whatever is supposed to be por-
trayed.
Modern crystal is contrasted
with lovely milk glass, and there
is Waterford and Venetian.
Metal is quite different, and is
used for lamps of classic inspi-
ration as well as in modern
things. Brass and copper make
some stunning lamps, and in
many types.
Pottery Is Varied
Pottery also takes many
forms, and fits in with many
periods. There is the exquisite
porcelain china of Lenox and
Limoges, right down to earthen.
ware in gay colors. which has
it's place too. White is still an
important color. though there
are also quite a bit of yellow
and brown shown, and some
blues, cobalt and aquamarine.
Alabaster lamps will be much
in the fashion picture too, white
and lovely as they are. They
may be classicly plain, or ex-
quisitely carved. A heavily
veined alabaster will be pre-
ferred for some rooms. It has
a slightly richer look. Real
agate is talked of too.
New Shade Fabrics
The introduction of new fab
RIGS into the lamp shade picture
makes it sound entirely differ
ent. like a new field. There
will be cottons, linens, wool and
various fibreS, as we'll as silk.
Some of the new cellulose ma
terials will make interesting
shades too.
Hand made details on shades,
and distinctive trimmings such
as tiny fringes make them all
different and unusual. Shades
must always be definitely Re-
lated to the base, and the old
haphazard matching will be
seen no more. That is a relief,
for lamps were often crimes,
and all but ruined rooms that
were otherwise perfect in detail.

When straw is TABOO.
Personally we are more
interested in the redecorat-
ing of our living room and
dining room. We were lucky
enough to run into one Of
the foremost local decorators
who gave us some of the
latest tips on color and fab
rics. She says that up
holstery fabrics include two
light greens-chartreuse and
lime; several in the red
school - shrimp coral, lac
quer, copper pink, wine resp
berry and burgundy; in the
brown school # wn and
sand and deep brown; deep
blue and a deep delphinium.
Luvet is a new fabric made
with a cellulose film (celo-

tensively for draperies, up

Screens in ages past have had
various uses. In Oriental coun-
tries they were used to divide
off rooms, often making the
whole side of a room. And as
their screens we're really beau
tiful, the effect was decorative
as well as practical. Nearly all
of their screens are as hand
some on one side as the other,
SO that they can be used in
limitleSs ways. They are hong,
too, often made Of from eight
to ten panels.
Entirely Practical
In Europe, the architecture
didn't take much account of
ventilation. Houses were often
draughty and cold. So that
screens of the Sturdier type were
employed to protect sleeperS
from the breezes.
These screens were often OF
fine brocades or needlepoint.
Tapestries were used, too, even
velvets. Later, in the time Of
the Georges, painted canvas
came to be used, and had an
even more decorative effect
than the fabrics of earlier days.
But to get to our modern
screens, you are all probably
aware of the smart painted
screens of wood with Stats in
: the upper section, which have
had quite a vogue the last year
or so. They've been used al
most entirely in a decorative
sense, and people are begin
ming to realize how important
they can be. Other types are
coming in for fall, and if you
have a room that doesn't en-
tirely satisfy you, be sure to
consider the possibility of add
ing a screen, to change its
shape or appearance.
MOUCEu uses
There is often an extra door
to hide, an awkward vista, an
architectural defect in an 9TH
erwise lovely room, and such
things can easily be corrected.
The low, horizontal lines Of
most modern furniture need to
be broken sometimes by some
thing tall, and there again, a
screen comes in.
The only rule I've found for
screens is that the main part
of their decoration should be
above the middle of the screen.
You may look at them then
more or less as you would at a

fer. They may even take the
place of pictures in a room,

ITALY STUDIES
PART PAYMENT
ON WAR DEBT
Token Offering May Be
Made, With Remainder to
Be Paid in Goods.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 14.-All
eyes were on Italy today as the
deadline approached for debtor ma
tons either to pay their June Is
installments or default outright.
There was a possibility that Italy
might offer part payment and ask
for an immediate conference on
payment of the balance.
So far Finland, with a semi-an-
nual payment of approximately
$780, 600, is the only n of thirteen
debtor nations which has said it
will pay as usual. Most large debt
ors, headed by Great Britain, whose
installment totals approximately
$85, 600, 900, and France with $685.
900, 90, have announced formally they
would default.
The Italian ambassador, Augusta
Rosso, was expected to visit the
state department today and inform
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
what Italy proposes to do about the
$4,000 900 installment due.
According to advices from Rome,
Italian authorities are of two minds.
One group would pay at least a
token" in cash and link this with
a formal request for early consul
tation between the two govern
ments to see what might be done
about the remainder-such as pos
sible payments in goods and serv-
ices, as was suggested in Mr.. Hull's
note yesterday to Great Britain.
