If your order for a "Caterpillar" Diesel is on
hand with us, then the huge, modern Caterpillar
Tractor Co. plant is working for you, and many,
many other customers who have needed, but
waited for "Caterpillar" track-type Tractors.
The "Caterpillar" people are working just as
hard to get equipment to you as they worked to
keep our armed forces supplied with "Cater
pillar" Diesels. It won't be long now.

|New Light For

By ADELAIDE KERR
The homes of tomorrow gener
ally will be smaller units than
those today with large main rooms
and small sleeping rooms, design
ed for the most comfortable living
we ever have had. Their decora
tion will feature more rich glow

ing color and architectural uses of
light.
That comes from Miss Bertha
Schaefer, New York interior dec
orator, specialist in the decorative j
uses of glowing color, paintings
I
I and light.
"Th« servant problem is par
tially responsible for a trend tow
ard less expansive living," said
Miss Schaefer recently in her
New York studio-gallery. "This
does not indicate that all city
dwellers will be squeesed into two
and three room apartments. But
it does indicate there will be fewer
eight and twelve room units and
more of four or five rooms. Furni
ture will be decidedly functional, j
such as a dining table that is also
a library table or desk or that has!
a game table top.

“In decoration we shall make j
more and unusual use of light,!
often using it architecturally. For
instance, where you wish that a
wail were not, you can ‘eliminate’ j
it by making it glow. It can be j
hung with pale colored curtains,!
lit from above with concealed
fluorescent light so that it be
comes a wall of light. Powerful'
light in lamps will be filtered
through metal fins, which deflect
it to certain objects.

"Instead of monotone rooms—
all gray, all blue, etc.—we shall
make much greater use of rich
glowing color. And instead of con* I
sidering only the color scheme of
a room, we shall consider the
color scheme of a house.
"For instance, in a Massachu
setts house which I decorated re
cently, the walls of the large en- i
trance hall were seafoam green
with touches of white and strong
green. On one side this led to a
room with seafoam green paint
and tangerine accents; on the
other side to a living room whose
soft green background was offset
by brilliant chintzes in red, yel
low and blue. These rooms, varied
ns they were, were tied together

CUTTING INDICTED

by the repetition of green.”
Miss Schaefer, a decorator of
years standing and a member of
the American Institute of Deco
rators, combines her 57th Street
studio for interior design with an
art gallery featuring the work of
modern painters and pottery de
signers.
‘‘I do this because I want my
clients to stumble over paintings
continually,” she explained. “I
like to build the color scheme of
a room around paintings.
‘‘I found it simpler to exhibit
the paintings myself than to take
my clients to art dealers. who
were sometimes offended by the
clients’ remarks. I’ll never forget
the woman who turned down a
beautiful painting because flowers
in a vase were not arranged ac
cording to garden club standards.”
