What could we buy that will be good when we move to larger quarters (our own home, I hope)? — D.E. A. So much depends on what you like and on your lifestyle. Also, what you are willing to pay will govern what you buy. Many people have found that their tastes change over the years. Your first selections in home furnish- ings aren't necessarily your last. So -to -be -on -safe ground many designers suggest you buy substantial but not necessarily- expel): sive furnishings for your first apartment. For example, a good sofa and pair of chairs plus a lounge chair"and ottoman if you have room, are a ` good start. Consider a lightly scaled design in the furniture, such as a painted rattan or simulated rattan with loose cushions in bright - colored fabrics. The' key here is that the furniture is easy to move, pleasing to live with and easy to re- cover when the cushions are worn or don't fit into the decor of another home. This kind of furniture will be adaptable in many settings. It could make great family room furni- ture in a larger home or could be used in various places, in another apart- ment with changes in the upholstered cushions. Q. We have a medium- sized dining room that I've been considering either wallpapering or covering the walls with fabric. Td like a rich and Opu- lent feeling to complement my Mediterranean furni- ture. Which wall treatment would be better? — F.L.M. A. Either wallpaper or fabric could give you a dramatic and opulent look. However, fabric is espe- cially sumptuous on the wall. People who have applied fabric to walls frequently suggest starching the fab- ric to the wall. This is done by applying starch to the wall, then dipping the fab- ric in starch and applying the fabric carefully to the walls. Even very heavily woven upholstery fabric with great texture can be handled in this manner and the padded look and feel are pleasing. Most of the liquid starches do not greatly af- fect fabric you'd apply to the wall, but it would be wise to test a piece of fab- ric to see what effect the starch has. Do-it-yourselfers suggest that you cut the selvages of the fabric for a close match and smooth fit. Sel- vages, they advise, some- times shrink in a slightly different manner from the rest of the fabric. Q. We have wall-to-wall windows on three sides of our living room. The win- dows are from the ceiling to 36 inches above the floor. In addition, there is a pair of French doors. What would be, a good window treatment for these windows and doors? We'd like to have the win- dows open completely dur- ing the day but closed at night. I'd like something updatt ed and different from trad- itional draperies which _ ver -up - be muchof -te windows even when open: M.C. A. Haveyou considered Roman shades? They are the flat style that folds up in pleats from the bottom. They use less fabric than draperies, will open to allow youa full view by day but, if lined, can give you nighttime privacy. Created in an interesting fabric, they can be highly decorative. And they'd serve, well over your, French doors. *0000000 • • • ••- • • ••0 • • • • • • - 00:00 Braided belt over blazers With waists so important these days, belts are every- where, in all shapes, colors and sizes. They range from pencil -thin wraparounds to cummerbunds wide enough to overlap an underwired bra. For belting bulky sweaters and blazers, how- ever, the best approach is a mid-size belt. Braided belts, which you can make your- self, are perfect, and also as colorful as desired. Braiding a belt is as easy as braiding hair. The meth- ods are practically the same. The difference is the number of strands in the braid. In braiding a child's pig- tails, the braider divides the hair into three strands. In contrast, belts require at least eight strands. As in pigtails, which ` have thou- sands of hairs in each "strand," the belt strands May also have several cords in each strand. However, no matter how many cords, strands or colors you use, the technique is still simple. Here are the directions for a braided belt. In colors to match all your sweaters and blazers, they're ideal fashion updates for fall. MATERIALS: You'll need threads, cords, or yarns with little or no stretch. Shim rayons are especially -pretty%r Ybe the number of yards you'llneed depends upon the thickness of the cords. For a typical 36 -inch belt, you'll need 64 yards of cord. Other supplies are scis- sors, ruler, two large oval or rectangular rings for the buckle, T -pins, and a knott- ing board. STARTING: 1. Cut cords into 16 four -yard lengths. 2. Fold each cord in half. 3. Tie each cord to both rings using a reverse lark's head knot. • crossroads—April 113 100*-1114gert:: ,00404.,0104,00 11111k1/111111141114 11A11111 • diiYo \1.11.11hati t\ E RL P/I Y11I �Mdl ll W141TE TO MI6. sow RAMS MUST S; OF EQUAL IXI40114 AND OF TWE EST POSSIBLE.

JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: In the fall, I will enter my last year of college,- mid :it's .._kind -off --a._.. nightmare to me. I am criti- cized and downed by my peers, because I don't run around the way they want me to. I don't drink and don't take drugs. I'm not popular because I'm honest, don't skip classes and respect my teachers. I'm so discouraged. What shall 1 do? — J.T. Dear J.T.: Don't eves` change. The "glib talkin'" campus cut -ups, who are giving you nightmares now are doom- ing themselves to night- mares of their own later on. There's nothing to discourage you, except your natural and immediate crav- ing for peer acceptance. You have a well -integrat- ed personality, seen in a combination of the tall well- balanced loop on k, the clean-cut circles of d, o and a, and other strokes. You re - sped your principles, and' are loyal to your convic- tions, seen in the firm round period. Yet, you are easily influ- enced, seen in the round s, and this is your conflict. So you'll have to keep , telling yourself to be strong, so strong that the weight of peer -pressure -doesn't flatten your values. You have sur- vived your high school pres- sure and three years of col- lege'Don't take any chances of sticcumbing to your last year. You are striving for worthwhile goals, and you are confident in your abili- ties, seen in the strong, high t crossings. You're intelli- gent, seen in the wedge - hoped n, and a hard worker; seen in the long, strong downstroke on g. It isn't old-fashioned to bei, moral, honest and hardwork- ing. You'll find this out, when a bold, cold world be- comes your critic. And when you become the envy of' your now critical peers. nom 0 nal C7 oritiop ACID 0%11111111g1 ©a► evimizivara nerAdinvo qvirmmuiry O wt Via: •. •®R101111110S ett - ®®- REVERSE LARK'S HEAD KNOT: 1.
