The new patterns in American din
derware are characterized by extreme
simplicity, with distinction gained
in unusual coloring effects. AS to
shapes, while some unusual designs
have been introduced-square plates,
especially, with a concave rounded
center are rather widely shown-on
the whole, the decided preference is
for the usual round type with some
interesting little variations. One
especially attractive design shown in
varied floral and other patterns has
a raised ribbed edge in a waved effect,
which is a pleasing variation from
unbroken roundness.
A particularly interesting and prac-
teal point in some of the new Ameri-
can dinnerware, found even in certain
of the inexpensive types, Is the use
of American ceramic colors, which
never become faded or wash off, and
which have exceptionally pleasing
color values.
Among this group is seen an un-
usually simple Iceland poppy design
which reproduces surprisingly q water
color effect and looks exactly as If
hand painted. Three flowers in rose,
lapis blue and green form a small
motif at the center of the plate, with
straight up and down stems extend
ing to the edge. This grouping is
the sole decoration. Another pattern
done in this ceramic coloring is a
sampler cross-stitch design, with

steaming teapots decorate the outer
circle of the plate. The coloring Of

Either powder room" or "lavette"

occupants of the house.
The '1avette" need not be large,
Indeed, space 81 feet wide by Az
feet long is ample to accommodate a
lavatory and a closet combination.
Special plumbing fixtures, incor-
porating the maximum of beauty and
efficiency with the minimum space
requirements, have been designed for
the first-floor wash room, says the
Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau.
A lavatory made particularly for
the f1rst-fioor wash room, while only
% inches long and Is inches wide,
yet has 98 square inches of unob-
structed space for toilet articles. This
eliminates the need for a separate
glass shelf. Towel bars are conven-
iently placed at the side of the
lavatory, which make separate bars
in the lavette unnecessary. Water
supply pipes are completely concealed.
An unused closet or a small room
under the stairs can be changed into
a useful and attractive wash room.

Reds Hold
The Communists, together with
the Socialists, are again in the
forefront Of the strike leadership
and of the revolutionary movement
as a whole.
The general strike was renewed
with unusual vigor everywhere. In
Malaga and Alicante the general
strike became powerful and firm
and in Madrid workers of every
trade, walters, street-cleaners, trans
portstion workers, all fought, street
by street, for the success of the
strike.
Against the mass upsurge Of
workers, soldiers and peasants. the
landing of 1000 Foreign Legion

ships into floating prisons of car

desperate gesture which would
finally avail nothing to all the
