B—2 * REAL ESTATE., ARRANGE CPENIG 0 BRDES HOLSE Decorators and Furnishers | to Demonstrate New THE EVENING STAR, WA Smart Ideas. An event of importance to 1935's erop of a million brides is the opening | of the bride’s nouse, which house | Beautiful Magazine has built and| sponsored to show today's brides all the new decorating and (ui'mshmgi ideas designed for smart home life. ! Pronounced colors and period rooms are outstanding features. Each room in the bride’s house, which opcned April 1 at 444 Madison avenue, New York City. embodies an idea and proves a point. The living room shows how important and formal the French provincial room may be. ‘The guest room is modern without being unfriendly or harsh. The li- brary makes eighteenth century Eng- lish furniture informal and inviting. The bride’s bed room dcmonstrates | that the Colonial style is not hack- neyed if it is combined with fresh colors and materials. ‘ Strong Colors Used. ‘The bride’s house is not afraid of strong color. The living room fea- tures warm green, wood browns and touches of pomegranate red. The bride’s bed room has bright yellow walls, and the guest room is carried out in a lovely clear coral. In the library decp blues and a purplish red are dominant tones and the dining room accents its solid gray walls with bold touches of brilliant fuchsia, also an inlaid linoleum on the floor in bold geometric stripes. Yet each rocm leads logically and harmoniously to the next without confusion of ideas. Novel wall treatments are introduced in each room. In the living room scenic wall paper. wood paneling and mirrors are featured. In the bride's room bands of plaid wall paper in shades of brown and yellow are used | at the top and bottom. A composi- | tion wall board is laid on in decorative panels in one hall and in the library fabric leather covers the walls. In the closets, quilting and wall paper are used effectively, and in the bath- dressing room and kitchen, colored glass. Fabrics, too. are varied. for- mal silks and taffetas, crisp organdies flowing chiffons and quantities of mo- hair in printed or furry surfaces. Furniture Arrangement, ‘The arrangement of the furniture is new and arresting. In the formai liv- ing room are groups of two and four pleces. The library is informal. with furniture casually placed so that one may sit around the fireplace or in the book-lined niches or by the piano. The dining room is uncluttered. sim- ple and practical, but verv striking The bed rooms achieve comfort, but they also reveal delightful color com- binations, unique curtain treatments and new ideas on combining furniture. The kitchen is a miracle of modern efficiency. Stove, cupboards, refrig- erator and sink are close and com- pact. The walls are white and black glass and metal, and the cabinets are lined with a joyful red which is re- peated in the top of the seats of chro- mium chairs. The bath room is a de- light, with its golden mirror back of the bathtub, its indirect lighting. built-in shelves, glass walls and lino- leum floor. The bride's house was decorated by | Mrs. John H. Dodd of Mrs. Dodd, Inc., and Catherine R. Itby of House Beau- tiful. Wallace Walton Heath was the architect. It will be on exhibition until the first of July.

AR CONDITIONING i { PROSPECT BRIGHT —_— [ Modernization Season Just Ahead Promises Continued | | Sales Increase. ‘ Folowing tremendous sales gains in 1934 over the preceding year, the air conditioning industry looks forward to the Spring of 1935 with optimism as the modernization program of the Federal Housing Administration enters | the most active season of the building | year, according to advices received | here. ¥ Net income gains for a representa- tive group of air conditioning equip- ment manufacturers, compiled by the Federal Housing Administration, show that a net income of $523,000 reported | in 1933 skyrocketed in 1934 to the | total aggregate sum of $3.663.449. | With the educational campaign fa- | miliarizing the country on the worth of air conditioned systems, the indus- try looks with optimism on the poten- | tial business to be garnered from the ! 502 Goddard Road, about the same. Compared with the corresponding week of 1934, production was 8 per | cent lower, while shipments and | orders were 10 and 6 per cent heavier, | respectively. During the first quarter | of 1935, shipments were 16 per cent | and new business 24 per cent in ex- | cess of production. estimated 1,195,111 modernization jobs pledged to date in Housing Adminis- tration canvasses. Afr conditioning units are increas- ingly becoming a part of remodeling operations in individual dwellings, as well as business houses and apartment houses. They can be installed to oper- ate either in warm weather or cold weather, or both. and vary in size from one designed to condition air in a single room to others, large enough to serve an entire structure. Advantages Are Many. In addition to increased comfort and healthfulness which air conditioning provides by adding moisture to the heated air in Winter and cooling and taking moisture from the air in Sum- mer, there are many practical advan- tages derived by the modern house- keeper. Dirt and dust in the air are eliminated to a large extent and the cracking or warping of furniture, | woodwork or plaster from dry heated air is prevented through the introduc- tion of proper moisture content. Air conditioning concerns itself with four main principles: The heating | and humidifying of rooms in Winter and cooling and dehumidifying of rooms in Summer, and the circulation and purification of air throughout the | entire year.

Gas and electric utility companies sold about $123,300,000 worth of equip- ment on instaliment last year, a de- cided increase.over 1933, according to reports received by the Federal Hous- ing Administration. It is estimated by utility association | officials that between 80 and 90 per cent of these installment purchases were eligible for modernization credit insured by the Federal Housing Ad- ministration. | The Edison Electric Institute esti- mates that the total amount of in- | stallment paper carried by the elec- tric utility companies exceeds $100.- 000,000, of which about $75,000.000 is for equipment to be placed in homes. As the great bulk of this paper is for such items as kitchen ranges, water | heaters, mechanical refrigerators and complete electric kitchens, the insti- tute officials estimate that beteween 80 | and 90 per cent of the items are | eligible for modernization loans. There was no estimate made, however, of the amount of purchases made through 1 :]'u-sl“(lompleled s .. A Charfi*nihgv ‘, French Provincial Home in insured modernization credit. The American Gas Association re- ported that about $35,000,000 worth of gas appliances was sold in 1934, of which about two-thirds was on the in- stallment plan. It was stated in the letter that gas-appliance sales have im- proved, but that no figures are avail- able concerning the proportion of pur- chases made through insured modern- ization credit.
