DINET AND STUDY NOOK—Rich brown knotty pine carries out the feeling of rusticity in this breaktast

room (left) done by Paul Bry, internationally known furniture designer.

The table is placed against the window to

take full advantage of the light, and the chairs conform to the shape of the human body. Curtains and upholstery are made of linen in cerise and sky blue on a white background. Graeing a study corner (right) in a boy's bedroom designed by Mr. Bry is a versatile desk. It's equipped with a pwoting shelf (so the desk may be enlarged as needed) and an unsual typewriter compartment. Sliding glass panels

substitute for curtains at the windows. ‘ By JEAN TABBERT ONE OF THE MOST ABLE and versatile designers in this-coun-wy is Paul Bry, of New York, whose work has won him recognition on twa continents. Any query, however, as to what kind of designer he is leaves Mr. Bry at a loss for a reply. To him, the profession of design is an integrated thing, not a collection of unrelated fragments. And so, taking into account his creations in industrial design, interior decoration and furniture design, Mr, Bry might be called a specialist in a number of skills. A graduate of two famous German schools, he did not establish residence in this country until 1938. Already hehad achieved a reputation for himself in Europe by designing compact and convertible furniture for use in modern homes and apartments. His designs were written up in almost every important home decoration magazine

in Western Europe. Of late, he’s turned his talent toward showroom and store

in home decoration, ” =" » # u » FOR EXAMPLE, he studies the reactions and buying habits of men and women over a period of years, These give him a practical foundation for his work. (In the same way, the modern homemaker should study the needs of her family and adapt her home's interior to their needs.) He strives for an over-all impression of openness in the stores he designs. However, he likes to include semi-enclosed department areas to convey a cozy, “little shop” atmosphere. He uses fluorescent light, carefully balancing the tonalities so that hues will not be thrown off-color. Drama in lighting, he thinks, should be confined to small, restricted areas and always related to the accomplishment of some specific purpose. (Here again the homemaker can take a cue. A clear, over-all light brightens a room, while individual lamps, for specific purposes—

and a Sunday dinner, all within a week, So any homemaker could be expected to welcome a plan for easy, quick meals in between.

The recipe given today includes creamed potatoes that cook | quickly and, as they cook, make their own cream sauce. Made this way, the sauce is tastier than if it were prepared separately and | ed ( poured over the potatoes at the |

last minute.

(In the same way, the amateur decorator should so display her furniture and accessories each in its most effective way.) Although world-famous as a “modern” designer, Mr. Bry prefers to term his work “classic” modern. Open-minded toward new ma-

laminated plywood and foam rubber in his furniture designs.

These new plastic techniques permit hime to give full play to his |

basic principle in design—functionalism. Sometimes this over-all ideal leads him to conceive unconventional shapes in his furniture patterns Defending his classic modern use of design, Mr. Bry says, “I do not mean the traditional should be discarded just because it is traditional. But unless it suits the modern requirement better than any

How to Make Corsages With

TTHen it's a -stek—trick; Hf -youre

a. gatden-minded parent, to twnout corsages for his best girl that will rival a professional's effort. Mrs. W. Irving Palmer, 5726 Broadway Terrace, whose two sons offer Her plenty of opportunity to ise her skill, says unusual corsages are easy to do in summer when roses and other garden flowers are just waiting to be used. But even in winter, and without orchids, you can make | many attractive and original combinations. “Use any kind of evergreens for green,” Mrs, Palmer says. “Just be sure it won't ooze oil that might stain a party dress. Or this is one thing I do—I keep an orange plant growing all winter because its waxy dark green leaves make such good corsage material.” » "nN “FOR COLOR you can wrap brightly colored tiny gumdrops ig cellophane to make them shine Use an odd number with a yellow one for the center of the flower, Stick a toothpick into the gumdrop. | “Wrap florist wire, available at a florist's or the dime store, around the cellophane and on to the toothpicks, tie the whole thing with narrow ribbon-—about halfinch width is right—making four loops on your fingers,- tying it through the center with a separate piece of ribbon. “Or you can buy small, inexpensive bags of pine cones that have been dipped and colored. Use them with evergreens, tie with red or silver ribbon.” » ®

» “FLORISTS can also supply

what they call ‘corsage balls,’ tiny |

colored Christmas tree balls to cluster on the greens for color, Little silver sleighbells or gold open bells, tied with red or silver ribbon, make an interesting combination. Or you can gather red

or variegated cellophane into a | : |. roset with a little ball sewed o terials as science makes them available, he likes to use plastic- | we i

Deaths Are Declining Sulfa, Penieillin Cut Danger of Fever

By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.

THE CONQUEST of A deaths from childbirth has been | enormously speeded over the past few years. Between 1915 and 1923, | about six to eight young mothers | died for every 1000 live births. | Since the early 1030's, however, | there has been a tremendous drop in the rate, | The most recent figures show | that there are only two deaths of mothers in every 1000 births. This great improvement in the hazards of childbearing is. not accidental. It is caused by improved meth- | ods of caring for mothers, better education and the discovery of new drugs. | The improved methods of ma- | ternal care have been the result | of concerted efforts by physicians | to give more aid to mothers dur- | ing childbirth. Relief of pain is | only one of the several advances | which have taken place. M ~ ” EDUCATION has been aimed primarily at letting people know the importance of complete care during the entire period of preg- | nancy and the time immediately after childbirth. Because such care reveals many | preventable conditions, it has a | direct bearing on the chances of life and well-being of the mother also’ helps to and the child as well. I al- .
