AFTER-DINNER COFFEE HAS FURNITURE ALL ITS OWN'
New Twist Is Given to Old Habit .i article I# written exeluairHv for y re and Thr Time*) by Mrs. ,roje I.vlv food specialist, who writes .• the lead.nc women’* magazine*. BV MRS. PENROSE LYLY Written tor SKA Service The ceremony of after-dinner .fee has developed its own special irniture. In the spirit of modern .ventiveness, manufacturers have sought tables, china, glass and i.verware of beauty to increase the • icasures of coffee drinking. Bright lor and startling shapes have apeared to add a modern twist to a nerable habit. . To emphasize the highly sociable nature of after-dinner coffee low . road tables are used so that friends may gather about them. These tables should be about two ' ieet high and of surface ample enough to hold the tray bearing the coffee pot, the service, cups and both cigarct box and dinner mints. Recall Queen Anne The nation's smartest shops display ail manner of these intimate , coflee tables. Some have Queen Anne legs to recall the reign of , Queen Anne, during which the EngL lish developed coflee drinking into ' one of the major social arts. Others reflect early American days of coffee drinking by gracefully turned legs reminiscent of Duncan Phyfe. And others are so modern . they have no legs at all, but seem rather the playful dreams of cabinet makers’ come true in exotic woods and metals. Many of these tables are equipped with trays that fit exactly over their tops. Others are without trays. ;They range in price from what we can pay to what we might dream . of being able to pay If our ship ever does come in. All Not Costly But coffee tables need rot cost! large sums of money. Any woman with taste and a few dolars can purchase at most of our stores unpainted coffee tables that reflect accurately the fine craftsmanship and ■historical influence of the more expensive ones. An eye for color, a few sheets of 1 sandpaper and a can of good paint —behold, an exquisite bit of modem ’ social equipment. Match your paint to the prevailing tone of your living room. Before applying it, be certain your unpainted surface is as smooth as velvet. Sandpapering will achieve this. When the first coat Is dry, sandpaper the painted surface lightly ■ with No. 00 paper and then paint ; agan. Shellac twice for a hard sur- ’ face. For a Pleasing Result ' Coffee tables in soft green harmonize with almost any kind of ■ room. A Chinese lacquer effect calls for a can of Mandarin red ’ paint—at least three coats—much sandpapering, and two coats of . darkened shellac. But the small amount of extra work will produce , a large result. Although rich fragrant coffee is the most important feature of the ( ceremony, a lovely pot does increase the enjoyment. Attractive coffee pots of china 'or porcelain can be obtained in various colors and shapes. The new glasswares service, in amber, sapphire, ruby and emerald, costs ! far less than its beauty would suggest. Glazed Pottery Good
Glazed pottery In odd, squat shapes—some daring even beyond imagination—offer new and refreshing ways to carry on a social tradiiion. And, of course, sterling silver is always in order. Demi-tasse cups of china, peasant pottery, glass and glazed ware offer a variety of choices. Small coffee spoons are reeded. But let no hostess deny herself the serving of after-dinner coffee for lack of (diver spoons. Our best 5 and 10-cent stores carry small spoons in quiet and approved patterns that fit the occasion with grace. Only in contemporary living can such grace be so inexpensive, by the way. Linen is not necessary, though it Is frequently used. Specially designed coffee napkins are being introduced by exclusive linen shops. But in these matters, the color of the room, the type of table used and the nature of the dinner and the hostess’ caprice will correctly settle the question.
She Cant tell the Truth It happens every month, but its very regularity makes excuses the more embarrassing. What a pity all women harassed by painful periods l tve not learned to depend on 'Viol! tablet of Midol ends pein five to seven minutes. Jot even discomfort need now be 'experienced at such times. Your rst trial of this marvelous product if apecialists will prove the truth of his glorious news. Midol is not a narcotic and is perfectly harmless •o use. but it acts directly on the orans affected and relieves completely and immediately in even severest cases. And Midol costs but fifty cental You will find it at any drugstore in handy little carrying case of aluminum that will tuck away In the smallest purse or pocket.—Advertisement.

PARIS, Nov. 29. VERY single solitary time I pack anything, from the last terrific packing of the tons upon tons of what was necessary for the wholesale exodus of one Dare, La Chic Secretaire and Mamzelle from New York, to a single overnight bag, I am urged to wonder if eighty-seven years is sufficient time in which to learn the art of packing! Getting the certain necessary things into a certain alloted space, getting the particular things into the immediately available pieces—well, you know. And it just isn’t a matter merely of not have room for things, either because too much room is every bit as criminal as too little room in the final and ghastly results. From long and ofttimes disastrous experience, let me here give you some bits of packing advice, which may save you from such calamities! mem T EAVING a hotel room or small apartment: Take everything out of every dresser drawer, closet or any covered up place of any sort, and put them on the bed. Close the drawers, closets, etc., and be satisfied THEN, not later, that there is nothing left in them. Have plenty of tissue-paper and some pieces of unbleached muslin. It is not only necessary to WTap fine things to keep them from coming into contact with other things, but it is necessary to wrap shoes and things of that sort as well to keep THEM from coming into contact with the delicate things. Put squeezable and spillable things into wooden boxes and see that they are held firmly in the boxes with wads of paper. Remember it is not only liquids that spill—tubes of toothpaste and jars of cream have ways of emptying their contents in places where they are least appreciated. And last but not least, pack toward the sides of your suitcases, never in the middle, and then fill in the CORNERS with small objects. W’e'll tell you some more about different types of packing some other day.
llfE promised to tell you the rest VY of the story some day—that was last week, and just to s'prise you. were just going to! Remember that Redfern dress with green crepe circular skirt and black satin blouse? Well, here it it, worn with its green crepe jacket. Hasn’t it really a quiet air of its own? * u M Do you like the little designs we show in one corner of our sketches? There are lots of ways you can use them, you know! So we made up a leaflet of twenty of them, with the directions for transferring them and enlarging them. Twenty unusual designs for a 2-ccnt stamp to the Dare department of The Times. Don't you think you might just send for the leaflet? SUM Au Revoir! Pin Feathers To get pin feathers off a duck, paint the whole bird with melted paraffin. When it hardens, the pin feathers come off with the wax.
