Unusual fabrics included a vegetâ€" .bale garden design chintz of ripe vegeâ€" tables entwined around a bean pole stipe; then there was a seed packet motif and a brilliant bird design with a faint overpattern of chicken wire. The air corps has an exvert working on camouflage. . he is Captain William Pahlmann,â€"until recentlyvy a New York designer who has had more to do wi‘h changing decorating styles than anyâ€" body in the last five years. â€" He came up to the big town from Texas and has been making conversation at a great rate with ‘his startling and original ideas about furniture and fabrics and such matters. We‘ll bet he‘ll think of camouflage that will lead the Germans and jans on many a wild gcose chase! Using Leftâ€"covers The week before lie left for the Arâ€" my, he gpened his last group of rooms which .he called "Pahlmann Proverbs‘"‘ â€"informal rcoms they were that used leftâ€"cvers and made overs,. . . . .out of a hypothetical Aunt Minnie‘s attic. Since we‘ll all be faced with the proâ€" blem ~of makeâ€"shifting or else| doing without, it was a timely array of ideas with which he doffed his hat to the decorating world. j Souvenirs Novel wall treatments included a fireâ€" place wall napered with such an array of cddments as might be found on a bulletin board or in a batch of souvenâ€" irs saved from past trips â€" posters and luggage*"stickers, menus, snapshots, post catÂ¥isâ€"and such like. Another room had the main wall papered with a swag picture fram» wall paper, designed by Pahlmann, which provided wall paper frames into which you place your favyâ€" orite photographs. and added painted medallions copying the flowers on the curtains, then finâ€" ished»â€"with a nainted border of pink tAd added some jauntyâ€"proverbs written on with a brush here and there. Several good stout coats of clear varâ€" nish would give a floor like this a fairly practical ~surface. In several other rooms he toock cotton rugs in different colors and had them sewed together to make roomâ€"sized rugs. One such room had the.big rug made of squares of small cotton rugs in geranium pink, chartreuse and green. In another room he achieved a striped carpet by sewing together strips of cotton rugs in greens and pink. The rug shortage inspired Pahlmann to do several exciting things with floors. In one reom, he painted the floor white Here is something really new in wall paperâ€"a deâ€" sign of swags and wall picture frames to set off inâ€" teresting nhotographs. â€" When photographs are not available, the frames are nice as decoration for they Ideas for Floors and Walls and Makeâ€"Shift Furniture are Featured in Pahimann‘s Last Rooms Before Joining the Army SALVAG ING OLD ul PLEASANT HoMES In other words, the man has no reâ€" spect for convention. . .that‘s why evâ€" erybody watches what he does. . Why he has contributed so much that has been really new in decorating these past few years. Even if you wouldn‘t feel comfortable in the rooms he decâ€" orates, his ideas will jerk you up from your doldrums and stimulate you to getâ€"out of ~your decorative rut. And most important of all, they will inspire you to salvage disciuirded furnishings and put them into circulation agin. So we repeat â€" when Pahlmann puts his mind to camouflage the Germans and the Japs had better look out. * Painted furniture:â€"was.seen in nearly every one of these informal rooms. â€" In a dining room, an old tavern table left in its natural wood finish had a bright filower and scroll motifâ€"/painted on its top and was flanked by two early Amâ€" erican kenches paintedâ€"green. "In anâ€" cther room a pair of painted modern chests were painted in cream color with painted ivy trailing over the drawer fronts. . .in the. same room an: old Duâ€" tch marquetry cabinet was also paintâ€" ed cream with ivy motifs. A table that let dcwn from the wall in a modern room was painted in spatterâ€"dash. of coral and cerulean blue. Another unâ€" orthodox painted job was a lahulla straw mat with a Swedish flower deâ€" sign painted on it. . . .and used in a room with a Pennsylvania ‘Dutch pine cupboard and a pair of bleached Vicâ€" torian chests. In a powder room, a seed packet chintz covered the walls, while an old piano stool had a padded cushion top that looked like a tomato.

The audiences thoroughly abpreciated the gocd work of the local boys ~and the only regret is that the house"was not crowded for each perâ€" formance. The show deserved record attendance on its own merits. The matâ€" inee brought a big house and the youngâ€" sters were delighted with the fine show with its fun and music. At the evening. shows, the grownâ€"ups were equally pleased with the clever and effective work of the Porcupine Minstrels. The event was under the capable direction of Mr. W. King. Costumes, stage setâ€" tings and other details were looked afâ€" ter with professional finish. For the stage settings, lights and other assistâ€" ance the minstrels were indebted to Mr. Hugh Richardson, whose experience and art were of much value.
