Sherman Yellen - Brother - Memories As I make my way to my physical therapist I pass my sister's apartment house on East 74th Street. Time was I could not pass it without tearing up, and I avoided the street if I wanted to walk dry-eyed down Lexington Avenue. There is - there was - a special relationship between an older sister and her kid brother. You knew she found you a pest making judgments about her boyfriends and giving a precocious kid a bad name. Unlike the world today our family always dined together. On Sundays, we sat around the piano and sang a very awkward version of The Mikado or The Gondoliers - and laughed our way through Gilbert and Sullivan's masterworks. We fought a lot as kids but as we matured we found the respect for each other that lasted a lifetime. She was the one I came to for advice - and it was invariably good advice. And she would ask my opinion on what mattered to her. Others might have found her eccentric with her floppy Garbo hats and ancient Rolls Royce - but despite these, she was what was then called "down to earth" with a vibrant wit and welcoming personality - when she suddenly found herself a feature in the New York Times for her remarkable interior decorating that she took in her stride. Like my mother she hated snobbery but living well was something worth doing - and being generous and giving to the less fortunate was natural to her. Unlike my mother who was a rare beauty, Simone was pleasingly pretty, with a dynamic personality, much admired by all who knew her. She died young at 60 of leukemia and there is never a Christmas that goes by that I don't think of us both running downstairs at the first light in our Dr. Dentons - to see what Santa Nat and Lilly had left under the tree. We were never disappointed. Even the stockings we hung were filled with toy cars and the best candy. But best of all was the pleasure we saw on our parent's faces - both having lived through childhood poverty - that they were able to make us happy, amidst all the hastily torn paper wrappings. And the cries of their children ' "See what I got!" delighted them. I did not then understand that we were giving our parents that childhood they never had - and for some reason, it did not make us greedy for more - whatever we got was enough and soon to be shared with friends. My sister Simone only disappointed me once, by dying too young to know my young sons and her own grandson as they matured into the splendid men they are. But we can't have everything. Thank the Lord for the memories.

Simone Yellen Feldman, an interior designer, died yesterday at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan. She was 61 years old. She died of leukemia, said Victoria Hagan, her partner in Feldman-Hagan Interiors, a New York design firm. Mrs. Feldman was born in New York and obtained a B.F.A. from Syracuse University. She established her own design firm in the late 1950's and became a member of the American Society of Interior Designers in 1975. Ms. Hagan met Mrs. Feldman through a mentor-apprenticeship program sponsored by the A.S.I.D. when she was a student at the Parsons School of Design in 1982. Mrs. Feldman founded Feldman-Hagan Interiors with Ms. Hagan in 1985 to specialize in residential interiors and corporate office work. Uncluttered, Not Minimal In the last few years, Feldman-Hagan Interiors has risen to prominence and garnered a following among stylish clients who favored a look that is uncluttered but not minimal. Spare, often neutral-colored rooms, were furnished with an eclectic mix of antiques and modern pieces, as well as graphic modern photographs. Feldman-Hagan Interiors participated in the 1988 showhouse at Keewaydin, a home in Southampton, L.I., that benefited the Rogers Memorial Library there, and in the prestigious 1990 Kips Bay Boys' and Girls' Club Decorator Showhouse. The decorators devised a "salon of social consciousness," an airy living room that was considered the most influential room in the showhouse. Recycling a Theme Combining such objects as an antique toy airplane with a Louis XVI settee and including some handwritten words from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince," the room wove the concepts of recycling and responsibility to nature into an elegant framework. Mrs. Feldman's corporate clients have included U.S. Steel, the Harmonie Club, and, most recently, Mitsui Fudosan, a Japanese real estate company. Mrs. Feldman is survived by her husband, Edgar; a brother, Sherman Yellen; a daughter, Mindy Schanback, and a grandson, Benjamin, all of Manhattan.
