Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

For some time now many
women have been aware of the
fact that it is smart to use be-
coming colors in the decoration
of their bedrooms and drawing
rooms. It's wonder we did
not think of this years ago. be-
cause if the shade of dresses
or hats or makeup are Important,
certainly the wall behind us or
the chair we sit in, also is.
Now a new idea pops up! You
should try on your furniture
before you buy it just like you
do your clothes. Mr.. Harry
Vakassin, New York designer of
modern furniture, explained this
notion to me.
He said. IF a woman is long
legged or slim she should pass
up the low, deep. treacherously
soft couch or chair, even
though she thinks it will look
well against her living room
decor.

her furniture becomes her as
that it suit the room it is in.
Women understand that hat or
fur piece is meant to frame the
face and improve it. The same
principle applies to furniture. ;"
Mr.. Vakassin was a pioneer in
changing the bulky angularity
of modern furniture to slim ele-
gance and softly rounded curves.
He was moved in this direction
by watching otherwise graceful
femmes struggle painfully to get
out of chairs and sofas which
were too deep. He remembers one
party where small woman who
had been sitting all evening
curled up in a big chair got a
charley horse trying to get out
of it.
Harry VakasSin takes this
into consideration in his designs.
Some pieces are for small women
and others for tall ones and a
recent design features a sofa
with double foam rubber-back
cushion. One layer can be re-
