Old Touches

THE. interest in ship models goes on undated.
but newer. though similar. decorative note
is the Viking ship. in door knocker. or as an
ash receiver set on low iron base.
As up-to-the-minutc in interest are miniature
suits Of armor in antique tin. These hgures. usu-
ally about 5 inches in height. bring an early
English atmosphere into room. as they stand
on mans desk. bookshelf or bracket.
Silhoue.tes. not content with gracing our early
American walls and mantels in miniature form.
now give interest to parchment lamp shades and
mirrors where they are paired on either side OF

Waste baskets have achieved Cinderella
like experience. They have become slorihed
recipients of trash. They are painted inside.
and sometimes out. IN unusual co!ors. or have
a floral print applied on the outside. a hunting
scene. a French boudo;r print. Often these pic
lures are placed on backgrounds of glossy
black wallpaper with gold dot. red dotted
white paper, a green chambry paper shelacked.
or an alover tiny floral pattern. more geometr-
cal than realistic Ship models painted in sill

that pleasing note OF other days.
Never was there such interest in boxes. not

beauty Of the surface covering is merely a
mirror to your health. for good health is reflected
in skin which is delicate in texture beautifully
tinted and free from blemishcs.
The skin itself can be improved with care.
Ii must be kept immediately clean and this can
only be accomplished by what the beauty spe-

Be self-administered at home. right in the pri:;

NTEVER was there more fascinating variety

THE informal reception is one Of the most de-
lishtful Of social functions. and an affair
which make: its peculiar demands on the hostess.
because the buffet supper that usually attends
il must be smoothly and correctly served in spite
Of its seeming lack Of rigid form.
The dining table should be dressed with the
incest linen you have and the napkins folded and
placed at one end. The buffet will have the
reserve napkins. silver. plates and cups. The
table at no time should have cluttered appear
ance; to avoid this the maid will bring to the
person serving only sufficient portions tor those
then in the room. All the nicetes OF serving
must be understood by this maid: such as keep
ing salads cold.' having coffee hot. etc.
For an afternoon reception. the following
menu is not difficult Of preparation or service and
yet i is an attractive and appetlzng plate:
Chicken mousse. fruit salad. hot rolls, olive
canapc. sailed nuts.
This menu may or not as you choose. be fol-
lowed by second course. If you decide upon
the sweet course. let be something very easy

from a guest with one hand and in its stead.

be simple.
WHEN about six or eight people are in the
F" dining room. the maid should bring on an
attractive plate the chicken mousse. made to
serve ten or twelve. Next she should place at
the same end Of the table sufficient number
Of salad portions for the number present; this
may readily be arranged on large platter.
each portion on its own bed Of lettuce.
The canapes should be on the buffet and
are merely placed near the person serving. The
last to be brought in is the hot coffee for the
other end Of the table and the hot rolls for the
FIRST end. These may be buttered in the pantry
and save much confusion.

Ieriod Designs s1|zB
! Feature
The New Bookshelves

A black enameled set Of book shelves may
thus have the floor Of the shelves painted canary
or turquoise. A color scheme recently seen in
an exhibition Of modern at" pieces that were
practical as well as clever was dull blue wit,
silver edsinss on the frame. his IS dainty
scheme for the bedroom.
CTlLL another modern art" piece designed
for books has distinctive arrangement OF
shelves. Il is as II two boxes were placed with
just two corners touching. hus one set OF
shelves was higher on the wall. than those at the
connecting corner below. ;,
These modern pieces, by the way. are really
suggestions for the home craftsman handy with
wooden boxes. hammer and gypsy paint brush.
Still one more modern piece Of pleasing origi.
nality consisted Of book trough with legs only
! foot high. which made It easy. to reach from
a low easy chair. But the finishing touch Wa:
a pair Of torchieres-one fastened at each end
Of the low trough and standing high enough to
light the readers page. =,
Most book troughs. Of course. are in table
effect. Some are placed like consoles and end
tables beside davenport or easy chair. and others
are the lower shelf Of large library tables. Ma
hogany or walnut. du-rubbed. is the usual ilnish.
All these book holders are furniture. OF course.
that can be placed in the center OF the room.
One more piece which combines utility with
space for books is the secretary OF Queen Anne
design. This is desk. with drawers beneath
and closed book shelves above with charninsly
loaded glass doors.
The growing interest in good literature and in
home decoration seems to indicate that bookcases
and book shelves will become increasingly i'm
portant in American homes. And ordinary. un.
beautiful pieces Of furniture for this purpose will
no longer do.

Painted Tin
Is Enjoying a Revival
AS Decoration

THE: revival Of painted tin is one Of the new
est notes in ultra-modem decoration.
After the French Revolution. the poverty.
stricken people Of France. who still appreciated
art. could not buy costly ornaments in gold, sll-
YER and bronze. So the artists Of those days
began making urns. trays. baskets and many
other things Of paper mache and metal.
On solid, dull-color grounds they painted land
scapes and other decorations. Today. Paris IS
eyincinR new and active interest in these old
thinss-more particularly IN objects Of painted
tin. which are generally CLASSIFIED as ,tole. Ger
many and Italy. too. have their artists working
today in tole. and all the really antique tole has
suddenly taken on great value:
In America we are interested in tolc in grace
full square waste baskets. slopins toward the
bottom and with round metal feet: IN unusua!
fireplace hods with high handles: in urns and
cacbepots to hold flowers and to be placed
paired at the ends of the mantel or on dccora-
tive commode; in vessels Of bowl-like shape to
hold ferns on dining room or living room tables.
The same material IS found in tea trays on stands
or separate with architectural scenes OF quimper
figures Of peasants painted on them to be placed
against chimney breast in dining room or on
a side table; as desk-lamp bases and as smokers
bowls.
Fruit and flowers also now decorate these
objects Of painted tin. usually in tones Of deep
red, bottle green or black.
Particularly suitable are these ornaments tor
the home furnished in simple good taste. the home
into which French rustic furniture has been M
tsoduced or the small apartment where DiEec-
toire furniture predominates.
It minsles well with the Colonial settings. too:
Altogether the vogue Is deserved!y popular and
.corn should not Be attached to the use Of 50
humble metal as tin.
