Music Available
For Emphasizing
Mood And Decor

CHICAGO (UPD - Music has
long been used effectively in
the theater and in movies to
create and sustain moods. In
the home, it can be used to en-
iphasize mood and decor.
Although the average home
maker usually knows what type
of draperies or ashtrays to use
in her living room, she is often
a little uncertain about the
background music to use for a
party, says Allied Radio Corp,
Chicago, distributor of hi-fi com
ponents.
For example, currently popu-
lar Spanish decor becomes even
more dramatic when the warm,
earthly tones and dark, heavy
furniture associated with it are
accented with Iberian rhythmS.
Spanish Decor
Recommended for Spanish-in-
Spired decor are Alberto Alben-
liz Iberia" Chabrier's "Es-
pana," or Rimsky-Korsakov'
"Capriccio Espanol."
The room decorated in an
Early American theme is we'll
suited for Aaron C~opland's ZAP
palachian SPRING or Louis
GottSchalk'S "Cakewalk."
A French provincial setting
with its light, airy colors and
gracefully styled furnishings, is
the perfect place for a Claude
Debussy nocturne such as "Nu-
ages" "FeteS," or "Sirenes, !"
said the firm.
Contemporary homes can be
accented with modern compost
tons such as Igor Stravinsky's
"Rite of Spring or Prokofieff's
"Scythian Suite" If these are a
little too modern, the company's
music expert suggests Bach's
"Toccata and Fugue in D Mi
nor or Mozart's Symphony
No. 40 in G Minor" George
IGershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
also adapts well to a contem-
porary setting.
Traditional Home
In a traditional home or one
that blends the best of current
trends, Edward Grieg's "Peer
|Gynt Suite" and Sergei Rach-
maninoff'S variations on a
Theme by Paganini'' provide a
pleasant musical background.
The music adviser suggested
to homemakers who plan to
decorate with music" at the
next party:
Don't limit the tunes to just
those you have coordinated with
the decor.
"A Broadway score or jazz
arrangement alternated with
"mood music" offers a change
lof pace and additional en-
;%tertainment, two of the main
reasons for giving a party.

AS she checked out each two

ed the two sides covered with
cellophane together, forming a
box on both top and bottom
This sort of looks like a ham
burger with the meat inside,
and the cardboard portion like

She said this also keeps t h e
hamburger colder during til \
trip home.
The sweet gal also packed
our round steak, roast and all

So the next time you 60 to

might suggest it to her. Sure

When sewing up a knitted ar
