Dream House-Smash!

The Sexes Don't See Eye to Eye on Artistry
By Carol Heller
My dream house was shattered Sunday.
I was one of the 400 persons who went to the Kansas Designer Craftsman Show opening at the Kansas Union. As I walked through the exhibit I picked out the art I would like for my home someday.
Then Jack Harrison, Hays, senior, dropped by to take pictures of the exhibit for the Daily Kansan.
Look, Jack, wouldn't this chain be fabulous for a ree room?
The chair had striped blue-green cushions on a cord structure and its smooth walnut arms rose unexpectedly past the back and formed two sharp handles.
"A guy could get hurt if he tripped over that thing in the night and fell on one of those bayonets," Harrison said. "I like that green chair over there better."
He would. It was strictly a man's chair with sturdily planted legs and wide curving arms and straight back.
How about this bowl then.
Wouldn't it look grand on a patio?
A Man's Chair
The ceramic bowl measured nearly two feet high and had been thrown on a potter's wheel. A rough design had been scratched into its earthy colors — it would be perfect for potted fern.
"It would make a dandy spit-
toon . . ."
But we did agree the sleek walnut desk was a masterpiece. A swirling pattern was formed in the glowing golden and amber grain of the wood.
The desk stood on a soft rug of ivory, cocoa and beige stripes.
"That's a neat rug," decided Harrison. "I'd like to have that wall-hanging as drapes to go with it."
The material was attractive. Its ocean motif featured sea shells, star fish, sea horses, snails and seaweed in a geometrical pattern of brown on beige.
It would make a beautiful drap-
erv . . . but to match a striped rug?
We looked at a streamlined sterling silver coffee pot with matching cups. They gleamed richly in their simple leaf-like forms with wing-tipped handles.
Likes Convention
"You could never get a grip on these handles," observed Harrison. "And it's just too plain — it looks like a tin cup."
He liked the sturdy, practical cream and sugar set with conventional handles.
I tried again. Wouldn't this big cedar bowl be perfect for displaying fruit? What an unusual curve the bowl has — its sides practically sweop.
"Just like the turnpike . . ."
We saw a smooth, bullet-shaped stone sculpture of the face of an Egyptian-like soldier wearing a rough helmet. I thought it would make a unique doorstop.
"Looks like a space ship about to take off."
Wouldn't these pink cafe curtains be pretty for a breakfast nook? They're hand woven.
it was obvious that Harrison liked the simple, practical way of life. I tried once more.
Harrison inspected the straw curtains.
"They look like they'd catch on fire too easily . . ."
Well, what do you like?
Harrison pointed to the abstract sculpture of a woman's curving torso.
It figures.

Plaster Used for Printing Plates
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Printing plates made from a new photosensitive plastic will appear on the market soon, according to a report in the magazine "Modern Plastics."
The plates consist of a photosensitive plastic supported by a metal backing. A standard photo negative is pressed in contact with the plastic plate and then exposed to ultra-violet light which makes the printing areas insoluble. The unexposed plastic is removed by a water spray, leaving the printing areas in relief. A "ready-to-run" plate can be made from a negative in less than 20 minutes.
