The principles of beauty lo not change . . . form, space, proportion, light, air, prospect, purpose . . . these are problems with ‘hich they are concerned and thew rema gn main the same : L . whether applied to the composition of a poem or a song, of a paint- # Ing or a cathe- : dral. : Particularly is this. true in the gimaking of a ¢ 7 home. The story ol houses is the story of life. Just j a3 the history of a counfry is writElsie De Wolfe ten indelibly in its architecture, so is the history of individuals. to be traced bv the houses in which they have Hved. ~The. first important thing about one’s house is its site. It must be accessible to one’s self and one’s friends. It must afford light, air and sunshine. It irust be in teeping with one's way of living. Its price must be within one’s means. It need not, necessarily, be in a fashionable neighborhood. There are always, if one has eyes to find them, little housts that may be | made over easily, in little streets, and quiet, light, air and a view, if it ¢ only a garden in the backyard,
Consider Suitability When I am asked to decorute a
| house, my first thought is suitabil-
ity; my next thought is propo: tion. I always keep in mind the imiportance .of simplicity. First I study the people who are to live in this house and, for the time being, I am really the chatelaine of the house. When I have thoroughly
familiarized myself, I consider next |.
the proportion of the house and its rooms. We are sure to judge a woman, in whase house we find ourselves for | the first time, by her surroundings. We judge her temperament, her habits, her inclinations ‘by the interior of ‘her home,
We ‘may talk of the weather, but | { we arelooking at the furniture. We |.
attribute vulgar qualities to those who are content to live in ugly surroundings. We endow with refinement and charm, the woman who welcomes us in a delightful room where colors are as perfect as in a picture. : After all, what other guarantee can there be of a woman's character, natural and ‘cultivated, inherent,
‘and inherited, than taste? It is a
compass that ‘never errs. Suitability Is Test:
Why should we American women run after styles and periods of wkich we know nothing? Why should we not be content. with fundamental things? The formal French room is very delightful in the proper place, but when it is unsuited to the people who must live in ii, it ‘is very had indeed. This is what I am always fighting in people’s houses, the unsuitability: of things. The foolish woman goes about from shop to shop and buys as her fancy directs. She sees soinething pretty and olys it, though it has no reference, either in form or color to the scheme of her house. A woman says, “Oh, I love green.
| Let's have green,” regardless of fle
exposure of her room and the furnishings she has aiready collected.
And then, when she has treated
each one of her rocins in a differeciit color, and with a different floor coi ering, she wonderes why she. always is annoyed in going from one room to another.
«Cool Tones for Room
I would like to give you a few ‘basic principles of interior decors - tion that I think right be of resl assistance to you in the decoratir ge of a home, small or large. Dull tones and cool colors are always good in south rooms, and live tones anil
warm polors in north rooms.
For instance, if you wish to kee p your rooms in one color plan, you may have ‘white woodwork in all of them and, walls of varying shades of cream: and. yellow. : Remember, ahove all things, that |: your walls must be beautiful in themselves. They must be plain and quiet, ready to receive sincere things, but quite good enough to get along without pictures, if necessary, “A ‘wall that is broken into beautiful

Simplicity of design and well-treated wall spaces give this room unusual distinction. : It is a bacheloY’s ‘bedroom, decorated by Elsie de Wolfe.

The
Honored
When King Edward VIII of England recently placed the redecoration of Buckingham Palace in the hands of Elsie de Wolfe it was a striking blow to precedent for a woman and an American to receive such -a ~ commission. Yet it was in line with Elsie de Wolfe's achievements. En--tering the decorating field at the turn of the century, she opened a new' profession for women. She designed interiors for the Ogden Armour mansion, Lake Forest, Ill.; the Wey .erhauser house, Minneapolis, Minn.; the Henry Frick mansion, and Anne Morgan house in New York. - Elsie de Wolfe has been called the best dressed woman in the - world by Paris style creators. As Lady Mend], she is an internationally famous hostess. For . her war work she received the Croix de Guerre and Legion of Honor. from the French government.
spaces and covered with a soft cream paint, paper or grasscloth, is good enoligh for any room. It may be broken with lighting fixtures and it is finished. The cardinal virtue of all beauty is restraint. In no part in the maksing .of a home is it more to be heeded than in furnishing the interior. © Large furniture in small rooms belittles self-confidence. Geegaws all over the place are bound to stir up unrest. If, for sentimental reasons, cne may not want to be rid of them, | they can be stored away for the future. A few good things in their proper settings, and in friendly relationship to one another, are far more satisfying than a regiment of inconsequentials which pick at nerves.
Choose Pictures Carefully
One can not be too careful about pictures. Nothing is more conducive to- unrest than amateur oil paintings, defacing the surface of what otherwise might be a pleasing wall space. A few well-chosen etchings, mellow prints, or , good photographs, wisely and economically hung, are much less trying to the temperament. Color should be treated kindly, but it should never be allowed to get the best of a house or room. If you are. inclined to a hasty temper, you should not live in a room where the prevailing note is red. On the other hand, a timid, delicate nature can often gain courage and poise by living in surroundings of rich red tones. Certain colors are antagonistic to each of us, and I think we should try to learn just which colors are most sympathetic to our own indi-

Pirk-av Buzzing With Talk of Oliver-Churchill ‘Romance’
BY HELEN WORDEN Times grecisl Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 25. — This
week’s social comedy of errors, “Will the * Peer’'s Daughter Become the Commoner’s Bride?” is giving Park-av plenty to talk about. Society is acquainted with two of the leading characters—Sarah and Randolph ‘Churchill, daughter and son. of Winston Churchill,- former Chancellor of the King’s Exchequer.
It also knows Lady Astor, who. had
a minor part, that of chaperon. .It does not. know. Vic Oliver, song and dance man. Not that this matters
'| —standards have changed.
If Miss Churchill does marry the Viennese comedian she will not be setting a precedent. The women who live in her world used to ignore actors who attempted to step over the footlights and into the drawing room. Now.they marry them. The cold shoulder may have been a subtle form of flattery. Among the society girls, who've preceded Sarah Churchill in recent years to the altar on the arms of Broadway or: Hollywood bridegrooms are Mariona: du Pont Somerville (Mrs. Randolph Scott), Sandra Shaw (Mrs. Gary Cooper), Phylis Baker Livingston Potter (Mrs. Fred _ Astaire), (Mrs. Eddie Duchin), Louise Cromwell MacArthur (Mrs. Lionel Atwill). and Anne -Seymour Brokaw (Mrs. Henry Fonda). Sarah Churchill probably ‘inherits her romantic sense of adventure from her grandmother, Mrs. George ‘Cornwallis-West, : the former Jennie Jerome of New York. * Mrs. West's first ‘husband was Lord Randolph Spencer Churchill, whom she married after a courtship that glit-
tered with glamorous dinners and |
balls. Less spectacular but evidently more wildly romantic was her second marriage—to Cornmallis-West.
They were divorced 14 years later.:

While young Randolph Churchill, who pursued Sarah across the Atlantic, denies that there is any romance or any opposition, everybody knows he is here to persuade his sister to return to England.’ So far it evidently has been an amicable attempt at persuasion. In sending Randolph the Churchills may find they have picked one who is. not impervious to romance himself. On his last visit here he was reported engaged to Catherine Halle, daughter of a Cleveland business man, who lives at the Elysee. Mr. Churchill's mother is said to have appeared and whisked her son back to ‘Europe when she heard of
‘the affair.
