By KAY SIIEKWOOD
NKA Sliiff Writer
There's a now design for living
that should intrigue anyone le
loniiiE to a one-bath family. It's
called "priva.onim," and com
bines the luxury of privalc baths
with the possibility ol realization
on a less than munificent budget.
The idea of such an arrange
ment tor general family use may
come somewhat as a shock, but re
call:
There are qtiite a few folks still
around who can tell you what a
luxury indoor bathing facilities
were not too many years ago,
And any homemnker who has
had to arbitrate (he red hot sub
ject of hath priority will welcome
even the hoinninis of a solution
to filling two adults and several
school bound children into the bath-
intj area.
The brain child of the plumb
tng industry initially, it was first
tried in Miami, Florida, within he
framework of a standard house
plan.
It is now being planned for con
ill notion in several other stales
Hero's how it works: As shown
In sketch, a common bath-shower
is shared by two rooms.
Each room, however, has its own
lavatory, toilet, dressing area and
closet facilities.
Such centering ' of bathing
dressing-grooming facilities gives
more room for living.
Storage goes into (he dressing
area, leaving more room in the
bedroom.
The bedroom becomes, in other
than sleeping hours, a place for re
taxation.
There's room for reading, writ
big, radio or TV enjoyment. '
In effect, the design provides for
overai UluwU of quiet to which
members of the family can retreat
for rest and relaxation.
Coslwiso, especially in new con
struction, piping and plumbing is
centered in two areas with a con
sequent1 saving over plumbing in a
four bath home, for example.
fc'limination of two tubs and two
showers which would be necessary
in the case of separate baths for
each reduces cost measurably.
This is dream stuff for many of
us, right now. But it is an in
triguing peek at what we can ex
pect in many homes on a not-too-distant
tomorrow.
New Wailpaper And Pictures
Stepping out this year is a new
twosome wallpaper and pictures.
The reason: many new wallpapers
are getting the textured treatment
According to Mrs. Mary L
Brandt, one of New York's deco
rating authorities, they're a per

Wall;
Do you want a beautiful wood
paneled wall with an exquisite pat'
tern ot contrasting grain and tex
ture? Then, here's an idea. Cut
your panel hoards to exactly fit
the wall. Then, lay them out on
the floor and carefully select each
hoard so that you have the ideal
combination of contrasting boards
next to each other. For best re
sults, you may wish to finish the
panel boards before installing. If
you use such lovely, tawnv-toned
woods as western red cedar or
Douglas fir. you can use clear
lacquers or varnishes to retain
their lovely, golden colors.
Rougher The Better
For the man who doesn't like to
paint his house any oftener than
necessary, rough-sawn siding is the
answer. It holds paint or stain
about twice as long -is planed
wood.

You might think that with all of
the portable power in the market
circular saws, jig saws and spe
cial saw attachments for electric
drills that the hand saw had gone
out of style.
Well, it hasn't. Tackle a warm
weather chore a good distance
from the house and source of pow
er and you'll be glad to have this
standard old-fashioned cutting tool
in your shop.
Of course, if you're tackling
something as big as constructing
a garage or porch, rent, buy or
borrow a power unit and get some
one to show you how to use it.
But for building the kids a
sandbox, or when repairing some
tairs or even cutting tomato
stakes, a hand saw will do all
you want it to do and perhaps
do it more accurately.
The basic saw for every handy
man is the wood-cutting hand saw.
It s generally 20 or 24 inches long
i26 inches is preferred), it has a
wide, tapered, metal blade, wood
handle and differs widely as the
number of teeth per inch and their
set.
Number of teeth per inch is the
method by winch saws are classi
fied, generally. Classification is
known as the "point" system.
Thus, a 12-point saw is one that
has 12 teelh to the inch.
Rip saws have four-to five-and-
one-half teeth per inch. They'rej
used for cutting with the grain ol
the wood, and make a coarse
cut.
The crosscut saw, used for cul
ling across the groin of the wood,
has from six to 12 teelh per inch,
and gives a fairly fine cut.
For the handy man who is jusl
beginning to equip his shop, the
first, basic saw is an eight-point
crosscut sow. It will give a moder
ately fine cut and is versatile
enough so that it will handle rip
ping jobs he's likely to encounter.
Keep the saw clean and dry.
Give it a light wiping with ma
chine oil after use. or protect it
with an oxidation-resistant polish.
Some authorities suggest that
you oil or paralfin the sides of
the blade use oil when sawing
green wood, paraffin on lumber
that you may want to finish if a
particular piece of wood gives you
trouble.
After the saw has been in use
for some lime the "set" of the
teeth may need restoring. The set
refers to the amount each tooth
is bent alternately left and right
away from the saw blade.
There are toolh-setling tools in
the market that will restore the
set. If you lack time or patience
to do this exacting job. you'd bet
lei have it done professionally.
In addition to the hand saw.
equip yourself with one of those
utility saws with a pistol-grip han
dle and interchangeable blades.
It's shaped like a keyhole saw
but is smaller in size.
With it you can do much of the
work performed by' the keyhole
or compass saw interior cutouts,
curves and the hack saw. ,
If you figure on doing much met
al cutting, adding or replacing
plumbing for example, get a regu
lar hack saw.
For cutting curves and circles,
get a coping saw.
You'll find a wide variety of
blades for the latter two saws, in
bolh fine and coarse cut.
As a blade becomes dull, re
place it. '
With the proper saw you'll do
any job better. And you won't be
dependent on a power source when
tackling the smaller jobs.
Q What is the correct angle at
which to saw? M. P.
A With the regular wood saw.
about 45 degrees to face of work
when crosscutting; about 60 de-
grees when ripping.

orative wall objects.
What's so wonderful about these
textured effects? They are easy
on the eyes, give the wall a
warm colorful covering, conceal
possible defects in the wall, and
create a soft neutral background
for a favorite picture.
In the photo above, note the un
usual treatment for showing off
a series of handsome Hogarth
etchings. The background is a
silken-textured wallpaper with the
look and richness of a fine silken
weave. The excitement in this par
ticular paper is its cloud-like col
oringsblue gray with undertones
of pink. Ceiling is pink to belnd
in with one of the textured
"threads" (see inset closeup) giv
ing a glowing pink skv to this
beautiful foyer-dining area.
I his year, says Mrs. Brandt,
"the coarser weaves in textured
wall papers are giving way to
the more finely woven look, to ap
pear like closely knit threads in
costly linens.
Some have the soft nurrinff
look of velvet, others the smooth
silky eel of luscious fabrics from
the Orient. There is a strong trend
toward the "rubbed effect. ' nrl
toneon tone. similar to the old
Chinese rubbings, to get a mot

as in all home furnishings, the
new trend is toward the opulent
look."
