(Copyright Jiy General Features Corp.) ; Milton Z.-How can a worn-, f an suddenly get so helpless? I Pearl Z.-An interior decor-: ; ator can save us money. ? . . . i Milton Z. - We've always r had a comfortable, attractive home. I've been proud of i; Pearl, the way she can take i an old beat-up chair and ' I' make it look like new with a fresh slip cover. She s han dy that way and has excel lent taste. That's why I'm mystified over her plan to hire a decorator now that our apartment is about to be painted. i We haven t suddenly come Into money. Suppose the guy j tells Pearl to throw out all i the furniture and buy new stuff? We can't, and she'll j 'only feel frustrated. We've: : been married 19 years and i she's never had any trouble 't deciding what color to use iot the walls, where to place ' the sofa, and what to hang f between the windows. But ' now she's at a loss, f , Somebody's been putting fancy ideas in her head. ?i f . Pearl Z. -Milton must trust f me. I want to make some ma-, jor changes in our apartment, 1 j' along with this painting job, and I need advice. He has : - tome old-fashioned ideas ?. about decorators, and he be-; ; licves all the jokes about them. But I know there are 1 i; some who' show you short J , cuts and tricks you'd never j , think of yourself. I'll find ! one who'll save us money in- j stead of making us spend , wildly. ! ': Actually I plan to use all i our old furniture, but in dif ;: ierent ways. Our son is 17 and i his bedroom looks too child ;. ish. I want to turn it into a . den for him. And there are other problems, such as whether to give away an old table from my mother or pro Bounce it an "antique" and ; have it prettied up, I'd like an expert's views, not Mil- tons, on that. The Council: All Jokes aside, Milton, life and apart ments can be beautiful with the aid of a decorator-provided Pearl tells him, her or them that all she wants is advice, not furniture. Now adays one can pay a modest flat fee for aid as to what to keep, what throw out, what match, what contrast, and where to place that handy, but ugly, sewing chest. What's your alternative, Milton? You and Pearl will push furniture around, trying various arrangements. She will buy a few new items. She will have your son's bed converted to a studio couch and the bureau replaced by a hi-fi cabinet. And she will have second thoughts, regrets, when she comes upon better, perltaps less expensive, ideas. , ' Insist that Pearl track down a skilled, unpretentious dec orator who welcomes the modest client merely asking ior a straight "steer," as sin cerely as he greets the help less but "loaded" one who commissions him to purchase even her door mat at umpty per cent profit, "just to make aure it's exactly right." In quiring about this, we were surprised to learn that stylists of this ilk do not pressure people like Milton and Pearl to buy anything new. They enjoy helping to "make do." Their "lake" is covered by a consultation fee. If Pearl proceeds as she'd like to do. her decorator would help her as follows: 1. He'd look over all the fur nishings and suggest what to do with each item. (And. Mil ton, there'd probably be less throwing out than if it were up to you. Maybe your mother-in-law's table has possi bilities.) 2. He'd help Pearl decide about paint colors, wallpaper, accessories, ac cents and those other "tech nical" points which give the average housewife night mares from indecision. 3. Hed draw up a floor plan for each room, indicating the best placement of furniture. All in all. there'd be some thing for everyone. Milton might save money in the end. Pearl would have "support" for her decisions, and their son would have a show-window study with nary a dis cordant touch in it. HAS HER SYMPATHY Oakland.
