Famous Blend

To brew a really delicious bey-
erage-the kind that brings cheer
and joy and contentment TO It's
drinkers-of course one must use
high-grade coffee. The quality OF
raw coffee, the skillful blending
for several varieties are required to
produce a pleasing flavor-and then
expert roasting are all important
factors in acquiring really good cof-
fee. Approaching the importance Of
these factors, the II and II Coffee
Co., have devoted careful study to
them and the delightful flavor of
their famous II and II Blend is
eloquent testimony 10 their skill.
The inimitable flavor of delicious

mands the second cup. Indeed, the
secret to coffee success is Use II

Clever FiTtures

China closets-tricky little ones to
suspend on the wall or more commo-
dious ones built TO fit snugly into a
corner, in minimum floor space
are such attractive additions to any
home. And particularly so il they
are finished just like the other wood
work of the room and fitted with
glass doors to reveal the beauties Of
colorful china and glassware. Any
room can be made more attractive
by the addition Of one or more Of
these clever closets. And they're 50
easily acquired, too. For, these
days. it isn't necessary to have a
new home in order TO get convenient
built-in fixtures. Steves Sash and
Door Co., carry a complete stock Of
them on hand at all times-cup-
boards. kitchen cabinets, breakfast
nook furniture and ironing boards
that fold into the wall, dressing "a
bles, dozens of attractive fixtures
that can be easily and quickly in
stalled in any home. They are avail
able through any local lumber
dealer.

inviting Kitchen

never realized the possibilities
Of kitchen until Louise led me into
hers the other night. as "eating
time neared, to help her a bit.
Somehow one comes to regard a
kitchen as-well, just "the kitchen"
But hers is the most inviting-the
most attractive nook imaginable, in
which preparing food is n real pleas
ure. All the fixtures and woodwork
are enameled white--a smooth, even
finish that is beautiful. and not
only that-they're 50 easy TO keep
spotless. All one has to do is wipe
them. off with a damp cloth-and
presto, cleaning whiteness again.
Louise said she secured the splendid
enamel for her kitchen from the Fl.
f. HOLMAN Paint Co., at 210
Broadway, which is a most salts
factory place to buy. Their paints,
enamels and varnishes are highest
quality, they are helpful in suggest
ing ones individual needs-and al
ways friendly, courteous.

Eusu Ridln.g

In the midst Of our party revelry,
there came a most delightful sur
prise. "Buzz, buzz" went the door
bell, and who should be admitted
but dear old Bess and Frank, down
from Kerryilie.
Just couldn't stay away a day
longer" Bess exclaimed, land the
trip was glorious. We came in a
wonderful Red Ball sedan and such
easy riding. And too, the driver
was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In
fact. we enjoyed the trip tremend-
ously and nov we're going 10 look
forward 10 making these little runs
often. With such excellent service
as the Red Ball maintains, there's
no reason for not seeing one s

This same splendid Red Ball SER
vice is maintained 10 and from

Winter Time jog

Throughout Louise's house, though
the evening was chilly and several
windows were partly open, there
was pleasing warmth, even tempera-
ture in each room, and absolutely
no gas odor, though she had told
US they used gas for fuel. The Sc
cret Of this splendid heating is Glow
Gasteam radiators, each Of which is,
in itself, a complete steam heating
plant. The automatic control, with
which each radiator is equipped,
saves fuel, too - allowing just
enough gas to be burned TO maintain
the desired temperature. In fact,
Louise told me that these radiators
cost less than one cent per hour to
burn. A winter time joy, indeed, are
Glow Gasteam radiators, providing
clean, healthful, economical heat on
a few moments notice. Mr.. II. g..
Valance Jr., local manager OF the
Glow Gasteam Radiator Co., Of Tex
as, at 80 Builders Exchange Bldg,
will gladly give further information
about these splendid heaters. Just

Morning Room

Distinctive, indeed, is Martins
newly decorated morning room, its
neutral toned walls and pongee puff
window shades frightened by drap-
cries of gay chintz-big bouquets Of
pink and lavender roses on a
ground of China blue-with valances
and tie loops of blue taffeta. There's
a chair, slip-covered with the
chintz and a chaise lounge of blue
and old gold. Contrast is provided
in the tangerine shaded lamp and a
gentleman's chair upholstered in a
rich art modern brocade-spider
web design of tangerine and silver.
A solid black rug completes this in
teresting room, which was decorated
by the Hess Decorating Studio, at
1214 Main Ave-, whose work is al
ways characterized by quality mate
rails and excellent taste.

Ideal Choice

A Christmas present that is really
useful-that will cause the donor to

there must be beauty and quality,
too. And to meet these requirements
nothing is more appropriate for
every member Of the family than a
Royal typewriter. Simply and nc.
curately constructed Of quality mate
rails, it performs efficiently with
the least effort on the part Of the
operator. In fact. the Royal is so
light TO operate that writing is a
real pleasure. And the beauty Of
