Which Is More Important? Much more important are "do I honestly think this is pretty? "will it do the job I want it to?" and "is it easy to care for?" Don't get thrown off track by the various periods of furniture After all Miss Diamond stresses decoration on furniture is "just the icing on the cake Basic pieces in any stayle are designed to fill modern needs" Outside a bureau may resemble closely the kind that adorned the palace of Louis Fifteenth but chances are the inside is planned to accommodate such touches of modern living as your nylons or your husband's electric razor Versatility is one of the most important things to check before finally deciding upon a given piece Miss Diamond points out The trend now is toward function — whether you're referring to your living-dinin- g room or library-gueroom your versatile buffet which can double for ac hest or a credenza or your one set of glassware which is pretty enough for company practical enough for daily family use Some new fabrics that are ideally suited for these designs are: Skinner's deep lustre satin — all acetate rayon satin with a muted glow and Skinner's Danza the aristocrat of failles — rayon and wool skillfully combined for perfect crispness and y All to be had in a beautiful range of colors drap-abilit- QUALITY FABRIC CENTER side-panel- 16 16 s!

My friends tell me that due to my parents ideas I'll never get a husband Do you agree with them?— Matilda Answer: If by "old fashioned" you mean a home where God is revered the family gathers together once a day for the ritual of prayer and children are taught to obey the Ten Commandments the answer is emphatically no! Being reared in such a home may — in fact will — lessen a girl's chances of being popular with the "fast set" the tavern habitues the corner loiterers the promiscuous teensters without a principle in the world but it is the best foundation for a sound marriage In the home respect for authority was taught from the cradle The girl so brought up respected the authority of God her superiors in school her family Today that teaching is called "repressive'" and viewed with horror by the same people who deplore the increase of juvenile delin- J?"" witnout recognizing its true - By Charles Earle For shorter women — your own fashion designed just for vou!
