CONTRASTS IN COLORS FEATURE INTERIOR DECORATION

Home Made ‘Stunning ’ by New Effects BY JULIA BL AN SHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Interior decoration schemes, like new spring clothes, are making use of contrasts In materials, contrasts In color, contrasts in different periods of furniture, to effect stunning results. If you have good taste, certainly with such limitless opportunities for individuality you can achieve rooms devastatingly lovely in color and material combinations. If you haven’t good taste, and know it, you will go slow on trying to create an over amount of contrast in color or in types of furniture. For a quiet room that is not quite right Is far less trying than a noticeably not-quite-right gaudy one. Chance to Be “Different” There is something challenging about this new wide range of choice allowed one in rooms. You can start out with a piece or two of modem furniture, combine them with a comfortable antique upholstered bed and a very Frenchy, feminine type of curtain. Even your wall paper can be something different from what one might expect. French Provincial furniture and modern are, used together in some rooms, a bit of early American and a decorative touch of Louis XV. And the more you manage to combine plain and figured materials in a given room, the more you select home-spun for this, a pretty touch of quilted silk for that, the.richer your ensemble. Start With Bedroom A good plac* to begin experimenting with a lot of new materials and a few new pieces of furniture, is your own bedroom. You know more what you want in this room than any other room in the house. You know what colors you would like, what would make you cheerful and rested. Cjuite in excellent example to go by Is a room that uses a most modem dressing table and chair, with several quite diqerent types of things. The dressing table, with its crystal lighting and long, comfortable mirror, is made of contrasting woods, with handy drawers on both sides and one big drawer below the mirror. The chair, with its golds, brown; and rose upholstery, looks comfortable enough to make any one want to doze immediately. Quilted Design Carried Out The old-fashioned studio couch is covered with the most delectable quilted silk cover, in the rose tone that is softest and most appealing with browns and tan. The little stool for the dressing table is covered in the same quilted design. 0 For curtains, one of the new rayon prints is used, in a beautiful blue tone deep enough to go with tans and brown and light enough to make the rose in the room look better. These curtains have a patterned design not unlike the quilting design of the couch cover, though it is not the same design at all. All this richness is used in a room that has one of the new diagonally striped metal papers, this one a tangold that has a cosiness about it that makes it perfect for so intimate a 'room as a bedroom.

What’s in Fashion?

Dresses for Different Types Directed By AMOS PARRISH

THREE SPRING SILHOUETTES: Left, bell; center, straightline; right, peplum.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Nobody can say she can’t wear this spring’s dresses! Because with all the variety there is in silhouette, there isn’t any type figure that won’t look well in something that’s fashionable. By silhouette, of course, we mean the outline or shadow the dress makes when it’s on. For example—look at the sketches and you can see that the outline of .he skirt on the dress at the left is quite different from that on the dress in the center. The silhouette of the dress at the left flares out at the sides. The one in the center is straight. And they’re both different from the silhoutte of the dress at the right, which is straight in the skirt, but widened at the hips. You’ve been seeing dresses for two or three seasons that flare like the one at the left. The bell silhouette, it’s called. Still fashionable, because so many women, find it so becoming. The very straightline silhouette in the center is newer. The fullness has been dropped out of the sides and put in the middle of the front, so it doesn’t bell out like the other. The third silhouette is one you’ve seen before, too. But this last winter, the tunic or peplum section was usually longer and not quite as flared. The bell silhouette is one that

the French designer, Vionnet, uses a lot. It has a graceful sweep of line that’s becoming to the average or slender figure. But the side fullness isn’t quite as becoming to the full figure as a straighter line skirt—because it makes her look wider. As we explained, by “silhouette” is meant only the outline of the dress. So you’ll find dresses that have this bell silhouette, but that have very different details from the dress sketched. Many will have cowl necklines, because the draping of the cowl neckline goes particularly well with this skirt. They may have short or threequarter sleeves instead of long ones as sketched. They don’t have to have the one-sided cape effect—and they might have a cape over both shoulders. The important thing is that dresses with the bell silhouette will have the skirt fullness placed so they bell out at the sides. The center sketch, or straightline silhouette, shows the type dress used so often by Jean Patou. In this, too, you’ll find infinite variety of detail. In the sketch, for instance, the pleats are stitched down to within a few inches of the bottom. Lots of straightline dresses will have pleats released much higher up than this. Some won’t have

Miss Nichols said. Entertain at Dance Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lanam, Franklin, will entertain tonight with a dance in honor of the birthday anniversary of their daughter Margaret at the Franklin Country Club. Guests will include active and alumnae members of the Franklin college chapter of Pi Beta Phi, of which Miss Lanam is president. Miss Barbara Douglas and Miss Florence Deppe, Indianapolis, will attend. Mrs. Seiner Is Honored Mrs. Dallas Alt* and Mrs. William McDermott entertained Saturday night at the home of Mrs. Alt*, 1117 King avenue, in honor of Mrs. Jacob B. Seiner. The guests included : Mesdames Lawrence Behrent, Robert Clark. Charles Hatton, Andrew Helnleln. Mae Ludkeman, James Llndbloom. Richard Miller, Carl W. Peterson, James L. Woolery, Walter Sunday and John Zore pleats at all, but the front fullness will be put in by a godet. And they’ll have bll sorts of different necklines and bodice and sleeve treatments. This type dress is easy for almost any figure to wear. It’s better for the heavy or short figure than the dress with side fullness, as the straight lines give height instead of width. The peplum silhouette is a fine one for the slim figure—especially the figure that’s maybe a bit too slim through the hips. • It widens the figure at that point—as you can see. These are three silhouettes you’re going to see much of this spring. Any one of them is fash-ionable-providing it is becoming to you.
