in the predawn darkness,
 The atmosphere became uncanny - electric. Uncle Nayukuk had felt this same atmosphere in previous times but he felt it more keenly that morning. It was the kind that raised the hair on the back of ones neck.

Upholstery Takes
Variety Of Shapes

particular appeal for the
homemaker who would like to
do a piece-by-piece redecorat-
ing Job. She can feel perfectly
free to replace a single chair
or even add a large sofa in a
style quite different from
pieces already In the room,
provided she Is careful to
maintain the mood, casual or
elegant, that already keynotes
the rooms scheme.
Question: Please help me
with the color scheme for my
living room. Carpet is medium
mauve color and walls and
cornice boards will be painted
to match In a very pale
mauve. The fireplace Is Texas
pink granite. What color dra-
peries should I have? What
color for sofa and two chairs?
/ prefer a solid color that is
not too light.
Answer: Cover the sofa in
an avocado or celadon green
and the two chairs In mauve.
Draperies could be pale
mauve Of walls or a print in
a mauve ground with pink,
green and some yellow. Toss
pillows for sofa could be in
pink and rich green.

One Of the more intriguing
developments In furniture
design In recent years has
been the great variety Of
shapes in upholstered furni-
ture. During a period when
cabinet pieces have often
been restricted to the simple,
the straight and the square, it
Is the upholstery, oddly
enough, which often has pro-
vided the interest.
Of course this has always
been true Of the extra wood
backed occasional chair,
which for centuries has been
used to inject a sprightly,
sculptural note into a room.
But not until the advent Of
more modern filings have
fully upholstered pieces had
the same type Of individuality
and character.
A recently introduced filling
Is Kodel polyester fiberfill.
This material can take on an
appearance of soft downy
cushions or the more tailored
look Of tightly stretched ma
terials over foam foundations.
Unlike the former, it does not
mat down and require persist
ent Pumping. And 1t Is also
said to avoid a frequent dis
advantage Of foam In that It
does not shift under the COW
ering.
The introduction Of such
new inner materials for sofas
and chairs has proven to be
the final step in the demise Of
the old-fashioned suite, in
which a large puffy sofa and
two identical chairs duplicat-
ed one another undressing
ly, offering comfort, but little
or no visual appeal.
TOday's approach Is quite
different. One rarely even
finds a pair Of easy chairs, let
alone one matched exactly to
the sofa. Unity is achieved by
the subtle use of color CO
ordination, the planning Of
which becomes increasingly
important when color must
bear the burden Of continuity.
This new trend should have

Some Of the styled Christ
mas trees placed on the
market In recent years are
attractive and colorful, with
trunks Of plastic, glass or
aluminium and branches look
ing like silky plumes of silver,
gold, green or blue.
There's quite q lot Of differ
ence from the old-faShioned
spruce you either buy or cut
down yourself In the woods.
And one big difference is the
new synthetic trees are safer.
I bring 1t up to help focus
attention on the fact that a
dried-out evergreen is a real
fire hazrad. As long as this is
realized, and as long as mea-
sures are taken to prevent a
blaze. your Christmas should
be as safe as it Is jolly.
You can do q great deal
toward restoring the normal
moisture content (and making
the needles stay on much
longer by standing your tree
outdoors In a pail Of water
for three or four days. It will
speed up the absorption If
you give the bottom Of the
trunk a long, slanted cut so
as to expose as much bare
wood as possible.
When you set it up, use a
stand with a cup. Keep this
cup filled with water, and the
trees needles will be greener,
as well as safer.
Another simple safety step
Is to spray the tree, before
bringing it indoors, with a
saturated solution of borax in
water. BY no means Is this a
true fireproofer, but 1t does
help.
The new cool light bulbs are
a great safety development.
What an enormous advance
from the days when trees
were decorated with candles.
For the Birds
Another type Of Christmas
tree decoration is, literally,
for the birds. Around New
York and New England, I've
! often seen trees hung with big

loops Of cranberries and pop
corn as a holiday treat for
chickadees, nuthatches, tit
mice, wintering goldfinches
and similar birds.
A couple Of months ago I
heard about a very nice var
iation on this in Bismarck,
N. Oak. The temperature
there goes over 100 in mid
summer and past 50 below In
midwinter-with stiff winds,
too.
l was discussing this with a
builder and somehow got on
the subject Of the tough
times the birds must have
during periods Of deep snow
and high winds. His parents
came from the East, so he
remembered the Christmas
tree-for-the-birds. ''But," he
said, Some of the school kids
here do 1t differently. This is
more sunflower country than
cranberry, so they'll sew
strings Of sunfIower seeds
and, brother, do the birds 60
for that"
More Sofety Tips
Here are a few more steps
to assure the safest possible
Christmas:
Anchor the legs Of the tree
stand with heavy weights to
prevent tipping.
Never leave the house with
the tree lights on.
Carefully inspect the insula-
ton on all the electric light
cords. II there Is a frayed or
broken section either throw
this out completely II there
are several such weak spots
in the same cord) or at least
carefully wrap the danger
spots with plastic electricians
tape.
Keep a fire extinguisher
spray bomb or at least a pail
of water at hand.
Most important, tell every
member Of the family there's
a beautiful fire hazard In the
house and lay down safety
rules.

Serve those too weak to labor
Cheer hearts that quail before

famiIy's likes are what count if

That's the advice of w. c.

home furnishings expert.
According to Kaufman, you
can learn to recognize the quail
ties you like in pictures by visit
ing galleries and other exhibits.
Look at many different works be-
fore you make a choice for your
home.
The more you look, the better
you will be able to put your fin
ger on "the some thing" that al
ways draws you to a picture.
The qualities you most enjoy
are the ones you can probably
best live with.

Think and Act
On Your
Landscape Now

Assoc. County Agent Ed Ralph
advises that this is a good time
to make mental and written notes
on deletions or additions for your
landscape. University Of Della
ware specialists suggest that you
recall the past summer and think
OF the area which did not get
shade where you desired 1t last
year. Another good idea, they
point out, Is to consider PLAN
ming substantial wind protection
II your property Is large enough.
For this, you should know the
good dectduous and/ FOR evergreen
varieties desirable for wind pro-
lection.
Practical suggestions for les
sentng maintenance include: re-
ducing or eliminating unneces-
sary paintings, using shrubs ra-
ther than perennial flowers, and
choosing plants, shrubs and trees
known to do well In your parti-
cular soil type. For good land
scaping, get your ideas on paper,
and look at and obtain nursery
catalogues.
Before you make any definite
decision on what landscape ma
terials you should use, check with
your local nurseryman or the
Sussex County Extension office
to find out what has performed
satisfactorily in your locality.
Be sure the plants they recon-
mend fit your type of soil. Ralph
explains that good planning leads
to good landscaping.
