"Did you get it? Did you get it?"

Jody flung herself at him, and

to keep her close to him. But she

hold her.

One of the features of modern
kitchens these days is the number
Of compact, Streamllned cabinets
included in the furnishings. These
cabinets, for the most part, follow
a unit design in both single and
double sizes, making the addition
of others an easy job.
The cabinet shown in the accom-
panying Illustration can be built in
several sizes without altering the
basic design. The size shown was
chosen because it can be made
cheaply out of single 12-foot length
of inch shelving and a 20X23 q
inch plywood panel a inch thick.
The material cost here should not
run much over 81.
In working out the measurements
the thickness of the wood was fig
ured at ,. of an inch. For shelving
slightly thicker small adjustments
in various dimensions can easily
be made. Width was figured at l1l2
inches, allowing just enough for
planning the edges of the doors and
fitting them.
No handles are shown on the
doors because they extend a full
inch below the bottom shelf, as do
the ends. furnishing a finger-hold
for opening and closing them. A
small friction catch set under the
shelf for each door will provide the
necessary fastening when the doors
are closed.
The three shelves, measuring
9 inches wide by 22l2 inches long,
are cut first. Have them exactly
the same length and cut the ends
square. The plywood panel is cut
next and then the ends. all according
to the measurements shown in the
illustration. Since the plywood panel
extends a half-inch beyond the
shelves at each end rabbeted ledge
must be cut in the rear edge of
each end piece.
This ledge, half-inch wide by
quarter-in deep, conceals the edges
of the panel and provides a place
for firm fastening. 1t can be cut
with a small rabbet plane or with
sharp chisel using a guide strip
clamped to the wood to determine
the depth. The upper and lower
edges of these end pieces are
rounded, as shown, with a plane
and sandpaper and are placed face
to face for the purpose of marking
the position of the hinges.

An especially shining example of

which introduced a new American
style last fall; Thrift House, deco
rated in the 18th century manner,
and Modern House. which combines
the double feature attraction of es-
pecially designed modern furniture
with bright ideas for spring decora-
ton.

Crisp, summery materials for slip
covers and curtains bring the clear,
fresh yellows, green's and white of

potted plants and vases of flowers.
In the Modern House, a coat of
turquoise paint on walls, ceiling and
woodwork surrounds the center of
the room like spring sky. A pearl
gray inoleum, soft in color as an
April cloud mass, makes neutral
background for the upholstery fab
RIGS of yellow and bisque. A plant
holder of white enameled iron is
employed for Over-mantel decora-
ton and the circular sofa is turned
to face the terrace instead of the
fireplace. In the dining room the
table is moved directly against the
window-which is hung with flower
printed draperies-and instead of
glass curtains, white iron plant hold
erS of graceful design run from bot
tom to top of the windows.
In Trend House, the living room
is done in white, green and mauve.
Nineteenth century style slip covers
of white glazed chintz, like the dra-
perieS, are Skirted with green muslin
to brighten the furniture-the main
group of which is arranged to face
the terrace. The rug, with heavy
fringe, is a lily of the valley pat
tern in green, white and watermelon.
In short, the metamorphosis of
these rooms from winter into spring
hinges around a decorative scheme
based on three P's: paint, prints
and plants. This trio can be count

Excessive Heat Shrinks
Interior Woodwork

Interior trim work, such as door
and window casing, shrinks under
dry, super heated condition which
prevails in many homes during win
ter months. If trim has been mi
tered at the corners, the early spring
will find an open joint at each of
these miters due to loss of width in
the cross section of the wood. One
way to prevent such openings is to
install all interior woodwork in a
bone-dry condition. Even then, the
material may absorb some moisture
during the construction process.
There is another means of pre-
venting the opening of miters-and
that is to eliminate miter cuts. This

By MARGARET NOVEL;,

This is the time of year that We
all yearn to be out of doors. and
the time taken out for the con-
sumption of food in a dining room
makes us miss the sunset and lose
one of the loveliest hours of the
day. There is no reason why any
of us should be inside when an out
door fireplace and terrace for al
fresco supperS may be so easily
arranged.
First of all is the location e.
and this is most important. Select
spot far enough away from the
house so that you cannot hear the
telephone-and far enough away
from your neighbors house so that

over for dinner. or make him COM

Next to that plan for comfort and

skeleton framework for your grill,
spend a Saturday afternoon with
bricks or stone and a little mortar
to brick it in, and have an outdoor
fireplace that will give you making
and broiling space, room to keep
the coffee hot and the smoke out
of your eyes . all at the same
time.
If you are a charcoal addict and
VOW a steak isn't a steak unless
broiled over charcoal. you will find
a fireplace especially designed for
the use of this fuel, and you may
prepare vegetables on top-steaks or

Portable Grills Available.
There are also portable grills on
wheels which are lots of fun in case
you do not care to give up the space
in your garden for fireplace. This
