MIX PSYCHOLOGY WITH COLOR IN YOUR HOME, SAYS EXPERT

Consider the Feeling of a Room Before You Choose, Mrs. Thomas’ Advice. By Virginia Swain NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 17—Tone, mass and color are the three graces of home decoration, and the greatest of these is color. Divorces may not have been caused by bad color combinations, but it is sound phychology to suppose that many a quarrel has taken added violence from a clash of pink and red in the wall paper. Decorators have found that they must consult psychology as well as art in chooosing colors for the home. And especially in decorating for the spring and summer must they search their color charts for shades that are sunfast and suitable to the season. / Among decorators exhibiting rooms at the Architectural and Allied Arts Exposition is Mrs. Amie Thomas, known for her skill in building color schemes for unity without monotony. Moods in Color “Consider the feeling of a room," is her first admonition. “What mood do you want it to induce? What colors suggest your own most becoming moods? Those are the shades to use in your home.’’ Fortunately, the old scheme of one-color rooms is passing out. The old green parlor, with its brilliant grass-green wall paper, its sea-green carpet and its upholstery in various shades of faded green is a horror of twenty years ago. The day of mission rooms and brown oatmeal paper is also gone. Today, the smart room has variety of color, and some brilliance. The muted shades once thought so elegantly conservative are now recognized to be only commonplace and uninteresting. “Probably the easiest scheme for the amateur decorator,” says Mrs. Thomas, “is to take some single itemof the decoration, a wall paper, a mixed chintz or an object of art, which has enough colors in it to furnish a color motif for the whole room, and build up the room around It. “Excellent effects have heen gained by choosing a picture of lovely color, to hang in a central place, and harmonizing every other object with it.

Chintz Affords Variety “Chintz offers a delightful variety of color combinations, and furnishes a keynote for the other furnishings. Wall paper may be used in the same way, as in the room exhibited at the exposition.” This room is an eighteenth century dining room, done in autumn ehades drawn from the scenic tv all paper. The red, amber and yellow tones of the foliage in the landscape paper are repeated throughout the decoration. A dull green rug furnishes the right contrast for the warmer tones. Sheraton and Heppiewhite furnituie in San to Domingo mahogany, inlaid with satinwood, supplies the reddishbrown shades to suit the paper. Even in the chandeliers there are amber drops among clear white crystal. Asa table center piece in such a room, yellow roses in a green glass bowl are very lovely. The candles are tall, pale yellow tapers, set in squatty amber glass holders. “For summer furbishing, the new chintzes and cretonnes offer the most delightful mode of introducing color,” says Mrs. Thomas. Use Brightness Sparingly “You will And the brightest colors used in the smallest quantities, and the paler, or duller tones used more lavishly. This same treatment is the safest to follow in any scheme of decoration. “Use bright tints sparingly, as accents. Use pale tints for background and restful contrasts.” An old rule-of decoration that still holds good is that if a color appears anywhere in the room, it should appear in at least three place, preferably at some little distance from one another, to bring all parts of the room into harmony. It is best to introduce into the room touches of every color in the rainbow, always bearing in mind that the dominating colors must dominate. For summer, simple, ruffled draperies, flounced slip covers and counterpanes of chintz cretonne, percale or gingham, will give the desired effect of brightness and airiness. Mix Plainness and Patterns But in using highly patterned fabrics, Mrs. Thomas warns, one must be careful to employ plain surfaces elsewhere in the room, to avoid confusion of design. The secret of successful decoration for the amateur lies in simplicity and a rigid observance of harmony in line, mass and color. “The expert designer,” she says, “may be able to work out his own futurist patterns for homes, with success. But the housewife who cannot employ an expert would do well to stick to the graceful furniture of old periods. “Futurist, Spanish, Italian, Moorish interiors may do in large city homes, but for the small town house or ths country place or 'tiny apartment, the simple appointments of early American, eighteenth century English or French provincial, are far more workable.”

YES, GIRLS MUST USE SEX, IF THEY SUCCEED Business Men Won’t Hire Us Otherwise, Say Group —They Like Us Dumb, Is Plaint. 4 By Mary R. Farmer Must a girl use the appeal of her sex to advance in business .’ Is she justified in playing up to the boss, dressing to catch his eye, or petting a little if he demands it? Is the average business man a hypocrite decrying sex in business with great gusto but secretly getting a thrill from it?

“Yes,” choruses a group of Indianapolis business girlfC who were caught discussing them with much fervor recently. They lake Dumbbells You notice we say business “girls.” And here is the opinion of an older one too: "Never,” she says, “have T forced any man to confess that he likes sex in his office. They tell what dumbbells Cheir stenographers are, how they can not spell and how all they think about is patting their hair into place and powdering their noses. And how they come in late every morning because of their heavy date the night before. “But don’t let a man fool you,” she goes on. “That’s the way he wants it. While he dictates his letters he is delighted to have his mind half diverte<Kby the curve of a leg of the line of a graceful neck. They pat themselves on the back and tqjk themselves into thinking they are martyrs for enduring inefficient stenographers. Let a dried-up persimmon of a woman, who doesn’t know what sex appeal means but who is a knock-out stenographer, come into an office for a job and she goes out almost quicker than she got in.” Don’t Want Intelligence Os the girls who answered the questions .with an emphatic “yes," one of them said, “Os course I use sex in business. How else could I

eventually get to the top? But men, even in buiness don't want intelligence from a woman. They will take it and use it, but only when it is sandwiched between thick slices of sex appeal. That’s what they want and that’s what I them.” Another thought: At A girl can be late, she can mislay letters, she .can be ignorant of the simplest spelling, but a dress with a low neck and a feminine frill, a pair of sheer stockings and a shy smile will choke down the reprimand in the mouth of any male employer.” After all, and combined with the fact that I’m accused of being a man-hater, I don't think men are such fools as these stenographers believe them. We’ll always wonder just how much of it is so. TO GIVE MOVIE The Parent-Teacher Club of John Strange School of Washington Township will give a picture show at the schoolhouse at 7:45 p. m., Friday.
