 And apples aren't all-every kind of fruit has become popular in just about every kind of form. whether it is china, glass or linen. Whether the fruits are natural or convention alized, all are gay and colorful.
 This spring brings heavy linen table cloths printed in fruit pat terms. They look as if the designer just threw all kinds of luscious fruits on the cloth and worked out the design wherever they fell-and the result is even more exciting than an orchard.
 The new fruit plates are interest ing, too, in many styles of china, earthenware and glass. They come eight or twelve to the set and each one has a different fruit on it. They are already popular and will be more so.
