shows three strong
trends. There will be more
cotton styles. The wonder-
ful man-made fibers, either carpet rayons or blends of other materials, will be more widely used. Fresh designs and textures will move onto the floor show in an unprecedented variety. - The 1952 patterns are subtly done with fewer large scrolls and leaves. Stylized motifs have been reduced in scale, compatible either with modern or traditional furniture. Three of the carpetings to be introduced next month at the January international home furnishings market in Chicago are pictured. All made by Gulistan, they are a cross section,
typical of the lines to be shown.
The virgin wool design is old world in texture much fike the floral tapestries made centuries ago. Leaves in crisp autumn tones interspersed with red berries produce a striking design against a light beige background. Especially treated vinyl yarn outlines the many-pointed leaves and emphasizes the leaf veins of the two-toned pattern. The rest of the carpeting is virgin wool pile. The doublebarreled color effect is achieved because because the vinyl tracing is darker than the wool. Colors are garnet red, cadet gray, silver green or chamois beige. Shades of one rich color, green, gray, red or cinnamon, forms the pattern of the rayonwool combination. It's a twining, leaf-like design, light

Ls fr ple ok THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES New Carpeting Fashions Slipcovers | i Disguise Ugly Walls
AS it ever occurred to you that ugly walls can be slipcovered, too, just
as you'd cover a worn
chair or couch? " At least once in a lifetime, a homemaker runs up against a wall that suddenly, without any outward reason, juts out for a foot or two and then falls back to where it originally was, They seem to be the inevitable nemesis of all apartment dwellers and some home owners, too, unles§ the buildings are new.
If it isn’t that, it's a doorway that's never used, made even more conspicuous by bulging doorknobs and inset panels. Nevertheless, these architectural - pockmarks cam be disguised. In fact, they can be made into an asset and without high workman or ‘decorator. expenses. The secret: Wall slipcovers.
Take a broken wall surface: It can be leveled out with material that extends parallel with the outside wall and even with the protruding part. That leaves a wonderful space in back for storing things. This fake wall can be permanently tacked to the ceiling or a wire can be rigged up and the fabric fitted on it. The material should be something that harmonizes both in texture and color with the rest of the furnishings: Silk, satin or damask for a Victorian setting; chintz, burlap, monk's cloth or heavy cotton for modern and early American rooms. Before buying ‘any material, « check that you haven't some old draperies or curtains which can be salvaged with a little dye. If at all possible, do your dyeing in the washing maching and use all-purpose dye in case the material has any synthetic fibers in it. As for unwanted doors, never for a minute live with one of those when they're so easily camouflaged with material. Here you can do up the disguise in folds or pleats as you would for draperies. In a bedroom, this makes a glamorous backdrop for the bed. The curtained walls are so attractive they can be used even when there are no. blights to cover up. It ean also be the answer to more closet space when one of.these fake walls is set up between two ceiling-high bookcases. 80, look to the wall. It isn't as impenetrable as it seems.

‘Mark This Important Date
One out of three American families prefer modern furniture | to Early American, Eighteenth Century and other styles, ac- | cording to a survey conducted by a national magazine. Strongest support was found
among young somemakers— | those in the 25-and-under group. | on Your Calendar!
They voted higher than 60 per | cent for “modern” in both live ing room and dining room. By contrast, older homemakers were more reluctant to accept the newer furniture styles. Only 215 per cent of those over 56 favored modern for the liv- | ing room and only 24 per cent | were in favor of it for the din- | ing. room. z Polished hardwood floors re- | ceived a vote of 85 per cent in | the living room, 81 per cent in the dining room and 84 per cent in the bedroom, despite the inroads made by other types of exposed ‘floors such as asphalt tile, rubber tile, clay tile, cork and linoleum,

Food stains containing proteins — those that result from milk, cheese, meat or egg-—are best removed by first soaking
in cold water and then laun-
dering in warm soap suds.
Protein-containing stains on
upholstery can be treated with pepsin powder which “digests” the stains if no other treatment has been tried previously. Sprinkle the stain with pepsin powder (from any corner drug store) and rub it in well.
Keep the stain damp and covered with the powder for half an hour. Rinse off well with a clean, slightly damp cloth. To brighten color, sponge the stain with water containing a few drops of ammonia.
