With Hidarn in New
Blended
Furniture
A blending and coordina
tion of traditional 18th and
19th century designs with the
simple modern lines of con
temporary fashions, keynotes
the spring '61 showings of fur
niture and home furnishings.
. , Detailing ol traditional piec
es has become more simple,
less ornate while "modern"
has become less austere look
ing and has taken on more en
hancing details.
This kinship of traditional
with modern, light with dark
woods, conventional with dar
ing color-makes home decor
a real challenge for the imag
inative homemaker. ,
."Now, the only rule one
needs to remember is choose
pieces which suit a specific
purpose and please the eye,"
suggests the Home Furnish
ings Industry Committee.
Luxurious Modern
Modern furniture was never
more versatile and functional
nor richer in appearance than
the new groups. Chairs, un
believably comfortable are
molded of plywood or fiber
glass and plastic. Soft easy
seating is achieved, with mold
ed foam rubber.
Upholstered and tufted in
velvet . with lightly scaled
sculptured wood arms and
legs, these chairs seem to re
late to some French Empire
designs. An extreme merger
of traditional forms and mod
ern techniques, it is indica
tive, however, of other inter
esting new developments.
Unfettered by traditions,
handsome science-age mater
ials and techniques contribute
to modern furniture. Door
fronts of a china cabinet may
be of molded, color impregna
ted, translucent plastic. Draw
er and cabinet pulls of brass
and enamel, or thin plywood
molded to leaf form may ac
cent sleek facades.
Tradiiional Styles
Traditional late 18th, or
early 19th century groups are
probably, more important in
this year's market than they
have been for many years. In
these, mahogany may be a
rich dark brown, or a warm
mellow medium tone. (Never
a red cast.)
Frequently too, the hand
some pattern of cherry is tint
ed to one of these deeper
tones. Brass hardware boldly
accents cabinets, drawer
fronts and is used as small
railings on the back of side
boards. -
While the 19th Century is
famous for its rococo Victor-

DECORATIVE Functional and decorative modular units are
highly fashionable for today s smaller home. These pieces
are extremely versatile and point up to the taller, more
slender look of accesssory storage and utility units. The
chests, cabinets and hutches in the collection are Italian-
inspired white finishes with delicate gold stripings. The

ian furniture, the adaptions
made in the new collections
have a clean trimness by com
parison. Queen Anne Colonial
Early American furniture
rates tops In high quality lines
as well as in budget groups.
Adaptions from the Queen
Anne era are new. The grace
fully curved leg with its little
rounded foot; the arched top
of tall cabinets and door pan
els and other fine details, re
moves some of the robust
homespun feeling of previous
collections.
O r i g 1 n a lly Queen Anne
furniture was often made of
walnut. Many of the new
groups are cherry, maple or
pine, finished in the well lik
ed lighter "carmel tones." Out
standing is a group of all ma
hogany in light, almost honey,
tone..
Typical too, of the Queen
Anne era are pieces in some
what larger scale than prev
iously. An over sized dining
chair for the head of the fam
ily, a wing chair for two,
practical sized end and lamp
tables are outstanding.
Provincial in Colors
French provincial has tak
en to gay and soft colored
lacquers. Complete bedroom
groups are often pale blue,
light grey, or soft pink.
Brighter tones on cabinets,
buffets and dining chairs ac
cent the brown fruit wood
finishes.
Although the essence or
spirit of the antique is main
tained, the simple elegance
modern American women ap
preciate is dominant.
New Raincoats Take
Water Like Duck
Spring showers are fun
when you're wearing a smart
new raincoat that takes to
water like a iluck! 'Many of
the new spring styles are also
designed for fair-weather
wear, thereby doing double
duty.
Specially treated cotton tap
estries are popular in three
quarter length styles while
the traditional yellow "slick
er" in rubberized fabric is
featuring cape-sleeves for a
new look. The. trench coat,
with its air of foreign in
trigue, is now a classic in spe
cially treated combed cotton
poplin.

lio Outstanding
In Hew Fashions
This season's fashions are
particularly interesting be
cause there is no one out
standing silhouette theme -but
rather a composite effect.
A look of youthful slender
ness is the end result achiev
ed by low set waistlines, un
belted princess lines, and by
gently shaped and elongated
bodices.
Waistlines have simple def
initions marked by sashes and
leather belts.
Shorter than ever is the
word for hemlines. Popular
length is one inch below the
knee, but not higher.
Full Shirts
Controlled full shirts shape
themselves into narrowed
hemlines with pouf effects,
flounces and godets.
Intricate folds, pleats and
panels create an easy look of
grace by falling naturally into
place for fullness or slender
shaping.
For the first time in many
years, designers are pointing
up the importance of the bias
cut which fluidly molds diag
onal folds, shapes up flatter
ing cowls and gives freedom
of movement without cling
ing to slender skirt shapes.
Every woman will want at
least one costume in her
spring wardrobe. A composi
tion of several well - inte
grated parts, the costume
takes its companions in solid
colors and prints to match
dresses to coat linings, blouses

Coflon Knit Takes On Important Role
In casual and sporstwear
collections cotton knit takes
on an important role in
stripes, polka dots and solids
like daffodil, tangerine, tur
quoise, lilac.
Bolder stripes combining
white, yellow, orange and hot
pink are a striking addition.

color combinations.

For town, smart wool knits
remain favorites with busy
women who enjoy their wrin
kle-shedding characteristics.
New styling and fabulous
new colors add additional ap
peal to the wonderful "on the

wool knit or blended knit cos
tume. For dress-up wear other
than sports, knits boast ex
citing scarf or cowl necklines,
soft gathers at the waist, con
trast stitching or show off in
the fairly new jacquard knit.
