trio cabinet-top stove with a big
kitchen fireplace. In fact, the oven
is set into the wall right next to
the fireplace! When she doesn't
feel like cooking on her electric
burners, Mrs. carp can hang a
pot in her fireplace and make
stew over a wood fire.
The floor of this room is made
of tile shaped and colored like
brick. The fireplace is thanked by
a wooden bench and an antique
rocker. A wooden dining table
sits little back from the fire.
Even in building a toolshed,
the Earps carried out their an
tique American theme. Mr.. carp
built the shed of redwood, with
a peaked, wooden shingled roof
The roof has an overhang as deep
as the shed, providing a shady
place for the children-4.year-old
Jane and her 10-month-old brother
to play.
Mr.. Earps current project is to
finish a large screened porch he's
adding to the back of the house.
But the couples plans for expan-
sion don't stop there-the attic
and basement haven't been start
ed yet. The main floor of the
house has two bedrooms, but they
plan to make two more rooms
and an additional bath in the at
tic. And the basement will con-
tain recreation room, as soon as
higher-priority projects are fin
iShed.

Interiors With Ideas
Lnteros Wth IdeQs
Williamsburg Village Couple Use
Blowtorch to Antiq ue' New Ceiling

Would you like to give the
beams in your ceiling an antique
finish, without going to the trou-
BILE of vanishing them? Then
smoke them with a blowtorch--
that's what Mr.. and Mrs. Harold
carp, Jr., of Williamsburg Viii
lage, did.
When the Earps bought their
home in the Olney subdivision a
year and half ago, they want
ed to carry out the Old Williams
burg style of the house in the
living room. The combination
kitchen-dining room came with a
beamed ceiling, but the living
room didn't.
1--WE felt that the plastered cell
ing made the living room too
formal in contrast with the dining
ROOM" Mrs. carp says, $50 we
had the builder beam it too. The
ceiling itself was of new wood
and the beams were secondhand"
They didn't want the wood cell
ing to have the shiny look that
comes with varnish or stain, so
they borrowed an idea Mrs.
Earps father had used in his
home, and smoked the wood with
a bloWtorch.
1--WE did it before the house
was completely finished, so it
didn't smoke up the walls or the
furniture" she explains.
The Earps bought no new
furniture when they moved in.
Most of their furniture had been
in their families, and they refin-
ished and recovered it. To fill in,
they got few pieces in the same

It was like turning back again
to a cherished but long ignored
volume to hear the Brahms "Pi-
ano Concerto in D minor which
closed last nights concert in
Constitution Hall. Under Eu-
gene Ormandy. the Philadelphia
Orchestra, with the renowned
British pianist Solomon, gave
the work a performance as close
to perfection as I have heard.
Bored and blase talk, along
with the trials of too many and
too hackneyed performances. can
be binding to the beauties OF
a masterpiece. But fashionable
reactions against familiar music
can be just as stultifying as the
too frequent repetitions that
spark these reactions. A per-

can do much to restore a works
rightful place, provided it isn't

Mr.. Ormandy seemed to domi-
nate last nights performance,
but not without good reason.
Risking stormy protests from
pianists, I would like to suggest
that, although the piece is a
warhorse of the piano repertoire,
the important current of the
music belongs to the orchestra.
The piano has many very diff
cult and a few musically satisfy
ing passages to play, but the
really grateful writing is for the
orchestra.
Solomon is one of the top
ranking pianists of our day, and
his performance bore out that
reputation not only with tech

control, but with an artistry that
