Veneering Is
An Ancient Art

The fine art Of veneering,
practiced today on the more
costly and beautiful prod
ucts of modern manufac-
turers, is not a late inven-
tion. Indeed, as is pointed
out in a recent issue of
Good Furniture Magazine,
veneering dates back to the
early days of ancient Egypt,
and has always character
lied the furniture produced
by any nation in the flower
ing of its civilization.
Veneering was centuries
old even when King Tut
was born. A mural decora-
tion, dated 5000. B. G. and
discovered in the tomb of
Rekmara at Thebes, shows
in detail the forerunners of
all the veneering equipment
used by modern makers.
There is the gluc-pot over
the fire, the workman
planning down the base
wood, the bags of hot sand,
another workman laying the
strips-in short, the whole
story.

Almost every month some
thing new in furniture for
milady's comfort and con-
venience is brought out.
Dressing tables have come in
for their share of the de-
signers attention and some
very interesting improve
ments have been evolved.
A powder table is one Of
the latest things in dressing
room furniture. 1t is small
and compact yet with ade-
quate dresser space for all
the little jars and bottles Of
cosmetics and with mirror
just right for "making-up."
The pieces are small enough
to fit into any bedroom or
dressing room and it may
be seen in a variety of col
ors or in white.
A new device incorporated
in the skirted dressing table
is a tier of shelves. This
sounds a bit far-fetched at
first, but the wing device
on which the skirt swings
can be lifted back and there
are revealed not only the
drawer for the cosmetics and
toilet articles, but convenient-
~ arranged shelves for place
ing shoes.
These shelves are parallel
TO the short side of the
dressing table top and are
not thrust out where they
would interfere with a COM

Custards. Baked and Boiled

There are endless variations of the
custard theme and many of them
have been suggested previously.
The most common baked custard
served to children is favored with
vanilla or caramel. Chocolate
custard is also good. For varia-
ton use egg yolks or egg whites
only two of either to replace
whole egg, producing gold or sill
yer custards. Baked apple Gus
tards are good and golden junket
has the food value of a custard
without the necessity of lighting
your oven. And speaking of ovens,
all of these baked desserts can be
cooked just as well in the small
ovenetteS on top of the stove and
many OF them, especially Gus
tards, are good steamed in a
waterleSs cooker.
