Modern Women Would Rather Look Intelligent
Than Beautiful, Says Artist Who Paints Them
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
NEA Service Writer

SOUTHAMPTON. I. 1,-You can
learn about women from painting
them!
So il would seem. at least, judy
ing from the rich understanding
and interesting knowledge Of her
fellow-sisters possessed by Dorothy
Vedder, society portrait painter and
sketcher, mistress Of Off-Hand
Manor.
Miss Vedder has done the por-
traits OF many Of New York's 400,
and their children. Of actresses,
business m agnates, professional
folks and home bodies here in the
East. In California, III Cuba and
abroad In fact. she began her por-
trait career at the tender age OF

her mother. realistically reproduc-
ing her beautifully modelled head
and gorgeous titan red hair.

made the decorative feature of the
front of a house. Their unbroken
space offers an opportunity for a
large stencil border or center pat
tern. One attractive house Of beige
stucco had the garage built under
one wing, with the doors painted
brown to match the trim and. stem
cilled motifs in orange, yellow,
blue, and beige in the center.
Garages detached from the house
are frequently story and a halt.
By means of paint and wall board,
the half story can be made into a
satisfactory playroom, study or
studio. Bringing the garage into a
closer relationship with the house
necescitates keeping. the interior
free from oil. scattered tools, and
soiled rags. Painting the interior
walls and floors not only makes
them more durable but introduces
a spirit of orderliness. When the
garage has insufficient natural
light, painting the walls a sunny
yellow will provide an excellent
substitute. Paint will also prevent
a cement floor from cracking and
powdering away and will keep the
inevitable oil stains from soaking
in and discoloring the surface.
