The lmantsc are line, form, texture and color, and they should be combined properly in individual pieces as well as in the entire room. Furnilure with predominantly straight lines gives an appear ance of stability and force while curved lines retiect gracciui, delicate effects. Every room contains both types of lines. But emphasis on straight lines produces a mas culine or business - UKe eiiect, Curved lines contribute to ; more feminine atmosphere, Illusion Created Vertical lines create an illu sion of height and slcndcrncss, as in straight-backed chairs. They usually are more formal than hoirzontal lines, which lead the eye across areas and create a short, wide effect. Di agonal lines arc forceful and stimulating. The most common forms used arc the square and rectangle seen in sofas, chairs, chests and tables. There are no restric tions on the combination of forms, so long as they comulc menl each other and create a desired effect. Textures help set a mood and reflect the character of mate rial how it feels or how it looks as if it would feel if il were touched. Texture Combinations Mutiny, coarse textures go wen wmi karly American fur nilure and ranch homes. Soft, silky textures create an elegant appearance and combine well wilh formal furnishings. Textures should be considered in conned ion with light absorb ing or reflecting properties. Stone, unpulished wood, car peting, and burlap all absorb light. Satin, polished furniture, glass and tile reflect it. Color is one of the first items noticed and should be planned carefully for overall and accent effects. Warm colors suggest sunlight and range from red to yellow on the color scale. Cool colors, from greens to blue and purple, reflect the colors of nature and are relaxing choices for bed rooms or libraries. 300 Barnett Road some.

Metal Cleaning Advice Given by Specialists CORVALLIS-As holidays ap proach, homemakcrs are ad vised of new products that can ease the chore of keeping silver, copper, brass and other metals shiny clean. Bcrnice Strawn, Oregon State University home management specialist, says that silver pol ishes arc now available which both clean and protect against tarnishing. For a simple way to quick clean a quantity of silver tableware, fit a piece of alumi num foil into the bottom of a pan and put the silver on top of it, she says. Foil should be Ihe size of the pan bottom. Cover silver with hut water and add a teaspoon of baking soda. In a few minutes, tarnish will be de posited on the foil. Do not use this method fur hollow-handled pieces or for oxi dized silver patterns, says Miss Strawn, When not in use, store silver in turnish-rcsistant flan nel or airtight plastic wraps. Brass and copper accessories will shun tarnish if given a "Shop at the Store Where You Park at the Door" empster's CHRISTMAS BONUS BOARD STRETCH YOUR GIFT DOLLARS! 10 to 50 MERCHANDISE BONUS ALLOWANCE -ON ALL FURNITURE PURCHASES OVER $49 UNTIL DECEMBER 24 Phone 773-4000 Year Eve entertaining often beauty treatment with kitchen cleaning wax. First remove tar nish with a copper cleaner or with vinegar and salt. Wash in hot sudsy water, rinse, and pol ish with a soft cloth. Then ap ply wax, the type used for the exterior of the refrigerator. Lacquer sprayed on the out side of clean silver, copper or brass also provides a protective coating but don't apply it to items which come in contact with food, the specialist empha sizes. These lacquers and waxes arc available at most hardware and department stores. If stainless steel looks spotted or dull, wash it wilh warm wat er, soap or a synthetic deter gent. Hinse, and polish dry wilh a soft cloth. Chromium finishes, such as found on toasters and olher ap pliances, do not tarnish but be come dull and covered wilh film. Clean wilh silver polish, wash in warm suds, rinse and polish with a cloth. Tips on I'cwlrr Pewter, an alloy of tin and other melnls, is very soft and must be handled carefully to avoid scratching. Wash in hot, sudsy water, rinse, and polish dry with a soft cloth. If tar nished, use a silver polish. A soft luster enhances pewter. Crystal vases and bowls will have added sparkle if washed in warm suds to which a few drops of household ammonia arc added. Hinse well, and dry. Wooden trays should be wiped with a cloth wrung out of cold water, then dried. Do not stand on edge to dry. Wood absorbs water and cracks or warps eas ily if left in contact with water. Salad bowls should be washed quickly in warm suds, rinsed with warm or cold water, and dried immediately. Do not soak woodenware or put il in an auto matic dishwasher. Salad servers and howls which have lost their finish can he smoothed when dry wilh sand paper, then rubbed wilh linseed oil. Wipe oil surplus oil and ex pose to air until odor is gone.
