MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. ORE. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5. 1961 Thought Should Be Given Design in Dining Area When you make your choice of dinnerware remem ber that like your silver it is expected to last for many years.

Main SP 2-2330 S&H GREEN STAMPS will harmonize with almost any decor unless it is very modern. Many of the pret tiest patterns made by the 32 molders who are members 61 the Melamine Council are in flower designs and such pat terns lend themselves to at tractive table settings. Also, one is less likely to tire of these designs. One out of every four American homemakers are us ing melamine today, accord ing to Miss Moore, its break resistant qualities proving es pecially ' popular in homes where there are small chil dren. As this dinnerware may be had in both formal and in formal patterns and in both brilliant and soft colors, it is not difficult to find a design suitable to almost any dining room decor,, the stylist says. Furniture Should . . Not Be Scrubbed The well-scrubbed look may be right for the small fry in your family, but don't scrub your furniture. Many conscientious home makers used - to wash their furniture with their spring and fall housecleaning. Now adays it's dry cleaning for well-kept furniture, with wax substituting for water. Water can actually damage wood furniture according to Luclle Bush, director of John son's Consumer Service. Water can cause the grain to swell and crack, and may cause veneer failure by soft ening the glue. Additional damage can be caused by the soap residue that is often dif ficult to remove and leaves the surface dull. Daily dusting of furniture is desirable, and new push button waxes will remove dust and 'develop - a shine all in one. These may be used on all types of furniture, and materials used in furniture in cluding wood, leather, Formi ca, porcelain, brass, vinyl, and marble; for plastic counter tops and wall tile, too. DANISH MODERN The fresh, exciting concept of Danish modern moves its well established place in the living room to give traditional elegance and comfort to the bed room. Here the rich, light walnut finish on cherry veneers sparks the modern lines of ' furniture and accessories to make up a most elegant room decor. From Sears, Roebuck and Co. New Styling Being Introduced Into Carpets in 1 961 Season Hnmpmfikpm shonnin? for new carpet this year will find that they will be able to Duy " lot nf car-net." for their money! This happy report can be made from a. preview of the new carpet styling Deing introduced for the new season. Brilliant colorings, heavy textures and many elegant de signs constructed into "heal thv hunks" nf OArnet Dile will be available at "pocketbook- flttmg" prices. The broadened caroet color spectrum developed during the past two years gets an other boost in" the 1961 offer In hv the use of hew. deep er pigments, and the clever use of .' textures to acnieve unique- tones and shadings. ' Cheesecloth, diapers, flan nel or wool cloths are recom mended for dusting. Shun coarse or open-mesh material, synthetic fabrics or new cloths that may be sized or linty, Mrs. Bush advises. Never use an oiled or treated cloth on waxed furniture'; as this will make it smeary. ; y Never let a damp cloth rest on a wood surface as it may damage the finish. "Texture for color's sake" describes the design tech niques creating these subtle coloring effects. Handcrafted textures, swirling light looped designs, bulky curl - loops, "wood-carving" ripple tones, wavy straited multi-level piles and long shaggy yarns-looped and uncut-are used to develop the new hues. . For example, a yellow-green dye used in tight, velvety pile glows a vibrant gold-green. The same dye applied to heav ier, shaggy texture takes on a deeper olive shade. The "texture artists" have even been at work on the familiar plush pile stylings. Several carpet mills have in troduced small loops into an overall plush pile surface. This has resulted in a two tone effect caused by the va rying play of the light on the "rough-smooth" texture. The carpet stylists, however, have not been content to create new colors solely through texture. Dramatic colors now brighten the palette - with true yellow, true red, true green and even a true gold being shown. Boldly Dtapened Formerly muted tones have boldly deepened. The purples. for example, have been given a strong bluish cast as a de parture from the lavender or orchid tones which have be come very popular carpet col ors. Another new color is henna, a vibrant red rust. With the growing taste for Early American and 18th Cen tury furnishings, several mills have brought back some deli cate floral-patterned carpets and rugs. Many of these de signs reproduce the feeling of the elegant Georgian and Re gency periods. Some use wide ly scattered bouquets on soft pastel backgrounds. Several of these patterns feature as many as 88 different colored yarns, but they are cleverly styled to provide restrained, glowing snaamgs. -. Man-Mad Fibers The use of man-made fibers continues to offer style excit ment in the 1961 carpets. Con tinuous filament nylons yarns are now constructed into new textures that make the pile appear softer and less lus trous. The revived Interest in rugs -both room-size and area rugs -is also apparent in the 1961 B Children's Shoe Styles Taken From '61 Adult Fashion Young girls playing "let's pretend" - can step into Moth er s shoes the easy way - in Lilliputian adaptations of grown-up shoe styles, reports Shoe Fashion . Service of Leather Industries of Ameri ca. The smart new all leather little girls' shoes fit as com fortably bs Cinderella s sup per, and are subtle youthful copies of the latest adult fashions.

The use of border fringes made from the same yarns that go into the carpet can be found in a good num ber of the new rug line. A new collection of hand- carved rugs, with designs cut into deep-pile all-wool yarns, has been introduced, A wide variety of hand-carved pat terns are offered, including border and center motifs as well as medallions and scat tered designs.
