number has been listed as
from one to five.

The reason you read so
much advice on plain and
patterned problems is that
many people use too many
patterns at one time, so
magazines keep plugging
away at the ".use Of a plain
fabric with a patterned rug,
ETC."
AS a matter of fact, you
can use a small pattern with
a large pattern, q stripe with
q small print but to be on
the safe side, it's better to
have too much plain" than
too much pattern"

Gould I use a marble top

Dear Miss G. H.:
OF course, provided it is
generous enough to be prac-

very smart. That is the best
about contemporary furni-
ture, it has no Snob appeal.
It will mix with anything

No. I'm sure the various
