Vm, HER ls Plaid for a Halloween gathering .. . By JEAN TABBERT RUSSEL WRIGHT is a pacesetter in the home furnishings field. He introduced one of the first lines of modern tableware, and, when there was a big need, a contemporary crystal pattern. Now he’s breaking new frontiers with a brand new tablecloth type. It's a colorful, durable weave of cotton and rayon that has the sheen of damask with none of the pallor. Instead the earthy quality of homespun is emphasized. But the sophisticated color range gives it a sleek rather than a primitive appearance. The tightly woven fabric spotlights its practicality.

Mr. Wright believes tablecloths should be full-blooded rela-
tives to dinnerware and food for a change.
No matter how
much inspiration goes into the design of a dinnerware shape, its reputation as a well-groomed and important accessory is lost when placed on an unimportant cloth, he maintains. The “horse blanket” plaid tablecloth is shown in two different table settings. Left, the plaid accents a witch's cauldron, black plates and saucers, amber glasses and a dark brown jug.

Overworked Muscles
The lighting in the room should not give too great a contrast between the screen and the background. The constant shifting of the eye from a bright to a dark background: causes considerably more work for the muscles that regulate the extra work and so the eyes tire more quickly. “No matter what size screen is used, it is not necessary for the person with good vision to get very close to the instrument.
