| Traders’ Point Estate | Utilizes Buildings Of Farm.

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Just what can be done with a rickety old barn, a tumbledown milk shack and the charred ruins of a farm house has been demonstrated by an Indianapolis couple who turned such forlorn looking | properties into beauty spots. If you have explored the Trader's Point section recently you may have admired the picturesque estate on | Conaroe Road, belonging to Mr. and | Mrs. Al Lange. | A great deal of artistic planning | and scheming has gone into its de- | velopment. The gracious house, | Which stands high on a hill in the midst of a natural woods, was formerly the dilapidated barn. Barn Becomes Home

cheerfulness. ; Many of the original barn fixtures | have been utilized to carry out the | unusual decorative scheme. | A Jog double-tree hung with] wrougiit iron lanterns forms the] characteristic chandelier in the cen- | ter of the large living room. The] horse stalls have been converted into an interesting porch, screen] inclosed and timber finished, which | looks out over woodlands and roll-| ing hill country. White brick fire-| places are the nuclei around which | the rooms are built. Gay chintz| furnishings add their color notes. | The barn loft now serves as comfortable upstairs bedrooms.

Basement Swimming Pool

smart liktle bath house, threesided garage and barroom have

been made from the old milk shed. | Rough-sawed knotty pine, to match | the mellowed timber of the house, |

forms the outside of the trim recreation building. Directly adjacent toe the bathhouse is a spot which

delights the Lange children, Patty |

and Skippy. It is a swimming pool built in the excavation where the burned house stood. Colorfui umbrellas, tables and chairs are placed nearby on the cement terrace. The Langes have enjoved making over this outmoded farm place into a modern home-place of distinctiveness, they said. When they began the venture several months ago they had no idea of developing it into more than a summer place, it seems. But the more work they put into the estate the more it endeared itself to them, Mrs. Lang said.

Now the family isn't content in town, but plans to stay on in the country the year-round to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Victorian and French Provincia

Furniture to Be Fall Vogue

Breezes from the fall furniture manufacturer fronts have begun to |

blow, wafting intriguing bits of information about style trends. They blow from the West, the South, and the few furniture in upper New York state, bearing ® news of the furnjture markets just

of course, is at Grand Rapids) have only about enough energy left to

divulge to impatient reporters what | | they bought out of all the stocks |

offered, and what will most likely be the furniture trends of the coming season.

Among the most interesting bits of information extracted from

them is the fact Victorian furniture will stage a quiet but definite comeback in commercial lines this fall. In discussing briefly the goods offered by the manufacturers a few weeks ago, as the information came over the telegraph wires, we mentioned this emphasis on Victorian.

But what manufacturers offer and buyers buy are not always the same thing. It seems, however, that they see eye-to-eye on Victorian, and the quaint tufted chairs and hump-backed sofas which highstyle decorators have heen sponsoring for private clients for a few years now, will make their first appearance this fall in the mass production lines.

Book Held Cause

There’s a reason for everything that ever happens, we firmly believe, and there must be one for this return to a vogue only lately berated as the sore spot in American decorative history, a vogue sponsored by chic decorators mostly as a lark, a gay, lush, temporary

past | interlude in the depressing postnois | 1929 picture.

And, of course, there was a reason —“Gone With the Wind,” to be sure, making its influence felt in

tired | the | Western front (the biggest market, |

every other. Civil War with a Southern accent,

in decorating come the fall. The buyers realize, however, how fraught with danger is this style; how, if done lightly, imaginetively, it can be the most charming of all styles, and how, if done with a heavy hand and dull wit, it will Inevitably be as horrible as anything the mid-nineteenth century prodiced—which is, miladies, the very quintessence of ugliness. So they all bought it, but they held back a little.

French Provincial Items

The second item of real news concerns a new vogue for French provincial furniture. French provincial decoration is not an entirely new thing either. But it has appeared in its most simple, rugged version, ideally suited to country and suburban house decoration, and to the most informal type of city apartment. * This time it comes in a slightly different form. Remember there were two great classifications of furniture in France in the 18th Century, the grand-style chateau things, gilded and lacquered, delicate Louis Quinze and Seize chairs upholstered in fine needlepoint and brocade, representing one class, and everything else falling into the other, known as “provincial” furniture. But remember that there was a considerable group of comfortably fixed “bourgeosie” in France at this time—merchants, professional people and others who lived in substantial but unpretentious houses in the country and in the big seaports, like Marseille and Bordeaux.

Notes Revival Of Tutti-Frutt

Jar by Cooks

The old-fashioned habit of having | a tutti-frutti jar, to which new tidbits are added from time to time, is being revived in New York. The jar, in the first place, should be large enough to hold a couple of quarts and should have a lid that fits well. First put in a pint of good brandy, then add raw fruit and sugar, pound for pound, as different fruits are available, Begin with pineapple that is either shredded or cut in cubes, then put in pitted cherries and plums, weighing them first, so as to include the right proportion of sugar. Put in sliced peaches, pears, oranges, grapes that have been halved and seeded, strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries. The tutti-frutti looks nicer without any of the very dark fruits, such as blackberries or huckleberries. Unless strong brandy flavor is particularly desired, no more will be required after the first pint, which will merge with the various juices.

This makes a delightful preserve that may be used as filling for tarts after the shells have been baked. A teaspoon of the brandy-flavored juice makes subtle flavoring for cakes or custards. One may go on adding to the tutti-frutti jar for years,

Coomler Wins in Gladiolus Show

John Coomler, Marion County Gladiolus Society vice president and show manager, won sweepstakes honors in the amateur division of the organization's annual two-day show held Saturday and yesterday in the Hickman-Moyer salesroom. Mr. Coomler also took first place along with Sunnyview Gardens in the commercial displays. Joe Bechert placed first in the open competition and George B. Cannon, society president, second. F. L. Fisher was declared second-place winner in the amateur class. Judges were Walter Love, Paul T. Uhlman, J. T. Laughtner and C. E. Troyer. More than 600 entries were exhibited.

They had made for their homes furniture as simple and substantial as themselves. Instead of fine gilding, it was made of native fruitwoods left in their rich natural finish. The curves and decorations of elaborate chateau styles were simplified. But the result was still far from “peasantry.” It is this sort of thing. the graceful yet sturdy “manor type” of French provincial furniture, as contrasted with the rustic type, and the elegant court pieces which is to be promoted in the big department stores for fall decoration.
