SPRING STYLES HOLD STAGE Glamorous models in chic spring outfits drew appraising and ap- preciative glances from large crowds Thursday = evening and Saturday afternoon, when fash- fon shows were held by two lo- cal Town and Color and light cannot be dis- sociated. Obviously without light there is no color. It is important when you're deciding on colors of furnishings for use in your home that you examine your swatches of carpeting, fabrics, wall cover- ing, etc. by daylight and night- light. Lighting plays strange tricks and you may find that at night your new red upholstery doesn't look as pure a hue as you had considered it during the day. It probably has taken on a slightly orange cast. Those blue-gray walls may turn out to be pure gray under your room's night lighting, and the green rug may look slightly bluish. Yellows almost al- ways gray - out under artificial light. These foregoing facts hold where the lighting is incandescent. The latter is most common in the home and, generally speaking, Countrywoman and Tots 'n Teens. The Gregory Theatre was filled with style-conscious' women and keenly interested members of the male sex for the Town and Coun- trywoman show. Ronnie Burkett and Thelma Cumming, the firm's two professional models, aug- mented by Misses Tip Ostrom, Ruth Sparling, Althea Carr-Mar- ris, Dee-Dee Soanes and Barbara Henderson created a sensation with their modelling of the very latest styles. Mrs. H. Wright, as commentator, contributed much to the show's success. Saturday afternoon Victoria Hall was filled to capacity for Fashion Fables, presented by Tots 'n Teens under the spon- sorship of Angela Bruce Chapter, LO.D.E. The stage was fittingly decorated with trellises and pots of spring flowers, with a highly effective background of murals by Mrs. Douglas Wilkes Jr. The show carried out story book them- es, styles for the younger sets being given prominence. Guests were welcomed by the Chapter's Regent, Mrs. Roy Irwin. An add- ed feature was provided by ballet pupils of Nancy Chisholm who danced three attractive numbers. Miss Patsy Parr, thirteen-year-old Toronto pianist and composer, made the draw for the door prize, a completely fitted cosmetic case. Winner was Mrs. Dick Mer- ry. The Patsy doll, donated by Mrs, Ruth Home, was won by Miss Veronica Forster. Miss Parr was presented with. a beautiful nosegay by four-year-old Harriet Anne Pearce. DOUBLE DILEMMA A motorcycle policeman followed a speeding motorist for four miles near Ipswich, ' Mass. before he caught up with him. The driver's alibi: "I thought it was my wife chasing me." PUTTING YOUR FOOT DOWN Men still die with their boots on, but usually one boot is on the accelerator. Sap's a-runnin'--and the family's out trying their hand ac "sugaring off."

Fluorescent lighting is quite dif: ferent, however, and the widely used bluetoned type accentuates the cool colors. As walls provide the largest sur- face in a room it is important to decide the degree of flatness or shine required. It is Interesting, and not too commonly known, that the velvety surface obtained by using flat paint on walls and ceiling provides better light dif fusion than that provided by high gloss. While the latter provides high washability, it produces glare rather than good light. In most homes the walls of a room will reflect from 50 to 60 percent of the light reaching them but this can vary widely accord- ing to the color used on the wall. White and ivory give the highest light reflection, as much as 85 percent and 75 percent respectiv- ely. A light gray can reflect as much as 35 percent, whereas a dark gray can drop to 15 percent reflection. An intense yellow will reflect 60 percent whilst an inten- se blue will only reflect 10 per- cent. While not many Oakville home- owners have rooms with' black walls that reflect 3 percent, many: of the new popular deep colors, such as deep green and deep blue--iwill reflect only 5 percent to 10 percent. Next to walls, floors and rugs are considered as secondary ° sources of light re- flection depending on their color. Furniture comes next. Obviously such variation in re- flection power constitutes an im- portant part of your decorating scheme and will determine the number of lamps and wattage nec- essary for the room and the pur- Dose for which it is used. Fluorescent lighting for the home is not common, perhaps be- cause many. homemakers are mot sure of its possibilities, advan- FROM YOUR COLOR COUNSELOR --RUTH D. SUNLEY-- COLOR AND LIGHT C.P.T.

A room that combines both incandescent and fluorescent lighting is usually a successfully lit room as the lat- ter provides general illumination and the former serves as accent lighting. Lighting, used decoratively, is also not common in most homes. Cornice lighting that will send an even flow of light over a wall can create a stunning effect and at the same time illuminate the room. A fluorescent strip con- cealed behind a, valance box at the window can suggest daylight and accentuate the color in the drapes. Concealed lights under frosted glass built into the tops of low cabinets will achieve a diffusion of light that can be most effect- ive. This same type of treatment can be used on a mantel where the light escaping upward will high- light the favorite painting. HE SURE IS! .
