MODERNISTIC ROOMS FAST BECOMING MORE LIVABLE

Soft Colors, Gentle Lines Are Shown BY JULIA BLANSHARD. NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Jan. 2.—Modernistic art Is coming of age. This old year ended a decade of vital importance in developing an art expressive of the contemporary time, institutions and feeling of the people that live in it. The application of this new art to industry is one of the most interesting phases of the modem movement. It is the democratizing of the very idea of art. the desire to procure for the ordinary person a bit of that same satisfaction, in the inexpensive furniture, furnishings and clothing that he can afford, that the wealthy connoisseur enjoys in his masterpieces of art, museum furniture and priceless hangings. Rooms More Livable A milestone along the road of this new art-in-industry is marked by the current exhibition of the modem American Decorative Arts, its second annual event of this kind. This exhibition shows the growth of the idea during the past year. Lines are gentler, colors subtler, the whole effect far more pleasing than the rooms showed a year ago. There is a decided absence of the bizarre and arresting effects that characterized modem art at first. The four rooms exhibited look far more “livable” than last year's rooms did. And far more appealing. Eleven leading manufacturers have contributed to furnish these four rooms —bedroom, dining room, living room and lounge or cardroom. The cardinal principles of modern decoration may be found in its silver and gray wall paper and the use of rose gold curtains, bed cover and other decorations. The furniture itself is gray hair wood.

Modernism I* Feature Since beiges and tans have proved i so satisfactory for steady living pur- I poses, the living room Is done in J this tone, with browns of ruddy j glow, soft greens that one is in the habit of seeing against brown of deep woods. The overhangings, conventional in pattern-subject., are treated modernistically. The center curtain consists of a photographic print of a leaf design repeating in its pale tan shade the light brown of the draperies. A touch of modern informality is contributed by the studio daybed whose ends develop into small modernistic book cases. The modern idea may be found also in occasional chairs of aluminum finished in green leather, in a small table of black and green stained wood and in a touch of Vermillion in the lamp. Circular Shades Used Circular shades and distinctive stands modernize the lighting. Wallpaper, in a pale gray-brown, indefinitely patterned design, makes an Idea! background. The lounging room Is done in aluminum furniture, too, with leather coverings, in rich tones of autumn reds. The spiral lamps, the low ease of the chairs and the underslung effect of the entire furniture identify this room with things contemporary. One of the most interesting of all effects Is that produced in the dining room, with its use of checked window paning. plaid hangings and diamond squared wall paper. Colors of the gingham paper are tan. henna, blue and green, all of which are delightful on a bisque background. The windows are draped In delft blue, green and yellow and no glass curtains cut out the paned effect. Guest Meeting Held Officers’ Wives Club of the Indiana national guard and naval militia will entertain with a guest bridge party Monday at the Armory. Hostesses will be Mrs. William R. Kester. Mrs. Bert Wampler and Mrs. W. W. Peet. Daughter Honored Mrs. A. G. Gates, 1311 North New Jersey street, entertained with a tea dance Tuesday at the Proyplacum in honor of the birthday anniversary of her daughter. Miss Mary Alberta Gates. Twenty-four guests were entertained.

Excuses a man seems never to understand; explanations that are embarrassing. Women who have learned of Midol avoid these unpleasant experiences! Midol is not a narcotic, but it does banish the suffering which too often attends functional disturbances. It acts quite harmlessly, but effectively, on the organs affected. Safe, but swift; complete comfort comes in five to seven minutes. You will get this relief regardless of how hard a time you've always had. These wonderful tablets do nothing to hinder the normal, natural process, so its only common sense to use them. If you would spare yourself all suffering at this time, get Midol in a trim little case of aluminum for urae or pocket Fifty g-ents at any store. —AdverUiedr-nt

Complainer Usually Is Wrong Also BY MARTHA LEE Have you ever taken note of the fact that when a man is telling his troubles (or a woman for that matter) he invariably will go into detail about the ignominies he has suffered at the hands of his oppressor, without once touching upon anything he, himself, has done to bring about the situation? A man is having trouble with his wife. She has done this and that and she has said this and that and he can not stand it any longer. He w-ants to know what to do. Never once will be mention that previous to the time she had started to do these things, he had been neglectful, unkind, unfaithful, bigoted or ill tempered. A woman’s husband has caused her heart break and suffering. She writes, telling in minute detail, the wrongs she has been putting up with at his hands for several years. She wants to know s what to do. She forgets to write that she has become slovenly, allowed herself to be careless about her appearance around the house, run him in debt, refused to go places with him, become a clod conversationally, made it impossible for him to bring his friends to his home because she Is none too pleasant when they happen to drop around unexpectedly. And so on, far into the night. You know, if you sift the thing down to rock bottom, one person never is wholly responsible for any trouble or heartbreak. And any time you feel you are on the receiving end of the blow, don’t start enumerating all the things you can remember ’way back that your adversary has done to hurt you. Sit down. Start taking account of yourself. Somewhere, for some action or word, you have been at least partially responsible for these. And when you find the original reason, you invariably will find the “cure” for the whole business. Here's an example of what I mean: Dear Martha Lee—l have been married five years and have a little boy three. My husband is lalrlv successful, financially. We have a nice home and a large enough income to be comfortable. For the oast rear and a half. I have noticed a growing coldness toward me on the part of my husband. He is nice to me. but I sense that he does not love me anymore. I have no evideuce of the fact, but I am almost positive that he is being unfaithful to me. When I put the question to him, he denies it. But X am as sure of it as if he had admitted it. W r hen we first were married we were quite poor. I used to say if he ever made enough money that we could have a home of our own and nice furniture I would be tiappv. Now we have these things, and I realize I was much happier when I did , not have them. Miss Lee. I want to win my husband's love again. What can I do? DESPONDENT. The answer is there in the name with whichnFou signed your letter. Despondent. I'll bet you’re a cheerful little soul to have around the house. Listen, read your letter | over. Did you write a word that I was not a complaint. You condemn yourself when you say in so many | words that after you got what you wanted, you wished you had back again what you had before. The trouble is within yourself. Your I husband is o. k.. and pretty patient I at that.

He probably doesn’t love you because he is disgusted with you. You are a whiner, a complainer. a grumbler. You're never satisfied. No matter what he does, you wish you had this and you wish you had that. How about being grateful for some of the things you already have, just as a little surprise for him? Entertain With Dinner Beta Alpha Tau sorority entertained with a dinner Saturday night at Fastland farms. Guests included Miss Alma Scherrer. Miss Marguerite Field. Miss Lucille Field. Miss Eleanora Schatt. Miss Esther Hermann. Miss Helen Hueber. Miss Corinne Whelage. Arthur Beck, John Kirk. Harry Lord, Ray Steffen. Frank Otte, Edwin Banta, and Charles Limberg. Onion Tears If you pour boiling water over onions before you peel them your eyes will not smart while preparing them. Sleeve Boards With the Bishop sleeve and other fancy sleeves coming in again, the purchase of a tiny sleeve board is money weft spent.

PARIS, Jan. 2. jpARIS is backing up! As sure as you’re alive, she is, she- really is. Positively and absolutely backing up. After all, so few women have beautiful backs! ’n then of course, when they were quite chocolate colored, women and backs and all, they were a bit more interesting than they may have been before. But what with the taste for bronze being on the wane, and the inevitable need of change, one finds Miladi viewing with ennui her own bare back and that of her sister . . . and with interest the few startling decollete gowns that swoop, oh even farther than that down the front.

Most women welcome its return to fashion since it is a means of varying and simplifying one's wardrobe. Since the suit, tailored or in more formal mein, Is anticipated for spring to say nothing of being conspicuously among those present at the moment, the future of the blouse is assured. Only one needs to know what is expected of it. In most advance southern collections it is expected to contribute an effective contrast. Tuckins and overblouses are both admitted, the overblouses being decidedly abbreviated and made with an indented or nipped-in waistline. That the waistline is suggested by shirring of tucks is not surprising since this treatment found favor among dressmakers, that the waist is sometimes above normal is not to be wondered at either waistlines are inclined that way. The new blouses are nothing if not feminine, running to frills and furbelows and in some cases having abbreviated sleeves instead of being the more usual long or no-sleeve type. Fringed reverses, sailor or scarf collars and yokes are telling details repeated in representative blouse collections. Peplums, bows and broken belts lines, blouses and buttons make for further interest.
