Detroit Speaker Leaves
New Ideas with Audience

Since most women cannot
start to redecorate by discard
ing all old furnishings, the
speaker recommends a plan -
even a five-year plan, If neces-
sary. Thus the old may be COM
bined with the new successfully.
Two methods may be used to
change the appearance of
room, Clark said. The back
ground, walls and woodwork
may be changed in color, or
the accessories may be renew
ed, which would also include
the use of slip-covers.
Devoting himself mainly to
living rooms, Clark urged
women to follow through on
the same scale. If your furni-
ture is the formal type you may
use the silks and velvets in up
holsteries and draperies. Cottons
are the big news in decorating.
he said, and it is in this field
that the woman who is restricted
in money will find the most
satisfaction.
Clark brought with him
samples OF rugs, drapery and up
holstery materials, working out
combinations to pro 'e his point
that a generous use OF color
will make an attractive room.
He recommends selecting a print
and using the colors therein
throughout the room.
PASTELS USED
The long tables at which the
luncheon was served were laid
with white cloths and decorated
with strips of orchid crepe pa
per. Bouquets of pastel sweet
peas were arranged at intervals,
and the Springlike effect was
further carried out in the match
ing pastel napkins.
Mrs. Louis Tinker was pener-
al chairman, assisted by Mrs.
Charles Walters. Committees
included Mrs. Milol Grinnell,
Mrs. Thomas Babcock, Mrs.
Robert Winslov, Mrs. Roy
Kidd, Mrs. Kendall Walton, Mrs.
Walter Kruse, Mrs. Lyman Price,
