Novel Gadgets Galore Tempt Spring Buyers Shopping for Home This Month Becomes Mild Orgy. BY’ MARY’ MARGARET MrBRIDE NEW YORK. May 14.—Because you want to buy every second lovely gadget you see in the stores, spring shopping for the home in this city of designers’ Ingenuity becomes a mild orgy these soft May days. For instance, how are you going to avoid gurgling with glee right out in public when you come on a teapot with, believe it or not, a removable top that is made in two sections, one for cream, one for sugar. Then there is a gay pair of ducks in bright colors with detachable tails that hold oil and vinegar respectively. Moreover they’re quilting leather this year. Did you ever hear of anything so utterly, though pleasantly, ridiculous? Cigaret boxes come in the quilted leather colored pink, green or yellow. Dumbbell Shakers And as if that were not enough, you ought to see the cocktail shaker shaped like a dumbbell. You seem to be doing your evening exercises while shaking cocktails and if you want to add something to the absurd picture, the same manufacturer has made cocktail mitts for you of toweling with bells sewn on the backs to jingle as you shake. Another slightly mad fancy, this time for the yard, not the house, is a sprinkler oi copper in the shape of a flower—tulip, lotus of what you will. Very decorative for the wellkept lawn and not too expensive. Flowers Are Everywhere Flowers seem fated to play a great part in the summer drama cf 1936. According to horticulturists, more of them will be grown than ever before, and the designers, quick to take a hint, are using flower designs on wallpaper, china, linen and even glass. Holders for the flowers may masquerade as anything. For example, you probably never heard of flower—holding book-ends, did you? Well, you’ve heard of them now and soon you’ll be seeing them. A clever space-saver thought them up. The newest rustic hanging baskets for ferns and flowers are of red unglazcd pottery. Gourds are decorated to become glorified containers for jonquils and sweetpeas. A particularly tricky device is a wal. mask of a lady. The fresh flowers seem to rest sweetly in the ladv’s hair. 500 Expected To Hear WPA Leader Speak More than 500 Indiana club women, township trustees and welfare workers are to attend the WPA women’s work luncheon at the Claypool tomorrow, w'hen Ellin S. Woodward, Washington, national director, is to speak. Mrs. Woodward is to be introduced by Wayne Coy, Indiana regional WPA director. Gov.
