Thinks Dominion is Safe From Invasion To the Editor Poreupine Advance Dear Sir: The news that a generous part of the $30,000,000 to be spent in Canada this year on defence is to be expended on the Pacific Coast presumâ€" ably to repulse an Oriental invasion is an excellent indication of the result of the war hysteria permeating in our midst. The Japanese threat to North Amerâ€" ican isolation is undclubtedly or the most outlandish myths ever perpetrated upon an apprehensive and gullible public. Not that the Japanese are a race of Conscienciousâ€" objectorsâ€"and are opâ€" posed to predatory aggressions. The Chinese aggression proves the fallacy of such thodught. The cold cruel facts are that the assiâ€" milation of the vast Chinese empire will tax the Sons of Nippon capabilities to the limit for the next century. To imagine that the Japanese are insane enough to cross the Pacific to infringe upon British territoryâ€"and inevitably bring the United States into the fray â€"is attribuing suicidal madness to ‘he bellicose military sect of Japan. The cold cruel fcts ar> that Canadz with or without cannons and fortificaâ€" tions as much national security as any nation on carth Expending millions on obsolete fortiâ€" fications in the Pacific and Atlantic is is of about as much avail to Canada as the great wall of China is to that country. S The mad dogs of Europe and Asiz have far more vulngrable and accessible prey than North America. If Canada becomes involved in war it will only be to come to the aid of the Mother Country. It pays to face the issue s@harely. We enjoy our great cesurity to a great extoent because few nations of the carth would dare the Does Not Support Spending Money for Canada‘s Deâ€" fence.

We asked him to talk about materials in a recent ofâ€"a â€"series of visits to famous interlor: decorators â€"and he: graciously complied with. fresh and practical ideas for the woâ€" man who must be her own decorator. Here ar> our‘ notes: Dress FPabrics For Decoratingâ€"Exâ€" cellent for draperies because they harig so beautifully. witheut lining which saves much work. (Most regular draâ€" pery materials require lining <o hanrg properly). . For drapery use without lining, he suggests foulards, towelling by the yard, linen (but wash before making up), dress rep, challis, gingham and the nubby weaves. For upholstery or slip covers, he likes wool serge, corâ€" duory (good for draperies tco. but has to be lined), tweeds and denims. Trimming For Acctents.â€"A good trimâ€" ming will add about fiftesn per cent. to the cost of a cover for upholstered furniture, but~ Mr. Mullem thinks it doubles the valug of the piece as far as style is concserned. He likes to get effects by contrasting textures and so he often uses a shiny cord welting with a dull surfaced fabric and vice versa. He uses miles of rayom rope welting which has a fine sheen and is availâ€" able in a wide varietyâ€"of colours. The uncut loop fringes are smarter he thinks thamnâ€"the cut or moss fringes, and he likes to put them on in unexâ€" perted ways. For instance, he someâ€" times does a scfa with separate cushâ€" ions for the back on which heâ€"uses two or three roaws of trimming on the front rather than ®n‘ the seams. He also likes to take aâ€"braid, or else cut ons from a stripe, and use it as banding for a chair seat or on a slipâ€"cover filaunce. He will also take a dramatic conâ€" trasting fringe and sew it in diagonal stripes on a plainâ€" drapery:â€" Orâ€" begins: with a piece of plain satin and sews tassels all over it at measured interâ€" vals. * Curtain Cuss.â€"Whenever possible Mr. Mullen advises both curtains and draâ€" peries to hang to the ficor. Sill lengths are apt to give the room a bobâ€"tailed look if you don‘t watch.out. This apâ€" plies to both sheer and heavy draperies and to glass curtains too. Whean you can‘t spend much on your curtains, use just sheers, then finish at the top with a contrasting valance or swagz and add contrasting tieâ€"backs. When using crgardy for curtains, have them.extra full. ard most favoured by dezcorators, and in synthetics, there are perfectly grand new rough weaves now available. Inâ€" cidentally, Mr. Mullen warns you to The Importance of Texture.â€"Fashâ€" ions in fabrics have followed the trend in women‘s dress, contends Mr. Mulâ€" lsn, and points out the gradual deâ€" velopmens from the formal broadcloth suits women used to wear to the sturdy rough tweeds they now prefer. He feels that this preference for rough texâ€" tures for everyday hard wear is here to stay in dress as in decoration beâ€" couse of their ‘practicality and preâ€" diz:ts that the only change here will be a gradual growing appreciation of the interesting‘ textures. Not only in the tweed weaves and the sweater-like sur= faces but in silks and synthetics as wall is texbure of first importance.

At the opposite end of the: texture scale are the silk~satins which lsad for more elegant rooms, espscially the hammered satins. ‘ â€"â€"The Easies{ Way As. For: Pattsrn.â€"Mr.. Mullen .conâ€" siders it of, far less 1mportan.,e than at any time in the. past He daogsn‘t care for more than\ono figursd design in a room, and oftsn doesn‘t use even that. . is his desire to create «a room that can‘t easily be copied. He ‘can do this better ‘by st'eex ‘ing Cclear of a pattern that cthers can get. Besides it is hardsr to design a really distinâ€" guished reom withcut relying too much on pattern than it is to get an effiect with pat;ornâ€"therefore. it takes. more art, which is:a challenge to Mr. Mullen And yet â€"he advises the less experienced dezorator to rely on gocod pattern beâ€" cause it is the easiest way to decorale ings and be sure you won‘t go wrong. So if you‘re Eot. tco sure of your deâ€" coratingz ~abflities, select the prettiest chintz or wall paper youâ€"can find and take your other colours from it, leaving it as the only pattern in the roomâ€" that is his advice. Composition Materials. bathâ€" rooms and kitchens, as well as for more dignified rooms, there‘is an increasing trerd toward the use of linoleum» wall covering. ‘This is available in versatile cclourings that have much to contriâ€" bute in smartness."

He also likes black hammered satin for upholstery with cord welting ir some incisive colour like chartreuse. His Recipe ~About Whiteâ€"Its importance will ccntinue, thinks Mr. Muller, as he goes rizht on using it. Good with deep draâ€" matic contrast or with the beige and pastel tints.. Generally speaking, he prefers the rastful colours to the more daring and thinks they will stay in style.
