Cafeterias find that green salads on green plates zoom sales; some airlines will not serve mayonnaise be- cause the mustard color contri- butes to a. feeling of nausea. A red apple is more inviting than a vellow one; cheese and butter are artificially colored the more to tempt us. Your. dining-room walls then should be considered as part of the menu, an important three times a day staple, While a red tone might sound revolutionary, the effect would be stimulating to the appetite. As not many hours per day are spent in the confines of the dining-room the family would not soon become tir- ed of an intense color such as a red tone, whereas they would doubtless complain if the same pomegranate or vermilion shades were found in the living-room Of course, the dining-room may not be used solely for eating pur- pose. In these days of small homes, many dining-rooms double as sewingrooms, children's play- rooms, and even guest rooms. If used for such purposes the choice of color would be narrowed down to those less aggressive hues-- light greens, blues and yellows-- that can be lived with satis- factorily for longer periods. If the dining-room is adjoining or is part of, the living-room then there is a new set of problems. Many people settle this by having the two rooms the same color. A variation is to have the smaller Gifts & Greetings for You -- through WELCOME WAGON from Your Friendly Business Neighbors and Civic and Social Welfare Leaders Dn the occasion of: The Birth of a Baby Sixteenth Birthdays EngagementAnnouncements a slightly deeper color than the living-room." An example of this would be a liv- ing-room with walls of a medium tone green, with the adjoining diningroom in a deep Hunter's green. Another happy variation Is a reversal of colors. An instance would be a livingroom with blue walls and gray ceiling; the din- ingroom then would have gray walls and the living-room blue on the ceiling. Or you may choose to pick uw your predominant dining color from one of the vty colors used in the living room. Turquoise walls for the dining room might be keyed to the liv- ing-room drapes; or you may paint the diningroom walls soft rose to pick up the new slip- cover hue on the chesterfield. Another ~ method of choosing diningroom colors is by choosing a paint hue that will set off your favorite table accessories. There is sound decorative logic in this plan, too, because the hue featur- ed on the dining board should be repeated or contrasted, for great est effect, elsewhere in the room's interior; Future purchas- es of table linen may be made with an eye to the room's walls Change of r Arrivalv of Newcomers to City PHONE 807 (No eost or obligation) and draperi French gray is particularly suitable for the walls of a formal dining-room.

If youre bolder, and lean to- ward terra cotta, Pompelan red or deep rose for table linens, you might do the walls in turquoise, soft green or blue. If you have colored table linen of delicate gray, blue lavender or rose you might wish to paint your walls Jonquil or butter yellow.

Them's Fighting Words "Don't call me broad-minded-- those are fighting words," Eliza- beth Massey Hill warns the world' in an article in the January Reader's Digest condensed from the Woman's Home Companion. Mrs. Hill wants it known she's all through with excessive toler- ance. People who get objection- able at her parties won't be in- vited back and she makes it plain she's not broad-minded enough to tolerate stealing, cheating, and running off with your neighbor's wife. To boast of our "broad:minded- hess" has become a fetish, Mrs. Hill declares, and "I for one am sick of it. Even in smaller mat- ters 1 am quitting the broad- minded group. I shall not force a lenient smile when someone in my presence uses words Which wouldn't have been tolerated in & well-run saloon a generation ago. I shall do my bit to put discus- sions of marital relations back in the privacy they should never have left." Mrs. Hill doubts that our "vaun- ted tolerance and easy philosophy have made individuals better or happier. Our parents and grand- parents may mot always have been as saintly as they pretended but they did have definite stand- ards which they insisted on and lived by in large part." The situation has serious plications, Mrs. Hill believes, - as. "we are trying to steer a course without a compass and it appears to me we are foundering. It sifts down to the fact that 'broad mindedness has come to mean moral apathy." im- / Tako youn plas ih Oks, thate i) The Skifled Soldiez Tiadesmen' | of the R.C.EM.E The workshops of the Royal Canadian Bla it and Mechanical Engi are rapidly -- in step with the growth of the Canadian Army Active Force.
