The ne,c Yasha Heifefs line
Of hand-carped lamps is making
its debut in one of our local stores
At a preview party yesterday we
were charmed by beautiful figure
bases carved from mahoganies from
Honduras, Cuba, Guatemala and
ierazil. In creating the design and
models Mr.. Heifetz has conformed
the contours of each design to the
natural grain formation OF each
individual wood. He has recently
discovered an unusual and secret
process of combining, by ingrainlng
or impregnating, pigments OF one
wood into another. achieving ef1ects
that are most unusual.
The bases are fashioned entirely
by hand by foremost craftsmen and
require from IA to So separate hand
operations in the processes OF mn
ishing and polishing.
Figure subjects range from inter-
pretations of Russian and Spanish
dancers and graceful Chinese figz
urines to horses and fish.
Shades accompanying these lamps
are, for the most part, departures
from standard designs. Heavy nub-
by materials are used for the ex-
teriors. with raycn satin Innings
The trim, if any, depends entirely
on the base of the lamp.
Tenants of apartments that
are equipped with small bathrooms
are almost always complaining OF
the lack of shelf space therein
There are two neat ways to combat
this situation. The first is to invest
in rubberized tray that fits securely
on the top of the tank. Any color
Evening star., 1946-12-04

may be obtained to match the
scheme of the room. These mats
have several grooves in which to
fit glasses, jars or bottles. The other
way to combat the mo room situa-
ton is to purchase a lovely. mirror
back wall plaque. There are those
with two and some with three glass
trays and we could almost bet they
would accommodate all your neces-
sary cosmetics. To be more elaborate,
why not consider set of frosted
glass bottles that are gayly decorated
with What appear to be hand
painted floral designs. A set OF these
would surely give an orderly and
attractive appearance to the shelves.
Jasf the Christmas gift for
that man in your life. That is, If
he is an electric razor fan. A we'll
known electric razor manufacturer
now has on the market an electrical
wall holder for this shaver. 1t doesn' t
mean that you have to purchase a
whole new outfit either, for this rest
will fit the shaver he already has.
The unit is attached to the bath
room wall, serving as handy place
to keep the shaver. 1t automatically
turns the current on when the
shaver is picked up, and off when
shaving is finished. 1t contains a
reel of cord which pulls out to a
convenient length for shaving and
it can be reeled in at the touch OF
a button. Just attach it to any
handy electrical outlet. 1t can be
easily removed to another spot or
packed for travelling. Black or a
creamy white are the colors, IN
case you are interested.

should be used only on special occa-
sions when such protection Is par
ticularly important. Ordinarily 1t is
better to provide extra protection by
placing rubber square and q
folded diaper or square Of quilted
cotton on the bed under his but
tocks. Knit wool pants for this pur-
pose are better than waterproof
ones, as they permit more evapora-
tion. When a baby wears water
proof or absorbent pants over the
diaper the mother should be espe-
cially careful to change the diaper
as soon as it is wet or soiled.
The baby's shoes. When the baby
begins to stand he needs shoes with
firm soles. Shoes should always be
long enough, wide enough and deep
enough tat the toe) not to crowd
the baby's toes. Shoes when bought
should be about half inch longer
than the baby's foot and at least
one-fourth inch wider at the toes.
Notice the thickness of the baby's
toes and see that the shoes provide
ample space for them up and down.
This is very important: sometimes
shoes are correct in the shape Of the
sole and in length and width, but
are not high enough at the toe.
A baby will outgrow his shoes very
rapidly In the first year of life. Be
sure baby's shoes FIT-regardless of
how much wear" there is in them.
Outgrown shoes can cause perma-
nent harm. When the doctor gives
the baby a health examination ask
him whether the baby's shoes are
the right style and size.
just word on nightgowns. Win
ter nightgowns for a very young
baby may be made with a draw
string through the hem at the bot
tom. Such nightgown must be
long enough to come well below the
baby's feet so as to permit him to
kick. ANY soft material may be
used for nightgowns, such as cotton
or part-wool flannel. or, in warm
weather, thin white-cotton goods
such as batiste.
