AS an artist designs fabric,

signs room. Each room has Ger
tain architectural limitations. It
may be limited or expanded by
the amount of money that can be
spent, and by the manner in
which the occupants wish to use
the room.
Rarely does one have the op-
portunity of designing the room
completely. You purchase a home
ready built, or you remodel one
built years ago. You are limited
by the funds and the ability of
your architect or contractor. You
may have some furnishings which
you feel for economic reasons, or
sentimental ones, must be used.
Out of this melee, a livable
room must be evolved. The deco
rator has to consider wall space,

Some Prove Adept.
Today many people who own
traditional furniture buy homes
that are not radically modern,
but which are surely not truly
traditional. Perhaps they are
themselves intrigued and inter-
ested in some of the contemporary
accessories and paintings. They
wonder whether to sell their ira
dltlonal furnishings at a sacri-
flee, or if they can incorporate
these into an attractive interior
without having them incongruous.
Some decorators, both amateur
and professional, prove themselves
very adept at doing just this.
Others fail pitifully. The secret
lies in effective arrangement, a.
different use and values of color,
the use Of more solid colors, sub
stituting textural interest for
pattern.
Perhaps you have a combina-

Carolina Man Found
Gully Of Seducing
High School Girl, Is

A District Court jury today took
less than an hour to find a Rocky
Mount IN. c. resident guilty of
seducing a 16-year-old high school
student here.
The jury Of 10 men and 2 wom-
en- returned the verdict against
Leroy Webb, %. who the Gov
ernment charged had been in
innate with the girl several times
on automobile dates" last fall.
After the verdict was an
nounced, Webb's wife, Mrs. Mary
w. Webb, wept Historically.
The Webbs separated last June,
but were reconciled shortly be-
fore the trial began. Mrs. Webb
testified in behalf of her husband
yesterday. She said that Webb, a
former grocery clerk, had sup
ported her during the separation.
Judge James w. Morris referred
the case to the Probation Office
and set no date for sentencing.
He set bond at $500. Maximum
penalty on the charge is three
years imprisonment and a 5000
fine.
During the trial Assistant United
States Attorney Raymond E.
Baker read two letters which he
charged Webb had written the
high school student in which vows
of undying love were made. In the
letters, Webb outlined his plans
to get a Florida divorce from his
wife, who at the time was expect
ing his child.
The father of the complainant
testified Webb had lived with them
for two-week period last fall.
The student met Webb while she
was visiting in Raleigh, N. c., last
summer, it was said.
