There are many new items to
make the home more attractive
to the eye. Modern adaptions
of old ironstone wear, nylon cur
tains and decorator fabrics that
are beautiful and long-wearing,
as well as easy to Nylon
table mats and napkins are be
coming veiy popular, also.
Furniture, too, is taking on
new character. There is a set
of square end tables which fit
over separate rectangular ones
which make convenient step
extensions. When pulled out,
they may be used individually
or combined for a long, low
coffee table.
Built-in furniture is big news
for people who are building a
small home. There is a very
good look to be had that goes
into the details of construction
Many new furniture groupings
use the coffee table as an axis
Aiound it are placed chairs and
sofas in conversational group
ings
Small pieces of furniture
that do a job are being made
for the small home. One piece
is a tiny chest of mahognay in
traditional design. The size is
exactly right next to chairs or
sofas. The four drawers provide
storage space. Drop leaves on
each side transform the chest
into a desk or buffet when
needed.
Wallpaper and matching chintz
can create lovely effects at lit
tle cost. The matching designs
and heavy, and the precipitation amounts
which determine these classes are obtained
from an analysis of many years of record
at many stations.

Look for Poultry
Inspection Mark
To be suie of getting h'gh
auahty, wholesome chicken, look
for the circular inspection mark
which reads, “Inspected for
wholesomencss by U S Depai t
ment of Agucultuie”
Elsie’ Bamesbergsr. extension
consumer education specialist, of
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, says the label may be a
metal clip placed on the wing,
a paper tag 01 sticker, or a
maik on the package
This inspection mark is used
only on leady-tocook that
have been examined by a Co\-
ernment mspectox and parsed as
wholesome food
We’ve often wondered what
the president of the small college
thinks of those million dollar
gifts to the laiger universities
Christian Science Momtoi
can be found in most big de

design large and interesting
