Provincial Type Furniture Is Popular

New Styles Roomy

But Space Saving By JEAN TABBERT Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, July 7 — French provincial is the type furniture receiving most attention at this summer session of the International Hoi Market. And it's easy to see why. The consumer has asked for furniture with graceful, clean lines— put she'd also like it functional and adaptable. That just about describes French provincial's chief characteristics. The Karpen Furniture people call their provincial line “modernized.” Each piece is scaled to fit into the smaller home or apartment. One group has a hard maple finish. Another is in antique white enamel tipped with gold. The chairs and sofas are roomy; yet as space-saving as the most severe modern. Upholstery fabrics help convey this modern feeling, too. Some have nubby texture dnd come in decorator sk ades—corals, bright blues, emerald green. Others are in metallic weave. The Tomlinson Co. has treated French provincial in another way. It's done in cherrywood ‘' with amber accents. The line has a night stand which also can serve as an end table with book space and a sewing drawer. The double dresser is just as handy as a dining room sideboard or a combination living-dining room chest. Television is responsible for one of the chief furniture trends here. . The furniture manufacturers hope it will make people stay home, invite guests, and create, therefore, more interest in home furnishings.

Aluminum

FRESHNESS ASSURED—This lunch box meal will be as fresh

as ‘though it were just prepared even if it's consumed a day later.

This aluminum foil wrapping may

be reused half a dozen times by

simply washing it off and smoothing out the wrinkles.

AN ALUMINUM product fhat’'s designed to save food, flavor, and work will appear in Indianapolis grocery, drug and department stores tomorrow. It's aluminum foil —a multipurpose covering that's as versatile as the most efficient maid. You've seen it often protecting the freshness of cheese, tea, candy and yeast. Now it's appearing in a handy roll—a thin, flexible sheet of wrapping paper. Easy to use, it will tear neatly when pulled over the edge of the carton. The wrap reflects the heat, thus speeding cooking on the underside of foods. Sweet corn, for instance, can be boiled or baked by wrapping the shucked ears in snug foil jackets. This holds in the juicy tenderness and serves as a sparkling cover to hold in the heat at the table. » » » BAKED potatoes, brushed first with butter, are extra-

flavorsome. So are acorn squash. The squash should be cut in half; cleaned; buttered and seasoned; wrapped, -then baked. Droopy vegetables, such as celery, lettuce or other greens, will crisp and freshen when placed in the foil, then put in the freezing compartment of the refrigerator for five: minutes. Perishable tomatoes will be preserved days longer when wrapped in the foil. Placed under an ice tray aluminum foil will solve that sticking problem. Trays may be removed effortlessly. It will moth-proof woolens, keep paint brushes soft, serve as an ironing board cover. When hard-to-iron blouses or shirts are on the board, time is cut by pressing sleeves or collars only once. The foil presses the opposite side! ‘

REFRIGERATOR COVERALL—Juicy cherries won't spill over the refrigerator if covered with aluminum foil. For a casserole «of leftovers, the foil can be cut into desired size and simply pressed into shape. No clamp is needed to hold it in place.

itself, aluminum foil will keep food odors from spreading. Strong-smelling foods can rest side by side in the refrigerator and never contaminate each other. Along this same line, several vegetables may be cooked together in a pressure cooker or saucepan. If each is wrapped séparately in a bag shape, twisted tightly at the top and placed in boiling water, the vitamins and minerals are preserved as well as the flavor. Leftover food no’ longer is a problem with the foil. Cooked vegetables, meats, potatoes or salads will be kept wholesome and . appetizing in your refrigerator for days when wrapped in the paper. Reheat small amounts in the foil and save cooking utensils. ” = . LARGE amounts of fgesh meat or poultry, on the other hand, also can be stored in the

foil. When ready to roast, place the meat fat side up in the center of the foil. Season, and slice an onion over the meat. Bring the wrap up over the meat. Cover it completely and press the edges together. Place in a roasting pan in a medium hot oven (375 degrees F.) and roast the usual length of time. During the last half hour, open up and turn back so the meat and juices will brown. Discard the wrap, allowing the juices to remain in the pan. Make the gravy as usual. You'll find this method is excellent for the less tender and cheaper cuts of meat and poultry. The roast won't dry out or over-brown and the roasting pan will be as clean as when it was taken out of the cupboard. For steaks, chops or fish, line the broiling pan under the rack with the paper. Turn the edges up all around to hold in the drippings.

stered pieces are being made larg-

er. Sectionals, still as popular} as ever, can be made to stretch the width of a room. Single

davenports, like an eight-footer at Tomlinson’s, come king size, too. Herman Miller, in a high style line designed by George Nelson, is showing a dropleaf writing desk for the living room. It contains lots of drawer space for the growing bookkeeping needs of the homemaker and also extends to executive size. Yet it consumes a minimum of space. Another of his practical ideas is the slip jacket. Not a slip coyer, this second-skin upholstery is made to zip and snap off for easy cleaning and seasonal change. It has the trim look of permanent covering and comes in durable fabrics. A novelty in bedside lighting is the hinged light panel of a storage headboard. The panel swings to shed adequate reading light yet shields the eyes of a sleeper in the adjoining bed. The headboard tilts to make bed reading more comfortable and to allow for storage. One of the most cheerfully planned groupings is the continuation of the American informal lines by Tomlinson. Originally shown in butternut, this modified modern now comes in black lacquer or cordovan mahogany. There's the yond to dark woods showing up again.

IT'S ONLY in recent years that we have known melons contained anything but water, crude fiber and some substances responsible for flavor and fragrance. When vitamins were discovered and nutrition scientists began analyzing various foods, some melons were found to be dietetically important. Cantaloupe is one of the best. While a half melon four and a half inches in diameter contains only 35 calories, it supplies 5130 international units of vitamin A (only 5000 are needed for the whole day), some thiamine, riboflavin and niacin and 50 milligrams of Vitamin C (we need only 75 for the day).

Beauty—

Put the ‘Chill’ on Summer

By ALICIA HART NEA Staft Writer

TAKE STOCK of these heatdefying tricks if hot weather wilts your spirits, dampens your enthusiasm for summer fun. Wear light-colored clothing. Dark colors and black may be the last word in chic, but lightcolored clothing which absorbs less heat from the sun will keep you cooler. The more porous a fabric is, the better air-conditioned {it will be.

WEAR LARGER shoes. Even those feet which don't expand during hot weather will appreciate roomier quarters. Your reward for giving them ampler space will be a bouncier step. Take warm baths. You will come out of a tepid bath feeling cooler and claiming a longer lease on freshness than you will from an icy shower, When the thermometer climbs to a record high, the best-known trick of outwitting discomfort is to thrust your hands wrist-deep into a basin of cold water.

A NEW ANGLE ip the education of an operator comes from Tokyo. Seems the problem is a little different over there. Here, for example, operators go through intensive training courses on how to speak distinctly. The “Voice with 2 Smile”— must be correct. In Tokyo, though, they've got the Allied occupation forces to contend with. And on the phome, any resemblance between the way Americans pronounce names of Japanese places — and the way they're supposed to be pronounced — is purely accidental. That's why Japanese telephone operators are now being taught to say names as the Allies commonly mispronounce them. It’s kind of a course in Japanese as she are mis-spoke!

EVERYBODY, IT SEEMS, has his own pet recipe for getting along with party line neighbors. Mrs. E. M. Taylor of Muncie, for example, recently stated hers this way: “. .. Don’t try to do

your cooking and canning on the phone.” We've a party line recipe, too. Only we can’t express it as graphically as Mrs. Taylor did. Ours simply ¥ says: "Everybody benefits when each party uses

WE SHUDDER to think of it — but recently we got to wondering how many people have missed winning some tremendous radio program prize only because they didn’t answer the telephone in time. Could happen, you know! Particularly now, when people are out-of-doors so much. Of course, radio MC's — like everybody else — shouldn't hang up so quickly during the summer months. Let ‘er ring longer — we say. Naturally, if it's your phone that's ringing — try to answer exira fast. After all, it might mean a new car, a trip

INDIANA BELL TELEPHONE

SOME TIME BACK when Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Hix ordered a telephone installed in their farm home near Marion—they little realized what would happen. The phone they eventually got turned out to be the 500,000th in Indiana Bell Territory. Photographers and reporters who joined telephone people on the eventful day for a little celebration of the occasion agreed it couldn’t have happened to nicer folks. It's hard to say who was the most thrilled—MTr. and Mrs. Hix or their three children. We'll admit to being éxcited, too. After all, 500,000 telephones is more than you'll find in the whole of Brazil—or Belgium—or China, to mention but a few big countries. We'll also admit that we've gained more telephones since the end of World War II than we did in all the 20 years preceding. your viewpoint, that means you can now call more people

— and more people can call you — than ever before!

TO MOST PEOPLE —1 second isn't very importgat. Not so, with us, If, for example, we could chop a second off every one of the 3,000,000 calls we handle daily — the time saved edch day would equal more than a month. We're making progress on this problem ~— especially on Long Distance. Today, most out-of-town calls go through while you're on the line. By most — we mean 9 out of 10. And this holds true across the state or across the pation. Try it and see!
