without defeat, but it also led all
of its Big Ten rivals in the vital

of being a low-scoring but tight
defensive team, the Gophers rolled

Coach Charley Bachman of
State was loud in his
praise of the new rules.

TO Increase
Room Size
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

RARELY ARE the bedrooms
equal in size to other important
rooms in a house, yet il is the
bedrooms that are called upon
TO support the largest, heaviest
pieces of furniture.
Chests, dreSserS,- vanities and
beds are expected to be placed
To decorative advantage in rooms
for the most part entirely in
adequate to serve them justly.
There are, however, as in most
other facets of the decorators
craft. certain tricks which will
aid in overcoming this problem.
Background
Start with the background.
AS this column has pointed out
before, painting the ceiling like
the walls will increase the APP
parent size of the. room. Carry
ing this a step farther, enamel
the woodwork the wall color.
Let one color predominant in the
background, and you have a
larger, clearer canvas TO paint
your decorative scheme upon.
If you can. carpet the floor
from wall TO wall. Or use a rug
which leaves only a narrow
margin, not wider than six
inches. The use of throw rugs
in small room results in a
cluttered appearance which de-
tracts from the decorative
scheme as a whole.
Windows
Another important point in
keeping a bedroom large and
airy-looking even when il is
actually small and without
cross-ventilation is the right
choice in window treatment.
Avoid heavy draperies. Instead.
work with sheer voiles and ruff
fled curtains.
If you feel the need of pat
tern al the window, there are on
the market several printed
voiles and lightweight SateenS
which will contribute the neceS-
sary design without heaVineSs.
Throughout the scheme. re-
strain pattern If you use it at
the windows, keep the bedspread
plain, and employ stripe or
textured self-pattern on the
boudoir chair.
