BY FRANCESCA MCKINNEY.

OUR SCOUTS SUGGEST,
The newest silver candlesticks, of
simple but graceful lines, are
equipped with adjustable tops, so
that any size of candle will fit into
them. Much neater and easier than
the old twist-of-paper method.
A huntsman's household would
welcome the round bone china dish,
designed to hold cocktail olives,
cherries or onions, about whose lid
sly Reynard lies curled. The lids
may be had in red, black or yellow.
On each side of the dish a metal
bar holds six little spears, each
topped with an enameled hounds
head. -.
Useful and attractive gadgets are
the animal strike lighters. As these
come in wide assortment of ami
mails, you may place one on every
table in the house and still find no
duplicates.
For His Majesty, The Baby, there's
a silver tray, with Mother Goose
figures scampering across its sur
face. But the best of it is that the
tray may be clamped tightly to the
chair or table so that it cannot be
sent crashing to the floor by q
sweeping infantile arm. 80.
To be used in making cookies Cor
they may be eaten just like candy,
too are little nuggets Of semisweet
chocolate. Mixed into cookie bat
ter, these will not melt, so that when
the cakes emerge from the oven,
every one may enjoy the whole bits
Of crunchy chocolate. >.
A bar of music for a centerpiece
is something definitely new, and,
we may add, especially lovely. This
is made of lucite and glass, and is
so designed that each note on the
bar is a tiny vase which will hold
water and a few short rt-stemmed
flowers. There's an old-fashioned
garden gate along the same lines.
Dish towels have gone glamorous.
The prettiest seen in a long time
boasted appliqued figures, such as
a maid and butler at work in q
pantry; a waitress trying to handle
a stack of dishes Tin a fearsome
manner; a string Of gourds and
many other patterns.
Have you seen the Lazy Susans
made of mirror glass? They are
pretty enough to be used alone as
a centerpiece for the table, even
when there is no food to be set
on them at the time. The base is
so close to the table top that they
may be placed under bowls of flowers
II you wish.
To add dash of color to a room
there's nothing better than an ash
tray of Venetian blue glass with a rec
bird perched on the very edge.

breach and suggesting a Life Be-
gins in Forty" party.
The idea, of course, is takeoff
on Walter Pitkin's famous book of
encouragement to middle-agers. But
no matter what Mr.. Pitkin thought,
young people who are graduating
this year certainly realize that life,
for them, Is beginning in 1910. A
prom built around that theme Is
therefore natural"
It's not too early to begin plan
ming your decorations. They can
be simple and inexpensive, yet clever
and effective. Carry them out in
the senior class colors and make the
feature of the scheme large "40s" at
intervals all around the gymnasium
or hall.
For instance, festoons of crepe
paper In your chosen colors might
be draped from a center point in the
ceiling to the side walls, each one
terminating In a big 40" II you
are dancing in gymnasium, cover
the basket ball goals with more
numerals. And across the top Of
the orchestra platform, or on bal
cony, have a huge rolled diploma
tied with ribbons in the class colors
and bearing the words Life Begins
in 40"
You can carry out this idea as
elaborately as your budget will per-
NIT, depending, of course, on the
hall and what it requires in the way
of decoration. Generally, however,
we think it's good idea not to bite
of more than your decorating com.
mittee is able, or willing, to chew.
Young people are busy around the
end of the school year and there's
nothing more dismal than a compli-
Gated scheme that flops because the
committee Is too rushed to carry
1t out.
If you don't have much time or
money to spend on decorations it's
well to concentrate on the orcheS-
ira platform. Often by handling
1t effectively, you can ignore the
rest of the hall. And don't forget
the usefulness of ferns, greenery
and flowers banked in front of this
platform They are especially nice
for spring dance.
In case your junior-senior cele-
bration is just banquet without
any dancing the Life Begins in 40"
theme can easily be adapted to At
this type Of party. The same type
Of wall decorations can be used and
