Modern St Styles Complement

Period Rooms

> and Sturdy Base Are Essentials

By JEAN TABBERT SMALL TABLES are the spice an amateur interior decorator uses tohelp make a room individual. Consequently, a table that's bought to harmonize with a particular room's decorative scheme is a thoughtful and welcome gift, A variety of tables are on the market now and they're priced reasonably in comparison - with other furniture prices. It's easy to find several styles in each period 80 that a wide selection is avallable. » » » IT'8 A novel idea to choose a modern style to accent a traditional interior. Modein lines are uncluttered and for the most part, more space-saving and multi-pur= pose than the period styles, Nowadays many of the modern designs actually are contemporary, which means they can be matched both with very modern and period room furnishings. The contemsporary styles delete the harsh lines of the ultra-modern and use warmer colors to blend with the darker, traditional woods, Small tables are an essential part of easy entertaining and certainly have entered intu the spirit of informal parties, They're conversation pieces, too, not alone pecause they're being made in interesting shapes, sizes and woods. They enhance chair or groupings and seem to invite prolonged conversations. ” u n THIS IS largely because of an

are Manual students.

By SALLY KNOWING when to shake hands can save you from embarrassment. Ever see a pair get fouled uv over this simple act of courtesy? One sticks out a hand, then draws it back just as the other gets his flipper out. It's comic. Now, listen. Two men always shake hands when they are introduced or when they meet on the street. Two women usually do, but they need not. And between a gentleman and a woman, it's up to Madam to decide. A guy never puts out his hand unless the gal offers her's first.

They're for St. Nick On a Spending Spree .By KAY SHERWOOD NEA Staff Writer ’ * NEW YORK, Dec. 12—Santa, | showing a prodigal disregard for price tags, has tucked away in an ermine-lined pack fabulous novele ties for good little girls with very rich uncles who don't mind Christmas bills the size of the national debt. Useful gifts which you or I would try-to pick up for a few dollars have been done up in glit= tering opulence that shoots price tags to stratospheric levels. In the case of these pretties, all that glitters IS gold—or precious gems, A new washing machine, taste fully finished in 24K gold plating and: real silver, will brighten up blue Mondays for the little wome an. This gilded beauty has all the advantages of an ordinary auto. matic washer but the price tag reads $500. Stocking-stuffer for a glamour girl is a tiny “mad money” coin purse. For $500, she can tuck a dollar in change into this little whimsy of gold mesh, which has a top set with diamonds, rubies
