1t is doubtful if the pres

there is a well-founded be-

Occasional Tables
Most Useful

BY occasional" tables we
don't mean that you use
them only occasionally. To
the contrary, they're some OF
the most useful as we'll as
decorative tables there are IN
any home.
The dictionary has two
definitions of the word "oc-
casional" that could we'll
apply to these tables. One
is "happening at intervals,
and that's exactly right for
occasional tables. They re
the kind you can place here
and there all through the
home.
The other definition is "of
or belonging to some special
OCCASION" And certainly
these tables do. They be-
long to the occasions-which
are many-when you settle
down to read and want a
table handy to hold a lamp
and cigarettes or candy. Or
to the occasions when a
group gathers round a table
for a few hours Of poker or
rummy or a round of sand
witches and coffee.
Most fashionable tables Of
this sort are definitely of
period styles, even though
we don't think Of them as
such. The popular gateleg
is one example. Probably
few people who buy this
good-looking, useful occa-
sional table remember when
they buy it that it has come
to us practically unchanged
from the day Of Oliver Crom-
we'll.
There are many other
styles with equally interest
ing historical ancestries.
Take the Mollie Pitcher table
named for the heroine of our
own Revolutionary War who .
took her husbands place at
the gun when he was SHOT.
It's a real American table
-one you can use just as
you would the gateleg-but
the legs are the graceful
Queen Anne type with club
foot. It's sketched at the
bottom of the column of pic
lures.
Smart in either walnut or
mahogany, it's a table espe-
cially useful in the living
room that's used as a dining
room, or the living room
where the size of the table
may need to be changed oc-
CaSionally.
The Duncan Phyfe sofa
table goes back to just after
the Revolution, when that
famous American designer
lived. This, as you know,
has a pedestal and drop
leaves which can be extended
to form a larger table when
needed. It's often shown in
crotch mahogany, one of the
most beautiful of woods.
The Sheraton table illus
trated has something of the
same lines and feeling and
goes back even a little
farther in the Eighteenth
Century than the Duncan
Phyfe-to England. This,
too, is an adequate substi-
tute for the gate-leg, if you
want something different.
The drum-top table shown
is a splendid lamp table and
has useful drawer space be-
sides. It belongs to the
Eighteenth Century in Eng
land and for a long time has
been available only in high
priced tables. Now, however,
it is being made at such
reasonable prices that it can
fit into most any furniture
budget.

Amideo Stango, former Water bury youth, is being detained in the Hartford county jail without bonds pending arraignment in the Jan- uary term of superior court in con- nection with the death of Patrol- man James McNamee of the Bristol police department in January, lS3O. Whether Stango will face the charge of murder in the first de- gree is a question to be decided by States Attorney Hugh Alcorn. Tn view of the fact that John Brophy, 19, also of this city con- fessed to having fired the shot which killed the officer and is now serving a life sentence, Stango may be arraigned on a less serious charge.
