MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO IS. ILLINOIS XV III— LAMPSHADE Doris Day, whose son is just reaching the “fix up my room” stage, is making an unusual lamp shade for an equally unusual lamp. Doris was able to find a globe five inches in diameter. She had this placed on an axis, and supported by a simple, brass base which was wired as a lamp. For months, she saved the envelopes in which her fan mail arrived, and then, during quiet moments on the set of “Young Man with a Horn,” she soaked off the stamps, allowed them to dry, then applied them to a plain paper lampshade. After the stamps dried, Doris gave the shade two coats of thin white shellac. XIX— COLLAPSIBLE TABLE Jerome Courtland, who lives in a California apartment, where compactness is the law of'the household, has been making collapsible tables for those of his friends who also live in apartments. He has found that, for a cliff-dweller, the most satisfactory way to entertain is to give buffet dinners. This method makes it imperative for the thoughtful host to have a number of small side tables available to guests. Materials needed: One frame 25" by 15" made of 2" x %" pine boards. One piece of plywood 25" by 15". One piece of round, 12%" long (a section of an old broomstick will do nicely). Two hinges. Two screen hooks. Four pieces of pine 2" x %" x 23" long (legs). Method: To match maple furniture, stain all the lumber with maple stain; to match dark furniture, give it a walnut stain; for modem apartments, simply varnish it. One foot from the end of each of the 23inch pieces of pine, bore a hole just large enough to accept the round brace. Hinge the two outside legs to the 25" by 15" frame. Glue the plywood on top of the frame. Install the two screen hooks on the two inner legs and install the hook eyes on the opposite side of the frame from the hinges. Coat the finished table with a clear varnish which is guaranteed to be waterproof and acid-repellent so that spilled liquid or food will cause no real damage. This table, when not in use, will fold and fit into a slim space. When in use, the four legs will stretch out in two x’s, and the top will flop over to be held rigid by the screen hooks. Useful gadget. XX— CHRISTMAS SPECIALS And finally, we feel that we should tell you about Cathy Downs’s year-around plan for simplifying Christmas. As you know all too well, one of the most frenzied of last-minute chores is usually the wrapping of gifts. This never happens to Cathy. All during the year, whenever she receives a parcel from a store, she checks it for convenient size and shape. Cathy keeps a stock of exotic Christmas paper. In her spare time, she covers her miscellaneous boxes with this paper. She measures off the proper length of contrasting ribbon and places it inside the box. Then, when ready to complete a Christmas gift, she simply places it in one of her ready-decorated containers, tying the waiting ribbons. As you must have noticed, the important fact about this collection of gifts is that each one is aimed directly to the person who is to receive it. You will find that your holiday will be infinitely happier, and the expressions of gratitude for your gifts will be much warmer, if you plan each present while bearing in mind the life habits and tastes of the person who is to receive it. And may this Christmas be the merriest The End Marilyn Hampton, beauty queen crowned “Miss College All-Star of 1949” says, “For soft lovely hands, use Italian Balm daily.” In winter especially, your hands need the extraprotection of Italian Balm.
