~ ing several new and interesting
ideas featuring plastics in interior
decoration. Almost everything in the
setting is plastic =. except the girls,
of course. Furniture is covered with
the new 'Vinylite" plastic uphol-
stery material which is as durable
as 1t is attractive. And most impor-
tant to the homemaker is the fact
that light colors are no longer a lux
ury, for this versatile plastic can be
merely wiped clean with a damp
cloth. It's highly resistant to alcohol
and greases and is waterproof and
vermin-proof.
This same plastic, in a lighter
weight, also makes the draperies.
Two different colored films are used

by hanging them one in front of the
other. This gives an iridescent CLINT
to the shimmering material. No need
to worry if a sudden rain comes
through an open window; these cur
tains are waterproof anyway.
The lamp shades are news indeed
for they are made of the most mod
ern material combining "Vinylite"
resins and glass fibers. The textured
effect strikes a decorative note and
is serviceable, too, for it is easily
cleaned with soap and water.
Today's hostess and homemaker
will appreciate these plastic mate
riaIs. Their beautiful color, enduring
finish, resistance to water, abrasion,
and aging bring into reality the
theme Of functional and lasting
beauty.

Willie Wells was coming home

stern looking lady (visitor at the

him man his size could be better

Willie tells her off real good

Willie, laughing out loud, she

Time and Change

Twin brothers, 25-years-old, were
marooned by a freeze-in at the
North Pole. Each day for exercise
the two ran in circles in opposite
directions around the pole.
Now it is well known that each
time a traveller circles the pole he
loses or gains a day when he
crosses the international date line.
When the expedition finally re-
turned to this country, one of the
twin brothers had long beard and
was carrying his baby brother in
his arms.
