They come primed for finishing on
the job or ready to install.
The hollow-core flush doors Of
plywood are very light, standard size
doors weighing about 80 pounds.
They have the lock- block type of IN
ner construction. The wood must
be properly seasoned before the door
Is made. and the shelf-nke inner
frame should be tightly sealed to
guard against shrinking or swelling
with temperature and moisture
changes. Sealing also protects the
interior of the door from dirt, dust
and vermin.
Besides room doors, there are cup
board and cabinet doors available in
plywood. These are counterparts of
the larger flush doors, with all the
outstanding features of holloW-core,
seasoned wood and sealing, but they
are built to measure in any wood
you wish. They can be painted, of
course, if you prefer a solid white
or. light-colored surface in your
kitchen to the grained effect of the
wood.
Prices Of these doors vary a great
deal depending upon how many you
need at one time. The room doors
made Of unsolicited birth with pine
edges come to about $3.50 each, while
cupboard doors cost about IS cents

II keep hearing about plywood, !"
one of our readers wrote recently,
"but nobody tells me what I can
buy in plywood. have a house, built
some 20 years ago. Is there any
way in which I can modernize it
with plywood?"
There are several ways of using
plywood in an already-built house:
Wall panels, shelving, table tops and
the like. If the doors between the
various rooms of your house are re-
placed with prefabricated hollow
core doors finished in various kinds
of plywood, they will give a dis
tinctly modern touch to your rooms.
More than 100000 of these doors
have been sold by one manufacturer
IN the last three years, although
they are considered a relatively new
item in building construction. So
you aren't trying an untested prod
uct when you get one of the doors.
Flush doors are plain-surfaced
smooth slabs of wood fitting evenly
into the door frame, and they de-
pend upon pattern, color and finish
OF the plywood for decorative ap-
peal. There are variations on this
theme offered by the company to-
day, however. Some of these doors
have lowers at the bottom, others
have three panes of glass inset at
the top. Then there is one made to
resemble somewhat the batten doors
Of Dutch Colonial houses. And one
put together with fitted v grooves.
A fourth has an inserted panel of
criss-cross strips of wood at the bot
tom and small pane of glass at
the top. But all have hollow cores
and fit smoothly against the door
frame.
Besides these designs, special con-
structions may be ordered with mir
ror doors, irregular tops and inlays.

When we were in HOLLYWOOD not
so long ago, we noticed a good many
uses for circular windows the
portfolio sort of thing, so attractive
IN Fay Bainter's nautical bar and
recreation room and in George
Burns dressing room. When we
got home we decided to investigate
the expense Of this sort of peephole-
window, and we are pleasantly sur
prised. They are possible for a lot
OF us, even If we aren't film stars!
There is ready-made circle win-
dow unit which is sold for a little
under $22, complete with frame

Attractive Ensemble

An adjoining dining room and
hall are decorated to make charm
ing ensemble. In the hall picked
pine furniture upholstered in white
and peacock green is accentuated by
off-white walls. But for the dining
room this scheme is somewhat re-
versed and the walls painted pea
cock green, with white leather seats
to the chairs, white rug and off,
white damask curtains.

same as other windows In those
places. They may be used with vir-

the inside trim varied from the plain

the Greek key motif inserted at top,

with pleasant possibilities, don't you
think?

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 18.-Colors
popular in home furnishing follow
close on the heels of those favored
for apparel, decorators have recently
learned. Recognizing this trend, a
prominent store here has decorated
an attractive display house in five
of the colors being most favored
this spring-dusty rose, foam beige,
cloud gold, mist green and smoke
blue. The display house-known as
Wishmaker's House-is as smartly
styled as 1t Is unique in conception.
The idea behind it is not merely
to exhibit an artfully decorated
home, but to make of it a focal point
for the co-ordinating of colors in
household furnishing.
In a patiolike salesroom outside
the entrance to the house are grouped
various household furnishings and
accessories in the colors that match
and blend with the combinations
shown in the Wishmaker's House.
Here, householders may purchase
carpets in any of the featured colors
and can find perfect matches in
everything from glassware to dra-
peries-from sheets to shower cur
tains.
One of the most interesting of the
color matching activities is the paint
collection. Here fiat paint in quart
and gallon cans may be obtained
In the featured colors with matching
gloss paints for the woodwork. Ca
tering to the individuality all of us
wish for our homes, the store has
gone farther than just offering these
exact paint colors. BY the addition
OF white in varying quantities, ac-
cording to the directions on the
can, three shades of dusty rose can
be obtained. The same number of
tones can be had in smoke blue or
mist green. Because of the delicacy
of cloud gold and foam beige, only
two added tones are possible if the
soft, full p@tel tones be retained.
The entry hall of the house is
cool and inviting with its bone
white woodwork which sets off the
green walls so effectively. Next to
the hallway is the living room. The
walls and woodwork are painted in
mist green and there are gay chintz
hangings at the windows which in
troduce rose tones.
One of the bedrooms has three
walls painted in dusty rose, while
the fourth wall is white with rose
pattern on it. The white of this
wall is echoed by the woodwork.
The same white trim is used for
the bathroom which proudly fea-
lures smoke blue and cloud gold
towels. A second bedroom Is done
in tones of white and rose. The
alcove in this room is painted in
foam beige which matches the closet
and the woodwork.
The den has white woodwork with
touches of smoke blue and cloud
gold to give lively contrast. Cloud
gold is also the wall color of the
dining room with white woodwork
to set it off
The simplicity of the house is
charming and quaint, yet very mod
ern with its leisured air of comfort
and GOODNESS.
This is said to be the first time
such a comprehensive color ensefn-
BILE for the home has been offered
to the public.

Peach and { EqepIont Tones

A small breakfast room combines
peach and eggplant tones to good
advantage. The walls, ceiling and
woodwork are painted a luscious
shade Of peach and the floor is cov-
cred with eggplant colored linoleum
decorated with white insets. The
furniture, painted white, is covered
