SURVEYS PROVE IT Latest surveys of consumer opinion on what women. want most in a home, have invariably area with a status of its own, however small the room may be. So now many of the newest houses do include a small, sep- arate dining area in their floor plans. Architects and decorators are meeting the challenge of the small area dining room in a variety of interesting ways, all aimed at giving the illusion of greater spaciousness. CLEVER USE OF COLOR Color is cleverly used, furni- ture is scaled down and there is much use of rubber and solid vinyl as flooring, often designed in large-scale squares, diamonds or contrasting stripes. Some- times the designs are empha- sized by brass insets. This use of large-scale archi- tectural designs is done deliber- ately in order to bring this feel- ing of spaciousness into cramped dimensions. RUBBER TILE One modern designer achieved such an effect in an interesting way by using rubber tile in an architectural design combining light beige patterns with choco- late brown inserts. On the largest wall of the small dining room, he used a translucent style in solid vinyl echoing the beige tones of the flooring.

A handsome plaid effect was ted in a tra mar- ble style of solid vinyl, in shades of marigold yellow and sea foam green, balanced by strips of soft sun tans and off-whites. The colors, repeated in the fur- nishings to achieve relaxed backgrounds, integrated harmo- niously with the dramatic floor- ing pattern which was achieved w.thout the expense of custom- cutting. PRACTICAL SIDE Then, especially for the dining room, there's the practical side of easy care, since both rubber and solid vinyl require only damp mopping.

But even this glittering career is mostly hard work, often con- ducive to simple feminine hy- steries, says the lovely and lis- some Monique. Take, for in- stance, one of her recent assign- ments. She was in New York in charge of 17 temperamental Paris models and 45 costumes from the haute couture, worth $250,000 and weighing 900 pounds. Girls and clothes were flown to the United States for a gala television spec- tacular. While others supervised the production, Monique was re- sponsible for the safety and good conduct of models and the price- less gowns from Paris. TOUGH ON NERVES "Until you've tried to chap- erone 17 French girls in New York, you'll never know what can happen to your nervous sys- tem," she said. "And until you've had nightmares about what could happen to $250,000 worth of Paris originals, through theft, fire or tend an average 3,000 births an- flood, you'll never really value alels. good night's sleep."

Pick Towels For Color, Size And Construction Bath towels play such an im- portant role in decorating the bathroom that manufacturers ex- cel in turning out mew patterns and color combinations each sea- son. There are stripes; there are flower sprays and sprigs; there are checks, and all in beautiful colors, tones and shadings. BEAUTY AT MODEST OUTLAY So colorful are the new towels that the inexperienced shopper is quite likely to be carried away by the beauty of it all, and the realization that she can give her bathroom such colorful beauty at a modest outlay.

The menfolk in the family, especially, prize the bath sheet or real beach-size towel. The shops are stocking these 36 bv 63-inch towels in patterns as well as in solid colors and sav they sell well the year around. A couple of these big ones should be included in the linen closet to round out the towel supply.
