HAPPENINGS

believei feel that their apartment Is too small to have three people in residence for more than two weeks; that two weeks are fun for all, but more is a strain . . .

I consider such a speech to George's mother as impudent andl unmanncrly. I told her so: btit she says it's equally bad manners to ignore the terms of an invita- tion. All this came to a head just after my arrival this time . . . , don't know whether to stick it out: for my rights. or just go home at! the end of two weeks. I

Do you think I am iniposing? Or that. my son thinks I am im- posing? Polly says I make him so nervous after two weeks that they quarrel: and that after my visit last year they quarreled so badly that George left home for three days L.S.

In this painful dispute over the propriety of your habitually over- staying your annual invitation. you are absolutely and overwhel- mingly in the wrong. You haven't a leg to stand on. in trying to de- fend your rabid exploitation. of Polly's commendable hospitality.

It seems obvious that Polly is a warm-hearted unselfish person. with a real aptitude for loving and giving. in family relationships. In breaking the ice for your first an- nual visit, she was expressing love of her husband. of course. and showing a consequent disposition to be fond of you, as his mother. She was hoping to give happiness to both of you. and further a spirit of family unity, in getting you to- gether undcr one roof-after long Icnaration.

FAR OFF BASE

Evidently George has been out of touch with you for years. prior to these visits-not even writing much of the time. after quitting your control and joing the army. This fade-out, and the fact that you don't know for don't want to know) what he thinks of you now- adays. would indicate that he's never felt free to"be himself" around you. With Polly he's dif- ferent, I gather; so that she knows him far better than you do (or will permit yourself tot.

In straining to make your wrong attitude seem right. you talk a lot about ”how we do things in our family"-as if you are an oracle of social correctness, and Polly a nobody - ignoramus. whose fair ideas have no status.

Spaces between furniture are clear; fabric of drapes and up- holstery is smooth in texture-not as nobby as has been the vogue during the last few years. Gleaming tiles, sisal floor cov- erings and small rugs of muted tones replace large. lavish rugs. Lighting is generally direct from hanging lamps. the globes frosted and of definite form such as the bullet, sphere or melon, and used for a specific purpose-not for decoration. Knick - knacks are practical as well as decorative. Windows are large.

Everything is designed to give the uncluttered look.

INVITING LOOK

The woman living in a home furnished with comfortable, over- sized chairs and chesterfield, frilly curtains and all kinds of knick- knacks may say the modern home is uninviting and austere.

Not so. says Bob Jameson. in- terlor decorator at a large depart- ment store here. A young man whose aptitude in the store's art department gained him a course in interior decorating. Mr. Jame- the modern home is

It is light and efficient, pro- viding maximum comfort with

minimum effort. Mr. Jameson has illustrated his ideas in a model home now on display in the store's home-furnishing department.
