During the Golden Age of Rome—from about the time of Christ to about 350 A. D., the Roman glass-blowers made generous use of their art, making goblets, vases, cups, plates and bowls, which they decorated in color or made reasonably clear. It was in Rome about this time, too, that we begin to find the use of silver spoons—first in' re ligious ceremonies and then for use as a helpful tool in eat ing. The dinner fork and din ner knife did not actually make their appearance on the table until some time after 1700 A. D. And at about this same time a French Jesuit missionary in China discover ed a strange white clay which he called China-Clay—he sent it back to France where the first experiments were tried in making porcelain China. During the succeeding cen turies to the present time, the English, French, German, Dutch and Austrian peoples have competed in their ar tistry in products and design of porcelain china, while ex quisite Florentine glass prod ucts have been sought Climaxing the convention hostesses. iiiu nuiiwre was Ii-.ii.-iuuer- wm Luiiuiiue lur 10 weens . .1 , r, -i p m ‘ ApriI 23; TJ.

CALLING ALL HOME MAKERS^ By CHARLES BUICE HOW SHOULD YOU ARRANGE FURNITURE Here are some decorat ing tips: 1. Be sure your living room has one main center ter of inter est. ; 2. It’s usual ly a good idea to as semble some Uving room 1 tyrniture in groupings for conversation. Ih such a grouping, try to arrange for a table or surface area for the con venience of those using each chair. Such tables should be available to hold drinks, ash-trays, etc. 3. A successful room has both ‘ harmony and con trast. Use some colors and shapes that are similar and some that are not. 4. Arvoher thing to strive for is “balance”. Don’t place all your heavy pieces on one side or one end of the room. It would then appear top heavy. Height should be distributed. 5. Furniture should ser ve; it shouldn’t interfere. Don’t make the mistake so many people seem to make of letting furniture interfere with doors, windows and easy passage within a room and between rooms. And to get some specific furniture ideas for your home, come on h* and browse in our store. There’s absolutely no obli gation, and we’ll look for ward to helping you. See one of our experienc- ?d salesmen and let him tielp you at Maxwell Broth- 2rs Furniture, 204 N. Broad St., Clinton, or call us to day, 833-2628.
