There never seems to be enough
space in the bathroom to hang

with only one small rack. However,
just the article to remedy this sit
uation is a five-bar towel stand that
has plenty of room for both bath
and guest towels. 1t is equipped with
rubber cups to prevent sliding 6.

On display in local store is a
wonderful collection of dolls, nearly
1000 strong. These dolls are i'm
ported from 100 different countries,
even though the international sit
uation has hampered the supply
from several others. Many of these,
such as Chinese, Korean and Per-
sian, come through governments and
missions, while others are made by
individuals. They have great edu-
cational value due to their authen-
ITCHY of costuming and racial fea-
lures. The American collection is
very interesting. There are over 20
different Indian tribes represented

include those made of Arkansas

hines. The "eatdDleS, as mucn as
possible, should conform to the spirit
of the occasion, both in shape and
in color. Sometimes shape is a bit
hard to achieve, but, generally, color
Is easily managed. For instance,
you might plan to serve tomato or
madrilene soup, in white cups, fol-
lowed by thin slices of rare roast
beef or pink ham, and a cooked
vegetable salad in which beets
predominate Or you might like
spaghetti dinner, with plenty of
tomato sauce, and end up with a
nodded frozen fruit salad for which
you will find the recipe below, and
the picture on this page.
Other suggestions include a color
ful pie, an ice creams Strawberries
and-angel-food dessert and a
recipe for delicious little heart
shaped cakes that you might choose
to accompany ice cream in fancy
molds ordered from the caterers.
Sandwiches should also be heart
shaped and filled with a variety of
reddish-hued spreads. If you have
cold meats and a salad choose an
accompanying relish that has
cranberry base for further color.
Any good fruit punch will take on
pink tinge if you color it with
little grenadine sirup, or add logon
berry juice. This may be too sweet
for your taste, so be sparing with
IT, And for alcoholic cock
tails serve those made of that de-
licious and healthful blend of sew

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Are there any rules and regu'a-
tions about placing beds in room?
My room has space for twin beds
against either of two walls. One
is an outside wall and the other
the wall to the right as you enter
the room. What are the pros and
cons?
R.H. F.
Answer-First and foremost are
personal wishes. If you do not like
the early morning sun in your eyes,
you might place your beds on the
outside wall where the light will not
strike right on your pillow the first
thing in the morning. If the closet
were on the far side of the beds,
and you placed them on the right
hand wall, you would have to walk
all around the foot of the bed to
get to it, which would be incon-
venient. 1t is most unusual to have
a room large enough to make this
choice, and the only rules I know are
those for convenience and comfort.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Would it be bad taste to mix
mahogany pieces of the Empire
period with some early Victorian
ones in my living room? They seem
to look we'll together.
AnsWer-No. Use them, by all
means. Each period is an outgrowth
of the one preceding it. and If 1t is
a good example of the period 1t is
still harmonious today.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I must purchase some new mat
tresses and also chairs for my living
room. Two members of my family
are allergic to feathers. which makes
it very difficult to make selections.
Do you know anything about the
foam rubber upholstery, and do you
think this would be wise selection?
Do you know whether the rubber
smells mulberry?
T. D. c.
Answer have no personal ex-
perience to call upon in this in
stance. but the foam rubber would
certainly solve the allergy problem.
I know it is very comfortable. does
not sag, and the fabric coverings
wear a long time because there is
no change in the understructure as
there is with spring cushions. Its
dustless, absolutely sanitary proper
ties are one of its best points, espe-
cially for mattresses. 1t does not
