Those wonderful upholstery fabrics that look chic, wipe clean with a damp cloth and wear and wear without showing? it in the least are a true delight to every woman. J

Used for modern, functional pieces that serve more than one purpose in the home, they become absolutely indispensable. In just one instance, a handsome lounge chair with fingertip con> trol (right) converts quickly to five different comfort positions. It becomes, in turn, a platform rocker. TV lounger. TV rocker and a full bed recliner. You really couldn't ask for much more, could you? And especially when National Furniture has covered it with Vileau vinyl fabric in a rich leathergrain pattern. No trouble, no work, no worries. This same vinyl fabric has.been used for a sleep couch (above) which converts readily to a double bed. Such a couch is a necessity in most modern homes, what with a shortage of guest rooms and an influx of summer visitors. One of the newest patterns in Vileau is a contemporary houndstooth in a medium scale black Sttern which comes in five basic ckground colors: white, tan, olive, crimson and nugget. Another new pattern is an elegant damask design of medium
