try to describe four elements
needed to create Deauiy anu or
der in a room.
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.

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

ish with a soft cloth. Then ap

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.
