| Use Conds For That Yule Touch

The warm glow of candlelight belongs to Christmas as truly as Santa Claus. You're missing something special in Christmas atmosphere if you don't use all the candles you can, Decorate candles and candlestick and any kind look festive—they're often all that's needed to brighten the mantelpiece or a table. Begin sparkling tree ornaments at the candlestick and twine them ardund and around tall candles. Use the tiny ball-type ornaments that come strung like beads in short strands. Restring them en wire that you leave partly coiled. - " n » CRANBERRIES strung on the wire are pretty, too, and the candlesticks may be low ones. For an unusual effect for a taller candlestick or for a low one, use the glittering ball ornaments that ean be bought attached to the ends of chenillecovered wire. Tuck the wires into the candlestick with the candle and bend them over into graceful ares. Light candles the minute it's dark enough and enjoy them

Consumers, Buyers :

See Eye-To-Eye in Furnishings Poll

CHICAGO, Dec. oy increasing similarity between =

consumer and buyer was evidenced in the top

tastes in home furnishings selections of both groups in

the recent poll of visitors to Good Design.

This poll is conducted semiannually in connection with the Merchandise Mart's Good Design exhibition, sponsored jointly by the Mart and the Museum of Modern Art. Consumers and buyers were asked to make their selections among the 474 different home furnishjng items which are currently displayed in the 1951 exhibit. Number ome choice of consumers in the current poll was George Nelson's executive walnut desk, whieh buyers previously had selected as first choice, This time the buyer favorite was the natural cherry wood desk designed by Edward J. Wormley. The Wormley ~desk was the second choice of consumers, ranking the same as it had in the spring poll of that group. Weormley’s oval drop leaf table was runner-up among buyers in the current pojL » » 1 IN THE THIRD PLACE among consumers was Chambers’ pale gray range with chrome broiler and locking gas handles, which previously had ranked first in that group's spring poll. Buyers picked the Nelson executive desk as third place winner. Langbein’s low - fold wicker chair with storage space remained the fourth ‘choice of consumers, while Wegner’s oak frame chair with woven reed seat ranked fourth among buyers. This reflects no change in fourth place among consumers since the previeus poll. In fifth place among consumers was Guy Barker's glass top table with wooden legs, and among buyers there was a fifth place tie between Finn Juhl’s dining chair in natural finish woods and the English walnut and mahogany floor model radio from Murphy Radio, Ltd. Consumers ranked George Nelson's round white plastic top table with lazy susan center as sixth (previously in fifth place among that group). Buyers dropped the Nelson table from its earlier sixth position among that group to 12th, and chose his white lacquer open arm chair with ash slabs and foam rubber, and Ben Seibel's buffet server with black wrought iron frame, porcelain containers and aluminum covers as sixth place tie.

on " o © MURPHY’'S ENGLISH walnut ‘and mahogany floor model radio was the seventh choice among consumers, moving up from eighth in the previous poll, and buyers listed Raymond C.

Sandin’s Hotpoint sink dishwasher in‘ white enamel with pull-out front as number seven. The only lamp selected among the top 10 Good Design items by consumers was the metal tripod floor lamp designed by Gilbert A. Watrous, which ranked eighth. Tied.for eighth place among buyers were Nelson's oak table with chrome finish, Ron Fidler’s lounge chair with black steel frame and saddle leather seat and back (previously second in the buyers group) and Ossia J, Arkus’ lounge chair and ottoman with rustproof black metal frame and three loose cushions.

u u » NUMBER NINE among consumers was the contour chaise longue of handwoven split oak on a solid oak frame, designed by Ed Stone, Ninth choice among buyers was a three-way tie: A sterling knife in contour design by John Van Koert, Wormley's upholstered chair and’ a small catch-all in steel frame and mesh by Sol Bloom. Fransiska Hosken designed the consumers’ 10th place choice, a group of four -knockdown square stacking stools in . natural, black, red and yellow. There was a 10-way tie for 10th place among buyers. Items selected were Wormley’s convertible sofa-bed with back and one arm (which previously ranked fourth among the buyer group), a chest cabinet with metal angle frame and varied colors by Charles Eames. Three Van Koert sterling contour designs for fork, salad fork and butter spreader, Margaret G. Dana's extension floor lamp in polished brass and white marble with straw shade, Finn Juhl's French walnut chair, Sol Bloom's four troughs of steel frame and mesh, a nest of three stacking tables designed by Richard Stambaugh, and a shrimp set of grainware and lucite designed by Charles McCrea.

Make Furniture

Balance Rooms When you're rearranging the furniture in your home, keep in mind these two major points. Light and heavy pieces should be so distributed that the rooms are balanced. Don’t line up all massive pieces in one area; all diminutive ones in another. Be careful, too, to keep. traffic lanes clear, so that it will not be necessary to detour around furniture in order to enter or exit in the most logical way.
