In fact one manufac­ turer's ad reproduced in Mr. lissmbn's book refers to their product as "EXTRA SAD IRONS." The company was Bless and Drake, Newark, N.J., the date 1867. Here again, as usual, no explanation, just the simple explanation that they were being made and were available for sale. All we can do is guess at the meaning. Perhaps their irons, were extra heavy and the pre- women's lib ladies who had to use them to iron pop's shirts were extra sad because the character of the time made this their inevitable lot and the "extra sad" iron being heavier just made things worse Mr. Glissman, being a thorough man, as one can see from his book, tried to find the origin of the term "sad" as ap­ plied to pressing irons. He got what seems the best answer from R.K. Blumenau at Malvern College, Worcester, England, who advised that one obsolete meaning of the word was "solid, dense, compact, massive, heavy and firmly fixed." those interviewed consider it essential.

Finishing Touches Are Important "It 's the trifles that make perfection," said the great Michaelangelo, "but perfec­ tion is no* trifle." Finishing furniture may seem a trifle in terms of total construction, but to the de­ signer and furniture manufac­ turer. the color, depth and other elements of finishing are as important and vital as any other phase of production. In addition to painted finish colors (blues, reds, white, yel­ lows . . . all colors) there are literally thousands of wood tone colors. Each has been carefully developed for a par­ ticular design'. stains are meticulously plan­ ned. Although the wood is sanded many times during as­ sembly, it is again sanded clean and smooth when con­ struction is complete. The most simple finish re­ quires at least 13 separate op­ erations, and the average fin­ ish today requires 22 and 23 steps. One manufacturer of 18th century reproductions has developed a technique to reproduce the mellowed patina of antiques. This has never been possible before except with the aging process of time about two hundred years The popular antique and of time. The specialized finish distressed finishes are so well takes no less than 28 separate designed that marks and steps, many by hand. Today's sophisticated teen­ agers are expressing their opinions, tastes, and prefer­ ences with more enthusiasm and conviction than any pre­ vious "younger generation." And the "grown-up world" of merchandising is listening. Southern furniture-makers have produced new collections of girls' room furniture that will strike a responsive chord in today's vibrant, eager- for-something-different teen­ ager. Mexico was the inspiration for the designs and colors in the collection of one manufac­ turer. Everything, even the scaling, is different from any­ thing designed for young peo­ ple before. Unrestrained color for the hearts tuned to its spe­ cial magic is achieved through the use of a warm shade of crimson accented by tiny stripings of mustard and green. One basic unit that can be applied in a variety of ways is a vanity table. It can stand alone, or be put to extra use by adding a box of drawers and tilt mirror. Without the vanity box, the basic unit can be used as a table or desk, making it adaptable to indi­ vidual teen-age needs. But once you've installed it in your daughter's bedroom, it might be wise to nail it down. Otherwise, it might keep popping up in the most unex­ pected places -- hallways, liv­ ing rooms, or dining rooms. The imaginative homemaker will find she can't resist using it as an unanticipated accent in anv room she pleases. There have been puppet shows in America ever since the time of the Pilgrims.
