There's no mystery about in
terror decoration. Any woman can
do good job on any room in her
house If she will just be herself
her bravest self.
These words of encouragement
come from William Wright Gran
dali. prominent industrial designer
and interior decoration authority,
who has recently been appointed
director of industrial design for
the American School of Design.
Before you decide on a new
color scheme or buy single ac-
cessory, write a memo to yourself.

think you are, what kind of home
best suits the needs of you and
your family" Mr.. crandall ex-
plains.
BE honest with yourself. II
you are the honey type who likes
comfort and leads an informal So
cial life. say SO. Don't strive for
sophisticated effects which will
make an entirely incongruous
background for your personality.
Buy furniture or curtains as
you buy hats-because they.please
you and your husband. bring out
your own best features and. in
general, suit your mode of life.
You wouldn't buy only afternoon
hats when your way of living calls
for sports clothes. So why 60 in
for formal color scheme when
you know very well that you live
and entertain informally most of
the time ?"
Mr.. Crandall lists reseda green.

Terry meant what he said.
Through the trials and tribula-
tons that followed the brief
honeymoon. he stood close behind
Jan. indulgently. minimizing her
mistakes. believing and trusting in
her mate fineness.
He stood behind her until that
dreadful time-but that was when
they both lost their way.
Terry's first sermon was in
spired. He spoke to a packed
auditorium. he really only spoke to
Jan. Sitting below him. she raised
rapt eyes to his face. She smiled
and his eyes smiled back.
The congregation noted the evil
dences Of love and happy under
standing and a wave OF senti-
mental sympathy swept into al
most every pew Almost every one.
Jarvos Samp sat through the serv-
ice. rigidly immobile. his face
watchful and hard.
His wife neither looked TO right
nor left Her face was pathetic

Selma Guthrie narrowed her
eyes and shifted contemptuously.
The older members of the Ladies
Aid society did likewise.
Jan stood beside Terry in the
foyer as he shook hands with the
congregation. He introduced her
to everyone. his voice rich with
pride. The young married class
made much of Jan.
Betty Warren and Diane Tate,
who with their husbands had at

Diane said. She was rather
exotic-looking girl. she wore a bit
too much makeup. her clothes
were just shade on the extreme
side.
Betty Warren aped Diane's style
and manner. Just why the Tates
and the Warrens had ever wan
dered into the young married class
was a question.
They had. and Terry made them
welcome. Terry had vast toler-

two towels for each window, with
matching wash cloths for tie

to launder, need no ironing, viii
not appear limp from steamy
