More decorating help is avail
able to the homemaker than
ever before in pamphlets, deco
rating services, and information
available through newspapers
and magazines.
But often the homemaker
fails for lack of time, energy or
awareness to avail herself of
these services. Sometimes she
fails to interpret the informa-
ton so that 1t may be applied to
her special problem or purpose.
What are some mistakes made
in home planning?
A frequent one is the idea
particularly Of the young home
maker) that a great deal of
furniture is required to make a
coy home. This results in con-
fusion. It takes an expert deco
rator to deal with a huge guam
ity of furniture even when pieces
are important and a room is
large. Certainly then the aver
age neophyte decorator will have
difficulty combining and inte-
grating mass into space. A small
living room for instance, may
not even be receptive to a sofa.
But does one need a sofa If it
sticks out like a sore thumb?
No. But try to tell that to a
young couple bound by tradi-
ton. Even the romantic love
seat fails to intrigue them into
giving up the OUTSIDE sofa in
favor OF a smaller piece.
Aim for Integration
Color is another problem.
Wife likes blue. Husband likes
green. To please him she "buys
him something green" The
Ioverstuffed chair with matching
ottoman is usually the place
singled out for the man of the
family. 1t may not match any,
thing else but the couple sees it
only as an individual piece, not
part Of a unit.
Compromise is needed in fur
nishing the home. Color schemes
and furnishings must be dis
cussed and integrated before even
one purchase is made.
Many young couples shoot the
works" on the furniture and then
have nothing left for "softeners. +"
These, maintain, are as essen
tial as the whipped cream on the
right cake. Pillows for the sofa
for instance, to offer a cozier
invitation. pictures on the wall
to stamp personality on the room
final f1llip to a decorating prof.
ect.

Compromise Is Key
To Home Decoration

Some young people worry only
that there will be enough seats
in the living room as If every
day was for entertaining, so they
crowd the room with chairs
whereas all this could be solved
on those special occasions by
utilizing hassocks. fireplace stools
and large pillows, that will even
make the room look cozier. Three
or four pillows stacked up makes
a lovely. comfortable seat in
emergencies.
Bare walls are homely, yet may
be decorated easily. not with
costly paintings that the home
maker hopes to own some day,
but with personality portraits
Honeymoon snapshots. or a
group of babies famous firsts OF
portraits of the family in their
sports roles - horseback riding
skiing, ice skating may be
blown up and framed suitably,
making a lovely conversation
piece besides filling the need.

Separated Twins
Leave Hospital
By the Associated Press

Twin girls born joined at the
forehead and separated by a
possibly historic operation were
discharged yesterday from the
National Institutes of Health.
Their mother. Mrs. Raymond
Bunton Of Mountain City.
Tenn. took the girls from the
clinical center 10 months after
the delicate surgery that was
the girls only hope Of survival.
Virginia Kate and Teresa
Kay Bunton were brought here
in October. 1856. They were
four months old at the time Of
the operation. They were re-
ported in satisfactory condition
as they began their journey
home.
Details of the operation we're
disclosed last March by the
House Appropriations commit
tee when 1t made public testi-
mony on appropriations re-
quests Of the Public Health
Service.
The Bunton twins were
under study at the Health
Institute for a little more than
two months before the opera
ton in an effort TO determine
what caused the abnormality
and the possibility Of sepa-
rating them.

istration's goal Of efIecting mi
auctions 50 that pay raises
j will be feasible.
] While not directly commit
ting the administration IN favor
Of pay raises pointing out
that pay studies are now being
made--Mr. Brundage said that
such salary increases are being
given serious consideration.
From the way Mr.. Hrundaee
approached the subject and
from his reaction TO newsmen's
questions. the general impress
sion was that the administra-
ton would support classified
and postal employee pay raises
and military salary increases
next year.
Mr.. Brundage pointed out
that the cordiner report which
proposed civilian and military
pay raises was being given
strong consideration by the
administration.
He noted that the report had
not been acted on this year be-
cause the administration had
been against any pay raise this
year.
But Mr.. Brundage indicated
that through the present cut
backs Of military and civilian
personnel In the defense aeen-
cies and the continuation Of q
policy Of not filing personnel
vacancies unless urgently
needed. the administration
hoped to pave the way for ade-
Quate salaries for civilians and
military personnel.
Mr.. Brundage noted that the
cordiner Committee had pro-
posed salary increases in both
military and civilian pay in
lorder 70 retain and attract the
best possible personnel.
Mr.. Brundage stressed the
Cordiner findings that higher
grade Government salaries
especially are far behind indus
try's. But the political facts Of
life are--and the administra-
ton knows it--that Congress
would not approve higher grade
salary increases without also
raising the pay Of employees in
the lower and middle-grade
brackets.
He also noted that the adj
ministration expected to OBJ
tain an additional $500 to $500
million annual revenue next
year from an increase in postal
rates.
What the administration viii
propose to Congress next year
in the way OF classified and
postal pay raises probably will
depend In part on how much
higher the cost Of living climbs
between now and next January.
At the moment. the consensus
Is that. the administration win
propose q s per cent Increase
which is about the amount that
living costs have climbed since
the last Federal pay raise in
March. 1855. II living costs
climb another point or two be-
tween now and January, the
administration might be per-
suaded TO indorse . Z or ia
per cent pay raise.
Oddly enough, the first indi-
cation that the administration
would reverse itself next year
on its iron-clad opposition to
pay raise came from President
Eisenhower when he vetoed the
classified and postal employee
pay raise bills last month. The
President said that a special
pay study was being made by
the administration and If the
facts disclosed Justification for
q pay raise. such q proposal
would be made to Congress in
January.
And now. Mr.. Brundage's
more explicit statements make
1t more apparent that the ad-
ministration next year will in
dorse a Federal pay raise.
