The quality of a pillow .is determined by its fillin feathers from waterfowl (geese and

feathers from land fowl are less desirable and are used only ih low

{ DUCK FEA are similar in onstruction to se feathers, but are not as strong, resilient or fluffy. Their shafts are weaker and less arched, which makes them less resilient and less buoyant.

CHICKEN AND TURKEY FEATHERS _ have straight shafts, which must be artificially curled to give them some of the springiness that is natural to watefowl feathers. After a few years this curl is lost, and the feathers become dead and lifeless. Turkey feathers are some-

. ‘what superior to chicken feathers,

but both are inferior to waterfowl feathers. J A good pillow can be told by the Yollowing characteristics: 1. Lightness. Of two pillows the same size and plumpness, the lighter is superior. 2. Resiliency. To test for resiliency, lay the pillow flat and press down the center with both hands. The more completely it rebounds, the better the feathers. 3. Buoyancy. This is the ability to sustain weight, so that it will hold the head comfortably without letting it sink too far into the pillow. 4. Freedom from odor, dust, stiff feathers and lumps. Good pillows must have tickings that are guaranteed feather and down-proof. Eight-ounce blue stripe ticking is a standard of quality. Eight-ounce warp sateens also give good service. ‘The purpose of a pillow is to rest the neck muscles. As in the case of mattresses, the degree of firmness is a matter of personal preference.

Women and girls usually like soft pillows, while men and boys often

find medium firm or firm more comfortable.

By MARY ELIZABETH PRIM Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—For bride or career girl setting up a home in a tiny apartment on a low budget the tendency is to shop around for furniture of the traditonal type, even though the more dashing modern pieces are preferred. Sloane’s Smaller Homes Shop here offers an ingenious solution to this dilemma. The shop features a oneroom apartment furnished in modern pieces, designed by Saarinen, but finished in the conventional deep-toned mahogany of the 18th and early 19th century instead of the bleached woods hitherto used in contemporary furniture. Although the lines of these tables, chairs and sofas are simple and functional they are finished in rich brown with crossbandings and have Sheraton-design hardware. By adapting the contemporary style to a traditional tempo it is possible to use these pieces with heirloom furniture or reproductions of it.

In the Old Tradition

Moreover, the deeper tones take away any suggestion of outlandishness of which hidebound traditionalists accuse any modern form. Use the open armchairs, which the shop has arranged by the fireplace in the one-room apartment, and even Aunt Sarah will not consider them incongruous with your greatgrandmother’s Duncan Phyfe table. Another attractive piece in the apartment is an armchair in twotoned green striped satin. The coloring makes it look as if it might ave graced: any interior of a century or mere ago. The design is, however, similar to upholstered furniture used with the chromium chairs in a house designed by a contemporary architect. The desk is particularly charming with a long, open shelf beneath the top and plenty of drawer space down one side. The symmetrical effect is contemporary. A similar piece of 18th-century design would have drawers on either side. Yet, by making it of deep-toned mahogany, it could be used with any Sheratontype piece. All of Same Height

All the units in the one-room apartment are of the same height, the idea being that the owner can switch them from one room to another as her income allows her to take a larger apartment. The desk woud fit equally well into a bedroom, living room or library. The sofa-bed could be transferred to the living room when a real bedroom is acquired. The color scheme of the oneroom apartment would please innovator or traditionalist, combining, as it does, pale amethyst, jade green, mauve and cream. The wall-

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am so mixed up I don’t know what to do. I went away on a visit and met a wonderful boy. love at first sight and so did he. I am 20 years old. When I came back he promised to come for me in October. Before I went on this visit I was going steady with a boy at home. He heard that I was going to get married and wouldn't speak to me for about three weeks. When he finally made up he told me that he still loved me and wahted to marry me, He has one fault; he drinks, al-

though he has promised to quit if I will marry him. After I came home I still cared for the out-of-town boy for about a month, but I don’t seem to care for him now that I have been going with the other one and don’t know whether to tell him to come or not. Please advise me what to do.

Answer—Never trust a man’s promise to quit drinking if you will marry him. He may give his promise in all good faith and mean every word he says without the strength to carry out his resolve. Excessive drinking is a symptom of personality difficulties which point to future trouble. If he does not want to stop drinking for his own sake you may be sure he will not be able to stop merely to please you. Let him prove his ability to let liquor alone over a long period of time before you risk tying your life to his. As for the out-of-town boy, it is highly unsafe to marry one whom you know so little. If you would like to see him with a view to determining whether or not the attraction is still present, there is no reason for you not to do so, but if intent is to take you away as his wife in October, your answer uld be no. Already you have lost interest in him and have no basis for a lifetime parnership. I do not thing that you are in any of mind to make an important decision. After all you are only /20 and do not have to marry this’ year or next. It is well to your time and be more sure of the wisdom of your choice.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young girl of 16 very much in love with a boy of 17. About a month ago he asked me.to marry him, but I told him that both of us were too young. I was not sure that I really loved him at that time, but since I have not seen him for about three weeks I feel that I do really love him, and that life isn’t worth living if he isn’t around. I have had dates with other boys and tried to forget him, but so far have not succeeded. Do you thing I should keep on trying to forget or try to get in touch with him somehow? Do you think he has forgotten me completely? : : LONESOME.

Answer—Give yourself, time. Three weeks isn't enough. You should not take the proposal of a 17-year-old boy seriously.
