Design That Goes With Neurosis

By PATRICIA Clary

Hollywood. INSTEAD of going to

a

psychologist, it's fashion- able in the movie colony now to trot to a "psycholo- gical" Interior decorntor who designs your home to fit your neurosis.

Ernst Meer started busi- ness as a designer in a small

way after the War. Now he has more than he can handle creating furni- ture to flatten frustrations. lounges to lick loneliness and cozy chales to calm complexes.

Robert Ryan, six feet threo and healthy as a horse, alwayn felt awkward in a living room, "He was inhibited by being twice as big as anything except planos, Meer diagnosed. "I furnished his den with oversized desk, chairs and couch. He Ukes It so much he even has dinner there."

George Raft, who met Meer oversean when the ex-GI was designing rets for soldier shows, invited him to decorate his de- kert resort.

"Most resorts just carry over the hectic, frantic climate of Hollywood," Meer sniffed. He did Raft's in quiet greens and soothing russols.
