(52) There is an 
ever increasing de¬ 
mand for attractive 
boxes. The one 
illustrated on an¬ 
other page is of 
painted tin and un¬ 
usually effective. It 
may be used for 
candy or crackers, is

bright design of 
roses and leaves on 
a cream ground. $5. 
(53) I found a 
lovely set of sheets 
and pillow cases in 
a shop renowned for 
the excellence of its 
linens and cottons. 
This set comprises 
one pair of 72" x 
108" sheets and one 
pair 22" x 36" pil¬ 
low cases of fine 
cotton, mono- 
grammed, laundered 
and boxed. The 
price complete is 
$23. With 90" x 
i08" sheets, $25.25. 
(54) Among the 
many electrical con¬ 
veniences is one that 
will appeal strongly 
to the motorist. It 
is a heater for the 
inside of the hood 
to keep the radiator 
and water jacket 
from freezing. It is strongly made of 
steel with a black enameled body and 
nickel plated ends. It is 7J4" long and 
3" in diameter. $5.00. 
(55) Another electrical appliance, suit¬ 
able for a small, kitchenless apartment 
is a lamp socket oven. This comes 14" 
x 14" x 13" and is large enough to roast 
a chicken, bake two loaves of bread, 
two pies, etc. It is made of steel, nickel 
trimmed, with the inside of white nickel. 
Copeland ware decorated 
with flowers and blue design. 
$16.50, $15, $12, $10 a doz. 
The cooking can be 
watched through a 
glass door, thus 
avoiding opening the 
door and losing 
heat. $28.

ing pair of andirons 
is illustrated on an¬ 
other page. They 
are of hammered 
iron with brass 
knobs and are 18)4"

luncheon set that 
has proved most 
practical, consists of 
a centerpiece, s i x 
plate doilies and six 
small doilies of oil¬ 
cloth with a smart, 
hand-painted design 
of gaily colored 
flowers on a gray or 
buff ground. It is 
$16 a set. 
(58) I found a 
lovely little French 
porcelain box, a 
modern reproduc¬ 
tion of an old piece. 
It would be a 
charming bibelot for 
a dressing table and 
is priced at $13.50. 
(59) A most use¬ 
ful and attractive 
lamp is shown at the 
bottom of another 
page. It is of wrought iron and gilt, 
adjustable, with a changeable rose taf¬ 
feta shade piped in American Beauty 
color. A practical lamp for almost any 
purpose. It is $28 and the shade is $18.
