A snowy white- draperies. Floral print creates English look By Barbara Hartung Q. I have a very plain bed- room edroom to which I'd like to give a country English look, .al- though I have no English- tstyle furniture. Can I create this feeling • through fabric alone? — R.P. A. You could go a long way in creating a•country English look in your bedroom with fabric -and. accessories, even, though your furniture may be simply plain traditional or contemporary. One of the charms of coun- try .English is the use of fab- ric, particularly of large or small .floral patterns with many colors, sometimes -in a polished finish. Start with a plain -colored carpeting and a slightly lighter shade of 'paint for the wall. Take the color inspira- tion for the carpeting and walls from your favorite country English print. Use the print for generous draperies and for the bed- spread. Or instead of a print bedspread, use the print for a dust ruffle and top the bed with a comforter in a solid shade chosen from the print fabric. Add charming wood - framed, mirrors, interesting floral prints or small paint-, ings, jardinieres and rustic baskets for flowers and sen- ,timental items such as fami- ly photographs. - - Q.

At wit's end by Erma Bombeck Our children have never understood what "kind of people" come home from a vacation to a stack of news- papers that have been piling. up for three weeks. They say a newspaper is perishable. It's like pigging out on .leftovers that have turned green. My ,husband and I ~ are those "kind of people We crawl around the spoutings, in the bushes and tall grass until we have har- vested a stack of rain -soak- ed, sunbleached news- papers. Then we sit down and absorb what has hap- pened in our absence. . I read reviews of movies that are no longer showing, horoscopes that mean .no- thing, funerals there were, held, and sales have miss- ed. My husband reads about games . that were played, stocks that have soared or plummeted, government policies that were made without him and weather that has patsed. Sometimes it takes days to scan the columns, the comics .and • the ads. When we emerge, what do we have to • show for it besides . hands stained with ink? It's sotto hard to explain. Being informed are the dues we pay for living in this country. If we are indifferent to what goes on, we give up our right to criticize, to com- plain, to offer advice, or to take pride. I remember the summer our family had had it up to our necks in bad newa7.. This country was going to hell in a bushel basket. We needed to escape it for awhile, go off to a place where the streams ran cool and the only ' sound was the wind rustling through the trees. We packed the kids in, a trailer and took off for an entire summer in Canada. - It was utopia. No news- papers, no radios, no, televi- sion. We basked in innocence and ignorance. Then one day .we were having lunch in a restaurant and we heard a news program reporting on riots.. Detroit was in flames and unrest and violence was at a peak. We both felt as I imagined Philip Nolan felt in "The Man Without a Country". He got his wish to "Bever see or hear of the United States again". We hit for home. Our country didn't need us. We needed it: It's like a child who you love during the good times and commiserate with during the bad. What can you do? You can feel. Maybe that's why we sur- round ourselves with a stack of newspapers. They chron- icle our history, and if we want to be a part of it, we have to feel. I told''you it's hard to ex- plain.
