A green and white note was ef fective in the dining room where luncheon was served buffet from a beautifully appointed table.

Small tables were placed through out the receiving rooms. Each was appointed in a pastel color and cen tered with a candle decorated with statice and matching maline bow at th base. Just before the guests were seated the candles were lighted revealing a butterfly bearing the message "A little more light on the subject—CarynMartin June 1951.” The honoree was presented a white corsage to wear with her out fit of navy faille suit, navy and white the reason two chairs that look alike sometimes vary so widely in price. You can check points like these yourself: Is all the finish the same color? Is the finish smooth to touch? Does the piece stand steady on the floor? Do caster! roll easily? Do drawers move smoothly and quietly? Are legs well braced? John Robert Powers Says . . • KEEP THAT WAISTLINE SUM Why is it that unwanted pounds always settle where they are most easily seen? One of their favorite show places at present is around the fashion-spotlighted midriff. Fortunately, without any effort at all, you can whittle away some of the extra waistline inches in many ways during your usual day. For example, you can make a point of never slumping down into your waist when you sit and of always pulling your rib cage out of your hips when you stand or walk. You can always take advantage of all the stretching you can get while doing household chores. A long reach up to a high shelf is as good as a short exercise down on the floor! If you must sit most of the day, take every opportunity to stretch your body. Just stand ; up with your feet ’ together and reach for the ceiling with both hands. Reach with your right hand until you feel a pull in your waist and then without relaxing, 'try to outreach your right hand with your left. However, these mild measures won’t puncture any real spare tire flowers made • pretty setting for cards. Mrs. Todd Hostess To A. R P.

The skins will come off quickly and easily. Get all the sand out of spinach by using warm water for washing it. Adding some salt to this first rinsing water, too, will help get the sand and dirt out more readily. Use a coarse grater for peeling carrots. This gets the peel off easily and quickly and helps save the vit amins and minerals buried right under the skin. The odor of turnips while cook ing can be greatly lessened if you add a teaspoonful of sugar to the water in which they’re boiled. Strings can be removed fr<£m green beans if you pour boiling wa ter over them for about five min utes after washing. Add the juice of a lemon or a few teaspoonfuls of vinegar to vegeta bles which have become wilted, and let them stand in cold water be fore cooking. To peel sweet potatoes without any waste, grease the skins before baking with lard. When baked, the skins slip off. Peel fresh pineapple without dif ficulty by slicing it into rings first. Then take each ring and run a par ing knife to remove the peel. Fried potatoes will brown easily and have that highly desired golden finish if you dust them very lightly Freni Nellie R.

BYRD KNEW REST VALUE That good bedding is necessary in prpviding restful sleep to keep men’s bodies and minds alert was recognized by Commander Byrd when he made preparations for his long-stay in the Antartic. He took as much time in the selection of the proper beding for his party as he did in choosing scientific instru ments and aeronautical equipment. ABC's of Decorating Good furniture is a long-term in vestment. Most of us hope that the chairs and tables we buy today will outlast our lifetime—perhaps even become heirlooms. Design and quality in furniture is a subject that has many buyers in the dark. In general, you should look for furniture that suits your own needs best. Measure the space you have to find w'hat size and shape will fit it best. And take your tape measure along when you go shopping. Furni ture always looks smaller in a store than it does in your home. Think in terms of separate pieces that look well together rather than investing in complete suites. Suites may include too many pieces or pieces that are too big for where you put them. If you buy each piece separately, you’ll end up only with what you need. Flexibility. How can the piece serve in different rooms now or later? Does it have any extra use? Does it team up with any other pieces to make a storage wall or extra-long sofa? Is the finish one that might blend with different color schemes? Is the style simple enough that you could mix the piece w’ith other furniture periods? Livability. You’ll want furniture htat’s handsome. But be sure it is sturdily built and will be easy to care for. Is the finish waterproof? How can the upholstery be cleaned? Will the upholstery catch or snag? Construction. This is often the hidden value of furniture—and is • Here are just two examples of tvhat we mean when we say that we combine quality, good looks, and savings when it comes to bedroom furniture.
