A friend of mine in Ohio

This house has a good look

I have thought Of painting
this house a rye buff. Would
1t be advisable TO trim the
windows and possibly the
porch in Colonial red or
would the plain rye buff all
over be better?"
Dear G. N:
Why not paint it a definite
dove gray with white trim?
I think this would make the
house look smaller (than the
rye buff and be quite a
charming combination with
the red tile roof. Paint your
front door the same happy
red color as your roof.

Concealed Storage Areas

Today's designers are
obliged to be conscious of the
need for space. and must try
to put every bit to work.
Walls make the best start
ing point for space expansion.
In many modern homes, walls
are storage cabinets, music
boxes, sometimes even re-
freShment bars. Yet many of
these dual-purpose walls look
very much like ordinary
walls.
Concealing wall storage
compartments is easy when
working with paneled walls

doors can be tailored so that
they blend with the rest of
the paneling. Doors also can

A great gift that comes to

much in the opportunity to

1t lies in the possibility that
in shooting Of your mouth
you may say something that

There could be pay-dirt in
the comments of ]. c. Whit

I'm no liar. In fact. I've
gotten into trouble because I
stick up for the truth no

might do. Ina Just has to
have something to nag about.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We don't know If Dick is
a liar. In any case Ina has
done her husband and her
marriage a good deal. Of
harm. 1t is terribly important
for her husband to believe
she thinks well Of him. and
she has ripped him un-
mercifully.
II was not necessary for
Ina to let on to Dick that
she suspected him Of lying.
She should have overlooked
the whole thing. II Ina
could have built up Dicks
ego, she might have made q
new man of him.
Actually. 1na's digging into
her husband in a cruel way
reflects a, lack Of self
assurance. She seems more
interested in taking her hus-
band down a peg and point
ing out his faults than in
anything else. A self-assured
woman wants her husband
to be a big man and viii
automatically slur over his
faults.
Constant lying and exag-
geration Is an indication Of
trouble deep inside.
In the last analysis, each
Of us can only help our
selves and we need love and
encouragement from those
closest to US.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
o friend who says that a sure
way to be healthy is not to
mix foods. For example.
eating meat and potatoes at
the same time is bad. He
says that no starches should
be mixed with proteins. Is he
o food faddist. or what?
Mr.. E.. Chicago.
WE ARE ALL food faddists.
! think. at least to a small
degree. We have our idiosyn-
crasies when it comes to eat
ing and drinking. The strik-
ing difference between the
real faddist and us ordinary
folk is that we are content
to keep our ideas to our
selves; the faddist, on the
other hand. isn't happy
unless he is spreading the
gospel. He wants to convert
as many as he can TO his
special diet.
There is no basis in fact
for the belief that meat and
potatoes don't mix well. II is
impossible-for all practical
purposes-to eat the usual
American dishes without hav-
ing protein and carbohydrates
In some form. Why to sepa-
rate them? The stomach
isn't divided into special COM
partments for carbohydrates,
proteins and fats. 1t doesn't
contain a little shelf for the
vitamins you swallow.
All food and drink enters
one large receptacle. The
digestive Juices begin to flow.
and the strong stomach
muscles begin to churn.
Neither are there separate
pathways from the stomach
to the intestines for the
various types of foodstuffs.
People ask. Is it all right to

How about milk and pickles?
Is water all right taken with
