ASK
DOROTHY
DRAPER

Today I am going to be q
thief and steal a headline
from an ad appearing in a
national magazine. "Imagi-
nation hits the ceiling" And
isn't it about time? Most
of us worry about the side
walls and automatically treat
the ceiling as unimportant
just something to be taken
care of and forgotten.
The ad showed an acous-
teal ceiling. but the idea
could be copied with ordi-
nary paint and wallpaper. A
medallion border and a CEN
ter square motif in green
used with white paint could
create a whole new look to
any ordinary green room.
A ceiling painted a bright
marigold color Immediately
perks up white walls. And if
you use matching marigold
window shades you'll have
the start of a room that will
look fresh and different.
Try straw mating on the
ceiling instead of the floor
to give a porch or informal
room an airy pleasant
thatched roof look.
A lattice-work Of laths
painted an intriguing color
could transform a high cell
ing that offered nothing in
to a room charmer.
Papering a ceiling in
checks, plaids or stripes or
using wallpaper cut-outs to
sprinkle over it may be Just
the touch that problem room
of yours needs. So get start
ed! It's time to let your i'm
agination hit the ceiling"
Mrs. E. d. asks:
What color would you
suggest for wall to wall car
peting to go with the follow
ing: a sample of draperies in
enclosed. Walls are light
green, natural woodwork,
chair and sofa are gray. One
wine chair. Furniture walnut.
Chairs in dining area have
seats covered with light and
dark green stripes. There is
a large picture window in the
living room, two small win
dows in the dining part Of
the room"
Dear Mrs. E. D.:
The bright green of the
leaf in your vivid curtain
fabric would be the only
choice for your carpeting.
ENID. asks:
MY back bedroom which
is occupied by my two sons
sorely needs a new look. The
enclosed piece is the floor
covering which cannot be
changed. The woodwork is
golden oak color and grained
and that cannot be changed.
I've had this room painted
first cream color, and for the
past three years it has been
old ivory. The twin beds are
maple. What would you ad-
wise for the walls?"
Dear E. NJ. d:
1t certainly is time to get
away from your cream and
"old ivory" Why not give
the boys" a treat Of tangy
tangerine, bright green, or
the red, all visible in your
striped floor sample?

he has had to work With in five
years. He plans to operate, as
he did last year, uslrg three
units in rotation. In this rotating
plan. he found combination that
produced % touchdowns last year
and close to three thousand Yards
on offense. W&L will move the
ball from their double -barrelled
Go T" formation which is a
combination of the T formation
and the single wing. The Gen
erals are handicapped for size,
having no real big men on the
squad but are more than able to
make UP for it in depth and ex-

The Tigers will be operating
from the split T formation as
they have in the past. After a
