" vios houses ih the world, expects modern designs to continue popu-or mostly for use in ranch-style

By JEAN TABBERT

There may be cold winds outside, but summer’s ar-

rived at Adams’. It will be tnere year- round, too, after the opening tomorrow of the store's new “Flamingo Room.” Officially the section for wrought iron and rattan furniture makes its bow from 2 ta 5 and from 7 to 9 p. m. Refreshments will be served and there will be an open house. | Unofficially the third floor room was sneak-previewed last week. Sunshine lighting, .tropeal plants and colorful backprovide a warm weather setting for the double-duty units. The multi-purpose angle Is the idea behind the department. Store officials realize more and more homemakers are using so-called summer furniture to decorate the interiors of their homes.

informality 80, INSTEAD of tucking away rust-resistant wrought fron, sturdy rattan and other informal designs, they've collected them in the “Flamingo Room.”

So strong is rattan that it's used in its native land for building houses and bridges. Termites turn up their noses at it and climate changes don’t faze it. Consequently it's as good a bet for steam-heated apartments as damp seaside cottages, which must be closed part of the year. £

Decorating

Trend Today

Contemporary Mood | Blends New With Old

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 Gladys Miller, decorator,

(UP)~| believes|

“mixture but not hodge-podge” is the home decorating trend today.| Miss Miller, secretary of the local chapter of the American In-| stitute of Decorators, said more, and more homes are being fur-|

nished in the

“contemporary

mood—a happy blending of old|

and new.”

“For instance,” she observed, | “at the recent national home fur-|

“Every home should have something growing or living in it,” she advised. “It can be goldfish, birds, |plants, whatever the homemaker

wants.”

Miss Miller said fabrics and {wallpaper designs are heading in {two directions. They're either doc: {umentary — reproductions of old idesigns—or are abstractions with

texture interest.

“We're choosing draperies and slipcovers by feel as well as by

color and design,” she added. Recipe Given

winter coats

By ELIZABETH HILLYER A window cornice like this can be painted, papered or covered with fabric. Make it of 33-inch plywood, or heavy wallboard if it isto be covered. The returns, which are the pieces at the sides and the top piece, should be about 4 inches, or wider if the cornice must hide fixtures or heavy draperies which project far from -the wall. : The depth of the cornice may be 8 to 12 inches, or deeper ac-

cording to the size of the window and the design you like.

” » " DESIGN THE shape of the front of the cornice yourself. Make your own pattern on heavy paper—experiment until you have drawn pleasing curves half as wide as the cornice— then cut out the half-pattern, | which is used twice to guide the cutting. Nail the pieces of the cornice together and put it up on the | wall with angle irons. Fasten 3-inch angle irons to the wall or woodwork and lay the cornice on the projection.

Chair Comfort

Sit-Down Test

Is Conclusive

Very few people know a comfortable chair when they see one. For good reason, because seeing can’t be believing with chairs, The chair that looks ‘soft may not be comfortable—it may be too soft and furnish too little support. Plenty of cushioning of the right firmness doesn’t cinch comfort either—the pitch .of the back in relation to the seat, and the depth of the seat, have more to do with comfort than cushion-

3 ing, and you can’t tell much about

these points by looks.

u = EJ

THE ONLY way to tell how comfortable a chair is is with a sit-down test. It's often a surprise that today’s favorite lighter, ‘more open chairs are really: more comfortable than bulky big ones. The answer, of course, is better design.
