The hand, like Mercury's

The jewelry at Block's, made by Coro, picks up the winged hand motif for bracelets and pins ($5 and $3.98 respectively). Nails of the miniature hands are tipped with Revion’s new red

hands are missing from the earring designs, but the little wings are there. The latter are $3.98 and $5, the more expensive ones

Things to Eat From Hawaii VERONICA MORRISSEY — red-headed and Irish “Y with a name like that—runs Ayres’ Tearoom and must have picked her next vacation spot from a line of products they're featuring in the tearoo... (Veronica's

vacations usually turn into

tasting marathons because

she just can’t resist finding out what goes into the specialties served by eating places in other parts of the globe.)

Anyway, the new products

which the public may buy and

tote away from Ayres’ Tearoom are the Hawaiian Surf special ties . . .and Hawall is where Miss Morrissey is heading come summer. Out there, though, she probably won't find anything

more tasty than the new series

of foods with the Hawalian la-

bel, One of them is fresh coconut sirup (60 cents for a 6-oz. bottle), which involves coconut cream, sugar and pectin and

makes an unusual topping for

ice cream. Another is an es-

pecially good guava jelly, 60 cents for 12 ounces. Label on a B%-o0z. urn shaped pot says it contains Pure Keawe Honi

(honey to us mainlanders) and

it costs 70 cents. The bees who

got into this act worked on the aromatic blossoms of the tropical American Kiawe or Algaroba tree to produce a distinctive,

different tasting honey. Other Hawaiian Surf produ apple-mint jam, plain pineapple

cts are pineapple chutney, pinejam, Hawaiian conserve (mixed _

fruits) and something called Poha jelly. That one is made of Hawaiian ground cherry and it's as appealing as the rest of

the lot.

° By JEAN TABBERY * LOOKS LIKE a picture, fune-. tional as a lamp. That's the best way to describe Decoralite, the Lightolier Co.'s answer to good decoration and efficient lighting. The framed wall lamps have a three-way switch that lights the fluorescent bulb in the upper frame, the one in the bottom of the frame and the last which shines through the picture panel. The “pay off” adds up to ample illumination for room lighting, generous, glareless light for reading or accent through the picture to highlight the design. The upper bulb may be used, also, as a night light in a child’s room for the pictures come in hand-painted childhood scenes, Accent-lighting for a favorite spot is another way

the lamps will “earn their keep.”

Simple to Hang

Decoralites are simple to put up—hang like a picture, plug in like a lamp. The cord may be switched to conceal it cleyerly the way it's done in the photograph or left as it comes down the center of the frame when above a double bed. The lamps are made of glass or clear plastic decorated panel in enameled metal frames. They are 18 inches wide, 16 inches high and come In pairs of related subjects as well as singly. Hand painting, silk screening and steriopticon effects are adapted to suit this medium. Delicate dancing figures, floral groups and Oriental or Persian motifs. are the predominating motifs. The ballet etching was created by Franz Grosz, the artist. There also is a pair of Decoralites which portrays a Victorian family completé with bicycles and costumes. Another pair creates an ideal “period piece” with Godey ladies idling in a summer setting. The pictures provide reading» in-bed comfort, dre practical decoration highlights over a buffet or desk. Or they can light up a recessed shelf or cabinet unit to emphasize each plece of wric-a-brac displayed there. Decoralites are available locally.

Designing Woman—

By ELIZABETH HILLYER SOME OF the woods you're seeing in the new furniture are from far away places and have strange sounding names. Because demand for light colored woods is so great the whole world is searched for them and the searchers come up with kinds you've never heard of before, from Africa, the Philippines, Ceylon, Burma, Australia and South America. The new wood you'll be hearing most about is commercially called korina in this country. Actually it has been known and has had a limited use for many years. The Frénch call it limba and the English afara. * * “

IT IS used for new furniture

in both period and modern designs usually -in light colors, sometimes in dark and light shades as in the modérn table. Probably because mahogany is so well known and so great a favorite korina is sometimes said to be a member of the mahogany family but except for its fine grain it is quite different,

Korina is ‘naturally a cream
