils who fight them, peace' would not be hard to obtain and hold. In Washington We have what are supposed to be tfie brains of a peoples’ government and there we also have the pride of a nation and the lust for power and the greed for wealth. It all adds up to that every day occurrence —take the matches from the cute but mischievous little boys and there will be no fire of destruction.
