signs.
Sherat0n's Forte.
Sheraton had genius for COM
bining long, sweeping curves with
straight tapered lines. He achieved
beautiful effects through the use OF
inlay and veneer and his hand
painted furniture was OF the finest
quality. In contrast to the curves
of Chippendale's furniture stands
the rectangular work Of the Adam
brothers. Their work was charac-
teristically classic, introducing nut
ings and carving of great delicacy.
The Queen Anne design, which
was popular Immediately preceding
the 18th century, is often Included
therein. 1t consists of simple,
graceful lines, curved legs and three
corner tables. Bureau tops, head
boards and mirrors are shaped.
The wood employed originally was
rich and toned, with swirl
grain figures, herringbone inlay and
crossbanding. Many Colonial pieces
are suitable, such as wheelback or
Windsor chairs, built-in cupboards
and silver hurricane lamps. Some
times the use of the bold, classic
design and dramatic colors OF the
Regency period may add life to the
room.

Renovating Of Home
Should Start With
Covering for Floor
Styles and Periods
Are Explained to Help
Avoid Confusion
By BARBARA CURTIS.

Before we know it summer will
have arrived, so it behooves us to
look quickly to our arrangements in
home renovating. In most cases 1t
doesn't take too much labor to
transform the room with which
you are bored into a source of
charm and delight.
There seems to be certain
amount of confusion concerning the
proper furnishings-a bit OF night
mare to many homemakers who are
caught in a swirl of technical terms
and expressions, such as 18th CEN
tury. Regency, Sheraton, hues.
values and the -perplexing
problems OF floor coverings.
First Of all we must remember the
difference between period and style.
Period" refers to the time during
which certain styles are prevalent.
Much as one might refer to l94l
frock, styled by Vionnet.
18th Century Period.
Let us turn our attention to the
18th century period and its styles,
since this is again the foremost
trend in home decorating. The
Georgian period is the early part of
the 18th century. It's attributes are

terms. figured designs, plain broad
loom or the popular twistweaves.
If the floor is in any way unsightly,
1t might be we'll to cover 1t entirely
with carpeting. If not, a rug of
the proper size is necessary, for a
rug which is too small makes the
room appear So
If you wish to have border of
floor around the rug, leave from 6
to II inches, depending on the size
of the room. Be careful not to
leave too much. Choose the color
of your carpet according to the
usage it will receive. Often a very
dark carpet is no more practical
than one of a light color, for dust
and dirt show up on the dark and
may blend in with the pastel. Here
lies the advantage of figured carpet,
as marks are little noticed. This is

During this period of the three

famous styles. those of Thomas

Thomas Sheraton and the Adam
brothers. Chippendales name is as

Calls 1t a TopCast

What Alexander Hall, a veteran
of 20 years in the motion picture
business, terms the most competent
cast he has ever directed. has been
assembled by Columbia Pictures for
Heaven Can Wait
Robert Montgomery is starred in
the riotous comedy of pugilist who
sudde-ly finds himself impersonat-
ing a millionaire and getting away
with it.
The two top feminine roles are
taken by Rita johnson, a Broadway
actress of reputation, and Evelyn
Keyes, whose work in Gone With
the Wind" and THE Lady in Ques-
ton made her a top bet for the
romantic lead.
Important roles also are played
by Claude Rains, Edward Everett
Horton, John Emery, James Glea-
son, Halliwell Hobbies and Donald
Mcbride.
Hall pointed out that the unusual
character of the new picture de-
manded top performances from
every one in the cast.
Heaven Can Wait" is based or
stage play by Harry Segall which
Sidney Buchanan has adapted to the
screen. 1t is being produced by
/ Everett RiSkin.

When Joan Crawford began her
movie career, she was known as
Lucille LIE Lueur. Recently, a j. C.
fan wrote asking if she might adopt
the old discarded name under which
to begin her own film career.
Miss Crawford said:
l. Yes.
2. But the girl better not, be-
cause her own career had prospered
only after she had dropped her
real name.

Todd, would look better on a mar

the favorite stories handed down

of Ellen Drew, who has just had
excellent roles in three pictures
Miss Drew, every one has been
pointing out, looks lot like Bette

Patricia Collinge is going right along

Miss Collinge will be recalled-or
should be as the actress who

Helen Hayes as her understudy,
went on from there to considerable
success, and then abandoned the
stage to write so brightly and satlrl-
cally that editors couldn't get

Tired of writing, Miss Colllnge
