Brooklyn SkillsX-ChangeThis is summer, supposedly the time whenstudents rejoice over their lack of school, yet eachday thousands of New Yorkers trudge off toclasses - willingly. Has a miracle occurred andchildren actually like school? No. The peopleattending classes are full-grown men and womenseeking to enrich themselves through adulteducation classes. Schools like the Apple SkillsExchange have attracted people in droves withcourses on topics ranging from weaving toCommunism.With this trend in mind, the Brooklyn SkillsExchange has been formed, where a person withknowledge or skill in a particular field can sharethis with eager students - both at their leisure.Each teacher has complete control over thecontent of his course. For all people interested inteaching classes for the Brooklyn Skills Exchangethere is a meeting on Tuesday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at108 Lawrence Street, second floor loft.

But in solving these problems, the Victorianhouse buyer is faced with new problems that amember of today%u2019s society is sometimes at a lossto solve. So they flub up a gorgeous house bypainting it all white and turning it into a literalwhite elephant. Or they try to make it lookColonial; a big mistake. The secret is analyzing aVictorian home%u2019s architectural features andmaking the most of them. The difficulty is thatmany people don%u2019t know what to look for in a late19th century house.To provide some guidelines, the Old-HouseJournal has issued %u201c Decorating The VictorianHouse,%u201d a 4-page folder that offers concise butthorough pointers on how to enhance the naturalelegance of these roomy beauties without makingthem museum reproductions of the cluttered,fussy look for which the Victorian age is notorious.Brooklynites are pretty sensible aboutpreserving the heritage that this Borough%u2019sarchitecture hands down, but some designers willtry their darnedest to get renovating greenhornsto buy things they neither need nor want,persuading them that it%u2019ll help. So besides costingan extra bundle, the desired affect of the homecan be ruined. So, since this guide is free, it can%u2019thurt to see what it says by writing The Old-HouseJournal, Dept. 50, 199 Berkely PI., Brooklyn,11217.
