can safely stand a lamp on it just

Muffin Stand Versatile
If you're one of those charming
ladies who's at her best when she's
entertaining guests, you'll find much
use for a muffin stand. Fine for
serving tea because it can be drawn
up by your chair to hold extra
sandwiches and things.
Other times it's used as a table
for ash trays and cigarets. Or it
will fill a bare corner Smartly when
it holds quaint bric-a-brac of deco
rative type. Lots of uses for this
piece.
A folding luggage rack is luxury
more homes are getting.
One that has a removable tray
top is best. for then it serves many
purposes.
The stand with the tray makes a

it's practical stand to rest luggage

Mirrors Always Good
Some of the most attractive we
have seen are of satinwood with a
tray adorned with hand-painted
decorations.
But maybe your bare spots are
on the wall. Especially if the
room is small, nothing will add to
its attractiveness more than a
mirror hung over the mantel or
the large table. That help make
the room seem larger, too.
If your walls already have enough
mirrors, here's an idea; a wall
rack! 1t makes a space for more
books or decorative bric-a-b rac.
Quaint animals or interesting fig
ures are fine for this purpose.

NezU Dishes
GiUe Charm
to YnIetide
BY SISTER MARY
NFA Service Writer

New dishes for Christmas week
help to spread the holiday spirit
over a little longer time. Hospi-
tally comes into its own during the
holidays, and while the entertain
ing should not be elaborate, it
must be interesting and satisfying.
A supper is a delightful and in
formal way to entertain the friends
of the family. Since suppers often
seem best when served buffet fash
ion, the hostess without a maid will
find them the easiest of parties to
manage.
One hot dish with reliShes and
sandwiches or rolls, a dessert and a
beverage provide an adequate
menu. Make the table as festive
as you can with Christmas greens
and red or green candles.
Dreamed shrimps in bread cups,
homemade pickles, celery, an ice,
cookies and coffee or cocoa would
make a substantial, inexpensive
supper to serve. Any creamed
mixture is good served in the bread
cups.

Ne7U Years
FrOCkS Are
Fetching
BY RosETTE HARGROVE,


MA GcFNltt NNiNNN
PARIS, Dec. "a. - Invitations to
yuletide parties bring dreams of
lovely party frocks to young girls
all over the world.
What they wear to dance the old
year out and the new year in is
quite as important to them as the
fact that they are dancing.
The debutante's evening gown
IS invariably moderately decollete.
The skirt can be ankle length, or,
for some styles, down to the
ground, but it never boasts Of a
train.
Slim Waist Clearly Defined
The tops of the arms are often
yelled, but the slimness Of the waist,
one of the most attractive features
of the young figure, is clearly de-
fined. Here are no thicknesses to
mask as so often are seen in even
the young woman.
Sweet seventeen or eighteen, on
the other hand, can afford to select
the most picturesque styles and
still not look like a masquerade or
a retrospective portrait Of herself.
She can indulge in puff sleeves, in
mittens, in stiff little, basques, or
again, if she wants to acquire an
air or sophistication, the aim of
only the very young, she can
choose a semi-clinging sheath
dress that just hints at her supple,
1.-the lines.
Pastels Are Good
Years ago, the first ball dress
was invariably white, but this Gus
tom has died out. All the pastel
shades are permissible and this sea-
son several red dresses were offered
for the debutante, mostly in that
light but very bright vermillion
shade.
The other fashionable shades are
roseleaf pink, pale yellow and vari-
Gus tones Of light blue.
Because of a limited dress al
lowance, most jeune file frocks
are fashioned of the less luxurious
fabrics, such as georgette, taffetas,
crepe ROMAN and crepe de chine.
For every special occasion, how
ever, velvet and satin are reserved.
Many of the couturiers are
showing combination" dresses that
can serve for both dinner and dane
ing.
The evening wrap for the de-
butante should be sparsely fur
trimmed. Huge fur collars are
not only questionable, but insult
able, and scarf effects at the neck,
bordered or not with real fur,
achieve an air of quiet elegance
suited to the youthfulness of the
wearer.
BOlerOs Also Suitable
Short, fitted ermine boleros or
equally short basqued jackets are
an alternative if the exchequer war
rants such an expenditure, but any
girl will probably prefer two or three
of the new velvet evening wraps to
an only one. even though it be of
ermine.
Hip-length or three quarter
length are the most useful and
popular type of coat.
Generously pulled sleeves caught
into a tight wristband, dolman-
shaped top giving the fashioned
width of shoulders with the fullness
caught into a fitted basque, is a
style well suited to the young girl.
A scarf of the velvet or of fur
tied in bow at the side fastening
will give the finished look so appre-
ciated by the discerning young these
days.
