Betty Hettornuum , \-fM Holiday Doings This Christmas season is almost upon us and as a result festive party plannings are in the making.

' New "Americade Public Glimpse Exhibit Gives' "v Future Of USA This room, featuring informal family portraits on the wall, was decorated by C. Eugene Stephenson, an internationally-known decorator. Take Your Family Portraits Qui of Hiding Every farhily has a certain number of professionally-made portraits, commemorating the important events in the lives of its various members. There certainly are baby pictures, graduation photos, wedding and anniversary portraits. It used to be that these pictures, in cardboard folders or. easel-type frames, graced the top of the upright piano. Then this custom more or less went out of the style, at least as far as the interior decorators were concerned, and the portraits went into hiding in drawers and boxes. Today, however, the decorators have found ways to put these cherished portraits on exhibit again--and not as an extra These days they play an important part in the decorative scheme. Large portraits are often used singly or in pairs. Smaller ones go into interesting little frames to form unusual groupings that are bound to be a conversation piece Frames are available in so many different styles that it isn't difficult to find a color and design that is complimentary to the decorative scheme of any room in the house -- and that includes the breakfast nook which is a good place for less informal portraits or enlargements of some of your own family snapshots. The picture we've chosen to illustrate this column shows an interesting use of family pictures in a room decorated by C. Eugene Stephenson, National Chairman of the Board, the American Institute of Decorators. Mr. Stephenson points out that use of portraits is an ideal way to add warmth and a lived-in feeling to the new house or apartment and to give your home decoration a personal touch that no one else can duplicate. Modern techniques, offering full color and a broad range of tpnal prints, have made today's portraits a very definite asset in decoration. Keep this in mind the next time one of the family has a portrait made and you won't have any deciding what you want to do with it. --John Van Guilder LOOK AHEAD TO HOLIDAY BABY SITTING PROBLEM The baby sitter!
