UTILITY DESKS
LIKED BY WOMEN

A WOMAN'S desk is apt to be one of
two extremes. 1t is either too or
nate to look as though it were not used
at all. or else it forms a convenient re-
ceptacle for all sorts of rubbish.
1t Is very attractive to see a spindle
legged little piece of furniture opened
to display all sorts of Dresden china
dnery and a sheet of crested paper all
waiting for use, but when you see
elaborate writing utensils so spotess
and fragile there always arises a ques-
ton as to whether any real work Is
ever done at that desk.
AS usual thing a woman who owns
q plaything of that sort has an old
plotting pad for ordinary use, which
Is laid on her lap or on any convenient
receptacle.
The modern woman has too much
correspondence of a business nature
for accommodation in one of these toy
desks, and unless 1t is to carry out a
decorative scheme in her bedroom or
guest room for use only for small notes

by those of more businesslike proper
