—WHAT’S IN FASHION—

Wallpaper in Period Designs Directed by AMOS PARRISH—

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Legend has it that a French missionary, returning from China in 1620 (the year the pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts) brought back some painted papers. He gave them to a paper maker of Rouen, who was so pleased with the design that he covered his walls with the paper. Os course, others were quick to cop-.’ fliia idea. Silks, velvets and tapestries were the fashionable wall coverings then. But too expensive for ordinary folk. So wall paper became a fashion. One thing the paper maker didn’t think of that fashion-wise folk always think of today when choosing wall papers. What style furniture is this room to have. And what type paper goes best with the furniture? That's important, because of the many types of papers. There are papers that look so much like wood grains that you have to feel them to tell the difference. Others that imitate rough plasters. Silver and gold papers. Satin finishes. So you have to consider how the paper will harmonize with the room’s contents. Today you may have wallpaper in the same type of design used with the originals of your period furniture. To go with Queen Anne or Chippendale furniture there are damask effects. For provincial rooms, rural scenes, plaids and quaint florals. For Adam furniture, classic motifs of urns and medallions have been

JOIN in every controversy that interests you and if your letter is worth while it will be published. If you haye a problem you would like to have discussed, write your letter now. Dear Jane Jordan—l never have dates, not because I don’t want them, but because I never am asked. I am nice looking, have nice clothes, and seem to be well liked bv girls. I always am welcome to entertain at home. We have two automobiles, radio, piano, victrola and everythin* like that. I have had dates, but never more than two with the same bov. Whv is that? Can it be because I do not smoke and drink? I used never to let a bov kiss me. but the last date I had I let the fellow kiss me and thought at the time that I made a hit. bu he never came back. I am 20 vears old and am very tall. Bovs, is this the reason you don’t ask girls for dates? I work In an office, dance, and am in for all sorts of good times. Not long ago a salesman in the office wanted me to go to a show with him. but I refused, because I didn’t know him well enough. Did he think anv more of me for refusing when X scarcely knew him? Please print this letter and ask other readers to comment on it. LONELY LOU. Dear Lonely Lou—Your trouble is probably that you do not know how to sell yourself. It is said that every successful salesman sells two things—his article and himself. Possibly a few lessons in practical psychology would help you learn the trick of making people like you. Why don’t you get some books at the library on personality and learn of what simple elements this thing popularity is made? Your voice and your manner is important. Make them pleasant and cordial. Your personal appearance is important. Change your way of dressing your hair and cultivate individualism in the way you wear your clothes. Change your manner of talking, learn how to raise the ego of the people you wish to charm. There is anew book out called “Strategy in Handling People,” which you could read with profit. Work at this problem until you learn the trick of selling your own personality, and the circumstances of your life will change. u st , a Here's another letter from Slim Pickius. Dear Jane Jordan—Yes. just nineteen, Xm homelv. but whv wasn't mv homeliness noticed before mv three matrimonial experiences. I always have been this way. Boiling Beauty and Miss Twenty have refused to comment on • y unfortunate experiences. Are you being very kind and considerate regarding my desire for dates by the radio, huh? How often would you sit by the radio? Bottles cigarets, automobiles, dances, are part of every date of mv experience. Yes. every man prefers -the girl warm to him, but cold to the outside world, but mv girls never have had that attitude unless full of liouor. Ho. hum. KOOd Kiris! SLIM PICKINS. tt tt tt Dear slim Pickens—Boiling Beauty's letter came too late to be published in last week's column, but here it is now. Dear Jane Joroan—X. Y. Z.. what do you mean when you sav that you are a real. honest-to-KOodness man? I'd like to know how old he is. if he doesn't mind telling it. Does he smoke? Jf it s unhealthy for a Rirl to smoke, what is it for a fellow? Why under the sun does he put a modern and an old-fash-ioned idea together like the radio and a Kiri who embroiders! As for Slim Pickins. I would tnink you’d be finished for a brief period. To Happy Hoolißan. X side in with you about it not beiiiK so hard to find a nice Kiri. And I’d sure hate to ro with a fellow three years and not even have a goodnieht kiss. All these fellows would act tired of seeinß a Kiri sittinß home embroidering all the time. This is one time this supposed-to-be stronger sex isn’t going to have its wav. How about it. Just Nineteen and Miss Twenty? Come on everybody and help us waker sex. BOILING BEAUTY. tt tt tt And here's the letter that Mr. A. requested from Sugar. Dear Jane Jordan—Answering Mr. A: I think the cause of misunderstandings between the sexes is that they misjudge the wants of one another. I think the fellows are all wrong in thinking that all girls do is drink, smoke, and pet. and the girls are wrong in thinking the same thine of the fellows. As for entertaining at home, there are anv number of games that can be olaved at home, such as ping pong, card games, and with all the modem devices, such as the radio, piano or phonograph, vou can sing or dance at home. Our crowd htus experimented with making fudge, bulling taffy, nopplng corn, and have had manv enjoyable evenings doing so. If all this fails to amuse, you're hopeless. Vi CKS COUGH DROP ...

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

popularity of colonial type homes and furnishings, 'right now. Chintzlike designs or small flower patterns look for all the world like the oldtime chintzes of colonial times. Many scenic papers copy authentic old scenics that were popular years ago—and these were usually scenes of the Old England beloved by homesick colonists. Some of these are made without a repeat of pattern—just one broad scene—and gives a feeling of extensive space and long views. And small geometries and conventional florals are prim and quaint and quite in keeping with the colonial spirit.
