Wife of Congressman Likes Unusual Colors By ROSE McKEE Washington - Color can set a home apart. This is the case at the beau tiful home of Rep. Thor C. Tollefson (R-Wash.) and Mrs. Tollefson. The Congressman's wife has used an unusual color - soft lilac - for all but accent purposes in eye delighting living room. The walls, carpet, curtains -and some upholstered furni ture including a sofa - are soft lilac, Candles in crystal sconces over the fireplace are a deeper lilac. Mrs. Tollefson turned aside compliments on her imagin ative use of color. "It was largely an accident," she said. She explained that they bought their two-story brick home when the Congressman, who is now the lop Republic an member of the House Mer chant Marine committee, was forst elected to the House in 1946. About four years ago, the living room needed re-doing. They enclosed a porch on the garden side of the liv ing room and made it a part of the room. "Since we had French Pro vincial furniture, I thought a pink and while color scheme would be nice for the living room," Mrs. Tollefson told an interviewer from the Nation al Association of Home Build, ers. She began, daringly, with the piano. It had been painted white. The paint was begin ning to chip. She turned it into olive green. "Then," she said, "I start ed looking for a pink carpet. I had soft green in mind for the walls but I did not want them painted until I found the carpet. But I never could find the shade of pink I want ed - I didn't want a dusty pink and I didn't want shock ing pink." At one point someone sug gested she buy while carpet ing and have it dyed the shade she wanted but she ruled that out as nccdlcsly expensive. Eventually, she found a car pet sample in the lilac shade that now gives her living room its note of distinction. She liked the shade so well she carried it cut in the walls, curtains, and some of the fur niture. A few decorative articles carefully purchased on trips abroad and pieces of furni ture picker up at auction sales add charm to the room. A baroque mirror from Ven ice, with an attractive frame of glass, hangs over t ho sola. A colored glass rooster, also from Venice, sits on a colfcr table before a windowed wall looking to the garden. Sun light picks up the rooster's colors and makes him quite dazzling. Mrs. Tollefson said that while she likes to collect things for her home, she buys only what she knows she can use. Mixes Flowers Her living room is given further eye appeal by flower arrangements, for which she is noted. For six years, she was in charge of all flower ar rangements for the Congres sional club, an organization of wives of members of congress. Since the club meets weekly when Congress is in session, this took a considerable amount of her lime. Now, she is called in In help with the flowers when the club entertains for noted guests. In her own arrange ments, Mrs. Tollefson mixes real and artificial flowers. "Five years ago," she said. "I never would have dreamed of using artificial flowers but now they are so real looking and, of course, they are econ omical." She recently bought five Catholic Society Elects Rayburn New President Pony nayburn, long active member of Sacred 11 cart church, has been elected lo a two-year term as president of the men's Nocturnal Adora tion Society.
