BETTY CANARY
Our Status Decor? It’s Just Classy
In a recent news story, sociologist Edward Laumann of
the University of Michigan was quoted as saying that a
person’s social level was given away by the manner in
which he decorated his living room.
Among other tipoffs, we can tell everyone’s religion, in
come and ancestry by the kind of furnishings found there.
Even knicknacks can categorize you. Examples given
were: Religious paintings—working class; abstract glass
sculptures—middle class; bowling trophies—lower-middle
class; Royal Doulton china and oil portraits—upper class.
There was much interesting information given in the re
port, including the probable location of the television set in
the different homes. Most people in the upper classes
haven’t had TVs in the living room for years but have
moved them into less formal areas.
But I was mostly interested in the descriptions of knick
nacks. And it seemed obvious to me that, of the 1,000 De
troit families in Laumann’s study, not one had children,
friends and/or relatives. I kept wondering. Didn’t any of
the upper-class families have a favorite middle-class aunt
(by marriage, maybe) who gave them one of the glass
sculptures she brought home from her trip to Venice?
Anyway, I’ve figured out where all those glass abstracts
came from. I know several middle-class tourists who had
Venice on the itinerary and every one of them brought
home rather strangely elongated glass objects from that
city. I was given one as a gift. I believe it represents a fish.

Dark outlook
NEW YORK (UPl)—Between
fall 1969 and spring 1970 one
million tons of soot from smoke
stacks will fall on United States
cities and towns, according to
William H. Bohn, vice president
of a firm specializing in air
control systems.
By BETTY CANARY
At this moment, it is in my living room. I did have it in the
dining room but eating in the same room with it was an un
nerving experience. I can’t put it in the kitchen because
the only space large enough is on top of my refrigerator
and it would vibrate and I would find that even more un
nerving. The bedroom is OUT. There’s nothing long enough
to hold the thing in the bathroom or front hall. Well you
can see that one’s decorating scheme isn’t necessarily a
matter of choice.
An observer in my living room could only be confused.
Besides the glass fish, I have there a portrait of my mother
that s upper class), some artificial flowers (lower-middle
class but my daughter MADE them, for heaven’s sake')
and my son’s chess trophy—working-class decor, perhaps
but it was the third year in a row he’s been school cham
pion, so I can hardly put the thing in his father’s den. I’d
nke to, because it’s on the mantel, hiding the only piece of
Royal Doulton I own. But there you are. That figurine an
upper-class symbol, doesn’t even belong to me. It’s 'my
sister s and she thinks it’s ugly. *
Just because I can’t find my own classification, there’s
no reason why you shouldn’t know where you stand (Help
ful hint: If you have a sunburst clock or abstract painting
you re middle class, probably newly prosperous.)
The report mentioned nothing about papier-mache vol
canoes, pencil holders made from orange juice cans or lon
sided Christmas candles crafted by fifth graders.

POLLY’S POINTERS
Create ‘Oil Paintings’
Os Your Own at Home
By POLLY CRAMER
■■■■■■■■■Polly's
DEAR POLLY—I have an old mirror that needs
new silver on the back. Can I buy this silver and do
it myself, as I do not want to spend a lot of money to
have it done?—EVELYN
DEAR GlßLS—Several of you have asked this same
question. There seems to be no way to do this satisfactorily
at home. It is a job for a professional, as far as I can learn.
If any of you have done it, do let us hear from you.—
POLLY
DEAR POLLY—Betty should have great fun creating
simulated oil paintings. Thirty-odd years ago, I thumb
tacked a picture to an old table, bread board or drawing
board. It was then covered with a single layer of cheese
cloth, keeping the threads in the cloth as straight as pos
sible, and then this was thumbtacked down outside the
picture. Apply one coat of clear shellac and let it partially
dry. Slowly lift off the cheesecloth and let the picture stay
in place on the board until completely dry. It takes two
people to remove the cheesecloth from a very large pic
ture. Os course, frame this without glass as a painting
would be done.—VERDA
DEAR POLLY—I have made literally hundreds of pic
tures look like oil paintings for clients. It is best to use a
print of an oil painting. With a stiff, one-half-inch brush,
apply an acrylic jell, following the brush strokes on the
print. Spread this jell thickly over the entire print to get a
texture. Dry thoroughly and then spray with varnish.—
D. L. M.
DEAR POLLY—A couple
of years ago, when we took
down our Christmas tree
lights and outdoor lights, I
wrapped each string of
lights around a wire coat
hanger, since the boxes
they came in are long gone.
I just kept wrapping a
cord loosely around the
base of the hook until I
came to the end and then
plugged the ends together.
This past year, when my husband put up the lights, all he
had to do was unwind them as he went along and there was
not one twist or tangle. We used to have to sit on the floor
for a good hour trying to untangle the mess of cords. I left
the bulbs in the sockets and, after wrapping each string on
its hanger, I wrapped newspaper around the hanger and
Eut them all in a large carton. We did not have one broken
ulb. Now putting up the lights is a pleasure instead of a
headache.—MßS. A. S.
