Then, pick out one or two of the w all paper colors and use In the drapes.

Fern and foliage patterns are often among the best designed. Stylized patterns and geometric patterns are fre quently desirable. Good period pat terns are frequently available for period rooms, and these are fa irly easy to select. If you have a valuable Oriental rug, however, you do not want to introduce either too much pattern or color In the draperies. In this case, the rug is the main item in the room, and other furnishings should be as plain as possible to To tchieve unity in roomt. upholstery. Here again, let this be the only pattern in the room, with drapes and rugs on the plain side.

Finding It d if ficult to support both wives, he asked the court to relieve him of Ws alimony payments. However. During the breakfast rush, a restaurant chef became annoyed by a mounting stack of d irty dishes. He told the dishwasher to move them out of his way, but the latter was slow to comply. When the chef grew more Insistent, the dishwasher became very angry and finally gave his tormentor a jolting uppercut to the jaw. The chef was injured, and put in a claim for workmen's com pensation. At the hearing the res taurant owner opposed the claim, saying that the dispute was purely a personal m atter between the two employees. But the court granted the chef an award. • • • Do Barmaids Have the Same Rights as Bartenders?

One or two colors In a room are far more effective than three or four.
