Coordinated wallpapers
tie rooms ,together
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. We're remodeling our
master bedroom to expand
it some and add a new
master bathroom.
We have wallpaper in
our bedroom and I'd like to
also have wallpaper in the
bathroom. Would it be ac-
ceptable to have two dif-
ferent patterns in the two
rooms or would this tend to
separate the space too
much?
I would like to tie the
bedroom and bathroom to-
gether. How is that possi-
ble?
A. You can tie together
the two rooms and create a
well-planned look if you
keep to the same color
scheme in your bathroom

paper as you have in the
bedroom. If your bedroom
is a large floral, contrast
that with a small geomet-
ric or stripe in the bath-
room. Or vice versa. But.

Q. I have three differen--
ly shaped windows in my
apartment bedroom. One is
a long, " narrow window
over my bed. Another is a
square window opposite
the bed wall and the third
is a French door that actu-
ally opens onto a small
deck but looks like a win-
dow.
What sort of window
treatment might I select
that will play down the
choppy effect of these
badly placed windows? I do
open the large, square win-
dow for sunlight but the
others I like to keep closed
most of the time. — T.C.
A. Consider wallpaper-
ing your room in a print
that has a matching fabric
that you can use for
Roman shades. Fashion the
shades carefully so that the
pattern continues unbroken
across your walls and win-
dows.
Or, if you prefer paint,
try to -accomplish the same
effect — Roman shades in
a fabric that matches the
wall colors.
Don't trim the shades to
call attention to them.
Q. We have a home with
a large living rooni,dining
room with cathedral ceil-
ing and no family room.
Our television, piano and
stereo are all in this room
— although because of its
spaciousness there are cer-
tain areas for each.
Because we like an in-
formal way of life, I'm
trying to decide what to do
for floor covering. I'm toy-
ing with the idea of having
wood parquetry installed
instead of carpeting, just
for wood's no -wear quality.
Are there other considera-
tions? — P.R.
A. Wood sounds like it
would look lovely in a
room as you describe.
However, my choice would
be a soft carpeting (al-
though you do have wear
problems). Because of its '
acoustical properties when
you, have a very .large
room with lots of people
doing things that produce
noise (even beautiful piano
music) you may feel you
are in an echo chamber.
Fabric, including carpet-
ing, draperies, and uphol-
stery, all helps to absorb
noise.
If you do opt for wood
parquetry, consider area
rugs for sound absorption
and give attention to
sound -absorbing wall and
window coverings.

uidelines to
lant placement
By PATRICK DENTON
The correct positioning
of various plantings is a
subject that often mystifies
those whose gardening ac-
tivities are restricted to
apartments, balconies and
patios.
Unfortunately, not all
apartments have balconies
and most have windows
facing in just one direction.
Gardeners who retire to
apartments, for one reason
or another, often find what
grows best in their particu-
lar light exposure by trial
and error. But here are a
few guidelines.
First of all, whether you
live in a house or apart-
ment, your indoor plants
will acclimatize best to
your particular indoor con-
ditions if you buy them
young. I've seen gorgeous
big palms die a slow but
sure death where young
ones adapted and grew into
fine specimens. Starting
out small gives you the
best chance of enjoying
large decorator plants. And
even if they don't make it,
your loss won't have been
so costly.
For low -light conditions,
at a north window or in the
middle or back of rooms
with a sunnier exposure,
generally the plain green
plants that suffer neglect
will be able to sustain
themselves.
Such plants are pothos,
nephthytis, philodendron,
snake plant (sansevieria),
bird's-nest fern, table fern,
rubber plant, dracaena,
Chinese evergreen, alumi-
num plant, fittonia and
green ivies. I have found
too that some others that
are supposed to need
brighter light or even some
sun each day will tolerate
low -light levels for most of
the winter if given brief
holidays in bright light —
Norfolk Island pine, prayer
plants and jade plants.
Swedish ivy and grape ivy
don't seem to mind too
much where they sit either,
and tolerate a good deal of
neglect.
Plants in such dim light
situations, where your
hand will barely cast a
shadow on a sheet of white
paper, will not exactly
thrive and grow very much
but they will maintain a
certain decorative value.
Just remember that plants
which are sitting in these
low -light areas need little
food and water. Keep them
clean and fertilize them
perhaps once a year unless
you give them a brief holi-
day now and then in a
brighter spot or outdoors.
Most enjoy . normal room
temperatures, with a slight
drop at night.
Many green plants in
this first category of low -
light tolerators can be re-
newed by cuttings —
pothos, philodendron, the
ivies. Making new plants in
this way allows you to
grow them even where you
know they will become
straggly, because you can
keep replacing them with
new ones.
Begonias, African violets
and gloxinias need higher
light levels than our first
category of green plants.
Ideal is an east window
where they receive early
morning sun. West win-
dows with strong afternoon
sun are often too hot.
Light needs in a specific
location will vary with the
season too. A general rule
is that plants may need to
be closer to a window in
winter and moved a way a
bit in summer. Or a win-
dow may have to be shaded
a little in summer. I've
grown African violets very
successfully, for instance,
in a west window. But as
the sun became more in-
tense with springtime, I
shaded the window on the
outside with an inexpen-
sive bamboo curtain. The
violets continued to thrive
all summer shaded in this
way, and they bloomed in
the good light all winter.
You can tell if your
plants are not getting
enough light by observing
them. If their stems are
leaning toward the light, if
they bloom poorly or drop
their buds, if they become
weak and straggly, or if
lower leaves become el -
low, then you may have
plant in too low a light sit-
uation.
Plants needing at least
full morning sun as at a
fully exposed east window
are geranium, coleus,
flowering maple, succu-
lents, Jerusalem cherry,
rose, kalanchoe, crown of
thorns, hibiscus and citrus
plants. The easiest plants
in a south window are ones
that enjoy dry conditions
between wgterings, though
I've found that geraniums
in large pots thrive in a
very sunny south exposure,
as do the bougainvillea and
lantana.
Watch for signs of too
much sun on your plants
scorched, bleached or droo-
py -looking leaves and bud ,
drop. , Such plants • need
moving a bit away from
the window.
Metabolism
of birds Is high
Birds' metabolism is high,
and body temperatures
range from 105 to 112 de-
grees F. Breath rates are
slow and energy -conserving
during fasting, sleeping and
in cold weather, rapid in ac-
tivity and also at high tem-
peratures as a cooling de-
vice.
Typically, a domestic fowl
has a rate of 12 to 37 breaths
a minute, a canary 96 to 120.
Resting heart rates vary
from 93 beats per minute in
the turkey to 570 in the
robin, but thiq may double
under stress.
