There are many ways to
relieve the monotony of a
severely modern room, and
to lend interest to what (be-
cause of its plainness) could
be dull furniture. One is by
subtle variations of texture.
The other is by exploring the
possibilities of using a num-
Der of different types of ma
terials.
The Japanese are particu-
larry adept at the first of
these. understanding the Wis
ual pleasure that can come
from using side by side
rough straw, polished wood,
slick silks. slightly textured
rice papers, the heavy tex
ture of woven bamboo.
Those or us in the West
ern Hemisphere widen the
possibilities even more great
ly by utilizing such diverse
materials as glass, metals
Smooth, braided or mold
ed, and stone of various
types including slick marble.
These appear not only in the
structure of the room and
its furniture but act as sur
face ornamentation.
CoIors Competitive
When this approach to
decoration is selected, all
other ornamentation should
be avoided. Fancy or fanciful
shapes, carvings and mold
ings have no place in such a
scheme. Nor has vibrant
color. 1t is too competitive
and the emphasis should be
on quiet neutrals.
Perhaps the most interest
ing of the new surfaces on
modern furniture are those
made Of metal, most often
bronze. Bronze plaques with
abstract designs raise d
slightly make stunning table
tops, almost within the realm
of fine art. Similar plaques
have been attached to cabi-
net doors, again giving the
impression of a work of art,
framed by the wood Of the
cabinet.
A more unusual applica-
ton used by q well-known
decorator was to have a ia
Die base fashioned of welded
bronze members in q free
form shape with o glass top
that gave a clear view of this
avant garde sculpture pedes-
tai.
A more restrained version
had squarish legs with a flo
raj device raised from the
surface. On this large table,
the glass top was also framed
in a broad band of plain

Enactment
Indicated for
Equal PuyB Bill.

Prospects appear bright for
final enactment this year Of a
bill to equalize the pay Of men
and women doing similar work
which passed the Senate yes
terday without a roll call.
The House Education and
Labor Committee has approved
a companion measure and will
file its report in the House. The
next move will be to get clear
ance from the Rules Commit
tee for House action.
The Senate bill would apply
to those industries which are
already covered by the Fair
Labor Standards Act, whic h
regulates minimum wages and
extra pay for overtime. This
bill adds a new ban on wage
differentials based solely on sex.
The Senate bill would still
permit men and women to be
paid at different rates, h o W.
ever. on the basis Of seniority
or piecework. 1t also would give
the Secretary of Labor some
discretion to make exceptions
where he finds that an employ
er would be penalized economi-
cally by eliminating differen-
tials.

in a perfect horizon. and it
seemed almost as though a
step beyond might mean q
step off into space.
Inside, the feeling Of fanta-
