Governor de Castro COM
pletely ignored the Old Time
Christmas Festival which was
held in st. Croix December %

that a special invitation was
sent him dated December 5,
1852. The invitation asked that
he and Mrs. de Castro come to
celebrate at least part of the
time between the two dates
mentioned.
Replying to the invitation
His Excellency stated in part:
Our plans for the holiday sea-
son are, for the most part, in
definite as we may or may not
take a vacation during that
period. However, as soon as |
receive your schedule Of plans
for the celebration, / shall be
able to advise you more de-
fnitely." The schedule was
sent.
So far as could be learned
the festival was not mentioned
in the press of St. Thomas.
Many recalled that when the

val recently the st. Croix
press went all out, editorially
and otherwise, to support it.

/ Exterior Materials Move to Inside of House
By Gladys Miller

What was merely an expert
ment year ago has now become
one of the most important trends
in architecture and interior
house design: The use inside the
house of what are ordinarily
considered outside materials.
Proof of the public's accept
ance of this development lies
in its great growth. One aspect
is the economy in house con-
struction when the outside wal
continues right through to the
interior. as in the case of the
cut-stone exterior wall which
turns into a fireplace wall in
doors.
Another influence along this
line stems from the desire for
small, easy-to-care-for homes
that still seem spacious. Archi-
tects and designers are achiev-
ing this effect by utilizing the
grounds around the house for
living areas in such a way that
they become integral parts Of
the home.
For example, a flagstone ter
race will not stop at the door,
but continues into the hallway
or foyer. with smooth waxed
stone replacing the more irregu-
lar flags for the interior. An
indoor dining room may have
stone flooring that is repeated
for an outdoor dining terrace.
This technique. coupled with the
use Of large window areas, often
seems to double the side of a
room.
Strating with this, great re-
vival in the use of natural stone
indoors is forecast. Stone is
available in so many colors and
textures that home planners are
finding it a constant source of
inspiration. And since modern
radiant heating methods remove
the onus of cold" floors, stone
will appear more and more to
add to beauty. fire resistance,
and permanence of modern
structures.
These floors are partially COW
cred with woven floor covering
where personal taste and custom
dictate. Usually the choice is a
carpet contrasting in texture and
color. These interiors are gen.
orally architectural in their in
terror design Interpretation.
The furniture selected is either
built-in Or gives a built-in ap-
pearance. Partitions divide the
space according to the use to
which each is to be put. The

window wall will be curtained
with draw curtains the color of
the main walls. Often valance
or cornice lighting will be in
stalled to maintain light in this
section at all times. Portable
lamps supplement architectural
lighting wherever they are es-
Sential.
All materials used will COM
pliment each other in color and
texture and decorative advan-
tage will be taken of the natural
appearance of each material.
In these homes, you will no
tice that a few larger pieces of
movable furniture. supplement-
ing the built-ins, serve the living
needs of a family admirably.
