By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The day may come when a woman cleans house simply by turning the hose on it. Paul McCobb, young New York designer, said new develop ments in synthetics in the next few years virtually could do away with house cleaning as women now know it. "Cleaning the living room could be just a matter of turning the hose on it," McCobb said, "although frankly I don't think women would want it that way." McCobb isn't predicting what new synthetics will appear his business is design, not chemistry. But whatever they are, he said, they "must not ape wood or fabrics. They will have to have pelasing qualities which belong to them alone." Turning to comment on what is ahead for 1955, McCobb pre dicted more lightness and brightness in home furnishings, decorating runs about 10 years," "The cycle of color in home McCobb said in an interview.

The feeling of spaciousness and light has to be created in some way." McCobb person ally favors white walls and such bright ac cents as lemon yellow and avo cado green in other parts of the room. A coat of white paint, he said, also causes wall or room shape defects to recede, but dark colors only highlight them. "And white is the perfect background shade," he said. McCobb predicts an increas ing use of such metals as brass, copper and stainless steel not only because of their easy main tenance, "but also because they give furniture a light, spacious look which wood alone cannot do. Not that we're headed for an all-metal era. Metal will be com bined with wood. "A real revolution in furni ture tastes occurs about every 25 years," McCoTib said. "The cur rent contemporary trend hasn't nearly run its course." V - OIVI IASTIK TIMI Blooming Rose Busfces Lilies ' Mums Hydrangeas : Azaleas .
