Sweetwater Reporter, Texas, Wednesday, November 30, 1955
RUTH MILLET SAYS
Kitchen, Like Octopus,
Is Taking Over House
If the architects and furniture
designers don't quit thinking up
new uses for the living room,
housewives are someday going to
revolt and demand the return of
the old-fashioned, ready-for-com-
pany parlor.
First they robbed us of the dining
room, taking one end of the parlor
for a "dining alcove."
Then they started making two-
purpose furniture, so that the dav-
enport could turn into a bed,
thereby converting the living room
into a bedroom for overnight
Six Sorority
Members Judge
TV Beauty Show
Gathering in the home of Mrs.
Grady Weller, six members of
Beta Beta Chapter, Beta Sigma
Phi, served as a "Beauty Jury"
Tuesday morning on the "Search
For Beauty" show sponsored by
Charles Antell Make-Up on a net-
work of television stations which
includes KRBC-TV. Abilene.
The group was contarted by tele-
phone from New York for its de-
cision on the show. Sweetwater
thus received mention on a nation-
wide net work.
Serving on the committee were
Mmes. Jack Pace, John T. Bryant,
A1 Aton, Monte Huckabee, Paul
Andrews, and Weller.
guests. There's a table that can be
folded up to make a desk so that
Papa doesn't need a separate
study. There are cabinets that turn
out to be bars so that the living
room can be turned inU a cock-
tail lounge.
Let's see now, what does that
make the living room so far? Just
a living room, dining room, bed-
room. study and cocktail lounge.
It's Time For Women To Talk Back
As if that isn't enough for one
poor, tired, overcrowded room an
industrial designer. Dave Chapman
by name, says the next step that
| he and others like him will take is
| "to bring the kitchen into the liv-
! ing room."
When and if the designers suc-
ceed in doing that we might just
as well start building one-room
houses. Or, of course, we could get
; our backs up and say firmly that,
i just like Grandma, we want to sit
I in a parlor, eat in a dining room,
j thinking and reading in a study,
I cook in a kitchen, do our serious
! and sleep in a bedroom.
Great-great-great Grandma was
mighty happy when she could get
out of a one-room sod hut or log
: cabin and into a house with the
I privacy and dignity of separate
; rooms for separate functions.
And the woman of tomorrow may
! be just as happy to retreat to the
j privacy of partitioned living if the
designers don't stop moving every-
j thing into the living room.
