Stock Market Fails
To Make Traditional
Pre-Christmas Rise
Performance Is Better
Than Previous Session
And Losses Are Eosed
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The stock
market today failed its followers who
had counted on a Ere-Christmas rise
as per Wall Street tradition, but It's
performance was better than in the
previous session.
Reversing recent trends, the mar
ket got off to poor start and then
developed some rallying power. In
itial heaviness was attributed to SELL
ing on the reports of new Japanese
gains in the Philippine invasion
move. plus a precautionary lghten-
ing of commitments over the holi-
day recess.
Early losses running from frac-
tionS to point were in many cases
replaced by advances Of as much.
Closing prices were slightly mixed. a
sizable number of stocks remaining
in arrears.
Transfers Around 400, 900.
Despite the customary afternoon
tapering of activities on the stock
Christmas, transfers totaled around
100000 shares. Tax-loss selling
continued lively in certain issues.
UnresBonsive to the markets

American Telephone, which for
weeks has been under heavy pres
sure. 1t was about Ia points lower
on the opening and without much
comeback spirit in the subsequent
dealings. The stock registered a

DISHEARTENED by the
awkward presence of ill-placed
pipes and radiators, Washing
ton woman nearly failed to take
an otherwise attractive apart
ment. The handicapped living
room, however. served as a
challenge to her ingenuity. Her
interest was kindled. she took
the apartment and, as result,
she has achieved a room that is
not only beautiful but decidedly
unusual.
It was the window-wall OF the
room that was the trouble
maker. Between the two win
dows, a pair of dark and ugly
steam pipes reared from the
floor TO the ceiling, jutting into
the room for nearly a foot.

The result seemed 10 be a

Tire pipes, of course, would have
TO be concealed in some way
while the unlovely effect of the
radiator would have to be
minimized.

in this wise. First OF all "A
plain wooden valance, extending
across the entire width of the
window wall was installed. This
valance. about 10 inches in
width. covers the area from the

panes.

from the WALTON the room side

Colonial Type Decoration
Popular for Bedrooms
BY ELEANOR ROSS

AFTER TAKING a good, long
look at several model room
shows, II seems 10 us that the
Early American or Colonial
type OF decoration Is in the lead
for bedrooms, no matter how
modern the other rooms may be.
There's a freshness. a sweet
ness, wholesome charm about
the maple and chintz, the glng-
ham curtains. patchwork quilts,
Cooley prints, highboys and test
ers that mark this period
A bedroom Of this type IS easy
10 live with, and soothing too,
the type Of decoration of which
one never tires.
Spriseed Wall Paper
Sprigged wallpaper is the
ideal wall treatment for the
Early American bedroom. Chintz
and dressing table skirts can
pick Up the floral note and de-
velop il. or can contrast il with
white dotted Swiss or eyelet en-
broidery.
White eyelet embroidery held
up with smashing huge satin
bows makes the skirts of one
dressing table, while in another
room. plaid taffeta bows give an
old-world look 10 the room.

Rooms Handicaps Challenge
To Decorative ingenuity

case-about six feet in length
built along the wall at right
angles TO the sofa enhances the
modern feeling Of the room.
Most of this. of course, was
done after the room was
painted. Careful planning
entered this preliminary phase
of the rooms decoration, too.
Keeping in mind the precepts of
paint styling - to make the
most of things with color-Mrs.
w. considered the natural light
ing of the room and the color
ing Of the living room furniture
she already possessed.
Light Absorbers
The room had a southeast ex-
posture and was flooded with
afternoon sunshine. Venetian
blinds at the windows would
make II possible TO dim the
glare. but would also darken the
room TO a degree. A large. deep
blue rug that would completely
cover the floor was light
absorber as well. These factors
counseled the selection of
light tint for the larger areas.
AS a consequence, light ivory
was selected for walls, wood
work and ceiling. The Venetian
blinds and tapes were also OF
the light rejecting tint. And so
was a deep leather chair and
hassock.
The sectional sofa with It's
upholstery of soft, grayed rose
struck the keynote for the next
color introduced. The book
shelves were painted TO match
the sofa and so was the wooden
valance across the top of the
window wall. A strip the same
width as the valance was
painted at the top Of the other
three walls, carrying the rose
color around the entire room.
More CsmouAeee
To make the radiator less OBJ
jectionable. IL was camouf1aged
by painting IL ivory so that II
matched the wall and blended
with its background. A shelf
placed on top OF IL was also
painted ivory and aided further
in concealment.
OF unusual interest was the
decorative motif that lent pat
tern 20 the room--the Inca
symbol for the thunder bird
This amusing and modern look
ing bird supplied the design for
the draperies, done in dark blue
on ivory. The same fabric was
used 10 upholster the outside Of
a deep and comfortable chair.
Front surfaces Of the chair were
covered in a soft chartreuse
