The conventional three-piece furniture suite for living room or bedroom has been replaced by separate pieces with strong individual personalities. Old-fashioned and contemporary styles of i are used together in the same room. Furniture pieces in many different finishes natural wood, or painted are combined harmoniously in individualized decorating schemes. Accessories like area rugs, lamps, wall plaques and mirrors with a one-of a-kind look add a persona) touch to the room. Even if your i is plain and straight-lined, you can create a dramatic room setting through an unusual use of fabrics and colors.

For example, dark green burlap covering walls, white shantung curtains and honey yellow velvet upholstery on couch and armchair can transform a commonplace living room into a distinctive setting. The sotting needn't be loud and flamboyant to be interesting. You can create a quiet but special-looking living or recreation room, in soft beiges by papering the walls i a simulated wood design and covering the sofa in sand corduroy. The unexpected touch comes in with brown satin toss pillows on the sofa, and a zebra nig. Special styling details give furniture a one-of-a-kind look.

4. Inside fashion Such a gentle fur The big ermine revival, in full swing with custom order furriers, is all part of the fashion feeling for a gentle look: Left a full-length evening coat of black ermine, already ordered from Jacques Kaplan. Right -Kaplan's ermine jacket bordered in white mink. By ENGENIA This is a tender moment in fashion. Goodness knows why, but you feel it if you play by ear.

It's a season for the piled up hair-do with braids and the curls. For the dreamy, dark- rimmed eyes, for the bare shoulder, for the light make-up, for the chiffon or silk organdy dress with the ruffles and the velvet ribbons. Even in the fall fashion collections the pompous fabrics don't look in tune. It's a time to look more like Ophelia than Rosalind, Portia, Cleopatra or any of the other girls. "I feel like looking much softer," said Gloria Guineness the last time! saw her.

Those chic outlines were blurred in black point d'esprit, and her hair-do was next door to curly. The types everybody has turned to admire at parties recently have been very much the romantics. It's a time for a big ermine revival, and it's already in full swing, the furriers say. "Ermine is such a gentle kind of fur," Jacques Kaplan, New York furrier, explains. The big must with the socialites, though, is black ermine.

It's sophisticated but cuddlesome. "It's the most elegant fur in sight right now, but I try to treat it as sporty as possible." says Jacques Kaplan. He believes that a little double-breasted coat of black ermine is going to be the same kind of in-uniform that his double-breasted mink was last year. Women who really care about fashion can bear to think of furs even in warmest weather. Ermine used to be synonymous with the opera opening which really finished it in the end as high fashion.

It ran up lots of adverse publicity from dowagers turning up in old, yellowed numbers fresh out of the mothballs. Ermine still turns ivory, but not any faster than white mink, the furriers say. Besides it doesn't matter so much these days. Socialites don't try to hang on to a fur coat forever. What makes ermine so frightfully chic right now, besides all this business of the gentle, romantic look, is thai it's expensive and frightfully hard to get.

Tough luck, but the very best ermines hang out in Russia, and even there the little creatures are elusive. They have to be hand-trapped in the woods. They don't take to ranch life, like the minks, where it's a short life but the best of every thing while it lasts. Ermine is one of the five furs from Russia on which a strict embargo has been placed. Only finished coats are allowed into this country, and Russian furriers are not yet exactly Dior.

Ermine is available from Canadaand this country, but it can't hold a candle to the Russian variety, that is really fat and sassy. Dariing, let me say this. I wouldn't touch the domestic ermine." says Leo Hitter. "To make the ladies happy, though, I am doing mink so that it looks exactly like ermine." For the ermine look. Hitter says he uses only the tinest female minks.

He cuts the strips half the usual width, only about two inches, and uses them horizontally in the traditional, regal ermine way. Though they don't have the ultimate, swansdown softness, you could almost swear that his white fur Courreges dress and black topcoat were made of ermine instead of mink. Oh, the two-way stretch of it all. For so many years all other furs have been hopefully bred, dyed and cut to look as much like mink as possible. It was mink, undiluted and all the way.

Now, as long as the gentle moment lasts, it's mink's turn to masquerade as a new favorite ermine. a a dinner honors couple Mr. and Mrs. Granville W.
