Inside the whole world of color was waiting for me to give it form Impatiently I picked up one of the bottles — but my mother’s w'ords stopped me “Wait” she advised reasonably “until you’ve practiced a while Then you’ll really be able to appreciate this beautiful set” So she bought me an inexpensive set of paints from the store It had few colors and their tones were dull I played with it for a while then lost interest The incident was forgotten until I came across the d octagonal box in a closet several years later This time there was no one to stop me from opening the paint I expectantly removed the 11 -- year-old My five-and-di- dust-covere- cap from one of the bottles The contents had dried up I suppose I should have thrown the old box out Instead I’ve kept it as an important reminder that extravagant things should be used Otherwise the pleasure they can give dries up My neighbor extravagantly uses her lovely things daily Recently she received a handsome pottery milk pitcher as an anniversary gift I watched her unwrap the package rinse out the pitcher and immediately fill it with milk from a nearby carton “Now I’ll never have to put another ugly milk carton on my kitchen table” she said as she poured a glass d of milk for her And she means it She has learned the pleasure of using things she likes She explained to me that while polishing furniture may be a chore making a table shine— a table that one loves because of its shape or the beauty of the wood or for the family memories it revives— is a time to enjoy again the commonplace things around Uo that we too often take for granted in the rush of daily living My grandfather believed this too He was a poor man and his house was meagerly furnished Yet he extravagantly insisted that his tea be served in a thin bone-chin- a cup with a sterling silver spoon “It tastes better that way” he said Whenever I remember Grandpa I think of all the beautiful wedding presents and family heirlooms that are tucked away because they are “too good” to use every day It’s too bad more people have not learned to find daily pleasure in beautiful things After all if we don’t share our lovely possessions with our families who are the important people we are saving them for? three-year-ol- your most gala evenings— this glamorous romantic gown and gorgeous lace fur stole Gown has daring peek-a-bowaistband fully covered back long flowing skirt back luxury “Lambskin” a zipper Fashioned of easy-carnew miracle blend of nylon and acetate and yours in Blue as shown or in White or Black Stole corrrjs in Light or Dark Ranch and looks feels and drapes like the real thing!
