“DOODLE” —Steinberg-style pattern,

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE Times Homes Editor

VW ASHABLE wall fabrics have become sophisticated. Typical is the quartet of

Sanitas fashions shown, made by the Coated Products Division of Interchemical Corp. Local outlet is the Central Wallpaper & Paint Co.

Each is made in _the handy .

24-inch width, which homemakers themselves can apply easily. Constructed of canvas with five geparate coats of paint baked on, they often are referred to as “paint by the yard.” To apply, use ordinary wall paper paste. It’s just as simple to stick to plywood and plasterboard as it is to plaster. The material smoothes over irregularities, conceals seams and joints and strengthens the wall, » . » IF A MISTAKE is made while hanging, the paper can be yanked down and rehung without messy results. Once up, it

loses none of its color and freshness despite countless washings.

The bath, rumpus room or powder room can be given a quick and inexpensive lift with “Doodle.” This pen and ink design will enliven every inch of the wall. It shows a spinster fully dressed, reading and eating her breakfast in the bathtub which she shares with flowers and her poodle. In another doodle three hands reach out from the shower for a towel, A mermaid plays in a stall shower, and a bathtub with webbed duck's feet has a scrawny swan’s neck for a spigot. “Doodle” comes either with a white background and ink drawings or with icy bl doodles on a charcoal ground. » ¥ .

COMPLETELY NEW are readycut murals for a child's room. With only minutes and pennies to spend, a nursery, bed room or playroom can be transformed. Available in sets, they are washable and scuffproof, easy to hang as a picture in a frame.

“RODEO RUSTY: and “Billy and the Bucking Bronc”— Ranch detail for a young cowboy who knows the roundup business.

And they come off easily, when

youngsters outgrow the decoration.

The ones shown are a combination of two—"Rodeo Rusty” and “Billy and the Bucking Brone."

The current. trend toward wood paneling may be satisfied by “Decorator Wood.” It's a wood grain texture with a pattern that closely resembles the natural limed oak from which it ‘is copied. The pattern, either in beige or gray with the limed effect showing gray-white in the background, is ideal for dens, studies and living rooms.

Concentric circles surrounding a formalized flower is “Chelsea.” Equally attractive in the living room, dining room and hall, it has three color combinations. On a deep brown ground, green and gray lines encircle lighter gray flowers. Deep gray and green circles, white flowers and a forest green background as well as a deep blue ground, navy and slate blue circles with a light gray flower are the other twogcolor trios. Each of these may be harmonized with a solid shade of Sani. tas to tle together living room, dining room and hall,

Early Planting Secrets Are Told Now

By MARGUERITE SMITH ALWAYS used to follow that customary advice about planting sweet | peas deep (as well as early). Supposed to keep the roots cool and solve all problems

in a hot climate. In faet, in my beginning days I used to plant sweet peas practically by recipe,

as if I were making a cake.

| You know, dig a trench two feet deep. Place | 3 inches of rotted manure in the bottom. Sprinkle lightly with lime. Then five inches of rich

top soil, ete, ete.

Then it occurred -to me that deep planting may be just the ticket where some of these garden experts deal with sandy soil. But not in the

low-lying clay I've got now,

So the other day I planted sweet peas. _not deep, I did put some high phosphate chemical fertilizer under them (better than planting in the posy woman as Grandma did—or is it?) I covered the seed with only about an inch of soil. Then a little strawy manure on top. I also put them in a spot where they'll get a bit of shade at noon of a hot summer day. I've decided it's that extra nitrogen in the manure plus the shade that's kept mine blooming so long into summer these last few years. Plus that wonderful Cuthbertson strain, of course. Certainly an improvement over the oldfashioned sweet peas for our hot summers. Now

But all blue,

HERE'S WHAT happens to gardeners. Gene’ Foxworthy's just got nicely moved into their Dream House out at 9195 Kerr-Wood Drive, when Mr, F. got moved to Puerto Rico. But he's already written home to tell about the garden where he saw 40 orchid plants growing. ¢ 3 >

there another improvement—the multifiora type that really produces almost a bouquet of flowers on each stem. Next year maybe I'll get around to trying them.
