In distant and some four or five centuries ago. the dining tahle was placed one side of the room and diners were able to partake of food withoui fear of a surprise attack from the rear. In these days the usual posifion of ihe ning table is in the cenier of the room. The advantages of placing it 10 one side, especially when the room is a small ohe, not appear 10 be fully appreciated, but it is a fact that much space can he saved by this ar rangement. especially for family use. Long, narrow tables are hest for the irpose, ahout f-feet long and 1, -feet wide. A table of this description has many advantages over the usual type. There is no framework underneath o nierfere with one's knees and nothing in which one’s feet can become en tangled. The dining room in an apari ment is sometimes particularly limited n size. To overcome the dificuity of finding space for several chairs, one woman designed some hroad-seated stools and had them made. These <tonls are pushed nnder the table when n use For the small combined the most imporiant fag ors in the pian of furnishing are space-saving and cheerfnl environ- ment.
