living room and bedroom. With one
of these poudre stands and a hand
some day bed the room is right for
either use, and comfort and luxury
go hand in hand.
Unique and Inclusive.
The dressing stand is unique and
comprehensive. 1t may look just like
a fine table with fairly deep drawer,
nothing more. But instead of a drawer
being pulled out for the contents to be
found, the top of the table opens up
generally in three sections. There is
a large central leaf that raises and is
so fitted with extension hinges that 1t
can be held in an upright position.
The under part of this lid is a mirror.
The tops of the two side portions lift,
disclosing compartments for toilet ac-
cessories. The central portion may be
one large compartment or be sub
divided into small ones of varying
sizes and shapes. A complete toilet
set may be cleverly concealed in these
compartments, yet without using all
of them for some are needed for the
users accessories, such as hairpins
chains, jewelry, etc.
Magic Changes.
When the lids are down everything
is hidden. No one would suspect the
transformation the stands can undergo
in an instant. The vogue for these
fascinating pieces of furniture is
growing rapidly. Only a short time
ago they were counted among the an
tiques with occasional reproduction.
Today the poudre stands and the
dressing stands or tables can be had
in Spanish, Italian. French and Eng
hsh models, in reproductions, as well
as original pieces.

Looking for More Signs.

You'll often find this to be true.
The harder people seek for certain
things, apparently the less likely they
are to find them. Then, likely as not,
when they are not looking at all, they
stumble right over the things for
which they have searched. In other
words, many things are discovered
simply by accident

upset when he discovered that Chat

fashion. The rubble stone was cut
from a small quarry on the estate.
Aside from it's quaint outlines and
unusual construction this house owes
much of it's charm to its beautiful set

wooded, and the immediate vicinity of
the house has been transformed into
a luxuriant garden. The house itself
is half overgrown with vines, so
there is nothing to mar the happy
illusion of great age.
