BEAUTY QUADRUPLED—Reed and Barton's “Florentine Lace,” Royal Doulton’s bone china, Fos-

toria stemware and Kaye Walt place mats team up to make an eye-appealing table setting.

New Table Setting Plan Listed

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE

Ss ., Times Homes Editor [HAT are the table setting staples? * There are four of them—china, glass, cloth coverings and silver.

When these are correlated so they can

be used successfully together at a dinner party, the result is news to the homemaker. A current trend in home furnishings, it makes her shopping easier, party-giving a breeze. Four of the most prominent firms in the table setting field have joined to do this very thing. They are Reed and Barton, foremost silver house; Royal Doulton china; Fostoria stemware, and Kaye Walt table coverings. The “team,” a winner, for sure, will be reproduced by Charles Mayer and Co. in a group of table settings beginning tomorrow through the week. The tables are similar to those done hy House Beautiful in its April issue. wo GP

HEIRLOOMS OF the future, all the ingredients are convertible. That's a characteristic

of fine things; they're at home anywhere, anytime, in any company. Take, for instance, Reed and Barton's Florentine Lace. For the first time in the history of silverware, a flatware pattern. won the Fashion Academy Gold Medal Award. The pierced sterling design, brought out last fall, this year received the honor “for its distinctive design and excellent fashion styling.” ’ So great was its influence, an American lace, couturier fashion designs by Jacques Fath and Jane Derby and jewelry all were designed in its wake. ge 0 o> ANY ROYAL DOULTON pattern will stand the test; so will Fostoria’s functional glassware. A leader everywhere in America, cotton table coverings are “correct” around the clock. Even place mats, “squared or rounded” are right for any but the really formal times. What's the secret of keeping fine things in good condition? The answer is use. Glassware sparkles with it; china glistens; cotton cloths renew their texture, adding “quality” to their lustre. In sterling it’s the most important step in keeping it perfect, on call at any moment.

Urge Gentle Big Gardening Push Is Sef

Raking of Your Lawn

MOST lawns look pretty moth-eaten come spring. If yours Is among them, don’t defeat your own purpose with an over-eager attack upon the poor thing. If your lawn needs raking, do it gently. Don’t uproot the grass you already have. Some litter such as dead crabgrass, says one grass specialist, will actually help protect your newly started good grass. And don’t worry about the crabgrass seeds. For they've alréady fallen into the ground, where they'll do the most damage later on. i Most lawns do need rolling. Rut don't take a four-ton trucktype roller out onto your suffering sod and expect good results. Go easy. ! ” 2 =» A LIGHT ROLLER will firm_ winter-heaved roots back into place. And it won't pack the ground so all the air is squeezed out, leaving the grass roots completely breathless. Where humps and hollow spots need leveling, experienced lawn makers do some grading. Easy way—lift good turf off, fill in underneath with really good soil, lay turf back on. Roll lightly to firm into place.

To Begin Next

Month

GET READY to plant. It's almost April. And everything but the really tender garden seeds and plants

can be seeded by midmonth.

This week forsythia is coming out. As soon as blos-

soms are gone, you'll have the best time for pruning it. Cut dead or oldest branches out at ground level. Tip extra-long growth back. But don’t, don’t give it a crew haircut. Earliest daffies are timidly opening. As soon as flowers fade, snip them off and sprinkle some bulb (or general) fertillizer around the beds or rows. That helps the leaf factories do a better pre-packaging job

If your daffodils are chronic non - bloomers that put up healthy foliage year after year, could be they need more sun as well as better balanced plant food. If so, dig them as sobn as you can with a chunk of earth around each bulb. Heel them in sun until leaves yellow. Then either replant right away or dry and store them until late July. n ” ” ® GRASS 1S greening up fast. Beware of - letting chemical fertilizer stand on lawns. Better hose it in right after application so it doesn’t burn. A googvymany lawns have been rolled (unfortunately) while

the ground was sodden with water. Grass roots must have air. If you squeeze all the air pockets flat with a heavy roller on wet soil purpose. Peony shoots are beginning to show. And this is the time to do something about that blight that keeps. buds from opening, sometimes wilts mew growth. Spray with any fungicide now to protect those new shoots. Be sure to clean up old dead tops right away. Strawberry plants may need attention. Especially if they didn’t have a winter mulch over them. Quick spring temperature changes. heave them right out of the ground. Then good-bye strawberry plant. Step on adventurous plants to get them back into ground. Spread mulch now if you didn't do it earlier. It will serve a good purpose during summer, keeping moisture in, and berries clean.

Keep Water Off Floors

N° MATTER how much the housewife smiles in the floor wax ads, keep-

ing floors gleaming is no picnic. But there will be lots more time for picnics and parties if you follow the advice of professional floor men in caring for your floors. Once hardwood floors have been thoroughly cleaned and waxed, daily dusting with an untreated dust mop is all the care they neéd. The important thing to remember is: . Never use =zoap and water to clean wood floors. Soap and water will injure both the finish and the wood and sometimes

. even cause the floors to huckle.

‘Then he went in to breakfast. His wife, noting a mysteriously gleeful prebreakfast expression, asked how-come. “Since when do our birds feel they have to pay for their feed”? he asked, and displayed what he’d found in one of the feeders. It was a dusty but definitely mint-worthy nickel. Now they're pondering how it got there. Hubby declares he’d have seen it if he'd had it in the feed the day before. So they're giving Mr. Blue Jay credit. < o> & 2» GREEN GLADIOLUS may sound like nothing at all, But the gray and lavenderish tints on these small fragrant flowers make them pretty special. Imagine such flowers growing wild. They are species glads brought from South Africa by Dr. W, P. Morgan of Indiana Central some years bach when he was hybridjzing. His aim was toward a fragrant winter-blooming greenhouse type of glad. That was in the days before Florida's big glad fields and quick transportation made market competition out of the question. He still raises a few of the dainty flowers out in Elder Bros. greenhouse. And maybe some day an enterprising local florist may bring them to public attention. Then who knows, they might become quite the style. “oa >

SHORT ROWS: It really gets me down. Some many years ago we began seeding tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts in place— just to save time, Now comes an announcement in an Ag. journal that scientists have ‘discovered” the method works. Ah, me. 1 wonder why gardeners don’t do more mixing of seeds in rows? It's long been customary to sow radish seed with beets, lettuce or carrots. Partly to let the tough little radish seed leaves break up hard soil for the more delicate seedlings. But an even more useful three-way combination might be lettuce, radishes and spinach. Then they'd all be better spaced in rows, Spinach and radishes come out quickly, leaving lettuce to stand as long as useful.
