The link between newcomers from abroad and ideas in furniture is shown by a large onto department store (Simpson's) in its current homemakers show. This big show demonstrates how foreign customs in furnishings, art forms cooking are affecting the Canadian scene. "In furniture, for instance, the Japanese and Chinese calendarlike print is becoming an object d'art around which whole rooms are decorated. Bamboo drapes are definitely accepted, and many apartments now have them instead of the traditional venetian blinds. SCREENS USEFUL The same story holds for screens.

Apparently every housewife has an awkward corner or unsightly doorway which can be shielded by oriental screen. Scandinavian u'ntries currently have revolutionized the homes Canada's newlyweds. Couples flock Young, ish sofas, light Danish chairs, or Finnish tables designed by these craftsmen. co To illustrate, one exhibit shows 12 rooms each furnished around a single treasured object, brought from a foreign country. One of the most interesting is a tapestry from Hungary with a story behind it which tugs at the heart strings.

The tapestry is the only reminder of home for artist and sculptor Dora de PederyHunt, who escaped from Hungary in 1945. It was used by Mrs. de Pedery-Hunt's sister as a blanket for her infant. Background for the tapestry is a honey-colored room furnished with light functional type blonde furniture with brown upholstery. Big surprise was the floor of beige tile squares.

According to General Electric, a mild soap and water solution should be used, followed by a clear rinse with a soft sponge. The outside can be polished with a liquid wax to protect the smooth finish. There are several available made specifically for enameled appliance surfaces.

Toronto, Zurakowski escaped from Poland in 1939 and fought through the Battle of Britain with the RAF. His room featured red and black curtains, black chairs and red cushions and a red and black rug.

The most unusual room was built around a Chinese abacusa device used for counting donated by Boe D. Wong, Chinese-Canadian architect. The cus, a paint brush, and a pewter ink box were mounted on a rough burlap-covered board the wall. Decorations included mandarin design wallpaper, gold color hoop chairs, and a highly lacquered coffee table. A sidelight was a studio apartment decorated for Canadian actress Diana van der Vlis, now playing in the Broadway hit The Happiest Millionaire.

The apartment was done up with many picture prints on the walls and the use of such feminine decorating colors as beige, and pink. Miss der Vlis became known to Canadian audiences for her work in Toronto. Earlier she had lived in Vancouver and attended college in Winnipeg. Along the cooking line, demonstrations of foreign recipes were very popular. One delicious goody from Holland is the Eyby cake.

Simple to make, it conisists of one cup of sugar, cup of butter beaten thoroughly. Then four large eggs are beaten and added. To this a cup of flour and a teaspoon of vanilla are added. Bake in four thick layers. Dust top with icing sugar after putting together the layers with jampreferably raspberry.

Norman Hartnell, the Queen's dressmaker, launched the series of showings by the exclusive Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers, with a collection featuring immaculate tailoring and exquisite finish. The trend back to the fashion of the First World War and before was there. But Hartnell'3 "woman of 1957" provoked none of the laughs with which the My Fair Lady look has been greeted here. She is a smart, extremely elegant, even stately being. Hartnell's travel ensembles are made for the woman who travels by air -easy fitting, tailored top coats with patch pockets large enough to hold passport and tick- ets.

E. Leyland. Features Of 1957 flounced and there is a sideways movement reminiscent of some 30 to 40 years ago. Michael Sherard who showed after Hartnell, stressed the sideways movement by the use of belts which start under one bust and descend, either back or front, to the opposite hip. Both make widespread use of fullness draped to one side, while in evening wear there is the occasional dress with one shoulder draped.

One Sherard ball dress in black paper taffetas is draped loosely at the back from one shoulder and is strongly reminiscent of a toga, while both day and evening models feature wide flat panels attached to the shoulders at the back and falling straight to the hemline.

Women Prone To 'Match Too Much' In Decorating Homes, Says Expert Ask any director for the major mistake made by women in decorating their homes and the answer generally is "too much The natural good taste of a woman leads her to realize that there should be some connecting link between the elements used in furnishing a room. But too many miss the mark by trying to achieve this pleasant effect by sticking to the same fabric and pattern for both upholstery and draperies. The charm of many rooms furnished by professional decorators often derives from a deliberate attempt to mix patterns and textures. For example, a set of dining room chairs with upholstered seats need not all be the same color.

Two could be covered in black, two in white and the third pair in a black-and-white tweed. These neutrals will provide an interestcontrast to any other color or pattern used on floors, walls or windows. The secret of keeping a monochromatic room from monotony is often found in diversified textures. A lacy window curtain, a tweedy sofa, a silken pillow and a velvety chair. With two similar French Provincial armchairs in a living room, one might be covered in a blue velvet while the second could be upholstered in a satin Archery Bout Set University of B.C.

Girls' Archery Club is sponsoring this year's Canadian Girls' Intercollegiate Archery Tournament to be held Feb. 4 to Feb. 9 inclusive. As geographic and financial circumstances make it impossible for the teams to meet in one place, each team will telegraph its results to tournament headquarters at UBC. The tournament is open to all universities in Canada.

So far entries have been received from Universities of Toronto, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Queens, McGill and Dalhousie. Each team consists of four members. Each girl shoots three rounds, totalling 90 arrows, at a 24 inch target from a distance of 15, 20 and 25 yards. One round, shot from each distance, consists of shots broken up into five groups six each. 30, A meet with Western Washing.

The Manenuner Gerald Wednesday, January 23, 1957 11 Ship Home For Wife HALIFAX (CP) Captain Areti Sigalas, because his job was at sea, couldn't get home to his wife too often. But she fixed that setting up housekeeping aboard ship. In a neat little apartment aboard the liner Olympia Mrs. Sigalas now. travels around the world, helping her husband at his job and keeping her floating home as trim as any apartment on land.

She has been at sea with her husband for 20 years. Since she doesn't have neighbors and shopping like the housewife on land, Mrs. Sigalas developed her own occupations. She first turned to navigation, and her husband says she now could take the ship anywhere in the world. Then she got to know the routine of the bridge watch, and if her husband had to stay at his post all night in storms she would be by his side.

Actually her seamanship started when she was only nine years old, and went to live with her father on a freighter. She stayed on that ship for 10 years, went to the United States where she remained long enough to become a citizen. Then she married and went back to sea. For 10 years she was on a freighter, and since then her home has been on passenger liners. When she has time on her hands Mrs.

Sigalas makes handicrafts which she later sells. The money, she says, goes to the poor. The handicrafts are varied. She makes table lights from bottles and rope. Decorative ornaments are made from rope and colored cotton wool.

Of Skipper striped fabric in the same color. The similarity of color and furniture style is the connecting link. When it comes to mixing different designs, keep scale in mind. A bedspread of small pink and white checks might be paired with cafe curtains made of a candystriped chintz in the same color. Both the check and stripe should be of similar size.

Concerns that manufacture fabrics and wallpapers are trying to get away from exact matching. They offer instead "companion" designs, The fabric does not match the wallpaper exactly but may contain the same design in a larger or smaller size or have some detail eliminated. Many model rooms displaying coordinated papers and fabrics keep a separation between the two by such devices as quilting the fabric, outlining the design to give it a three-dimensional quality.
