1t can be used as a vestibule floor or
an ideal place as q decorative top on
a wrought-iron table.
Tile bands on fireplace openings,
picture tiles for childrens play rooms
and tile panels brilliantly designed
for wall decoration are only a few
Of the uses which may be found for
this versatile product.
As you probably know. tile is one
of the most ancient materials used
for decoration. The famed Roman
baths were almost entirely construct

1.-THE music, the good manners OF
the waiter. She had decided that he
had carelessly overlooked the flowers;
but not Keith. He never overlooked
things. Janet,s mods were coming al
most as reflex actions.
The waiter pussyfooted up to the
table and stood benevolently by, head
cooked solicjtously. Keith ordered the
most appropriate liquor in the most
ofhand manner.
Janet reverently lifted perfumed
cigarette from Keith's platinum case
proffered at the precise moment she
decided she needed a cigarette
Keith had an intuition about such
things.
He beamed at her as she puffed her
cigarette. and moved the aShtray to
just precisely the center of the table
Some instinct for geometry told him
where the precise center o. the table
was.
Then there was one of those ST.
lences while they slipped their liqueurs.
She waited almost breathlessly for him
to say it: Almost too perfect for
words, isn't it?"

phasis, 'the words right out of my

than ever. Such harmony of spirit
was gratifying. He'd gone to lot OF

We, the Fultons, do not want any games on our schedule that were played by the other team. If teams desire games with the bona fide Fultons. they are urged to see that Jim Morton is captain of the team and 1t will be the same team as last year.
