= THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1929 cnn Ditererrs in the Hote The Women's Corner For Anything Homemaker and the Housekeeper LJ * of Interest to. WHERE TO PLACE THE PIANO The grouping and decorative plan the average living room centres .around some central theme, usually the fireplace or the piano, The fire- ace is a fixed feature but the plac- ng of the piano offers many unusual possibilities of giving character to "the room. Of exquisite craftsman- ship and finish, the piand is the most valuable piece of furniture, while its very size makes it import- ant in the general arrangement, The life of the piano is vitally connected with its position. Exces- sive heat injures the finish and also ruins the tonal qualities. Sudden changes of temperature cause the surface to "check" and affect the tuning. Dampness is a mortal foe since it causes swelling of the deli- cate mechanism and rusting of the strings. © All these factors enter in= to the question of position, A ra- diator too close, a window which may be left open during a sudden shower, cven a drafty corner may wreak havoc with the instrument, So far as possible, an inner wall is referred before an outer one. The tter is exposed to changes of tem- perature. Where it must be chosen, place the piano at a short distance from it, about a foot for a grand piano and at least four inches for an upright. A grand piano in the average home offers a real problem, The musician prefers to have it backing into the room, so that the shades of tone may be reflected to the hearers without loss. Usually an angular arrangement will provide for this. Often a corner will be found most suitable for this placement. , The upright piano is less difficult. ts height makes it suitable for a position flat against a wall. If it is centred in the space its importance is accentuated, while the grouping of the other furniture in relation to it bears out the idea of one harmon- ious whole. COLOR FOR THE WINDOWS Many housekeepers took down their over-drapes in the late spring, so as to have fewer "dust catchers" around their homes in the hot weather. But now women are beginning to plan the redecoration of their rooms for winter months and there are prob- ably some who will not care to put back the old valances which they took down. So the problem such women are facing is: "What kind of hangings shall I choose for my windows?" In some homes we see only side curtains over the "glass curtains." But it scems to me that, unless a room is very small and the ceilings exceptionally low, almost any win- dow looks better with the plain or ruffled strip across the top called a "valance." = Whether we have the side over-drapes or not, we feel that this strip of color at the top of the window gives a cozy look. Indeed, I know of several house- keepers who, in the back rooms of their houses, have nothing but this strip of valance at their windows. In cases where the kitchen is dark, this is a good plan. And I can heartily recommend oilcloth valances for kit- chen or bathroom windows. This is how a clever little housewife of my acquaintance put her oilcloth valances up: She cut colored oilcloth one-half inch wider and one inch longer than she wanted it to he when finished. With a cookie cutter, she drew circles, with their sides touching, on the white backing of the oilcloth-- and when she cut along the lower edge of these circles she had a row of even scalloping. She attached it directly to the wooden frame of the window by holding the white back toward herself, with the . scalloped edge toward the ceiling, then tacked along the lower edge with small tacks. In this'manner, when the val- ance fell over the right position, no tacks showed. The sides were turn- ed in one-half inch and one tack placed near the bottom on each side held them securely, For the front rooms of the house I believe heartily in rajah or pongec silks for overdraperies at the win- dows. These materials, when washed, can be ironed dry. Also these goods come in such lovely shades and tints. And they wear splendidly. Any woman who has ever used them will, I am sure, want to continue using them for at least some of her rooms, FILLING THE CORNERS One of the most delightful group- ings of furniture is that for the corner of a room. A round or an oc- tagonal table, placed quite into the corner, gives the start for the group. On the table will, of course, be needed a lamp, and beside the table a low chair with a high back that spells solid comfort. There will be a hooked the floor under the grouping, and on the wall above the table and placed so that the lamp casts a warm glow upon it, is a well-framed picture. Today the color prints in frames repeating the prevailing color of the picture are decidedly good, Or, bet- ter still, are the colored etchings, with frames of blue or black glass, though often a black mat is used under the glass, giving the effect of a black glass frame. rug on ATTENTION, WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGE!

For years Paris dressmakers have been discussing how to put un end to the systemr of quick copying, which they assert has done them immense harm, not only financially but to their repute, Within a few clare, copes of their models have been shipped abroad as their work s0 that a New York woman want. ing a real Paris model could often not be sure of what she was getting, There have been conferences be- tween buyers and producers aud many schemes have been suggested by the latter to put down this prac- tice, but until now these have mostly failed to produce any result, The temptation, it is contended, has proved too strong for any buyers of all nationalities to have models copied at once by French dressmakers, thus insuring the Par is mark, and to have the copies shipped or originals. It is contended that often several hundred copies or a single model have been made within twenty-four hours of its pur- chase, To prevent this being done these eight houses have d:cided that they will not in future deliver their nrod- els to buyers in Paris. If an Amer- ican or othcr buyers orders a mo- del it will not be delivered here but will be shipped direct to the buyer's house in New York, Berlin or else- where, This, the Parisians bclieve will make it certain that their orig- inal models will reach their destina- tion, whether or not they are cop- countersigned by their firms so as to make sure of their iuentity, These measures will not be ad- opted by al] firms, for some main- tain that copying does not hai vut rather increases the purchase of models. They therelore intend ta place no restrictions on buyers, Another point at issue between che big eight and the others is as tq whether newspaper publicity is of value." Formerly it was believed that the publication of photographs of models increased sales. Now some dressmakers have come to believe that the feminine reaction is quite otherwise, and that when a woman sees a photograph or drawing of a model she decides immediately that she wants some- thing like it, but different.
