MOLLY MILLIGAN Your Home Decorator Palsy Milligan Syndicate Shades can save energy Dear Molly Milligan: We have just moved into our dream house. There are several double-hung windows with a western exposure. We've ordered floral draperies with tie-backs, but have since discovered that we also need window shades to block out the intense sun. What shades will blend with our contemporary interior? Don and Margie, Barrington Dear Don and Margie: Perfect timing. Hunter Douglas has a new "Duettee" dual-pleated fabric shade that forms a unique honeycomb structure that traps air, (a natural insulator) which makes this shade highly energy-efficient in summer and winter. The "Duette" shade has a soft gentle look, but is actually very durable and easy to clean. Its unique construction, allows you to choose one of 10 pastel colors for the interior, yet maintain a white underside for a neutral appearance on the exterior of your house. The "Duette" shade blends with any style from eclectic to Louis XIV and looks beautiful when paired with draperies. Dear MoUy Milligan: Recently we bought an A-frame in Wisconsin for our summer retreat. We want rustic-looking furniture, but don't want garage sale bargains or cast-offs. Can you recommend good quality, inexpensive furniture? Mark and Barbara, Dundee Dear Mark and Barbara: "This End Up" Furniture Company builds furniture for people who want function, comfort and good looks at a good price. Its made of kiln-dried southern yellow pine with orthopedic-styled cushions that come in several beautiful practical colors. "This End Up" ships directly to you -- you assemble and you save. They pride themselves on the fact that their furniture is built to put your feet on. There are more than 60 stores -- one is near you. Dear Molly Milligan: I have seen the mini-blind and the micro- blind and I like them both. However, I must choose only one style for my apartment. Does the micro-blind have an advantage over the other? Sam, St. Louis Dear Sam: The micro-blind is newer. It is more slender than the mini-blind creating a cleaner, more tailored look. It also provides a tighter closure for better light control. The micro-blind comes in the same fantastic colors as the mini and is about the same price. Both are one of the least expensive custom window treatments on the market. The choice is yours.

"A lot of adults think fun and play are a sin," she Many of these same adults are the parents of kids who were students in the 1980s and 70s -- the "me" generation -- a status made possible because of the no-nonsense work ethics of mom and dad. Not surprising-. ly, Bolger said, it is these young adults who know best how to go out and enjoy themselves. In her seminars, Bolger tries to set people to sing songs. She tells funny stories and Jokes as an example of how good it Is to laugh. In her last seminar, she said she used an old Burns and Allen recording to get those attending in the right mood. Bolger relate how the laughter generated from those stories and jokes havca refcy effect in bringing those attending closer together. She also explains the benefits of laughter in relieving everyday stress. Another anecdotevshe uses concerns Norman Cousins, former editor of the Saturday Review. After months of medical treatment for a painful ' daily, massive doses of laughter. His watching old tapes of such programs as turel and Hardy films. /treatment resulted in several hours Of relief from j, and that it eventually brought him back to ig was "if bad feelings can lead to illness, then o wellness." Bolger said her seminars attract persons as young as 16, and as old as a " 72-year old gentleman who was very entertaining." She said the main purpose of the seminars is to "share and learn from each other." Breaking the ice is sometimes hard, however. Bolger noted that one of the beginning exercises to improve the frequency of laughter involves having her subjects list or discuss the last time they laughed. "Some cannot list one thing," she said. "They've forgotten how to play, or when they last remember having a good time. "When they come to these seminars, it appears they're giving themselves permission to go out and have a good time." Bolger said the feedback she's received from the seminars is encouraging. Many of those attending begin to go out and actively seek to do fun and playful things. So for those who now realize the errors of their ways, Bolger has the following advice: Make your own list of fun activities. It may include sports, dancing, singing, games, jokes, magic tricks and trivia. Don't be afraid to be childlike. Build that snowman, or run barefoot along the beach. But most importantly: SMILE! (Bolger will be conducting her seminar again at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 9, at McHenry County College.) illness, Cousins selfi treatment included "Candid Camera" Cousins claimed the pain be w; health.
