A modern wife is su)Osed to have a head for figures, an eye for good de sign, a hand in community proj ectspafirm grip on her children, a sympathetic ear for the hus band's business problems and a mind of her own. i She needs the iron nerves of a circus juggler and .the com bined abilities of chef, decora tor, social worker and movie .siren, lamented a sympathetic woman who has been a consult ant to hundreds of housewives irPthe past decade.

We've made them lack good taste if they don't create a charming home. Actually, interior designing has little to do with taste. It requires- knowledge of good de sign. Unless a woman has time to study it, we shouldn't expect her to be an expert." Tastes Must Be Trained Mrs. Joseloff was interviewed In her office in a narrow two story building on East 51st Street.
