Period Pieces
May Be Mixed

SINCE FEW among us so

sign as to- want IL. and il alone.
throughout the house. the ques-
ton arises as to what periods
may be used together to the
combined advantage Of good
taste and effective decoration.
II is a question which is be-
ing answered by professional
decorators with one word
Originality.
The restraint Of tradition, Of
using Georgian with Georgian
and Colonial with Colonial, is
giving way 10 the trend toward
creative blending of different
periods into one harmonious in
terror. And. incidentally. a more
interesting interior.
Must Understand
To successfully mix periods
however, it is necessary TO have
a basic understanding of which
designs are closely enough al
lied for this treatment.
As a first step toward this
understanding. group periods
according 10 their typical woods.
That is. the mahogany, walnut
and oak styles. Mahogany is
the largest, and today the most
popular.
Grouped about this beautiful
cabinet wood are the Georgian
periods. such as Chippendale
and Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
Regency, too. belongs here, and
the simplified Colonial versions
Of the Georgian patterns men
toned above. American Fed
eral, the present darling OF fur
niture fashions. is a member.
To Blend
That very flexible term,
Eighteenth Century. is applied
10 any and all Of these designs.
and with a careful hand il is
possible 10 add interest and
character TO your home by MAX
ing IL -lif you favor mahogany

eighteenth century periods.
For example. combine Re-
gency with Georgian Chippen-
dale and Sheraton in your living
room. Essentially a eombina-
ton of elegance and refinement.
these patterns complement one
another very well.
They are the dress parade OF
mahogany, taking full advan-
tage not only Of the beauty of
the woods grain but also of its
adaptability for carving.
Keynote
Colonial Chippendale. more
Slmplified than its Georgian
cousin, may be united in the
dining room with Duncan Phyfe.
Beauty of line without re-
course IN carved ornament is
The keynote Of all Colonial pat
terms. and you may feel safe in
mixing any of this group.
The successful mixing of
period pieces will be further
discussed in next Thursdays

SENIOR PLAY PRESENTED

The Senior Play Laughing
Gas" was presented Friday eve
ming in the High School Auditor
ium to a capacity audience. Judg-
ing from the laughs and applause,
il was a successful performance.
Since there was no entertainment
between acts and the action OF
the play was swift. the excitement
never Jagged.
Outstanding in their roles We're
w. T. Smothers as the stupid po-
liceman and unwilling bride
groom; Wanda Lee as a chorus
girl and his determined bride;
Ruby Sparks as the excltable
young girl; and Narcissus Mon
real, as an Italian landlady; Mia
Graham as the dumb Swedish
maid; Virginia Gleason as the
maiden aunt; and Benny Arnold
as the Oman who masquerades as
a detective-story writer, portrayed
their respective parts very con-
vincingly. The air of mystery was
helped along by Frank Woody, the
masked-man, and Clayton Trout
who played the part of corpse.
Florence Wing as the older sister
and Irene Atkisson as a surrealis-
tic poet performed their parts abb
ly.
The play was under the direc-
ton of Miss Eugene Brandon.
The support of the towns people
who helped in the production OF
the play by either attending or
lending properties, is greatly ap-
preciated by the Senior class.
