NEW YORK, May 8— Two women who decorated the interior of the largest ocean liner built in this

country are partners in a female firm where the only men are errand boys and bookkeepers. “That’s putting them in their place, isn’t it?” laughed Dorothy Marckwald. She pulled a French Provincial chair across the rosy beige carpet of her office and sat down. “We're short on chairs,” she explained. “They're delicate, and with all the men we do business with it seems our chairs are always out having

_ broken legs mended.”

She and one of her partners, Anna Urquhart, were commissioned three years ago to do the interior decorating on the SS United States which will be completed in time for a maiden voyage next month,

a a8 “WE CALL OURSELVES the

marine division of the com- :

pany,” said Miss Marckwald, a handsome, smartly dressed woman in her 40's. “For the last 20 years Anne and I have been saying we're the only women who decorate ships and nobody ever has contradioted us.” The other two partners, Mir-

jam Smyth and Isabel Noyes,

concentrate on decorating homes and apartments for private clients. “We've done about 25 ships,” Miss Marckwald continued, “but this one is our biggest and the first one that had to be completely Srepreot. »

THEY STARTED working with blueprints, trying to pic- ' ture the 26 public rooms and

They made 2-foot scale models of the state rooms.

“The only wood used in the |

ship is in the piano and the butcher's chopping block,” séid Miss Marckwald, speaking with all the pride of a parent point-

travelers found out about it. During the recent South American .good-will tour for members of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Senora Rosa Markmann de Gonzales Videla, wife of Chile's president, entertained the women in her home (including some Hoosiers), The First Lady arrived in the U. 8. this week to receive the “Mother of the World” award from the International Committee of the American Mothers Committee. Since the hostess was unable to speak English and the guests’ vocabularies were limited to

“ui; si rexcept Tor one ot the

clubwomen who didn’t admit her knowledge), an interpreter was present at the social. In the midst of the conversation, the interpreter kept repeating certain Spanish words over and over to the hostess who was wearing an elaborate strapless dress. It wasn't until the Spanishspeaking American informed her traveling companions what the words meant that the mystery was cleared. Evidently, the interpreter had a double duty that day—to in-

Current fashion shades of brown, for instance, are inclined to turn passengers green, the two decorators have decided. “We think all muddy colors make people seasick,” Miss Marckwald explained. “We try to use clear colors. Anne is our seasick expert. If she looks at a color and goes ‘ugh,’ we don’t use it.”
