I'm moving to a new home and ' have a pale beige sofa and brown chairs. I'd like to choose floor covering, wall cover- ing and .window treatment to create a dramatic at- mosphere. My previous home was rather dull, perhaps be- cause I had .too many neu- tral, safe ..colors.. Please suggest ,same.,wflys ,to. add drama. A. Drama and a pleasing interest can often be creat- ed an an interior through careful contrasts. This can be achieved through con- trasts of light and dark color, contrasts of textures of smooth and rough fin- ishes and through the rich- ness and quality of acces- sories. For example, consider a deep carpeting — maybe a plum sheared carpeting for a soft look underfoot. At, the walls choose a textured grasscloth or a subtlely patterned wall covering in a plum slightly lighter than you carpeting. A floral pattern in dra- peries at the windows might combine the plum and beige and brown tones of your room and give some visual contrast to other plainer fabrics. Accessorize with your best, most treasured pieces and add some plants for warmth and softness, bringing in flowering annu- als as available. Q. I must paint two bath- rooms that have ugly col- ored tile enclosing the bath area. One has pink tile edged in maroon and the second bathroom has light gray tile edged in dark blue. Please advise as to the color of the paint to use in each bathroom. — R.W. A. In the first bathroom why not a lighter pink than the tile. Then accessorize with maroon and white towels. For the second bath- room, a blue -gray — more heavily on the blue — would be pretty. While you can't elimi- nate the tile's contribution to the bathrooms, you can draw attention away from it by using a pretty or dra- matic wallpaper. Be cer- tain to choose the wallpa- per carefully so that there are tiny bits of your tile color in it so your room looks well planned. Another technique in helping to eliminate tile colors you don't like is to enclose your tub or shower (if it has the major amount of offending tile) with a dramatic or pretty shower curtain. Q. I'd like to bring a fes- tive country touch to my plain and moderate-sized bedroom. I have pale yel- low walls, gold carpeting, a brown vinyl chair and dark mahogany bedroom furni- ture. I need a new bedspread and new window covering. How can I add some deco- rative interest? — R.V. A. Look for a country print in tones of yellow, gold, beige, brown and per- haps salmon and mint green. Use this fresh print lavishly for your bedspread and to cover a small round table (use a plywood circle and crude legs if need be). Top table with a large bas- ket of lacey ferns. At the window fashion great poufs of Austrian shades in the pretty fabric or add to wall -colored dra- peries a valance or side panels in the print fabric. • Add a wicker rocking chair if you have room. Re- peat the print in cushions for chairs. Talk By Louisa Rush Last week I gave instruc- tions on how to recycle wool from outgrown garments, and as I suggested even if this wool or yarn is used to make toques, hats, mitts or slippers, a considerable sav- ings will have been made. For instance, the teen- agers love the leg -warmers which are so popular now, and I have instructions for these on Leaflet No. 11-79. Slippers for all sizes are on Leaflet No. 6813, stocking caps for boys and girls are on Leaflet No. 6830. Leaflet No. 1076 has an easy garter - stitch cap and scarf, while gloves for the entire family knitted on two needles are on Leaflet 1077. Fancy cro- cheted boots for adult sizes are on Leaflet No. 0178. Tea cosies are another item which can be made from recycled yarn or odd- ments you have on hand. Leaflet No. 1278 has both knit and crochet cosies, while No. 0680 has two designs both knitted, one is a basket of flowers while the other a charming cottage, complete with windows, awnings and chimney! For the lady who inquired about a hooded hip length coat, these instructions are on Leaflet No. 0780. it's knit with Patons Double Double so will work up fast and the instructions are for small, medium and large lady's. For the lady inquiring about skating dresses , for children, Leaflet No. 1075 has instructions for a lovely skating dress in sizes 4-14 years. This is for crochet. Had an interesting letter from a lady who started out. "How I would love to knit'' She couldn't seem to learn as a child as she was left handed, and now is a grand- mother and is dying to make clothes for her first grand- child. She was seeking my advise as to whether she should learn the right hand way, or any other help I could suggest. I was happy to send her my guide to left- handed knitters showing in detailed diagrams the posi- tion of the hands, yarn and needles, step by step.

Having just returned from a photo -journalism trip to the wilds of Africa (which included a layout for Playboy magazine), this exotic super beauty leads a fascinating but hec- tic life. And although she has little time to devote to complicated beauty routines, she still has man- aged to emerge as one of Hollywood's most beautiful women; using mainly natu- ral products is her secret. "When I'm not working," says Pamela, "I travel all the time, so I like to use treatments that you can make up yourself with or- dinary things you can buy almost anywhere. I don't like the idea of being at the mercy of some expensive products that you can't al- ways get everywhere you go. "I've used top-of-the-line productstoo.' she contin- ues, "but I don't like the perfumes so many of them add and I still think some- thing natural is better for you." One of Pamela's favorite all -natural facials follows this simple recipe:. One teaspoon yogurt, one teaspoon honey, one egg yolk. "You just blend them all together," she says "and leave it on your face from two minutes to 30 minutes. Not only does it firm and tone the skin, but it also helps replenish the mois- ture that's usually lost dur- ing the course of the day. "The main focus of any beauty routine I do," she says, "concentrates on the moisture level in my skin and hair. I think that's the most important step in any regimen, especially if you live in a warm climate or work under hot lights. Also, if you use a blow dryer or electric rollers often, as we do on the show, you must put back what those pro- cesses take out. To help condition her hair, this "Dynasty" lead- ing lady uses a hot oil treatment every few weeks, made by heating or- dinary cooking oil and ap- plying it to the hair for 20 minutes or putting on cold oil and then sitting under a hair dryer. To keep her figure in as good a shape as her beauti- ful face, Pamela swims 75 laps a day and believes it's the best exercise anyone can do. "If you only have time to do one train(_ sou says ' ane you can get to a Y or a health club, swimming tones and firms all the muscles io your body, plus helps your circulation and builds stamina." In addition to this daily regimen, Pamela has also recently embarked on a fit- ness training program with superstar exercise coach Jake Steinfeld, whose spe- cial method of training brings positive, visible re- sults in just 30 days. "1 needed to get my body in extra special good shape fast, especially for my Playboy .feature, and Jake's program did the trick in about a month," she says. Including a half- hour session of warm-ups, stretching movements and strengthening exercises, which graduate to weight lifting once he feels the cli- ent's body can handle the stress, Jake's program is designed to work on all parts of the body. "At first I was exhaust- ed," says this nighttime Super Beauty, "and I could barely walk. But now I even have a bench in my house and I lift weights all the time. When I'm travel- ing, I. faithfully do the floor exercises. "It's hard work," she concludes, "but I must, admit I feel better and stronger every day I'm on the program."
