No matter what lighting fixture vou purchase or have installed, there is one th hear in mind s The surfac the dining e should be the brizhtest spot in the room. There are several ways of ac- ‘complishing this. The most popular ways are to use either a suspended dome, or a large shade. These may be obtained in glass, parchment, ‘and textiles. You may prefer a shower fixture which consists of several pendant ghades. In that case the shades Each man who bravely. fights his way, tackles problems with 2 vim, dds just a little to ’ | lisht a still more effective result will | be secured. On the market you will also find the o-called ball-lamp fixtures, which are | somewhat popular. Many people do not find them satisfactory because they send a glare into the eves. If |vou alveady have them in use, you | should equip them- with shades to | eliminate some of this. | ‘The candelabrum, or candié-fixture, jis also popular. It must be equipped | with shades, 100, to be satisfactory. | But even with shades this type of fixture casts shadowk, and some com- plaim that it does not illuminate the table enough. You are probably {aware that the best effect.you can | gain in a dining room is to have the |table as the high light, while the | diners are hemmed in by the subdued {light of the rest of the room. The combinaticn bowl-shower has many possibilities. In the bowg im se pendant shades for direct ight, and tinted lamps for secondary light. Aonther” reason’ you may use the latter is because they add the charm- of color. Wall-boxes, coves, {and other out-of-the-way places may be used to conceal tinted lamps for secondary -lighting. If you purchase candles, either real or electric, provide them with simple shades. Otherwise they attract and confuse the eye. When wiring the dining room don't forget the necessity of having a con- venient outlet for connecting. such ap- | pliances as you wish to use. There |are many places for this, at the side of | the buffet, under the table-top near the | hostess, as well as in the floo.. There should be two circuits for the dining ‘room fixture, one near the kitchen, | and the other in the main. entrance. | o] HE @] ™ =3 L INJAIT]LOIN]S [ [[=[>] Z]>[o[m[0] HE S8 B R EHE [Z|C|oJlio m =] REREEIESE®R = | Recause of the. poor husiness condi- tions in Poland™the people have heen unable to huy as much clothing as in previous Winters, and this has thrown many textilée workers out of employ- ment The family names of Umsted and Umstead give little indication of their origin. But the variation Olmstead furnishes the clue. The first two are {but simplified spellings of the latter, | which in its turn is a simplified spell- ing of “Holmstead.” And while the name of “Holmstead” is not easily found today, it is found recorded in [(]o]+ [o] T of late medieval and early modern periods in England. But the meaning of the name “Holmstead” is not similar to that of the word. ‘homestead.” being, of course, the old Saxon ‘“stead” with the meaning of “a place. in this case the first syllable “holm,” which is different from ‘“home,” had a meaning either of “‘oak” or of “low- land,” it is difficult to tell which. the county and municipal documents | The second syllable is the same, | seal on your bread means fo you * - Wiar 1s 17 that causes you to insist upon one kind of bread instead of another? You probably could not say which was which—if it were not for the wrappers. No one but an expert can tell, just by the looks of the loaf, anything about the whole- someness and purity of the ingredients; about the skill and care with which it has been mixed, raised and baked. Isn’t it the name of the maker that decides you—just as it does in the case of almost everything else you buy for your home? On the wrapper of every loaf of Rice’s bread you will find the seal of the City Baking Institute. What does this seal maan to you?

Your housewifely soul will revel in these big, beautifully browned, perfectly baked loaves. And your family will exclaim with pleasure over the rich flavor of the delicate, firm-textured slices. And Rice’s loaves are fresh always because they are baked and delivered twice a . day. Whether you market in the morning or in the afternoon, you are always sure of getting newly baked bread,
