Your Dining Room
BIZ Doris II. Jones


The dining room is essentially
a background, both for hostess and
for guests of varying personali-
ties. For this reason, simplicity
and dignity must be its predomin-
ant characteristics. In no other
room in the house, perhaps, does
color play such an important role,
that of introducing a decorative
note into room where the fur
nishings are usually restricted to
those with a definite function to
perform.
The dining room, firmly be-
lieve, should be room of cheer.
Wisdom in the creation of a pro-
per setting will have an effect up
on the enjoyment of family meals
and the success of dinner parties.
So, have your dining room light
and airy-light both with actual
sunshine and with that spurious
radiance created by the use of pro-
per colors.
One thing to remember in the
placing of candles on the dining
table is to see that they are high
enough so it is not necessary for
all conversation to "go through
fire." so to speak. You and I and
everyone has sat at dinner tables
where small candles, generally at
the corners, have come just to the
eye level of the guests, and speak
ing across the table, you have had
to talk through flame.
