Once Hidden in Closets,
Card Table Sallies Forth

The folding card table,
hitherto a homefurnishings
skeleton" to be hidden away
in the closet after the game,
today stands proudly on its
own four legs as a decorative
asset.
In family rooms"-more
and more employed as second
living rooms-as well as in the
dining foyer or in the living
room itself, newer designed
card tables are considered in
dispensable for both adjunct
table space and eye appeal.
With built-in features to
assist the ingenuity of the
homemaker, many of these
pieces belong in the "iack-of-
all trades" class for serving the
expanded needs of modern
family life. Some, for instance,
are equipped with flop"
tops, which double their
surface capacity so as to seat
eight for comfortable dining.
Others tilt into a type of
decorative screen when not
employed for cards or dining.
Another, with follower top,
can halve its surface to be-
come a hall console table. One,

Cleric Says Nation
Sometimes Must
Sacrifice Ideals

Christian ideals cannot be
applied to national problems of
the United States in terms of
absolute rights or absolute
wrongs, the minister of the
Episcopal Church of the Epiph-
any said yesterday.
The Rev. Charles D. Kean
said, however, that "a political
and economic life pursued with
out reference to religious stand
ards is at the best impersonal
and mechanistic and at worst
cynical and destructive.
At the same time, he noted,
"a religious faith distracted
from the political, economic and
social world in which people live
and breathe and make decisions
is at best sentimentality."
With particular national prob
lens to face and particular ma
tional responsibilities to fulfill,
1t is not a question of making
perfect choices in the abstract, "
Mr.. Kean said, but rather of
making the best practical polit-
ical and economic decisions
that seem possible in the light
of the circumstances as we
understand them"
