PAGE SIX - THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, 'APRIL "13, 1948 Home Decoration, Presented to Lyceum Art Club As the warmer weather steals on us and the earth changes its coat, every woman gets an /Mirge to change her wardrobe and every- thing about her, and so it is that at this time of the year that home- makers turn their homes inside out and rooms take on a surprising "new look." With all this vague something in the air it was most timely that the members of the Lyceum Club and Woman's Art Association were addressed yester- day afternoon by Dorothy Lash Colquhoun of the Homemakers' Depattment of she Robert Simp- son Company, Toronte. Mrs. Colquhoun is a real home- maker's advisor and her days are filled finding solutions to knotty problems on interior decorating. She brought along her numerous gadgets which had proved them- selves answers to- a housewife's prayer. First of these was a "Header, a wide strip of material to be stitched flat to the top of curtains. In this strip are little channels in which metal grips can be so, placed as to distribute the fullness evenly or in a variety of ways, groups of pleats .or box pleats. Another "Header" was made of a similar strip with slots cut out to permit the gathers on the right side to come close. The joy of these gadgets is that they can be slip- ped out and replaced after laund- ering the curtains without sewing. Both wooden and plastic' rings are being used for holding drapes, valances and swags, Mrs.. Colqu- | houn said, and showed some dif- ferent types of heavy rings and fascinating plastic "arms." How these holders and rings can be used to good effect was shown in a number of colored sketches of window arrangements that Big picture leaded windows and awkward dormers were ail "dressed" in pleasitig styles in a variety of materials. Mrs. Colquhoun mentioned that gingham is being used widely this to see. vear for curtains, bedspreads and | trim, but she maintained that there is no iron-clad rule about the | speaker held up for her audience | windows, | Classical Music what is not. the house and she what is good an Whatever suits pleases the 'owner is right, said. As a point of interest she told her listeners what other women were doing: with their homes, One has grown ivy up the sides and across the top of a big picture window, whieh for her particular room, overlooking a lake, is far more attractive than any curtains. Another has a small one-room apartment which she has 'painted grey-pink, with a ruby red dress- ing room. Over her bed on which she spread a red corduroy cover was a small but obtrusive window. She turned the window into a niche for a branching driftwood log, bleached bone white, on which she hung all manner of gay trinkets. The same adventurer painted her kitchen floor green, then splatter- etd brushfuls of different colors over it, getting a colorful hit-and- miss effect. Paint works miracles on all sorts | of things, Mrs. Colquhoun de- clared, {recalling a log cabin that she visits where pickle kegs and ironing tables have been treated and decorated, and serve as coffez and cocktail tables, most success- fully. She concluded by recommending the following books: "Interior Decorating," by Homes and Gar- dens Magazine; "How To Make Your Home Attractive," by Kate | Harvey; "The Cook is in the Par- lor," by Marguerite McCarthy, and "Casserole Cookery," by | Marion Tra®ey. |. Prior to the delightful talk a| | social tea was held in the chapel. | The members and guests were | greeted by Mrs. Emerson Chant, president, and Mrs. J. Norvall Willson and Miss May Dillon poured tea. Following Mrs. Colquhoun's talk, Mr. Albert Robinson, field repre- | sentative of Community. Concert Service spoke briefly on the three | kinds of music--*"foot," "heart" and "head" and how all may un- derstand and enjoy them. A sound. film showing artists in recital afternoon to a close. brought New Looks, New Ideas Featured at YWCA Styles seen at the Regional Y.W. C.A. Conference during the week- end definitely had the "new look' .. . and a very pretty look 'it was. Tailored or dressmaker suits, skirts slim and ballerina, with daint blouses both tailored and frilly, stole the show, although we noticed a number of smart one-piece dress- es, Gray seemed to be the out- standing basic color among the girls, although black ran it a close second. - Kelly green and various shades of blue vied with the neu- tral tones for predominance. Blous- es for the most part were white. One costume which particularly caught our eye consisted of 4 grey . flannel skirt which got its extreme «fullness from unpressed pox pleats. The wajsthand seemed fo. extend over the Hips in a form of panniers. The top was a Kelly green jersey pullover, with three-quarter length sleeves and zippered up the back. With *the outfit was worn Kelly green baby doll shoes, a silver dog- collar, matching bracelet and large silver button earrings worn near 'the top of the ear, Over her ensem.- ble, the wearer threw a pure white, barrel shortie coat with large silver buttons which. matched the ear- riggs, and a multi-colored square in tones of yellow and rust, tied at the throat. We also noticed a two-piece out- fit consisting of a white wool pull- over worn with a white Peter Pan eyelet collar, and a pencil-slim skirt of black wool. One visitors at the panel discussion on Sunday wore a cute forward tilted hat of violets and mauve veiling. Matching it were her blouse and gloves of mauve also. We liked a ballerina skirt of black velvet; a tailored blouse of blue jersey styled with a self tie | caught with a sequin butterfly; a grey moire silk dress with a hip drape which formed a bustle at the back; a grey wool crepe suit with pin stripe, fashioned with a pencil- | slim skirt, and fitted tailored jac- ket, with slim sleeves ending in pointed cuffs.

Well, you can. You can do it on Thursday evening of ; this week at Adelaide House. | The exhibition "Four Women Who Paint" recently shown in the . Fine Art Gallery of the T. Eaton Co., College Street store, Toronto, was brought to Oshawa and hung at the Y.W.C.A. over the week-end. | The "Four" concerned: Rody Ken- | ny Courtice, Coziel Haworth, Yvon- {| ne McKague Housser and Isabel McLaughlin, all of Toronto, have | consented to come to. Oshawa on | Thursday evening. Those who are willing to take the steps necessary to the enjoyment of what is really good in the field of contemporary painting will welcome the oppor- | tunity of conversation with these | artists. As the catalogues of the Cana- dian shows held. at the 'Art Gallery of Toronto over a pericd of years will testify these painters have 'ar- | rived." Their work is not .pretty. Nor is it of the picture postal-card, quires neither vision nor depth to execute, and which, therefore, de- [mands nothing ®of the spectator ! save .somnolent acquiescence, Their | work is mature; it is creative. They realize that the artist's job is not | to copy but to interpret. {| On the program, too, will be the { showing of a recent film "Henri | Matisse at Work." This deals with the career of the now aging re- | nowned French artist Matisse, and {comes to us through the courtesy | of the French embassy at Ottawa. The program for the evening begins at 8.15, Refreshments will be served at its close. » Oshawans through these art ex- hibitions, films and lectures gt the Y.W.C.A. now have at least a nod- ding acquaintance with modern painting.
