Simplicity
tsKeyno+e
To Charm
BY ELEANOR ROSS

SINCE WE are going to be
home much Of the time this win
ter, there will of course be a
certain amount of home enter
tanning. This is probably the
reason why we have received so
many letters lately about doing
over the living room, making it
more pleasant and habitable.
Simplicity Is the keynote OF
successful decorating. 1t is as
important to keep the wrong
things out of a room as to put
the right things into il. And it
is just as important TO create
spacious look about even small
room.
The trend today Is to get away
from frills and furbelows, from
an excess Of bric-a-brac and use
less pieces. toward functional
design. Furniture today pays its
way in usefulness as well as in
beauty. Not every wall space
nee d s 10 be furnished, as SO
many women seem 10 think il
must. II is more pleasing TO
have plenty of wall space around
any group or piece of furniture.
It is always more pleasing to
have furniture follow the struc-
tural lines Of a room, so avoid
placing large pieces in a dag
onal position or across corners.
Place rugs straight on the floor.
a small rug parallel TO a sofa or
table back of it. However, since
upholstered or occasional chairs
are broken by curves, angles and
corners, these may be placed at
an angle TO make the room more
inviting. 1t is the large pieces
that must be carefully aligned.
Camera fans are wont 10 talk
about the Importance of "compo-
Sition' in their pictures. Each
group of furnishings should be
regarded as a composition and
considered with as critical an
eye as though il were 10 be
photographed for an exhibition
print But because of this II is
important not 10 let a stilted or
deliberate look characterize any
grouping.

No More Metal SPRINGS

JUST IN case you've been
toying with the idea OF an ad-
ditional lounge chair for the
living room or wholesale re-
placement of the present array
=. from sofa down to that
extra chair-will, you'd better
hurry.
After midnight of October
81, 1912, not another metal
spring can go into piece or
civilian furniture. That's fed
eral law and it holds for the
duration.
Since no substitute for metal
springs has been located for
making upholstered furniture.
il looks as though you'll have
TO cherish what you have or sit
on wooden benches henceforth.
Spring Constructed
It surprised little TO
hear that Peoples Quitting
had included in its specially

II is significant that in most

furniture in Detroit's many re-

that permit a down payment OF

Gay Prints
Make Home
More Livable


a look around your home. Could
you be completely contented
there seven days a week, 50
weeks year?
or course. that's an exagger-
ated outlook. You really couldn't
spend all that time there, IL you
wanted. But gasoline and tire
shortages, transportation diff
culties and the gradual elimina-
ton of amusements Is going to
keep you at the homefires most
of the time.
Well. now's the time 70 pre-
pare for it, says Mrs. Ida Bagg,
who heads the decorating de-
partment of the Ernst Kern
Company.
Wild Prints
She has some definite ideas
about perking up the home scene
to make it more livable for
every one from grandpop down
to the family infant. And the
first step is to scourge the place
of every knick-knack and Gre
alton that's an eyesore to the
clan.
This done, you can start to
build beauty and usefulness and
comfort into the home. Splash
plenty Of warm colors around,
like red and yellow and tanger-
inc. Go in for the gay, the wild,
wild prints in either chintz or
Sateen.
Why, five yards Of flowery
chintZ on a window can bring all
the cheer in the world to a SOM
Der room. And it's downright
inexpensive, too. which means
much in this bond-buying era.
Play Up Hobby
One of the best tonics for the
home atmosphere, according to
Mrs. Bagg, Is a healthy sprin-
king of interesting accessories
maybe ivy flowing out OF
cornucopias or coming out Of a
water jug spout.
Play up your hobby, II It's
horses. dogs, sailing boats, pho
Biography or flowers. Play 1t up
in the pictures on the wall, the
draperies, the bookends and fig
urines about the room.
Mrs. Bagg showed us a Won
derful example. There was a
hunting dog print in wine and
chartreuse glazed chintz, appro-
pirate for draperies or uphol-
stery. With it, she used a rough
weave charteurse and two
color striped fabric for other
furniture. The wine and char
treuse color scheme, combined
with black and white of the dog.
was both refreshing and restful.
Recreation Room
Moreover. she suggested a
general retaining of the living
room as a recreation room for
the duration. Keep all the fam.
lily games within close reach.
Have one corner where the rug
rolls up easily for the youngsters
TO dance.
Have a general utility chest
in one corner, where mother
keeps her knitting, junior his
toy soldier. set, dad his smoking
equipment and crossword puz-
zles. Hang a good world map
up near the radio and put a
globe over by juniors favorite
corner for geography lessons.
If you're stumped on what to
save, what TO fix over and how
to do it. Mrs. Bagg or one of her
assistants may be able TO help
you. There's no obligation at all.
Another plan to change the
attitude of your house is brought
out in Kern's decorating promo
tons. So many houses contain
room after room of conflicting
color schemes. There's no feel
ing of blend or harmony as you
walk through.
If you're going TO live, really
live, in six rooms. to attain the
feeling of spaciousness. you need
a correlated plan. Their Wish
maker groups. which coordinate
colors. accessories and furnish
ings by periods, are an object
lesson in the harmonizlng idea.
