NeW Gateleg
 Tables

CMALL homes, small rooms = @ these are the latest considera- tions of furniture builders. For the compact living room or dining, room, there has been achieved a gateleg table quite similar to the ones we have always known BUT this table is an extension. You can purchase as many leaves as you desire and open your taBle into banquet size when the occa- sion demands. Ordinarily the gate leg table has but two drop leaves which are raised to give the top the proportions of a dinner table. These leaves appear on the exten- sion gateleg table and are raised in the same way. The new kind of table opens at the center of it's top surface and is drawn out on runners which appear beneath. Extra table leaves are placed in, the open space.
 The only difference noted in the proportions of the extension and the regulation gateleg table is the depth oi the top when the table is closed and the side leaves dropped. The extension gateleg cannot be made less deep than IS inches, whereas the regulation gateleg table can be found in sizes from 2 inches to 20 inches across the top when the table is closed and folded.

.~ ~ NLY once did Kitty glance 3 backward as she walked
 from the tenement early Thursday afternoon. There was St tightening of her heart, a little ,e sensation of panic creeping grad = ually through her soul.
 But she dared not speculate. She 'i' had promised Preston that she | would go with him. Three o'clock I' was the hour. And here she was, her small grip in hand, walking q a-briskly up the shabby little street quite as if she were on her way to the studio.
 4 At the corner she hailed taxi. Her spirits heightened as each block rolled behind her. She hoped Howard would he on time. Her thoughts were mcze of con- fusion punctuated by sensations of ebbing calm.
 AA0 loAA swung tAIo P@Ih dI Ch0 side of the station. Before Kitty quite realized that her, greatest hour was at hand, she was making her way through the crowds of people in the spacious station.
 The waiting room loomed in the distance. She caught her breath and looked about for an instant.

Putting the House in Order

more cosey by having the curtains touched with color. These decorations need not be expensive. Tn fact, one of the most effective draperies is made of plain, un- bleached smuslin with a border of appliqued cretonne. The cretonne motifs are cut from the fabric and stitched to the muslin in clusters.
 Avoid the use of many pictures as these detract from the spacious ness of any room. Pictures should be gauged in size to meet the re- quirements of the space where they are hung. A large picture hung in space which IS too small for the proportion of the frame will lend a cumbersome, ungraceful appear ance to the wall.
 Flowers offer a cheerful note to the room which has a tendency to sombreness. Gay, colorful bouquets of wildfowers or the pussywillows which bloom in the Autumn add a decorative note to a shelf, a table or an odd stand. Any number of at tractive vases are to be had, but one should take care not to select a vase so colorful that 1t will de- tract from the hue of the natural flowers.
 To brighten up dark spot, q vivid ash tray, book-ends, table runner or fern bowl are excellent additions. The art department of your fayorite shop offers any num- Der of lovely things of this char acter so that the housewife will have no difficulty in finding new and interesting bits of decoration with which to freshen up the house for the new season.

"My Cookbook at this! Read whats happenedl can't believe ss it-l can't" Preston cried. v, Then her eyes fastened themselves eoon a familiar figure. It was Pres ton, looking more handsome than ever, his dark eyes darting search ,.lngly through the crowd. When he as caught sight of her his taut features relaxed. One hand covered the
 fingers she extended with gentle .n pressure of assurance.
 Are you ready to go, dearest?" he inquired smilingly.
 <. with you dear, anywhere" Y Kitty returned. .s "I love you for that-and more than ever. I've had a fearful twenty-four hours. It seemed like
 year. But let us sit down over here and talk things over"
 He guided her across the marble Q. waiting room to secluded bench j where only little old lady was seated. Preston stopped to buy , some magazines and a beautiful, -' decorated container of chocolates
 for Kitty.

 Do you suppose I'm so absent = minded about really important

 She looked up at him with s-widened eyes.

 A dreadrul sense of panic seized

Figure B appears to be much longer than Figure A. Actually the straight line Is the same length in both figures, as are the arrow an gles equal in relation to each other.
 By applying this same principle to clothing the figure can appart ently be heightened or shortened at will. If you wish to appear shorter, arrange the trimmings on dresses so that the edges at top and bottom lead towards the center of the gown. If you wish to appear taller, develop the lines of the dress so that they all run down towards the feet. An uneven hem. pointed, scalloped. rippled or with panels that hang uneveniy that will break the straight line of an ordinary hem will, apparently, add several inches in height to the figure.

Showersfor the Bride

WHEN planning the bridal w shower do not forget that the bride will require some of the more utilitarian articles as well as those fine bits of lace and linen for her dining room.
 One bride writes to tell us that she found one yof her shower" packages of true value when she began to keep house. The pack ago contained number of neatly hemmed squares of cheesecloth. One square was marked for dust ing,e another for polishing" and another s.cIeaning.' There were a number of smaller cloths for "dish- washing" and square of the ab. sorbent material for 1nopping up a wet table.
 The woman who has begun to establish new home can appre- ciate the value of having these util- ity cloths all ready for use, for these are the little housekeeping equipments which are usually for- gotten until needed.

Do Your Children
 Help?

sTTHE busy mother will ind even
 \ her younger children an sz- celleut help around the house with out imposing the burden of work on them, if she makes work game.
 One clever little mother found three restless kiddIes wanting to help her with the homework but hindering by their awkwardness. She conceived the plan of allow ing the children to wash the porch and this she turned into a delight full recreation for them. The chil- dren got into their bathing suits and then mother gave the hose to the eldest child. The two youngsters played about in the cooling puddles of water while their sister sprayed the hose about. Porch furniture and floor received it's weekly cleansing without mothers attention. And three happy kids claim to have had 2 delightful time.
 A kitchen which has a linoleum or tile floor can be mopped by the children by the same method. Mother should stand by to see that too much water is not spilled about. Mops can be dipped into . pail and drawn over the floor by the children who can be taught to look upon the task as a game rather than the laborious work it really becomes when mother alone has to perform this task.
