PRACTICAL HOMECRAFT
Free Use Of Unusual Colours
IN the majority of displays
of model rooms in America ono feature is that contemporary and tradi. .tional pieces have been nicely mixed and balanced to live side by side.

Since 10 many households, those of newly-weds athered various places thr.. the years, any additions that are made, want to conform or it in with the existing decor. So the new displays offer nice suggestions in that direction.
Colour Schemes
Much interesting work with colour is noted. In one display violet, a shade not often
-
countered in the average home, has been excellently handled.
In one room it has been com- bined with light blue and dark
green, and in another it tends beautifully with patc

OCTORS have thought up a simple test to guide you towards freedom from many of those minor pains which nag the sparkle out of life. Try it
yourself
Stand as you do normally-hot as you would for a parade-ground Inspection-with feet together and hands. by your sides. Then get someone to hold a plumb-line from the point of your shoulder and tell you exactly how it hangs in relation to your hip-joint, knee and ankle.
It the plumb-line falls in front of the ankle, as it does on giri No. 1 in the sketch, the doctors warn that the odds are you will suffer if you don't already- from recurrent backache.
The only way to put things right, they say, is to readjust your posture so that the plumb- jino
falls as it does on girl No. 2-through the centre of each joint. joint.
To
remedy the defects shown by the plumb-line
test, US. apelslista prescribe the system of exercises you see on the right. If you already got backache you should

About 65 percent, of all back- nches are due to bod posture, the American doctors estimated at a medicat conference recently. Humped shoulders, a swayed back and Bagging stomach strain the muscles and ligaments which
Kuppart the spine. And they if the bony framework from which the legs are slung.
Why do many more women than men have faully posture? I think high-heeled shoes are
to blame. largely

What about housewives, Dr Junet? Surely they are the most frenquent sufferers from backache. And those I know stem to do little sitting down in any kind of chair.
