Who Wants to Go Back to The 'Good Old Days?' Duncan Phyfe Never Had It So Good Every once in a while you hear someone say they lone for the "good old days." Not so the American housewife with savvy. She understands that furniture and other home furnishings currently available to her in retail furniture stores is better styled and better made than their counterparts were even a generation ago. And as for the "good old days," if they ever did exist, Duncan Phyffe just never had it so good. Quietly, and without the fanfare that accompanies each new "widget" or flash of chrome on new automobiles, the furniture industry through use of advanced new materials and because of modern, efficient new factories with tools and machinery old time cabinetmakers never even dreamed of, is producing great quantities of furniture destined to become the heirlooms of tomorrow. Many of the world's top designers, architects, and even sculptors and artists have helped create today's furniture for American households. The furniture industry has increasingly turned to the service of professional designers and America's top artistic talent to make the finest examples of furniture in the world today. This furniture is being increasingly accepted in world markets Some of the features you can easily check are the durable alcohol and cigarette-resistant finishes, non-tarnishable brass and other metal finishes for hardware, drawersopening smoothly on nonstick center drawer guides, durable plastic table surfaces and beautifully finished, functionally partitioned drawers and re-arrangeable shelves. Improvements in coverings for upholstered furniture are readily seen because they are on the outside. But they are matched by construction improvements that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Family Photos Dress Walls Modern interior decorating schemes often borrow from the past. Period furniture is reproduced with a contemporary flavor; colors mimic those which were popular centuries ago; even the choice and display of room accessories relies heavily on the styles of yesterday. Portrait photographs--taken by a professional photographer in either direct color or black and white -- are the modern counterpart of oil portrait paintings by the art masters of the past. Modern . homemakers can put favorite portrait photographs to good decorating use, just as their ancestors proudly displayed cherished portraits in oils. There are no hard-and-fast rules for decorating with portraits. Most any room is right for these photographs; just about any arrangement will do. The only firm guideline is one which applies to all room accessories: portrait photographs should blend with the rest of the decor. If formality is the keynote of the room, then the portraits should be treated formally also. However, if a more casual style has been used to decorate, then the portrait photographs might be framed or mounted in an informal or simple manner. Where on the wall should a portrait hang? The best setting possible is the natural answer. Often a favorite photograph will look well when centered over a couch in the living room or above a buffet or chest in the hallway. However, an offcenter arrangement with other accessories for counter-balance might prove more interesting. The gallery look with many portrait photographs in one arrangement can bring extra charm to a room. Before hanging the portrsflts, plan the effect desired, by working with paper patterns in the size of the framed photographs. USE THE CLASSIFIEDS And Long Yardage!

Watch for the pedestrians loaded down with Christmas packages. Their minds are on other things, too. Watch for tired shoppers trying to park their cars. Watch for ice and snow on the streets. Christmas decorations are distracting or may partially obscure traffic signals. All are traffic hazards. Keep Christmas in your driving . . . leave the spirits to the other guy if you're getting ,behind the wheel.

SUAIDAY'S^ SfKMOWj HAPPINESS Some who search most diligently for happiness find little more than a small measure. Do not think that happiness is a place. You will notbehappy merely because you live in a certain house, or in a certain town. You may be happier than you would be living somewhere, else yet this is nothing more than being satisfied. with your surroundings. Happiness does not wait for you around the corner or over the hill. Happiness is not a place. You can find happiness only within yourself. It matters not your station in life, your wealth, the importance of your position In the community. You will find happiness only when you wholly approve of the individual you see each time you look in a mirror. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is a state of achievement. Happiness is many things. Mistake it not, only the good can be completely happy in this world -- and only so because they know that the lesson of the l i f e of Christ on earth, which blrthdate we will soon observe, has given example whereby all men may seek and earn truly eternal happiness.
