Early American Keeps Firm Grip on Interiors
By Gladys Miller
Secretary, N. Y. Chapter,
American institute Of Decorators

Don't think for a moment that
with all Of the talk about modern
furniture and decoration that
every one has turned his back on
good Early American. Not for a
moment.
But a strange thing has hap
pened. Lately, it has been diff
cult to find buyers for poor re-
productions. Evidently. those of
you who like this strong. sturdy.
practical style with a good repu-
tation and a finely documented
past are refusing to accept bad
copies.
Early American. in maple, pine
and hickory-with the famous
saddle-seated Windsor and tavern
chairs. Welsh cupboards and con-
venient drop-leaf tables-is as
dual-purpose and as convenient
:: as many piece Of furniture
called modern.
) Lately, Early American has been
!: gaining in popularity in the States
/ where the ranch house style Of
sarchitecture has been In demand.
Z Sometimes. these houses are
furnished Informally in the early
style, but in a contemporary
manner. using modern colors,
backgrounds, or arrangement; or
the earlier furniture styles mayI
. be combined with modern fur
niShings, which are harmonious
In scale, proportion and line.
Can Bring Reward.
1t takes a decorative artist to
do this mixing perfectly, and the
reward comes when some one says,
"But that piece is pure Early
American! How did you do it?
1t looks so modern!"
This long preamble is to notify
you in big, bold print, that if you
like this style. if it suits you, buy
it. After buying it. decide how
you will use it.
Paper the walls in a dark green
or blue paper with a late French
toile motif. slightly empire in
motif placement, with a back
ground of dots and flowers, and a
foreground of small rural scenes

ished, it always retains a crisp
ness that gives it a fresh look.
There are now permanent finished
marquisettes and scrims. The new
rayons and nylon sheers are also
made up in ruff1ed styles, but
never give the crisp aspect the
true Early American style requires.
If you like them, reserve them
for a more formal type room.
Then. bring them from top of
window trim to floor, allowing
them to hang straight with the
ruff1es cascading beautifully at
the outside and inside line, or

tying them back at the right pro-
portional line.
Never break the curtain line in
half. Place your tie back little
above, or a little below the half,
and pull out the drapery and ad-
just the fullness and straighten
the outer line. In some cases, it
is necessary to tack this to the
window trim at intervals.
A window properly treated needs
to be as well groomed as a we'll
dressed woman.

you could place a tall cabinet,
hang one curtain as an Under
curtain, and tie back the top cur
tain of the crisS-cross style, plac-
ing the tie-back at the left Win
dow to the left, and the other at
the right, framing the wall.
These curtains are hung inside
the window close to the glass, and
just clearing the sill.
Fresh Look of Organdie.
Although ruffled tie-back cur
tains are not documentary, as they
came into popularity with the
sewing machine, tie-back curtains
are. and the ruff1es are something
soft that finish the edge and keep
the curtain from looking thin and
droopy.

z Danbury Physicians
Held Responsible
In Spinster' S Death
BY the Associated Press

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. July q
"A Danbury physician today was
accused of causing the death of
an elderly spinster with whom he
lived "in order to get her prop
erty."
In official findings filed in Su-
Iperior Court, resigned County
Coroner Theodore E. Steiber
charged DR.. Donald F. Gibson
"precipitated or caused" the death
of Miss Elizabeth M. Ayres, IA.
The report said another Dan
bury doctor. Dr. Frank Genovese
also was criminally responsible in
the death.
| Miss Ayres, who died a year
ago, made DR.. Gibson the sole heil
to her estate, estimated at $65,00C
to 100000.
/ Mr.. Steiber, whose report was
pre- dated before his June Is res
ignation and based on a lengthy
inquest held last summer. said the
evidence he heard warrants ar
indictment for homicide"
| However, the findings do not
Initiate prosecution. This would
have to be done by other authori-
ties.
The 11-page findings claimed
DR.. Gibson's motive not only wa
for property, but so he would "b'
unfettered in his marriage" tx
his Office receptionist, the former
Mrs. Frank Wetmore.
The 48-year- DR.. Gibson
married Mrs. Wetmore 10 day.
after the death Of Mrs. Ayers
with whom he had made hi!
home. He told newsmen at thu
time that he never promised to
wed Miss Ayres.
Mr.. Steiber's findings claimed
that on the day Miss Ayres died
Dr.. Genovese advised DR.. Gibson
that an intravenous injection
could prolong her life for few
days, but the injection was not
given.
This omission alone. the re-
port charged. is sufficient cause
to indict the doctors.
In Danbury. both physician
protested their innocence to news
men.
