Some to Keep, Some to Throw Away

The other day. a friend and I
were calling on a mutual friend
and we looked at his picture
album. We exclaimed over how
good his snapshots were, every
one Of them.
Now, we know that snapshoot-
ing is easy and that most of the
time we get excellent results,
but every so often we slip a
little somewhere. Yet, this album
looked as though our friend must
do everything absolutely right 100
per cent of the time.
When we made a remark to
that effect he laughingly replied,
"Oh, think there are pictures to
be kept, and pictures to be thrown
away" He went on to say that he
always takes more than one shot
in any special situation-varying
the point of view, the distance, or
the composition. When he's using
an adjustable camera, he some
times tries different exposures.
Anyway, then he puts the best
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1954-09-24

pictures from each set in the
album. That way he achieves the
effect of always being right.
Being sentimental about pic
ture subject material, ! asked him
about the times when he has only
one picture Of a subject that is
dear to him and the snapshot just
isn't quite up to snuff photo
graphically speaking. '''Do you
throw those away?", I asked. His
reply was in the negative-indeed
not. Those he keeps for his per-
sonal enjoyment, or for sharing
with some one who is equally
interested in the subject. II just
don't wish them off on people who
have only a general interest in
my pictures"
I think he's got a pretty good
point there-one that can apply
just as well-or even better-to
the color slides and home movies
we project for our friends.

It is entirely possible for you
to look from five to 10 years
younger just eight short weeks
from now. Every January / offer
my readers my Eight Week Self
Improvement Marathon. The
idea is to see how much you can
improve yourself in eight weeks
time. under my direction.
Today want to give you some
general rules about dieting. You
should hold your daily calorie
intake to from 1900 to 400
calorieS. Never eat more than
400 calories daily. Whether you
consume 1400 or hold it to 1900
a day depends on your own
metabolism and physical activity.
You can discover the answer
for yourself. Start with 1400 and
weigh at the end of the first
week. If you have lost two and a
half or more pounds. continue. If
not, cut back to 1900 a day.
Let me give you two warn
ings. First, it is useless and dis
couraging to weigh every few
days. Weigh in only at the end of
each week. You may diet faith
fully for a few days with no
resulting loss and then suddenly
find that you have lost three or
four pounds.
Always weigh at the same
time and in the nude. / think it
is best to weigh as soon as you
get up in the morning just after
going to the bathroom.
1 cannot offer this Marathon
often because of the tremendous
mail it brings. Even with an
extra staff of secretaries you may
have to wait a while for the
Marathon booklet. Begin Mara
thon as soon as you receive the
material. In the meantime you
can start dieting if you wish.
Tomorrow in this column I will
tell you how to build good
reducing diet.

CHICAGO, Ill.-A wealth Of
new designs appear in every
thing from furniture. fabrics,
carpets and lamps, to kitchen
and laundry equipment in the
lines of home furnishings being
displayed at The Merchandise
Mart.
Color. we have found. is one
of the most exciting features of
the new designs. Where high
color was formerly introduced in
room decoration by accessories
or fabrics, it is now not only in
furniture. but pots, pans and
dinnerware. 1t is contraSted with
white. black or a combination of
both. One new grou POT Chinese
modern is lacquered black and
white.

and cabinets of brilliantly lac
Quered wood combined with
white plastic and black steel.
One line of metal bed frames is
lacquered in emerald green. sky

brilliant upholstery fabrics in
blue green's. bright yellows and
pinkish reds lend interest. and
much leather upholstery is col
ored in such shades as del
phinium blue, sienna gold. black
berry and sea green. OF course.
there are milder tones for those
who prefer them.
Also of interest are the ma
terialS of which the. new furni-
ture is made. Besides wood,
metals and plastics, leather is
used in component parts of
furniture as well as to cover 1t.
You'll see it used as the woven

entire chest even to the doors.
White porcelain drawer and door
pulls are quite in evidence, and
slate, marble and glass continue
to be shown. One noted designer
has created accent tables with
heavy marble tops that are price
less. The only drawback here is
the fact they are so heavy the
head of the house and perhaps a
helper would have to move them.
AS far as metals are con-
cerned. brass leads the field in
medium and higher-priced fur
niture. 1t is used completely as
structuarl supports. trimming.
banding or inlay. Wrought iron
continues popular in the display
with the moderniStic furniture.
Walnut. cherry and birch are
leading in the woods, with ma

Dull, rubbed surfaces are ia
vored over the high gloss.
Furniture is generally built
lower to the floor. The lines are
simmer and more delicate. The
fabrics are smoother. like silks,
linens and nylonS. Furniture
